Welcome to The Quest

The Quest, is about a journey all of us take, in some shape or form. It is the quest to understand self, the world, the universe, and in a sense the known and unknown aspects of life. At a deeper level perhaps the meaning of our existence or what we are here to do. So join me as I wander a bit across the landscape of the Lenormand cards, cartomancy, and various tarot and oracle decks. In and of themselves, they will reveal little, for it is only in combination with the mind, the heart, and that illusive aspect, the soul... that meaning is revealed.

Alice in Wonderland Cards

I have a set of Alice in Wonderland playing cards that I picked up a couple years back and I love to use them for readings. They are a deck of regular playing cards plus they have quotations from Alice on them. By using a combination of card/suit meanings and interpretations of what the quotations might be telling us, I have found them to be quite thought provoking and on target more than not.

Do I believe every deck has the potential to be an oracle? Hmmm.....probably not...but certain decks like the Mexican Loteria cards (with their riddles and deep rich history) and the Alice cards where one can combine cartomancy meanings along with the quotations offer a rich source for tapping one's intuition. I maintain that most of the power of a reading is in the reader's intuition and not the cards themselves so if you find a deck that you connect deeply with and that speaks to you then it can be powerful in your hands!

PS: If you are interested in card meanings for this deck, click on the Alice link at the top of the page and it will take you to my own personal interpretations for the deck. I currently have up the Aces, 2s and 3s.
