Okay, so today I decided to mess around with Tarot cards and try to get some “predictions.” I’ve always been a bit curious about this stuff, but never really gave it a serious shot. So, I figured, why not? Let’s dive in and see what happens!
Getting Started
First things first, I needed some cards. Luckily, I had an old deck lying around that a friend gave me years ago. I dusted it off – literally, it was pretty dusty – and found a quiet spot in my living room. I wanted to make sure I wouldn’t be disturbed.
Next, I needed to, you know, actually learn how to do a reading. I’ve seen people do it in movies, but I had absolutely no clue. So, I grabbed my phone and did a quick search. I found a bunch of websites and videos, most of which seemed way too complicated. Eventually, I stumbled upon a simple three-card spread that looked easy enough.
The Three-Card Spread
The spread I chose was super basic: one card for the past, one for the present, and one for the future. I shuffled the deck, trying to “focus my energy” or whatever you’re supposed to do. Honestly, I felt a little silly, but I went with it.
I cut the deck and laid out the three cards face down, left to right. Time to flip them over and see what the “universe” had in store for me.
My Reading
- Past: The first card I flipped was “The Lovers”. The guide I was using online, which was very brief and useful, told me, very basically, that it represents relationships, choices, and alignment of values. Sounded pretty accurate, considering some recent decisions I’ve been making.
- Present: Next up was “The Wheel of Fortune”. This card is a major arcana, which my guide talked about as life-changing events, and the one I got supposedly is all about cycles, luck, and destiny. Interesting… I guess I’m in a period of change? Kind of feels that way, to be honest.
- Future: Finally, I flipped the last card and got “The Star”, which is another major one. This one seems pretty positive. It’s all about hope, inspiration, and renewal. Okay, I can dig that. Maybe things are looking up!
My Thoughts
So, what did I make of all this? Honestly, it was more fun than I expected. I don’t know if I believe in Tarot’s ability to predict the future, but it was a cool way to reflect on my current situation. The cards I drew actually resonated with me, and it got me thinking about things from a different perspective.
It’s a way to explore one’s feelings and thoughts, and not be overly concerned with the factual validity of the method.
Will I become a regular Tarot reader? Probably not. But it was a fun experiment, and I might even try it again sometime. Maybe I’ll even invest in a fancy new deck – this old one has seen better days! The method also can be just another way to gain some insight, reflect, relax, and most of all have some fun!
