Alright, so I decided to check out one of those online Celtic Cross tarot readings the other day. Been curious about how these digital versions stack up, you know, compared to actually shuffling a deck myself.
First thing, I just opened up my browser and started searching. Typed in something simple like “celtic cross tarot online free”. A bunch of sites popped up, naturally. I clicked around a few of them. Some looked a bit too flashy, others wanted me to sign up for stuff right away, which I wasn’t keen on. I just wanted a straightforward reading, no fuss.
Eventually, I landed on a site that looked pretty plain and simple. Didn’t ask for my email address upfront, which was a plus. It just had an option to start a Celtic Cross reading.
Getting Started
So, I clicked the button. The site asked me to think about a question or situation. I didn’t have anything super specific burning in my mind, more like a general “what’s the vibe right now?” kind of feeling. I took a moment, cleared my head as best I could, just focused on being open to whatever came up.
Then I clicked the next button, something like “Shuffle and Deal Cards”. There was a little animation, like cards shuffling digitally, and then ten cards appeared on the screen, laid out in the Celtic Cross pattern. It was pretty instant.
Looking at the Spread
The interface showed the ten positions clearly labeled – Present Situation, Obstacles, Past Influences, Near Future, and all that. You could click on each card individually.
Going Through Each Card:
- I started with the first card, the one covering the present. Clicked it, and a little pop-up or section appeared with the card image and a description of its meaning in that specific position.
- I did this for all ten cards, one by one. Read the interpretation the website provided for each card in its spot.
- Some descriptions felt surprisingly spot-on, made me nod a bit. Others felt a bit vague or generic, could apply to almost anything. That’s kinda how these things go sometimes, right?
- I paid attention to the card representing the ‘Outcome’. Always curious about that one.
Putting It Together
After clicking through all ten cards and reading their individual meanings, I tried to look at the whole picture. How did the ‘Past’ card connect to the ‘Present’? Did the ‘Obstacle’ card make sense with the ‘Hopes and Fears’ card? I mentally tried to weave the different interpretations together to see if a coherent story emerged.
It wasn’t like a huge revelation dropped from the sky or anything. But it did give me a few things to think about. Some card combinations highlighted stuff I was maybe subconsciously aware of but hadn’t put into words. It was interesting to see it laid out visually like that, even on a screen.
I spent maybe 15-20 minutes total, from finding the site to pondering the reading. Didn’t take any notes this time, just let it sink in.
Final Thoughts on the Online Thing
So, yeah, that was my little experiment with an online Celtic Cross reading. It was convenient, definitely faster than getting out my own deck and guide book. Easy to access anytime.
Was it as good as a reading with physical cards? Eh, it feels different. There’s something about handling the cards yourself, you know? But for a quick check-in or just to satisfy curiosity, the online version wasn’t bad. It worked, technically. It gave me a reading based on the standard positions and card meanings. Would I do it again? Probably, yeah, if I just wanted a quick digital perspective without much fuss. It’s another tool, I suppose.
