You know those brutally honest Tarot readings that make you feel like your Tarot deck was kicking you in the ass? The ones that don’t tell you what you want to hear but what you need to hear?

My very first Tarot reading with my very first Tarot deck was like that.

Fool Closeups from Jean Dodal, Thoth, and RWS Tarot.

Let me tell you, I didn’t really appreciate it back then. I was an ignorant newbie who was hoping for a profound and pompous and grandiose reading with fancy and dramatic cards. Instead, the deck fooled me – both figuratively and very much literally.

Let me share this foolish tale with you. It features an ignorant (and a bit arrogant) newbie Tarot reader, a brutally honest and provocative Tarot deck, and an annoying reading that took a few months to sink in.
