Okay, so I got this wild idea to dive into the world of tarot reading. Not just any tarot, mind you, but the Eight Coins Tattoo Tarot. Yeah, it’s got a fancy name, but trust me, it’s pretty cool. I’ve always been a bit of a sucker for tattoos and the whole mystical vibe, so blending the two? Sign me up!
First off, I had to get my hands on a deck. It was really a long time before I started this thing. Scouring the internet, I finally found one that seemed legit. There are so many options but I finally bought it. Then I waited and waited for so long, and the package arrived! Unboxing it felt like Christmas morning. The cards were stunning, each one a mini piece of art with intricate tattoo designs. They really captured that edgy, tattoo parlor aesthetic.
Now, I’m no expert, so I also snagged the guidebook that came with the deck. It’s a chunky little book, about 188 pages, and it’s packed with full-color illustrations of each card. Flipping through it, I started to get a feel for the meanings. Like, the number eight card, “Fortitude,” which is all about power, energy, and courage. It’s even linked to the Leo sign in astrology, which is pretty neat. This one is my favorite card.
I started small, pulling a card each day and reading up on its meaning. The Eight Coins card itself is super interesting. It’s all about work, skill, and patience. But it’s also a reminder to stay humble and not get too greedy. It’s like the cards are telling you to focus on your craft but also keep your feet on the ground.
I tried doing some basic readings for myself, you know, just to practice. It felt a bit weird at first, talking to the cards like they were a friend with advice. But the more I did it, the more I started to see patterns and connections to my own life. I love the tarot cards because it can give me a clear mind of what I want.
Then I got a bit braver and offered to do readings for some friends. They were skeptical, but also curious. I’d lay out the cards, explain the meanings, and we’d talk about how they related to their situations. It was surprisingly insightful, and a few of my friends were actually blown away by how accurate it felt. I love to share my fun things with my friend and they all love it. We all are happy about this.
One reading, in particular, sticks out. My friend was struggling with a big career decision. The cards I pulled for her highlighted the themes of the Eight Coins – dedication, skill, and the need for patience. It was like the cards were telling her to trust her abilities and not rush into anything. She said it gave her a new perspective and helped her make a more informed decision. That’s so great!
The more I practiced, the more I realized that tarot isn’t just about predicting the future. It’s more like a tool for self-reflection and understanding. The cards help you tap into your intuition and see things from a different angle. It was a really long way for me to get into this tarot world. But it worth it.
I also started exploring the idea of getting a tattoo inspired by one of the cards. The “Fortitude” card, with its powerful imagery, really resonated with me. I haven’t taken the plunge yet, but I’ve been sketching out some ideas. It’s like a way to carry that reminder of strength and courage with me. I have to make sure the tattoo is really meaningful to me.
All in all, this Eight Coins Tattoo Tarot journey has been a wild ride. It’s opened up a whole new world of symbolism, self-discovery, and connection. It’s not just a hobby, it’s become a part of how I approach life – with a bit more patience, a dash of creativity, and a whole lot of respect for the craft. Oh, and maybe a tattoo to commemorate the adventure!
