Okay, so today I decided to mess around with tarot cards, specifically focusing on the 10 of Hearts. I’ve always been a little curious about tarot, but never really gave it a serious try. So, I figured, why not? Let’s dive in!
Getting Started
First things first, I needed a deck. I grabbed my dusty old Rider-Waite deck that I’ve had forever, don’t think I’ve used it more than a couple times. Then, I cleared a little space on my kitchen table – gotta have a good workspace, right? I even lit a candle, just to set the mood, you know, make it feel a bit more… mystical.
The Shuffle and Draw
I started by shuffling the cards. And man, I shuffled them good. I wanted to make sure everything was nice and mixed up. I used a few different shuffling techniques I read about before, like the riffle and the overhand, mixing them together like a real card shark, or at least I pretended to be. I kept thinking about my intention for the read. Next I focused on getting some clearity from the 10 of hearts. I don’t have any particular heavy questions, but I’m generally curiou what the cards could tell me.
After shuffling what felt like a million times, I cut the deck into three piles and then put them back into one. Then, with a deep breath, I drew the top card.

And guess what? It wasn’t the 10 of Hearts. Classic.
Attempt Two, Three, and Onward
So, I shuffled again. And again. And again. It took me, no joke, like five or six tries before I finally pulled the 10 of Hearts. I’m starting to feel like the cards are messing with me at this point. Talk about learning patience. Finally, after a whole bunch of tries, I drew the 10 of Hearts. Finally!
Looking at the Card
Now, with the 10 of Hearts finally in front of me, I took a good, long look. I mean, I really looked at it. The picture shows a happy family, a rainbow, a nice home. Seemed pretty straightforward, I guess. The card, at least in this deck, it’s all about happiness, contentment, and good family vibes.
My Takeaway
So, what did I learn from this little experiment? Honestly, it was more about the process than any big, earth-shattering revelation.
It was fun to just slow down, focus on something simple, and maybe, just maybe, tap into something a little bit… different.
It reminds me that sometimes it’s good to take a break, try something new, and not take things too seriously.
And hey, pulling that 10 of Hearts after so many tries? Felt pretty good. Like a small win for the day.
