Alright, so I got into this whole tarot reading thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride! I started by just messing around with the cards, you know, shuffling them and laying them out without any real plan. It was like trying to read a book in a language I didn’t know. But I kept at it, day after day. I got myself a deck and started flipping through these cards every day.
First, I picked a quiet spot in my house, away from all the noise. Then, I lit a candle—just a regular one, nothing fancy—to make it feel a bit more, I don’t know, mystical? I sat down, took a few deep breaths to calm my racing thoughts, and shuffled the tarot deck. As I shuffled, I focused on the question I had in mind. Sometimes it was about work, other times about my personal life, you name it.
Once I felt ready, I cut the deck into three piles and then put them back together in a different order. I spread the cards out in front of me and just stared at them for a moment, trying to feel which one was calling out to me. It’s weird, but sometimes it felt like certain cards were practically jumping out at me.
- I picked three cards—one for the past, one for the present, and one for the future.
- Then I flipped them over one by one. Each card had its own little picture and vibe.
- I read the descriptions in the guidebook that came with the deck.
- It was like putting together pieces of a puzzle.
Reflecting and Connecting
After laying out the cards, I spent some time just looking at them, thinking about what each one could mean in the context of my question. It wasn’t about predicting the future with 100% accuracy, but more about getting a fresh perspective on things. I jotted down my thoughts in a notebook, which was super helpful for tracking patterns over time.
Sometimes the cards made total sense right away, and other times I had to sit with them for a while. I talked about my readings with friends, and it was cool to see how they interpreted the same cards differently. It was less about getting a definitive answer and more about exploring different possibilities and perspectives.
Through this whole process, I learned a lot about myself and my approach to life’s ups and downs. Tarot became a tool for self-reflection and a way to tap into my intuition. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but for me, it’s been an enlightening experience. If you’re curious, I say give it a try—you might be surprised at what you discover!
