New Cards

I do not normally use Tarot or Oracle cards. I do have certain clients who ask me to use them during their sessions. I prefer not to use them. It’s just my own personal preference. Too many things can get jammed up and brought up…causing more confusion than necessary….Ever since I ‘lost’ my Celtic Dragon Tarot cards due to my own error and the bag of hammers who handled them, I haven’t really found a deck that I really had a connection w anyway.

It was several weeks ago, during some intense blog hopping, when I came upon a review of many different Tarot and Oracle decks. When I moved from across the river, I …let go of…all the extra Tarot and Oracle decks I had in my possession…and that was well over thirty decks of various sorts and types…I don’t even think I own an actual “Tarot” deck anymore, not in the Traditional sense. But—during that blog hopping session, I found The Deck…The Perfect Deck, just for me…

When I first saw the Celtic Dragon Tarot—I knew they were for me. Not only did I see that-R saw it too, for himself. He waited til after I bought mine and he could handle them before he bought his own deck. I have since inherited his deck, which I love and keep safe…I already had a rapport w his cards anyway, so the switch from my defunct deck to his deck was unremarkable. He and I have been synced for a very long time—all we needed to do at any given time was access that link.
It was the same thing w this deck of cards…the Oracle of the Dragonfae. That instant click—that instant connection—that instant bloom …
Unlike the Celtic Dragon Tarot, so long ago, I did not immediately buy the Dragonfae deck. It took me well over a month, not looking, not researching, just waiting for that best right time…and then, when I knew the timing was right, I ordered them. Ordered. They needed to be delivered to me—sight unseen, cards untouched—just as the Celtic Dragon cards had been.
And just as the Celtic Dragon Tarot reached out to me before I ever opened the package, the Dragonfae made their presence known to me even before we picked up the mail, before we ever arrived at the house. The second my hand was on the package, I felt the connection –not establishing…not re-establishing…not really awakening…but more like a seed waiting for the right conditions to push forward—now my bloom has come. More like looking into the eyes of kin and knowing—we’re related—we’re meant to be together—a lover doesn’t cover it because there’s too many connotations there—family doesn’t really get it because it doesn’t express things deeply enough…but it was the recognition of knowledge and connection there…seeing what was already there and pulling it out and embracing it…
I nearly cried wandering through the deck during the first inspection. I know these beings. I know these energies far better than I did when I first held the Celtic Dragon Tarot. Every time I pull from that deck, I am not reminded of another—I am reminded of myself, of other pieces, of other shades, of my very own self.
This is the space into which I have needed to dive. This is the space where the Free embrace the Freedom and the Reality. This is the synchronicity that always happens in my life. I am glad of it. I am blessed by it and because of it. I am more than touched, more than happy, more than stunned, more than fascinated…
It is all so amazing.
The synchronicity and the connection w these cards, with these energies—stunning. Again, I am so very blessed…

But that doesn’t mean I give readings using a tarot or an Oracle deck! Unless specifically requested, of course…
