Okay, so today I tried this fortune cookie tarot thing, which sounded pretty wild. You know, using fortune cookies instead of tarot cards to see what the future holds? I was curious, so I thought, why not give it a shot?
First off, I got a bunch of fortune cookies. I went to that Chinese place downtown – the one with the awesome General Tso’s chicken – and bought a whole bag. I felt a bit weird buying so many, but hey, it’s for a good cause, right? My future!
I got home, laid out a tablecloth that seemed kind of mystical, lit some candles to set the mood, and spread the cookies out. The idea was to pick a cookie like you’d pick a tarot card, break it open, and see what wisdom it held. It’s supposed to give you some insight into your life or answer your burning questions.
- First Cookie: I closed my eyes, moved my hand over the cookies, and picked one. I cracked it open, and the fortune said, “The simplest answer is to act.” I was thinking about whether to start that online course I’ve been eyeing, so this seemed pretty spot on. Encouraging!
- Second Cookie: I was feeling good, so I picked another one. This time it read, “The pleasure of what we enjoy is lost by wanting more.” Whoa, deep. I guess it’s telling me to appreciate what I have. I’ve been kind of down lately, feeling like I need more, more, more. This was a good reminder to chill and enjoy the moment.
I kept going for a bit, picking cookies and reading fortunes. Some were funny, some were kind of confusing, but a couple really hit home. It’s weird how these little messages can make you think about your life.
Then came the weird part. There’s this old saying that to make the fortunes come true, you should tell no one, eat the cookie, and then burn the little paper. So, I ate the cookies – they were pretty tasty, not going to lie – and then I took the fortunes outside and set them on fire in a little metal bowl. It felt a bit like a ritual, and to be honest, it was kind of fun.
Wrap-Up
So, did the fortune cookie tarot tell me my future? I don’t know. But it did make me think. It’s not about the cookies having magic powers; it’s about taking a moment to reflect on what you’re doing and what you want. Plus, it’s a good excuse to eat a bunch of cookies.
If you’re feeling adventurous or just want a different way to think about things, try it out. It’s a fun little experiment, and you might be surprised by what you find – both in the cookies and in yourself.
