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.

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.
