I can't get my head around astrology, and trying to do so during a reading would distract me from being with and for my client. For those who use it well, great, but that doesn't make it necessary, imo.Inner Whispershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04577110987784585986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8749644478681930620.post-83104051044679843862012-04-10T18:52:42.666+01:002012-04-10T18:52:42.666+01:00I know nothing about Kabbalah... I don't even ...I know nothing about Kabbalah... I don't even know how to spell it properly. And honestly, I never missed it in my practice. I feel no connection to the Jewish mysticism. I feel no connection to any esoteric orders that teach Kabbalah. I don't see the point of forcing myself to learn something that, for the time being, I do not need. Perhaps in the future the interest will manifest spontaneously within me -- and then it will be the right time for me to explore this field.<br /><br />Tarot is tarot. You don't need astrology/kabbalah/Golden Dawn/paganism/numerology to use it. It's a tool that is complete in itself. IF you like such things, they'll enhance your practice - but only because they make sense to you, because their fit your practice, because they add to your way of understanding life. <br /><br />As for the Thoth being better than the RWS, it's a load of croc is you ask me. Honestly, I think that many people who use the Thoth feel 'superior' because for a long time its language was considered more 'esoteric' (read, mysterious) than the good ol' easily-accessible RWS. But the Thoth is just a tool and a tool is only good in the hand of someone who knows how to use it. The reading is in the reader.MLFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05014075906695139013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8749644478681930620.post-69232556416099625752012-04-09T23:43:33.805+01:002012-04-09T23:43:33.805+01:00Sorry lol. Misinterpreted you're question. Its...Sorry lol. Misinterpreted you're question. Its the same as a regular deck of cards with only one joker instead of two. That's actually what I wanted to learn first was from a regular deck. But couldn't quite get the hang of it so I went with a Tarot deck since her cards weren't out yet. The deck is made with quality card stock, the handkerchief type white cloth, I wrap mine in it. Plus the booklet, a candle and oil. For me personally it would make it very easy to move to a regular deck of cards if you so wanted to, but I really mesh with her deck as it is.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15884854197825223335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8749644478681930620.post-46618448022951353722012-04-09T22:57:02.104+01:002012-04-09T22:57:02.104+01:00I know about conjure, I am curious about the cards...I know about conjure, I am curious about the cards.

Some of our family practices are sort of conjure-y. :)Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03494373028041693775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8749644478681930620.post-15012720132898240512012-04-09T20:24:41.787+01:002012-04-09T20:24:41.787+01:00I as a fairly new reader, (9 months or so) I don&#...I as a fairly new reader, (9 months or so) I don't think it's necessary. I've been learning without all the extras and my deck is a RWS commerative deck. However I've been using the Old Style conjure card kit from Mama Starr and it is based on a plain old regular deck of cards and I love them! It's more personal opinion in my eyes. I'm sure loads would disagree but that's fine with me, what suits one doesn't always fit another!!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15884854197825223335noreply@blogger.com
