Getting the fears out

So, let me introduce you to a little friend of mine. It’s a new friend, and I’m just making their acquaintance. It’s called the Deviant Moon Tarot.
Depicted here is the Six of Wands (I figured I’d clarify, since the picture is flipped). This is a good example of what this deck looks like, and perhaps explains my original fear of doing a reading with it. It is very dark-feeling… from the colors and from the skewed figures on the cards. Made me feel slightly insane looking at them. Of course, the name of the spread that came with the deck is the Lunatic Spread.
I was asked to do a reading with this deck, so I did, and it turned out better than I expected. I have introduced my energy to this deck, and it has revealed its energy to me, and I think we’ll get along just swimmingly with it playing second fiddle to my main deck.
In short, I was scared to work with this deck. I was asked to read using this deck, and I did it. Remember Eleanor Roosevelt’s quote: “Do one thing every day that scares you.” Your fear is never equivalent to what you experience when you actually get over your fear and just do it! You can surprise yourself!
