Okay, so I decided to mess around with tarot cards a bit, specifically focusing on the whole ‘Lovers’ card thing. Heard a lot about it, you know? People always talking relationships and tarot.
Getting Started with the Cards
First off, I had to actually get a deck. Went online, browsed around, found one with art I didn’t hate. Some decks are way too weird looking, honestly. This one seemed okay. When it arrived, I opened it up. Lots of cards, obviously. More than I thought, felt kinda heavy.
I spent some time just looking through them. Pulled out the Major Arcana ones, found The Lovers card pretty quick. The picture was kinda nice, actually. Two people, an angel maybe? Looked peaceful, but also like a big decision was happening. Stuck that image in my head.
Trying a Simple Reading
Alright, time to actually do something. Didn’t want to get all complicated with huge spreads I saw online. That stuff looked like homework. Nah, I just wanted to see what the vibe was around relationships in my life right now. Simple question.
So, I held the deck. Tried to clear my head, which is harder than it sounds. Just focused on that relationship question. Then I started shuffling. Felt a bit silly doing it, shuffling these picture cards. Did it for a while, trying to feel ‘right’.
Then, the moment of truth. I cut the deck, just like I saw someone do once, and pulled one card off the top.
The Pull and What I Thought
Guess what? Pulled The Lovers. Seriously. First try on this specific question. Felt a little jolt, like static electricity. Weird.
I just stared at the card for a bit. Didn’t grab the little white book that came with the deck yet. Just looked at the picture again. What did I think? Well, it screamed ‘connection’, obviously. But also ‘choice’. Like, relationships aren’t just things that happen to you, you gotta choose ’em, work at ’em. Felt like it was about harmony, getting on the same page.
After soaking that in, I did peek at the booklet. It mentioned similar stuff: harmony, choices, values, relationships. Nothing too earth-shattering, but it lined up with my gut feeling.
Final Thoughts on the Process
So, what did I get out of it?
- Shuffling is awkward at first. Felt clumsy.
- Pulling the specific card felt significant. Coincidence? Maybe. But it made me pause.
- It’s more about thinking. The Lovers card didn’t give me a magic answer. It just made me think about connections and choices in a different way. Like holding up a mirror.
Overall, it was an interesting little exercise. Didn’t predict my future soulmate or anything. But using the Lovers card like that, focusing on it, gave me a moment to reflect. Might try it again sometime, see what happens. It’s less mystical than I thought, more like a tool for poking your own brain.
