Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this tarot thing for a bit, and I recently got my hands on the Cosmic Slumber Tarot deck. I gotta say, it’s pretty wild. I was using the RWS deck before, which was cool and all, I mean the pictures and the numbers made sense, you know? But this new one, it’s on another level.
So, the first thing I did was just look at the cards. I mean, really look at them. The artwork, done by this artist Tillie Walden, is insane. It’s all hand-painted, which is crazy, and the colors are so vibrant. It’s like, each card is its own little world, and you could just fall into them. I spent a good hour just spreading them out on my floor, soaking it all in.

Then, I started to do some readings. Nothing too serious, just pulling a card each morning to see what the vibe of the day was. And let me tell you, these cards don’t mess around. They’re super intuitive, even more so than the RWS deck I was used to. It’s like, the images just speak to you on a different level. I pulled the “Strength” card one day, and it had this powerful image of this, the color on it was so strong, and I just felt this surge of energy. It was wild.
- I started keeping a journal, just to jot down my thoughts and feelings about each card.
- I’d write down the card I pulled, the date, and what was going on in my life at the time.
- It was cool to see how the cards reflected what I was going through.
One day, I decided to try a bigger spread. I did this thing called the “Celtic Cross,” which I’d read about online. It’s a ten-card spread, and it’s supposed to give you a pretty in-depth look at a situation. I was dealing with some stuff at work, so I figured, why not? I laid out the cards, following the pattern I’d found, and started to interpret them, one by one.
Honestly, it was a bit overwhelming at first. Ten cards is a lot to take in. But as I went through them, things started to click. The cards in the “past” position totally resonated with what had been going on. The “present” card was spot on. And the cards in the “future” positions, well, they gave me a lot to think about. It wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows, but it felt real, you know?
My Feelings
Using the Cosmic Slumber Tarot deck has been a real trip. It’s opened up this whole new way of looking at things. It’s not just about predicting the future, it’s more like, getting in touch with yourself and your intuition. I’m still learning, but I’m excited to see where this journey takes me. This deck, with its crazy artwork and powerful energy, is definitely a keeper. I am so glad that I got to know this deck.
