Well, let me tell ya, this whole “tarot tapestry” thing, it ain’t somethin’ I ever thought I’d be jabberin’ about. But here we are, so let’s get down to it.
What in the world is a tarot tapestry anyway?
Now, I ain’t no fancy scholar or nothin’, but from what I gather, a tarot tapestry is like a big ol’ cloth with pictures on it. Them pictures, they ain’t just any pictures though. They’re from them tarot cards, you know, the ones them fortune tellers use.
- Some folks, they hang ’em on the wall.
- Others, they use ’em to cover tables or somethin’.
- I even heard tell of some folks usin’ ’em on the floor, like a rug. Can you believe that? A rug with all them fancy pictures on it!
Why would anyone want one of them things?
Well, I reckon it’s all about the looks. Them tarot cards, they got some purdy pictures on ’em. All them moons and stars and whatnot. They’re kinda mysterious-lookin’, you know? And folks, well, they like mysterious stuff. Makes ’em feel like they’re in on some secret or somethin’.
And then there’s the whole fortune tellin’ thing. Some folks believe them cards can tell the future or give you advice or somethin’. So, I guess havin’ a tapestry with them pictures on it makes ’em feel like they got some kinda good luck charm or somethin’.
How do you even use one of them tapestries?
Now, that’s the funny part. You don’t really use it, not like you use a dishrag or a hammer. It’s mostly just for decoration. You hang it up, you look at it, and that’s about it.
But I reckon some folks might use it for them card readin’ things. You know, they lay out the cards on the tapestry and do their fortune tellin’ thing. I ain’t never seen it done myself, but I heard tell of it.
Spreading them cards out, what’s that all about?
Okay, so this card spreadin’ thing, it’s kinda like layin’ out a story with them picture cards. I heard there’s different ways to do it, dependin’ on what you wanna know.
One way, you just put three cards in a row. The first one, that’s what happened in the past. The middle one, that’s what’s happenin’ now. And the last one, that’s what’s gonna happen in the future. Simple as that.
Then there’s this other way, where you put out five cards in a circle. That one, I heard, is for when you wanna dig a little deeper, you know, get more details. They say each card means somethin’ different, dependin’ on where you put it in the circle.
Them cards and their meanin’, is there somethin’ to it?
Well, take the Moon card for example. It’s got this big ol’ moon on it, and some dogs howlin’ at it. Kinda spooky, if you ask me. Some folks, they say it’s a bad card, means trouble or confusion. But others, they say it just means you need to pay attention to your dreams or somethin’.
See, it’s all about how you look at it, I reckon. Just like life, ain’t it? Sometimes things look bad, but then they turn out okay. And sometimes things look good, but then they go south. That’s just the way it is.
So, you wanna put some magic in your house huh?
I heard tell some folks make a special little corner in their house, like a shelf or somethin’, and they put their tarot stuff there. Cards, tapestries, candles, whatever. They call it an altar, I think. Kinda like a little church in your house, I guess. But instead of prayin’ to God, they’re lookin’ at them cards and tryin’ to figure out their lives. To each their own, I say.
And speakin’ of houses, I seen some folks hangin’ them tapestries up on the wall, big as you please. Makes the place look kinda fancy, I guess. And if you get tired of lookin’ at it on the wall, you can always throw it on the table or the floor. Versatile, that’s what they call it.
There’s all kinds of purdy pictures they put on them things.
You can get ’em with all sorts of designs. Some got them regular tarot card pictures, like The Sun, The Moon, The Star. And some got all sorts of other stuff, like flowers and animals and what not. It all depends on what you like, I reckon.
And the colors! My goodness, the colors. Some are bright and bold, and some are soft and muted. You can get one to match any room in your house, I betcha.
But what about makin’ the place feel all magical like?
Well, that’s the whole point, ain’t it? You hang up one of them tapestries, and it’s like you’re bringin’ a little bit of mystery and enchantment into your home. It’s like you’re sayin’, “Hey, there’s more to this world than what you see with your own two eyes.”
And maybe that’s true. Maybe there is more to this world than we know. And maybe them tarot cards and tapestries, they got somethin’ to do with it. I don’t know for sure, but it sure is somethin’ to think about, ain’t it?
So, if you’re lookin’ for a way to add a little somethin’ somethin’ to your home, somethin’ that’s a little bit different, a little bit mysterious, then maybe a tarot tapestry is just what you need. But don’t go askin’ me to read your fortune, ’cause I ain’t got a clue how to do that. I’m just tellin’ ya what I heard.
