Alright, folks, gather ’round! I’ve got a story for ya – a tale of how I got my tarot cards read right here in the windy city, Chicago. It’s a bit out there, I know, but hey, life’s a trip, right?
It all started when I was just wandering around, you know, doing the usual touristy stuff. Then, bam! I stumbled upon this little shop tucked away in a quiet street. The sign outside said something like “Mystical Readings” and, well, my curiosity got the better of me. I had to check it out.
I pushed open the door, a little bell jingled, and the smell of incense hit me. It was like stepping into another world. There were crystals everywhere, books on astrology, and in the corner, a woman with kind eyes and a warm smile sitting behind a table covered in a velvet cloth.
Now, I’d never had my cards read before. But I figured, why not? When in Chicago, right? So, I sat down, feeling a bit like a fish out of water, and she introduced herself as a tarot reader. She shuffled the deck, a well-worn set of cards with intriguing images, and asked me to cut it.
- She started laying out the cards, face down, in a pattern I later learned was called a spread.
- Then, one by one, she flipped them over, explaining what each card meant.
- I remember seeing The Fool – she said it was about new beginnings, which, honestly, resonated with me.
She talked about my past, my present, and offered some insights into my future. Some of it was pretty general, like “you’re going to face some challenges,” but other bits were oddly specific. It was a bit spooky, not gonna lie, but in a fun way, you know?
The whole thing lasted maybe 20, 30 minutes? I don’t really know I didn’t check my watch. Time felt different in there. When we were done, I thanked her, paid a reasonable fee, and stepped back out into the bustling Chicago streets.
Did it change my life? Well, I wouldn’t go that far. But it definitely gave me something to think about. It’s like, even if you don’t fully believe in this stuff, it’s interesting to hear a different perspective on your life, you know? It opens up new possibilities in your mind. It’s a bit like when you get good advice from friends.
So, yeah, that’s my Chicago tarot reading story. If you’re ever in town and feeling a little adventurous, maybe give it a shot. It’s definitely a unique experience, and who knows, you might even learn something about yourself. As for me, I walked away feeling a little more connected to the universe, a little more open to the unknown. And hey, that’s not a bad way to feel, right?
