Merry Meet Awenydd, Thank you for the reply! I seen the deck and it was calling my name so I just got it last week. So it is new to me.... and I sense it is a pretty powerful deck. Although I know the power comes from with in from what I understand. However, I am a newbie to Tarots and I am doing lots of reading about them and esp this deck. So any words of wisdom are welcome. This may sound funny but I have not taken them out of the plastic wrap yet. They are out of the box and in another box safe and secure and protected. But it is like I am afraid of the power this deck seems to refect off to me if that makes any sence. I know a few months back the group here had a study on tarot in general and I missed that so again any guideance is welcomed. Savysage |

Hi Savysage,
I've been involved with Tarot a couple of years now. I've never used the Sacred Circle Deck, but I thought I could help still. The first advice I got when learning was to take a card a day study it, write down any thoughts or feelings I got from the card and try to come up with what I thought the meaning was. There is an exercise Mary Greer calls "entering a card" in her book Tarot for Yourself. She suggests looking at your card and taking it all in, then close your eyes and try to visualize the scene in the card, try to put yourself in the card sensing everything around you, let the person in the card speak to you. After you leave the card write down any insights you had. Write down every†hing. Then you can look the card up in a book and see if your insights were the same or if perhaps you found a personal meaning for the card. Keep a journal and write down any meanings for the cards that feel right to you.
This is a grea�?way to get to know a deck. A card a day.
So open tha�?deck and ge† †�?know it. Sleep with it under your pillow if you like, shuffle it often, make it yours. The power is within you, otherwise it's just a deck of cards.

Merry Meet Shower, Thanks for the tib bits. I loved them! You are right they are just a deck of cards and it is within me to make them what they will be. I like your idea of tackling 1 card a day. It makes it seem not such a big task learning what they all are. I have also been advised that maybe it is too complex of a deck to be first learning with. But I loved them when I saw them and felt as though they were right for me. I will start here in the next few days.... :) Thanks again :) |

Hello. Although I have never heard of the card a day thing, I agree with Shower that this is a good way to get to "meet" your deck. This is a complex deck that has a lot of symbolism and double meanings, so it may not be your best choice of starts, but like me, if it called to you that powerfully, it is ment to be yours. Play with it, familiarize yourself with it and make it your own... this is the only way to develop the intimate connection that you will need for such a deck. I, personally, have found mine to be rather ambigious and vague... or when it does come out and say something, rather in my face blunt and a bit sarcastic, :-) but those may just be reflections of myself. it is a good all around deck that if you use a lot of spreads about situations, and not simply yes and no questions, it will give you a wide view of things with a lot of details. but watch yourself, and do not try to "read into" the cards with the definitions from the book.... take things at face value unless intuition tells you otherwise... with all of the symbolism and possible meanings of these cards, you will be going in circles for hours on one spread (I found this out the hard way... :-) ) if you have any questions, just let me know... I will try to help as I can. Merry Meet, Awenydd |
