Okay, so today I wanted to mess around with some tarot cards. I’ve always been curious about them, you know? And I figured, why not start with something simple like figuring out the meaning of a single card? I decided to go with the King of Spades.
First, I grabbed my tarot deck. It’s a pretty standard Rider-Waite deck, nothing fancy. I shuffled the cards a few times, just to get a feel for them, and then I pulled out the King of Spades. The card is kind of serious, right? It got me thinking, what does this card means?
I started flipping through the little booklet that came with the deck. Not gonna lie, it was a bit confusing with all the “esoteric” stuff. I mean, I just wanted a simple explanation! The booklet talked about intellectual power, authority, and truth. I did some more research, the more I research, the more I am confused by some complicated words.
- Intellectual Power: This kind of makes sense. Kings are usually seen as wise and all-knowing.
- Authority: Yeah, he’s a king, so that fits.
- Truth: Okay, so maybe he’s about being honest and fair?
Then, I went into this card’s details. What I saw in the card is a man, looks like a king, holding a sword. I guessed the sword might represent the mind or something related to thinking because it is sharp. But I was not sure about that.
After messing around with the card and doing some more reading, I started to get a better picture. It seems like the King of Spades is all about using your head. It’s about being in control, making decisions based on logic and not just emotions. It’s also about being fair and just, like a good leader should be.
I tried to relate this to my own life. Maybe it’s a sign that I need to be more level-headed in a certain situation, you know? Or maybe it’s just a reminder to stay true to myself and what I believe in. In either case, I did learned something about tarot.
My Takeaway
Honestly, it was a fun little exercise. I still don’t really “get” tarot cards, but I think I understand the King of Spades a bit better now. It’s not just some random picture on a card; it actually represents some pretty deep ideas. It just takes a bit of digging to figure it all out. I guess I will keep practicing and see if I can learn more about the other cards too!
Anyways, that was my tarot adventure for the day. Maybe I’ll try a full spread next time and see what kind of crazy stuff comes up. Who knows, maybe I’ll even start believing in this stuff someday, haha!
