Okay, so I got into this whole tarot thing recently, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. Today, I decided to pull a single card just to see what the vibe was, and boom – The Tower. My initial reaction? “Oh, crap.”
I mean, The Tower, you know? It’s not exactly the card of sunshine and rainbows. It’s usually depicted as this, like, massive structure getting struck by lightning and people are falling out. Pretty intense.
So, first, I grabbed my deck – it’s a pretty standard Rider-Waite deck. I shuffled the cards a few times, trying to clear my head and just focus on the present moment. I’m not gonna lie, I was feeling a little anxious, because, you know, The Tower. Then, I fanned out the cards facedown on my table.
I took a deep breath, and flipped over the top card. Yep, The Tower. Staring right at me.
My Little Recording Process
- First, I immediately grabbed my notebook and jotted down the date and time. Gotta keep track of this stuff, right?
- Then, I wrote down my initial gut reaction. Pure, unadulterated panic, mostly. I wrote something like, “Feeling a sense of impending doom, what’s about to collapse?!”
- Next, I started to really look at the card. I noticed the flames, the falling figures, the dark clouds. I wrote down all the details I could see.
- After that, I consulted a couple of my tarot books. I have this one that’s super in-depth, and another that’s more of a quick reference guide. I wanted to see what the “official” interpretations were.
- I scribbled down some keywords from the books: “sudden change,” “upheaval,” “destruction,” “revelation.” Fun stuff.
But here’s the thing – after the initial shock, I started to think about it differently. The Tower isn’t always bad, right? It can also mean breaking down old structures that aren’t serving you anymore. It can be about clearing the way for something new, even if it’s painful in the process.
So, I added some more notes to my journal. I asked myself, “What in my life feels shaky right now? What needs to change, even if I’m resisting it?” I did some serious soul-searching, and let me tell you, some uncomfortable truths started to surface.
I’m still processing it all, to be honest. The Tower is a powerful card, and it definitely stirred things up for me. But I’m trying to see it as an opportunity for growth, a chance to rebuild on a stronger foundation. It’s a work in progress, for sure.
