Greetings from the West Coast

Greetings everyone,
(Cross-Posted since not everyone reads ongoing threads)
Pleased to be here. My fascination with tarot began in high school from an album cover, a hardcore punk band called, Corrosion of Conformity featured several cards fanned out in someone's hand. I never explored the interest, however, until I laid eyes on my first true love at a bookshop (see below!).
I stepped into the Haunted Bookshop in Arizona, circa 1991. a large and lovely shop that managed a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere, I simply began to wander and enjoy. Striding past the counter, I noticed a Thoth Tarot deck displayed in a case. On the cover was the Magus, levitating with tools of creation floating around him in suspended levitation. It was as if nothing else in the room existed. I purchased without hesitation. Discovering the Tarot was akin to finding an old friend that did not need words, a hug or handshake.
It ended up being a large, "greenie" that I still have to this day. I use it once a year, on my birthday.
My website is currently down, but I am pleased to realize while typing this that I have been now reading for 28 years (with some hiatus in-between) and professionally serving clients for over a decade.
The Thoth is my go-to deck for both myself and clients in my practice. While I almost always use the Thoth with Querent sessions, I have branched out personally. Current decks in my rotation include the Wildwood, the darkness of Light, the Tarot of Shadows (Russian) and the Wisdom of the Oracle.
I enjoy all facets of reading; my interests are myriad. But I am adept at remote assessment, which has proven useful and enjoyable.
The area most in need of enrichment is my knowledge of Astrology. It just does not, "stick" with me.
My newest journey is Lenormand -- I just acquired the beautiful Gilded Reverie pack. I'm uncertain if I shall pursue, but it is a fun fling thus far.
Thanks to all who keep this forum vibrant; I like what I see here.
