So, I had this idea to mess around with tarot cards, you know, just for kicks. I stumbled upon this thing called “The Tower” card, and let me tell you, it’s a trip. I heard some folks online talking about how this card freaks people out, but also that it’s got layers, you know?
First off, I grabbed a deck and started shuffling. Just getting a feel for the cards, nothing fancy. Then, I pulled out The Tower. The picture on it is intense. A tall tower getting zapped by lightning, people jumping out. It looks chaotic, to say the least.
My Initial Thoughts
- “Whoa, this is heavy.” That was my first thought. It looked like bad news.
- “Is this a warning?” I wondered if pulling this card meant something bad was gonna happen to me.
- “Maybe it’s not that literal.” A little voice in my head said maybe it’s more symbolic.
I did what anyone would do – I hit up the internet. I read through a bunch of forums and found some interesting takes. Someone mentioned using The Tower to challenge people’s wrong ideas about it. That got me thinking.
I spent the next few days just staring at the card, trying to see past the obvious doom and gloom. I started journaling about it, writing down whatever came to mind. Stuff like, “What if the tower is something bad in my life that needs to go?” or “Maybe the lightning is a sudden realization?”
Then I tried something a little out there. I started doing mini-readings for myself, focusing on The Tower. I’d ask questions like, “What old beliefs do I need to let go of?” or “Where am I resisting change?” The answers weren’t always clear, but it felt like I was onto something.
I even tried talking to the card. Yeah, I know, sounds weird. But I’d just sit there, look at the image, and ask it, “What are you trying to tell me?” It felt a bit like talking to myself, but in a way that made me think deeper.
After a while, I started to see The Tower differently. It wasn’t just a scary card anymore. It felt more like a wake-up call. Like, “Hey, pay attention! Things are changing, and you need to roll with it.”
One day, I pulled The Tower again, but this time, it didn’t freak me out. Instead, I felt kind of ready. Like, “Alright, let’s do this. What needs to change?” It was a small shift, but it felt huge.
So, yeah, that’s my story about messing with The Tower tarot card. It went from being this scary thing to a tool for thinking about my life. I’m still no tarot expert, but I learned a lot from just playing around with it and being open to whatever it might mean. It’s funny how a picture on a piece of cardstock can mess with your head and maybe, just maybe, help you see things a little clearer.
