My Quest Begins
So I got obsessed with this Serpentfire Tarot deck after seeing pictures online. They looked dark, intricate, totally my vibe. Decided I absolutely had to have them. Problem was, I had zero clue where to start. Never bought special cards like this before.
The Online Search Marathon
First thing, obviously, I grabbed my laptop. Tried googling things like “Serpentfire Tarot buy” and “Serpentfire Tarot deck.” Honestly? Got totally buried in results. Saw hundreds of listings. Felt overwhelming. Prices were all over the place too – some looked too cheap to be real, others crazy expensive. Then I started noticing weird name variations: “Serpent Fire,” “Serpents Fire.” Made me panic thinking I might accidentally grab a cheap knockoff!
- Checked out big online book places.
- Searched on general shopping websites.
- Looked at shops specifically for weird or spiritual stuff.
- Scrolled through some niche hobby sites too.
Hitting the Brick and Mortar Wall
Frustrated online, I figured maybe real stores would be easier. Spent a whole Saturday afternoon running around town:
- My local big bookstore: They had plenty of RWS and cute decks, but nothing even close to Serpentfire.
- The “New Age” shop downtown: Got excited walking in! Smelled like incense. They had gorgeous cards… but again, no Serpentfire. Owner hadn’t even heard of it.
- A few independent book nooks: Lots of charm, zero Serpentfire.
Total bust. Left feeling super discouraged. Back to the internet it was.
Focusing the Search
Learned my lesson online. Started looking only at the big, trusted places I saw people mentioning in forums. Ignored the weird third-party sellers on huge marketplaces – too risky. Kept an eye out for places known for genuine board games, books, and legit metaphysical supplies.
Finally Finding “The One”
After comparing prices and digging through reviews on the trustworthy sites, I found it. On a major bookstore retailer I already knew and had an account with. Price felt okay, definitely not the cheapest but not insane either. Best part? It said “In Stock!” That did it. Clicked ‘Add to Cart’, scrambled for my credit card, confirmed the shipping address (double-checked!), and hit ‘Place Order’. Felt a huge wave of relief! Got the email confirmation instantly.
The Delivery Thrill and First Impressions
Tapped my foot constantly checking the tracking link. Took about a week. When that box finally landed on my porch, I swear I ran to get it. Ripped it open like a kid at Christmas. Inside, the deck was wrapped in plastic, sealed in its sturdy box. Slid the cards out. Felt heavy, good quality. The artwork? Even more stunning in person – dark, detailed, snakes twisting everywhere. Exactly what I hoped for. Spent the next hour just looking through every card.
Whole process was a journey! From pure curiosity to frustration hitting dead ends, to finally nailing down exactly where reliable folks sell this awesome deck. Glad I stuck it out. They’re sitting right here now, ready for a reading!
