Does anyone have any good spreads for interviewing a tarot deck? I like my new Wildwood Tarot and want to get to know it a bit better before I use it for daily draws. Thanks in advance! ---

Good idea @Amethyst & thank you for the link @Saulamay! I think I will interview mine, I feel like we should strengthen our connection. ---

I’d love to see your new deck @Amethyst !! The Little Red Tarot website has a spread for that: [Tarot Deck Interview Spread](https://littleredtarot.com/tarot-deck-interview-spread/) These are the questions it includes: 1. Tell me about yourself. What is your most important characteristic? 2. What are your strengths as a deck? 3. What are your limits as a deck? 4. What are you here to teach me? 5. How can I best learn and collaborate with you? 6. What is the potential outcome of our working relationship? Good luck! ---

[5 Ways To Get To Know Your Tarot Deck](https://intuitivetarotreadings.wordpress.com/2017/01/21/5-ways-to-get-to-know-your-new-tarot-deck/) - Keep your deck close by, carry it around with you, sleep with it. - Meditate or go to sleep with one card at a time. - Journal about the cards (impressions, feelings, thoughts, etc.). - Do a spread reading. - Work with a specific suite at a time (pentacles, swords, cups, wands), work with the major arcana first then switch to minor arcana (vice versa). ![tarotspread](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/0/0eab91d49e799a8029b31ee6aa5dac2022629cb9.jpeg) ---

Do you all know how amazing you actually are though ❤❤ My mum was at an outdoor market we have near us today and she has picked me up a tarot deck from one of the stalls 😍 I don’t know what kind yet because she was on her way up north for a week but I want it to be a surprise ❤ this is perfect info for when I get them ❤ ---

Tomorrow when I think I will interview mine a little bit. I have done some of the other things when I originally got it. I think asking it questions will be fun & informative. ---

Oh great job! I will get mine out in a little bit. I like to wait for Peanut to be off to school after my husband & son leave for work. Less chaotic for me. 😄 I can’t wait to see what comes of mine! I will let you know what it says when I do it. ---

It’s been a while since I’ve gotten a new deck but I usually don’t do spreads like these. Instead, I sit with the cards, shuffle them, rifle through them and just look at them. Usually I can pick up on different energies (if there are any yet) and get a feel for the deck. ---

These cards have very stiff card stock so they’re a bit difficult to shuffle. But yeah, I sat with them Friday night, getting a feel of them. Then I did the interview yesterday. I think I’m gonna really learn a lot from them. ---

My deck is here 😁 my uncle was on his way past from Inverness so he dropped them in to me along with the kids pressies ❤ It’s the wild unknown Tarot? I already like the feel of them ❤ ![IMG_20210610_095154](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/2/244abf2bff8da999a1e9c55568c20079f55dd56d.jpeg) ![IMG_20210610_095031](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/2/295a539395ab401de0bc34fabd8b72d9976d5523.jpeg) ![IMG_20210610_094913](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/5/5aad64c2a5817674188bdb186b2e02af814f4818.jpeg) ![IMG_20210610_095459](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/1/1e529619810b5b2d76ecf872601e63b7c7c13ce0.jpeg) ![IMG_20210610_094557](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/4/4e110e2d54c2e62f427ac2463717f31d3f10ccdf.jpeg) ---

Oh @Liisa those are beautiful! I love them! I’m so afraid to get another deck because the 2 I have are great. I will say that the Rider-Waite deck I have hasn’t been used in quite some time. I gravitate toward my Light Seer’s Tarot deck. I love that deck, it’s so honest with me. ---

Ooh, those are very pretty @Liisa! Nice deck! I only have two @Susurrus! Well, I have a couple I didn’t connect with and don’t use but I have two that I mainly use. Some people have dozens of decks, buy two or three at a time. I don’t know how they learn their deck’s personalities that way. ---

I have a tarot reader that she collects decks but uses 3 or 4 in a reading plus an oracle deck or 2. She has some beautiful cards & knows most of them without needing her books. She does use the books but mostly can just read the cards. I can’t imagine learning the personalities of so many decks either. I’m still on the fence about getting an oracle deck. I have seen some lovely decks, but I’m intimidated by them. 😂 ---

I really like this deck, I use it when I am looking for blunt honesty, this deck has not let me down yet. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. Blessed be. [Next page](https://forum.spells8.com/t/interviewing-a-tarot-deck/10611.md?page=2)
