My only deck is a narrative deck: Tarot of The Haunted House by Sasha Graham, illustrated in the tradition of gothic romance paperback novels of the 1960s & 70s. It spoke to me because I love old horror films.
I did a simple 3 card spread per the deck's guidebook. Here's what I pulled:
Card 1 = A fear to be discarded: 8 Strength
"Power, kindness, discipline, gentleness, patience, prowess, composure, fortitude, endurance."
Card 2 = An action to be taken: 3 of Wands
"It is time to set plans into action, you can sit on the sidelines no longer. Move forth. Creativity, venture, putting plans to work."
Card 3 = An attitude to be embraced: The Fool
"Your journey has begun. The adventure starts and what has started can't be stopped. Innocence, beginning, potential, pilgrimage, open, madness."
I've been dilly dallying about starting up my own practice. I'll take this as a sign to get cracking on it for real!
Wow, I love it! This reading reminds me of my new years resolution: to embrace the failure that comes with starting something new. Basically to embrace being bad at the new things I try- to discard my perfectionist tendencies and take on new challenges with good humor and joy
That's definitely how I read your 1st card- to disregard strength. I read it as to disregard perfectionism or your image of strength to allow yourself to be vulnerable and to be a beginner
