Okay, so I’ve been messing around with these Celtic tarot cards lately, and let me tell you, it’s been a real trip. I picked up a deck a few weeks back because, why not? Always up for something new, you know?
First off, I had to actually learn what the heck I was doing. I mean, you can’t just throw these cards down and expect magic to happen. There’s this thing called the Celtic Cross spread, which is like the granddaddy of tarot layouts. It’s got ten cards, each in a specific spot, and they all mean different stuff depending on where they land.
So, I started by shuffling the deck, really focusing on what I wanted to ask. Then, I laid out the cards one by one, following this Celtic Cross pattern I found. It’s a bit like putting together a puzzle. The first card is your current situation, the second is what’s challenging you, and it goes on like that, all the way to the tenth card which is the potential outcome.
- The first few times, I was totally lost. I had my little guidebook open, flipping pages back and forth, trying to figure out what each card meant in its position.
- Then there’s the whole thing about card combinations. Apparently, cards next to each other can influence each other’s meanings. It’s not just about one card at a time; it is about how they are related with each other. That’s the most difficult part to me. It’s like learning a whole new language.
- But, I kept at it. I did a reading for myself every few days, just practicing. And slowly, I started to get a feel for it. It was like the cards were starting to talk to me, in their own weird way.
Now, I wouldn’t say I’m some kind of tarot expert or anything. But I’m definitely getting better at interpreting the readings. For example, I had a reading last week that showed the Tower card in the challenge position. That card is all about upheaval and sudden change, which made sense because I’ve been feeling really unsettled in my job lately. Then, in the outcome position, I got the Sun card, which is super positive, all about joy and success. So, maybe that means that even though things are rough right now, there’s something good on the horizon? It just feels like the cards are reflecting my energy or something, It’s wild!
I recorded all my readings in a journal. I wrote down the date, the question I asked, the cards that came up, and my initial thoughts on what they meant. It’s been really interesting to go back and look at how my readings have evolved over time. And I shared some of my readings with my friend. She is a tarot reader, and I just want to know whether I made some mistakes in my reading. She gave me a lot of useful advice.
It’s still a learning process, for sure. But it’s been a fun and kind of insightful one. It’s like having a little conversation with the universe or something. And who knows, maybe I’ll even get good enough to do readings for other people someday. We’ll see!
