Okay, here’s my blog post about my “Pages in Tarot” practice:
So, I’ve been messing around with Tarot cards for a while now, and the court cards, especially the Pages, always gave me a bit of a headache. I mean, they’re all about new beginnings and potential, but how do you really get that in a reading? So, I decided to do a deep dive and, you know, actually use them.
My Little Experiment
I decided to focus just on the Pages for a whole week. I figured, immersion is the best way to learn, right? Here’s how it went down:
- Pulled a Page every morning: I shuffled my trusty Rider-Waite deck and pulled one Page each morning. No specific question, just “What’s the Page vibe for today?”
- Journaled like crazy: I grabbed my notebook and really thought about the card. What did the imagery make me feel? What did I already “know” about that Page? I wrote down whatever came to mind, stream-of-consciousness style.
- Looked for it in my day: This was the key part. I actively tried to see how that Page’s energy showed up in my day. Did I start a new project? Did I have a fresh idea? Did I approach something with a beginner’s mind?
- Reflected at night: Before bed, I’d look back at my day and my morning notes. Did the Page make sense in retrospect? Did I miss anything? I wrote down any “aha!” moments.
What I Actually Did
Okay, let me give you a couple of concrete examples. One day, I pulled the Page of Cups. Now, this Page is all dreamy and emotional, right? In my journal, I wrote about being open to new feelings, maybe a new creative project, or even just being more receptive to the people around me.
And guess what? That day, I ended up having a really heartfelt conversation with a friend I hadn’t connected with in ages. We talked about some deep stuff, and it felt like a totally fresh start in our friendship. Totally Page of Cups!
Another day, I got the Page of Swords. This one’s all about new ideas, mental clarity, and being a bit of a curious learner. I jotted down things like “pay attention to details” and “be open to new information.”
That day, I was trying to fix a wonky gadget, and instead of getting frustrated (my usual move), I actually took a deep breath and approached it like a puzzle. I read the manual carefully (who does that?!), and boom, I figured it out! It felt like I was using my brain in a totally new way.
The Big Takeaway
After a week of this, I realized that the Pages aren’t just abstract concepts. They’re about those little moments in everyday life where you’re starting something new, learning something, or seeing things from a fresh * is like when you face the feeling about the world,the Pages’s engergy is tiny but it is also fresh start.
It’s not about grand gestures; it’s about the small shifts. And by actively looking for those shifts, I felt way more connected to the cards and, honestly, to my own *, yeah, my Page experiment was a definite win. It showed me that sometimes, the best way to learn is just to jump in and do the thing!
