Okay, so I’ve been seeing these “free 32 card tarot readings” popping up all over the place, and I was like, “Why not? Let’s give this a whirl.” I’m a total newbie to tarot, so I figured this would be a fun little experiment.
First, I cleared a space on my desk. I mean, I literally just shoved everything aside. Gotta have a clean area for the vibes, right? Then, I lit a candle. Not because I’m super spiritual or anything, but it just felt… right. It made the whole thing feel a bit more official.
Next, I grabbed my deck. It’s a standard Rider-Waite deck I picked up a while back. Haven’t really used it much, to be honest.
I spent a good few minutes just shuffling the cards. I wanted to get my energy into them, I guess? I wasn’t really following any specific shuffling method, just kind of doing what felt natural. Then, I cut the deck into three piles, and then put them back into one.
The Spread
I’m following a specific 32 card spread that is easy to follow. I laid out the cards, face * looked pretty intimidating, all those cards staring back at me.
I started flipping the cards over, one by one.I have to admit, it was a little nerve-wracking. I had this general question in mind about my career, nothing too specific. As I turned over each card, I tried to connect with the imagery.
Honestly, some of it was confusing. The cards were displaying: The Lovers, Strength, The Chariot, a lot of swords and cups…I’m not gonna lie, I had to Google a few of them to get a better sense of what they might mean. I scribbled down some notes as I went, jotting down keywords and my initial impressions.
Making Sense of it All
After I turned over all the cards and did a bit of quick research, I sat back and tried to piece everything together. It took some time. I went back and forth between the cards, looking for connections and patterns.
Slowly, a narrative started to emerge. It wasn’t super clear-cut, but there were some definite themes:
- Challenges: There were a few cards that definitely pointed to some obstacles ahead.
- Strength: But there were also cards that showed my inner resilience.
- Choice:It felt like a choice needs to be made.
It was a lot to process. I didn’t get any concrete answers, like “You’ll get a promotion in three months!” But it did give me some food for thought. It highlighted some areas I need to focus on, and it actually made me feel a little more empowered to take action.
Overall, it was a pretty cool experience. Would I do it again? Yeah, probably. It was a fun way to spend an afternoon, and it definitely sparked my curiosity about tarot even * got me thinking, and it helped me look at my situation from a different perspective.
