Tarot - Surprises

I have been experimenting with tarot for some time now. Was always been fascinated, but never got down to buying one till recently. Then I bought three in quick succession and gifted one to a friend who was interested. I have two decks now, one the original Rider-Waite and another Osho Zen tarot pack.

Came across a website giving free on line lessons on learning tarot by Joan Bunning, author of "Learning the Tarot: A Tarot Book for Beginners". Check out the online course, its simple, easy to practice and with wonderful insights ... http://www.learntarot.com

One of the lessons is to take out a card everyday to get a feeling of the day ahead. The cards were so true! Most of the times the card drawn clearly indicated what was going to happen....And added to that there were a few cards that were repeating, indicating a pattern in what was happening in my life...

Have you tried it?

Got so excited that I bought another deck and presented to a friend. Since she has also become a fan. Last week bought the Osho Zen deck at landmark, Nungambakkam, Chennai. They had only three decks. One Indian deck which seemed like a clone of the Rider Waite. Didnt like the feel of these except the Osho Zen deck, so bought it immediately.

The Osho Zen pack is beautifully painted. Each card has a key word, which should make the reading easy. I subtle flowing images trigger intuition easily.

Planning to work on it regularly now..Wait for the updates...
