Okay, so I found myself with a bit of downtime the other day, just browsing around, clicking things. You know how it goes. Ended up stumbling upon one of those websites offering a free tarot reading. Specifically, a 3-card spread. Never really put much stock in this stuff, but hey, it was free, and I was curious to see what the process was like.
So, I clicked on the thing. The site asked me to think about a question, or just be open. I didn’t really have a burning question, was more interested in the mechanics of it. I clicked a button that said something like ‘Shuffle’ or ‘Draw Cards’. There was a little animation, cards flipping over, felt a bit like a game.
Then, three cards showed up on the screen. I think they were laid out in a line. Let’s see if I remember…
- The first one was something about Justice, looked very official, a woman with scales.
- The middle one, I think it was the Five of Cups? Looked a bit gloomy, someone looking at spilled cups.
- The last one was The Sun. Big, bright, cheerful looking card.
Below each card, the website automatically popped up some text. For Justice, it talked about fairness, decisions, karma from the past. For the Five of Cups, it mentioned disappointment, focusing on loss, what’s going wrong right now. And for The Sun, it was all about optimism, success, positivity for the future.
My Thoughts on It
Honestly? It was pretty generic stuff. You could probably apply those descriptions to almost anyone’s life at some point. The ‘past’ card talks about cause and effect, the ‘present’ card talks about some kind of struggle or regret (who doesn’t have that?), and the ‘future’ card offers hope. Standard template, really.
It kind of reminded me of something else entirely, actually. Years ago, I was trying to fix a leaky faucet in the kitchen. Drove me nuts. I watched maybe five different videos online telling me how to do it. Each one had a slightly different theory, different tools they swore by. One guy said replace the whole cartridge, another said just an O-ring, another blamed the valve seat. Sounded complicated, just like trying to piece together some deep meaning from these cards.
In the end, for the faucet, turned out the aerator was just clogged with some grit. Unscrewed it, rinsed it, put it back. Fixed. Took two minutes. Sometimes we look for these complex answers or external signs, whether it’s from online videos or digital tarot cards.
So, this free 3-card reading thing? It was an interesting little diversion for five minutes. Didn’t cost anything. The process was simple: click, click, read. But did it give me profound insights? Nah. It mostly just gave me back some very general ideas that made me think about how easily we can find patterns or meaning if we’re looking for them. It was like getting a fortune cookie message – vaguely positive or cautionary, take it or leave it.
My takeaway? It’s a harmless bit of online entertainment. Fun to click through the process. But definitely not something I’d use to make any real decisions. Better off figuring out if you just need to clean the aerator, so to speak.
