Alright, buckle up, because I’m about to spill the beans on my little tarot experiment: the “1 card tarot free” thing I’ve been messing with.
So, it all started when I was doom-scrolling (like you do), and I kept seeing these ads for free tarot readings. Now, I’m not usually one for that kinda stuff, but I was feeling kinda blah, and thought, “Hey, why not?” But, I didn’t want to get sucked into some sketchy website asking for my credit card deets. So I decided to do it myself, for free.
First things first, I dug out my old tarot deck. I haven’t touched it in ages – probably since college. It was dusty, and the box was falling apart, but the cards themselves were still in pretty good shape. I gave them a good shuffle, trying to remember what little I knew about the “proper” way to do it.
Next, I had to figure out what question to ask. This is where I always get stuck. I mean, what do you even ask a tarot card? I finally decided to go with something simple: “What do I need to focus on today?” Seemed vague enough to be useful, but not so specific that I’d be disappointed if the card didn’t make any sense.
Alright, here’s the kicker. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and pulled a card. Just one. No fancy spreads or anything. It was the Three of Swords. Ouch. Not exactly the positive vibes I was hoping for.
My initial reaction was, “Great, heartbreak. Just what I needed.” But then I took a step back and actually tried to think about what the card might actually mean in my current situation. Instead of literal heartbreak, I started thinking about disappointment, difficult truths, and maybe even cutting ties with something that wasn’t serving me anymore.
- Took a break from social media – I realized I was just mindlessly scrolling and comparing myself to everyone else, and it was making me feel awful.
- Actually addressed a nagging issue at work – I’d been avoiding a difficult conversation with a colleague, but the card gave me the push I needed to just get it over with.
- Let go of a project I was holding onto out of obligation – It wasn’t bringing me any joy, and I realized I was just doing it because I felt like I had to.
It wasn’t a magic fix, obviously. But it did force me to confront some things I’d been avoiding. And honestly, that’s kinda the point, right? It’s not about predicting the future; it’s about reflecting on the present.
So, what’s the verdict?
Was my “1 card tarot free” experiment a success? I think so. It didn’t cost me anything but a few minutes of my time, and it gave me some surprisingly helpful insights. I’m not gonna run out and become a professional tarot reader or anything, but I might just keep this little practice up. It’s a nice way to check in with myself and get a little perspective when I’m feeling lost.
