Okay, so today I felt like doing a tarot reading. Things felt a bit jumbled up in my head, you know? Needed to kind of untangle my thoughts a bit. So, I decided to sit down and actually do it.
First thing, I grabbed my go-to deck. It’s kinda worn, feels right in my hands. Found my usual quiet corner, away from the noise. Didn’t do anything fancy, just sat there for a minute, took a few deep breaths. Cleared my head space, sort of.
Then, the shuffling. This is my favorite part. I just shuffled the cards, over and over. Not really counting, just shuffling until it felt like, yeah, that’s enough. You kind of get a feeling, like the cards are ready.
I wasn’t asking anything super heavy. Just wanted a general vibe check, like “What energy should I be aware of right now?” Kept that thought in my mind while shuffling.
After shuffling till my hands felt done, I cut the deck. I usually split it into three piles, then stack ’em back together in whatever order feels right at that moment. No big science to it, just intuition I guess.
Pulling the Cards
I decided on a simple three-card pull. Easy peasy. Laid them out face down first. Then flipped them over one by one.
- Card 1: Flipped it. Looked at the picture. Tried not to jump to the ‘book meaning’. Just, what did I see? What feeling came up first? Okay, noted.
- Card 2: Flipped the second one. Same deal. Looked at the image, the colors, what it seemed to be saying just visually. How it felt next to the first card.
- Card 3: Flipped the last one. This one often feels like the wrap-up. Looked at it, then looked at all three together. How do they connect? What’s the story here for me, right now?
It wasn’t like some huge revelation hit me. More like small nudges. Seeing the three cards together, it gave me a perspective I hadn’t quite considered. Little things clicked, connected to what’s been going on lately.
Then, the wrap-up. I grabbed my notebook. Always good to write stuff down, otherwise I forget. Jotted down the date, the simple question I had, the three cards I pulled, and a few messy notes about what I thought they meant in that moment. My gut feelings, really.
Put the cards back together, put the deck away. Felt a bit clearer afterwards. Not like magic, but just calmer. Like I’d had a quiet conversation with myself and got some things straightened out. Yeah, that was my practice for today.
