Okay, so, the other day I got it into my head to mess around with this “Cosmic Tarot” thing. I’d heard about it somewhere, maybe on a forum, and it sounded kinda neat. I’m not really into the whole mystical side of tarot, but I do like the artwork and the idea of using it for some creative brainstorming.
So, first thing I did was look for a Cosmic Tarot deck * did take me a while to find the cards I want.
Then I spent some time just looking at the cards, the illustrations are very unique.
After getting a feel for the cards, I decided to try a simple three-card spread. I didn’t have any specific question in mind, just wanted to see what would come up. I shuffled the deck, focused on, well, nothing in particular, and drew three cards.
- The first cardThe card seems indicate something from the past.
- The second card:This represents my current situation.
- The third card:And it points to something for the future.
I spent a good amount of time just sitting with the cards, looking at the imagery, and letting my mind * really gave me a new idea that I haven’t thought about before.
I wrote down some of the thoughts and feelings that came up in my * structured, just free-flowing ideas and associations. For example, the appearance of a certain card sparked a memory of a conversation I had with a friend a few weeks ago, and I suddenly saw that conversation in a new light.
Honestly, the whole experience was surprisingly productive. I didn’t get any earth-shattering revelations, but I did come away with some fresh perspectives and a few new ideas to explore.I can see how this could be a useful tool for getting unstuck creatively or just for exploring different aspects of a situation. I’ll definitely be trying this again!
