Okay, so a while back, I got into this whole tarot card reading thing. I mean, who hasn’t heard of tarot cards, right? At first, I’ll admit, I was just curious. But then, I started digging deeper, and man, it’s a whole world in there! So I figure, why not share my little journey here? Maybe someone else will find it as fascinating as I did.
First things first, I grabbed a deck. Didn’t go for anything fancy, just a standard Rider-Waite deck I picked up from a local bookstore. You know, the one with the colorful, kinda medieval-looking pictures? Yeah, that one. I spent a good few days just looking at the cards, front and back, trying to get a feel for them. I read the little booklet that came with the deck, but honestly, it was all a bit overwhelming at first.
Then, I started doing this daily card pull thing. Every morning, I’d shuffle the deck, focus on a question or just the day ahead, and pull out one card. I’d jot down some notes about the card’s meaning and how I felt about it. Some days, the card totally resonated with what was going on in my life. Other days, it felt like a total miss. But I kept at it.
After a while, I felt ready to try something a bit more involved. I found this seven-card spread online—it’s supposed to give you a snapshot of your current situation, past influences, and possible future outcomes. Sounded cool, so I gave it a shot.
I laid out the cards as instructed:
- Card 1: The current situation.
- Card 2: The challenge.
- Card 3: The past.
- Card 4: The recent past.
- Card 5: The possible future.
- Card 6: Factors affecting the situation.
- Card 7: The outcome.
Let me tell you, that first seven-card reading was a bit of a trip. I took my time with each card, really thinking about how it connected to the other cards and to my life. I wrote down everything that came to mind, even if it seemed kinda out there.
My First Seven-Card Reading
When I finished, I sat back and looked at the whole picture. It was like looking into a slightly distorted mirror. Some things were spot on, other things were a bit fuzzy. But it definitely gave me some food for thought. I realized it’s not about predicting the future with 100% accuracy. It’s more about gaining a new perspective, seeing things from a different angle.
Since then, I’ve done a few more seven-card readings, and each time it’s been an interesting experience. I’m still no expert, but I’m learning as I go. And honestly, that’s half the fun, right? So, yeah, that’s my tarot card story so far. Who knows where this journey will take me next?
