Okay, so today I decided to mess around with tarot cards, specifically pulling just one card to see what’s up. I’ve dabbled in tarot before, but I’m no expert, more like a curious newbie. I find it can be a fun way to mess with and practice.
First, I grabbed my deck. It’s a pretty standard Rider-Waite deck, nothing fancy. I like the imagery on it, it feels classic and easy to understand, even for a beginner like me.
Before pulling a card, I shuffled the deck for a good while. I don’t have a specific shuffling technique, I just kind of mix them up until it feels right. Some people are super serious about how they shuffle, but I’m more casual about it.
While shuffling, I tried to clear my mind. I wasn’t focusing on any specific question today, I just wanted to see what the general vibe was. Kind of like a “what’s the message of the day” sort of thing. I’ve found that when I overthink it, I get all tangled up, so I just try to be chill.
Once I felt like the cards were good and mixed, I cut the deck into three piles, then put them back together in a different order. Again, not sure if this is the “correct” way, but it’s what I do. It feels like I’m adding my own little touch to the process.
Then, the moment of truth! I fanned the cards out face down on my table and hovered my hand over them. I closed my eyes for a second and just tried to feel if any particular card was calling out to me. I know it sounds a little woo-woo, but hey, that’s part of the fun, right?
My fingers landed on a card, and I flipped it over. It was the Ten of Swords. Yikes! That’s a pretty intense card. It usually represents endings, hitting rock bottom, and feeling defeated. Not exactly the sunshine and rainbows I was hoping for.
My Interpretation
- Endings:Could be a sign that something in my life is coming to a close. Might be a project, a relationship, or even just a phase of life.
- Rock Bottom: This is the scary * suggested I might be going through a tough time, or about to.
- Feeling Defeated:Yeah, this resonates.I am feeling worn down by a few things lately.
But, I also know that the Ten of Swords isn’t all doom and gloom. It can also mean that the worst is over, and things can only get better from here. It’s like, you’ve hit the bottom, now you can start climbing back up. It might be that I needed to see and keep an eye on.
So, even though it’s a seemingly negative card, I’m trying to see the positive side. Maybe it’s a reminder to let go of things that aren’t serving me, or to acknowledge that it’s okay to feel down sometimes. It’s all part of the journey, I guess.
Overall, it was an interesting little experiment. I like that doing a single card pull is quick and easy, but can still give you something to think about. I’ll probably do this again, maybe tomorrow, just to see what other messages the cards have for me.
