I have needed a change in reading deck and the Arthurian Hallowquest screamed at me I have just found these threads , and am excited to get started.. Before i found these threads.. I did draw a card to asked how me and this deck will get along..
I received the Grail Six
I am quite happy with that card... It means to me we will get along splendidly, It will take me deeper into not only the Tarot but my ancestral path.. helping me understand more than ever before. The doorway for me represents secrets to be found..it also represents strength to me.. it is the safest place to be in an earthquake as it is the storngest part..the water coming from that doorway is not in the least threatening nor a hinderance if i were to want to explore inside.. water is alsway emotions to me.. so in saying this i feel this card says also that this deck is saying we wil get along quite smoothly blending quite weell wihtout much fuss.. in this card i saw a beautiful black , bird.. I want to say crow or black butcher bird.. both of these birds are from the same family and both of their calls are hauntingly beautiful to me.. my heart actually sings with the notes..so ifeel this deck , this card is going to have a very special place for me, not only as a reading deck, but also a study deck..
also thankyou Aerin for putting so much time into helping us learn this lovely deck..
So, what preparations do I need to make ?
Not many! I already have the deck book and journal (box set)
Not that i read the books that accompany decks much..and if i do i normally tweak the book meanings to match my own.. so me and the deck sing together so to speak.
So now i need to do the three card spread..
I shuffle the Greater Powers, the Courts, and the Lesser powers separately and ask 'what is the most important factor in the course for me in terms of my:
Ok I got for ; Experience; XlV The Couldron, lll Guinevere also jumped out at the same time oops!! Guidance; Stone king
and learning : Grail Ten
K to interpret these , I am not sure whether to interpret Guinevere and the couldron together because they certainly do intertwine in many ways , but i will try keeping them separate for the moment..
The Couldron.. to me says this deck is not only going to take me deep into the depths of tarot but into the depths of ancestral legends.. Through my experiences with this deck i feel it is definately going to take me back to my Roots, , which is Celtic ..in a much deeper, steeped with tradional sense..
I feel with the chains attached to the three different worlds, i feel they are representing to me the ability to bring all aspects together.. making it whole. this card is allowing me to see there is an abundance of knowledge to be gained here, from all points of view..the maiden, the woman , the crone..the stirring of the couldron says to me, this deck will show me how to blend it all together..these are the women behind great men.. these are the women behind all the great decision that were made by these great men,, reminds me of the saying.."Behind each great man there is a greater woman"
Hmm is it going to be the deck behind the reader or the reader behind the deck in this instance LOL!!
I feel this is a good card of favourable outcomes.. a little work on my behalf, ,is what is needed by me , but nothing that i dont already possess..snakes are to do with trust to me.. so i would say if i were to interpret that little critter.. i would say i should trust my instincts, and this deck, to acheive my desired outcome. this card gives me a peaceful feel..no stress at all. ooh a little cat just rubbed up against my leg upon entering this card, how sweet, this card has such a homey feel .
Hmm Guinevere.. to interpret her. as experience as well to me she says i will certainly understand this deck.. that is; it will all come together , this is the link with the couldron.. Guinivere is said to be all three women, the three wives of King arthur.. the maiden, the woman, the crone.. she had the wisdom, all three possess.. to me the spinning of fibre here, again says bringing it all together..ability to be able to understand, to manipulate and control, but not in a bad way..having the ability to be able to be followed without telling others to do so..I think this is going to a well loved deck..this card also reminds me of spring, a breathe of fresh relaxing air..upon entering this card i hear a load of little birds, no bird in particular but the songs of many birds..to me this is joy...
I asked who amongst you is going to guide me, when shuffling the court cards.. Stone King presented himself..
he also is linked to the couldron..I think i will have to study him a little more to see how.. he is such a handsome thing.., he exudes strength, composure, patience and protective..
its like he is sitting in the doorway protecting that which is the other side..
his faithful hound by his side..alert and on guard at any slight movement.. the king putting full trust in his hound , enabling him to relax a little..but i dont feel this king expects a challenge any time soon he seems too laid back for that.. I feel he is the law, he can command without malice. Upon entering the card it morphed.. the king became an old man sitting by a fire..I sat at his feet, the old hound came up and snuggled besides me, the king began to tell me stories of old.. I feel this king of stones is most certainly going to help me with the traditions of this era,. He is defiantely going to be a great Guide.
Learning.. grail ten.. I am going to just enter this card and see what it says to me..
I feel its been a long journey and the light within the building ahead is welcoming.. to song of the gull is heart felt and happy, its like a celebration of sorts.. like conquering , acheiving a desired affect..feeling of happiness and joy.. and a drink from that grail was well deserved.. a swim in the sea is also on the cards, it is a feeling like i have just come home..a peace. hmm is that a cave? will i now go explore that cave along the foreshore.. tells me there is more
i do feel the breeze and smell the sea in this card.. a really nice peaceful feel to this card..
i think this card is saying to me in terms of me learning this deck , is that i will enjoy it.. I am going to find it easier than i thought.. and i will reap the rewards in a big way at the end of this.. I will become emotionally attached to this deck...O OH!! and also there is more to it than meets the eye and the book that accompanies it!
anyhoo I have started my first lesson.. If time permitting i will be back for the second lesson tomorrow..

oops i think i got those cards mixed up for the questions... suppose to be lesser poweres for the experience
and Greater powers for the learning.. oops.. i hope that doesnt matter..!!
