Hello, all!
Phoenix Rising and I are two avid cartomancers, those who work primarily with playing cards... and we've always wondered about this... so I thought I'd ask in a thread...
I started with tarot several years ago, but at the beginning of the year switched to reading with playing cards... and I do love it... I was wondering why not as many of you who are interesting in tarot, are not so interested in playing cards?? (especially those who enjoy the T'oD) forgive me if I'm assuming too much or anything.. there just isn't a whole lotta discussion on PCs beside over in the oracle reading section.... now I do know this is a tarot based website... and tarot is and should be the focus... but many people seem to have varied interests as well and I just wonder why there isn't a bigger draw to pcs...
I've heard some who feel they're too blunt... don't pull their punches... are difficult to learn.. the lack of picture isn't interesting... etc... and I can understand this because when I first began to work with them I found it a bit daunting... but over the course of the past nine months, I've come to love them and appreciate them for their remarkable insights... they really can delve into a subject with great depth... and seem to be exceptionally clear to me... I often say I feel like I should have been working with them from the start... not that I don't love tarot by any means... it still a passion of mine...
so... who's explored playing cards? why? what turned you off or on to them? why haven't you been drawn to them?? anyone have a family tradition of reading with pcs?? I'm just very curious and these are some questions that pop into mind...
I hope to get some insights......
thanks, all!
