Deck Interview: Tea Leaf Fortune Cards

Whenever I get a new deck, I like to “interview” it.  Below is the result.  Some of the meanings ended up being more intuitive than “traditional”.  Clarifiers are more of a tarot thing but it worked here…I had the urge to draw two and no more every time I wanted clarification.

1. What is your most important characteristic?  Frying Pan – I can be used when you are troubled, baffled or upset.

4. What is your curriculum? Older Woman – To teach you
   1. Clarifier 1:  Cobweb – how to protect yourself when events are beyond your control
   2. Clarifier 2:  Basket – how to maximize your efforts
5. How should I use you? Fair Woman – for Current Events
   1. Clarifier 1:  Show opportunities
   2. Clarifier 2:  Point out journeys

7. Who wants to work through you? Finger – Warning
   1. Clarifier 1:  Tent – Temporary arrangement, more of a swinging door arrangement
   2. Clarifier 2:  Woman – currently a female

Hmmm…so used by whoever has a message for me.  Looks like I need to get in the habit of asking who is addressing me when I use these cards.  My inclination is this is another voice for my Ancestors but I couldn’t tell you why.  A deck to rely on when I’m tired because of its directness or when I’m too upset to try tarot.
