Okay, so today I decided to dive into the world of Tarot cards. I’ve always been curious about them, but never really took the time to understand what each card means. So, I thought, “Why not today?” I grabbed my deck and got started.
Getting Started
First things first, I cleared my space. I wanted a calm and focused environment, so I lit a candle, put on some chill music, and made sure my desk was tidy. I felt like this was important to really connect with the cards.
Then, I shuffled the deck while thinking about a general question I had about my life. I didn’t focus on anything too specific, just a broad “What do I need to know right now?” kind of vibe. It took me a while before I start pulling out the card.
The Major Arcana
I decided to focus on the Major Arcana first, because, well, they’re the “major” players, right? They represent big life lessons, karmic influences, and major archetypes. I laid out all 22 Major Arcana cards and just started looking at them, one by one.
- The Fool: New beginnings, innocence, taking a leap of faith. I stared at the image of the Fool stepping off a cliff, and it really resonated with some of the decisions I’m facing right now.
- The Magician: Manifestation, resourcefulness, power. This one felt empowering, like a reminder that I have the tools I need to achieve my goals.
- The High Priestess: Intuition, subconscious, mystery. This card reminded me to trust my gut feelings more.
I went through each card like this, reading the basic meanings online and then letting my intuition guide me. Some cards just “spoke” to me more than others. For example, The Lovers card had me thinking about the balance, relationship with my family.
Digging Deeper
After getting a feel for the Major Arcana, I decided to do a simple three-card spread: Past, Present, and Future. I shuffled again, focused on my general question, and pulled three cards.
Past: The Chariot. Made with some big moves, felt in control.
Present: Wheel of Fortune: Change is happening, and It is a lot to navigate.
Future: The Star. Hope on the horizon, good time is comming!
Wrapping Up
By the end of my session, I felt like I had a much better understanding of the Major Arcana. It wasn’t about predicting the future, but more about gaining insight into myself and my current situation. It’s definitely something I’ll keep exploring!
