I have a lot of Tarot card decks. More than you think I have. I bring a big selection to events to let people choose; and that's not even a small percentage of my decks. I am a collector. They all have different personalities and ways of communicating. I have my favorites for sure, and I use them for different reasons. Today's reading was done on my first Tarot deck- The Universal Waite, illustrated by Pamela Coleman Smith. Because sometimes- you just need to talk to an old friend. I shuffled the cards and asked for a reading for someone who sees this post. Read on and see if it's for you. 

This week's reading was done on The Black Tarot by Victoria Iva. It is a Tarot deck that I bring often to events, though not many people choose it. I like to have a variety of decks to choose from because you learn a lot about a person by the deck that they intuitively choose. It seems to not be an easy thing to pick up an all black deck. I suppose it looks a bit ominous. I find this deck to be stunning and even jarring at times. It seems to speak loudly and doesn't mince words. Maybe that's why people don't often choose it! I shuffled The Black Tarot and asked for a reading for someone who will see this post. Read on and see if it's for you! 

This week's reading was done on a deck that challenges me a bit. The Cary Yale Visconti Tarot is a 15th century Tarot deck and is one of the earliest decks that can be found in print. It is not a simple deck to get to know. There are no names or numbers on the cards, so I have to often put the cards back in order to remember which card is which! The Minor arcana is not illustrated in a way that is symbolic, and would not be for another few hundred years. It is often speaking in themes that I am unfamiliar with because I do not live in the 15th century. There are extra Pages and Knights for each suit! But, even with the challenges- I love old Tarot. There is something about the Visconti decks that really pulls in my curiosity and imagination. I shuffled the cards and asked for a reading for someone who will see this post. Read on and see if it's for you! 

Greetings to the friends of Iris X Readings! This week, I am working with The Avian Tarot by Brittany Lyn Batchelder again! When I first get a new deck, I tend to spend some time focusing on it and getting to know it. This one makes me want to research Birds! There are 78 birds to represent the 78 Tarot cards. The connections that she made are quite impressive! I shuffled the cards and asked for a reading for someone who will see this post. I never know who it will be for until I post it. Read on- see if it's for you! At the end of the post, there will be information about Pending Readings- readings that are paid for and available for people who need some guidance and support.
