I was banned from card gatherings too as I just wanted to chat or hadn’t been paying attention when the rules were poorly explained, also banned from exam revision sessions for distracting everyone - and Shithead was definitely the only one I was occasionally invited to play.
This post made me laugh out loud while feeling like I was getting a big hug. There are so many more decks to explore! I so hope your top trumps idea catches on… it’s so good.
Great post ! I loved it, it made me laugh. As someone who has never been into cards either I am now quite intrigued by the Oblique Stratergies ……. Xmas present for daughter and perhaps a set for me. Maybe. I really enjoy your writing. Thank you.
I was introduced to tarot at a writing course about a year ago in a similar way - the images as a jumping off point for stories. I know very little about the meanings but just the images were magnificent and suggested SO much!
Love all of this so much! I think next time we’re together we should create our own must be nice deck! 😉
Love this! Yes to feeling brave enough to use the cards even if we do not fully understand them yet, and yes, always, to the quiet voice. 💫🔮
