I will always recommend runes simply because if you have questions about those I can help you. But if you'd rather do tarot, ask Aph for help or see if you can maybe just find someone else you know who can.

Queen - I'm also looking into purchasing a set of tarot cards!
It's a shame my local bookstore has a very limited section on what they deem 'new age religions', under which they include Paganism. I might have to go into my states capital city, which luckily isn't far, to the warehouse. It's literally the best bookstore ever (3 storeys with its own cafe), so hopefully they'll have a wider range of source material.
Hey, do any of you guys practice with crystals?

You could also try making your own? I'm sure if you have any 3x5 note cards you could probably print out tarot cards and use a glue stick to make them.
I mean, I took some 3x5s and cut them into 4ths to make my runes, so.

I have some crystals! (Some of which I don't know what they are.) I use them sometimes but I don't have them quite as memorized. I just know certain stones or the names of a few. I used to collect them when I was little so I still have a pouch of 'em.

I have heaps of crystals, and I love them. I'm looking into how they can help me channel my energies and help with my dreams (which are so weird at the moment). It was recommended by my spiritual therapist, and since I have an entire box I thought I'd give it a try. I've had some interesting, albeit wonderful, experiences so far.
If you have any you don't know, I could probably identify them for you - I study geology as a subject, and we focus a lot on crystals and rocks.

Dingoleap what would you like to know? qυeeɴ oғ ɢнoѕтlιɴɢѕ whatever deck really draws you in, buy that one. for example, I have a really close relationship with the Goddess in all of her forms and entities and when I was trying to pick out a deck I chose the goddess deck. it immediately caught my eye and I knew I had to have it.

Queen of Ghostlings - It mostly depends what you want to use the crystals for, as each crystal has a very specific function/role. Crystals are primarily used for healing/cleansing. Rose Quarts is traditionally considered a very powerful crystal, representing unconditional love and gratitude while cleansing the aura of toxic emotions related to love such as anger, tension, and resentment. It is also commonly linked to hope/inner peace.
I know for me to use my crystals effectively, I can't be overly emotional. crystal healing, to me, is about achieving peace through expelling negative energy. I find amethyst and quarts work really well for me. If your having trouble with your crystals, try leaving them in the moonlight overnight. This is used to cleanse the crystals of negative energy and can recharge their powers.
Like most things, its just a matter of finding what works for you. I can link you to some websites that I found particularly helpful if you like. I'll also post a photo of my collection, if you'd like to see c:
Aph - I'm mostly interested in how you learnt to read them. Did you have someone teach you or did you teach yourself?

Dingoleap nope, I taught myself! most of the time a little guide booklet will come with your deck, explaining what the cards mean. I started off learning the major arcana first and then the minor, because there are much more cards in the minor.

My favorite stone to use and carry with me is an opal. Because of it's shape I also use it as a kind of worry token in my pocket. I know I also have an amethyst that gives me a pleasant feeling too. But I've found that tigers-eye stones have a tendency to give me bad luck! Where as jade gives me really good luck and makes me feel almost powerful when holding it. I have a small egg-shaped jade on the pommel of my wand because of it.
And I agree with Aph on the tarot cards, and that goes for any magical tool you might buy. Go for the one that draws you in the most.

huh, thats really cool! I know there's a guide book in the set I'm eyeing, so that should be helpful. I did begin researching the meanings of the major arcana a while back, because one day I want to make my own desk, but illustrating that many cards will take forever, and I don't really have time for it this year. I was actually supposed to get a reading done a few months back, but I was sick on the weekend they were doing them.
There's this great little place in my home town that specialises in spiritual healing/massages/facials and stuff, and on special occasions they have a fortune teller come in, but I missed it this year, unfortunately.

Do you do readings for people? Also if I was to get a deck cause you teach me if you have the time and want to? It's okay if you can't but it never hurts to ask

OH!! Dingo!! Did you want to be added to the front page? Man, all this good conversation has me so hyped today. This feels kinda like a little forum coven, honestly.
And what is the difference between the major and minor arcana cards in a tarot deck? How many cards are even in a standard deck?

Omg, guys. Something just popped into my head. What if I change the "Fellow Pagans" title to "Cozy Coven Cohorts"?

Leapkit DO IT OMG. also, a standard deck has 78 cards: 22 major arcana and 56 minor arcana. the minor arcana are the ones divided into the four suits: pentacles, swords, cups, and staves. cards in the major arcana have a deeper meaning and are have long-term affects. the minor cards have less importance but are definitely still important. they are named for their importance. qυeeɴ oғ ɢнoѕтlιɴɢѕ I do readings, definitely. I'll see how much I can teach you ^.^ Dingoleap I'd be glad to do a reading for you over skype!

Tryggr - I'd love to be added to the front page! I'm really enjoying being a part of this community. My state doesn't even have any pagan festivals that I'm aware of, so there's not really anywhere I can branch out. I'm not surprised - I read somewhere recently that there are more people in Texas than there are in my entire country, despite Australia and America being of roughly equal size :/
my thing for the front page - Paganism is something I've followed for quite a while, but never have really pursued before recently. I practice mostly Wicca, but also feel an affinity to Louisiana Voodoo, which I am beginning to dabble in. I specialise mostly in healing magic using crystals and want to learn Tarot as well. I consider Bast to be my patron goddess, but hold a deep respect for other loa (spirits).
Is that enough? *laughs nervously*
