Open a book this minute and start reading. Donโt move until youโve reached page fifty. Until youโve buried your thoughts in print. Cover yourself with words. Wash yourself away. Dissolve.

How were you exposed to tarot readings and how/ when did you realize you were a witch? I'm a very new witch and I'm very interested in how other people came to where they are today.
Hi love! I was first exposed to tarot when I started hanging out at metaphysical shops. I bought by first deck, The Steampunk Tarot (Llewelyn illustrated by aly fell). I then discovered a local tarot class at the same metaphysical store. I learned under a professional tarot reader and I really started to learn. I felt a deep connection with that deck, and also the original Rider Waite Smith (RWS) deck. I found the RWS deck the easiest to learn off of and build from there to other decks. I first discovered that I was a witch when I felt a deep connection to the way of a witch, connecting to nature, the elements, and the energies around me. I call myself an eclectic witch since I have not found a religion that I wish to convert to yet. Instead I pull bits and pieces of secular witchcraft, Wiccan witchcraft, eastern spirituality, Native American spirituality, and even bits of the faith I was raised in (Christianity). I myself am new to witchcraft also. It can be very overwhelming with all the info. The best advice I can offer would be to read everything you can on witchcraft related books, I still haven't found a go to book yet otherwise I'd offer you a suggestion, and start on your own book of shadows or grimoire. Remember witchcraft is your own and you need to find what is right for you. Search your local area for metaphysical bookshops and stores. I hope this helps. You can always message me to in the future if you ever need a friend to talk to. Light and love ๐๐
