Well now, let’s talk about these deacon tarot cards, or whatever them fancy folks call ’em. I ain’t no scholar, mind you, just a plain ol’ body tryin’ to make sense of things.
First off, they say these cards got somethin’ to do with them signs. You know, like the ones up in the sky? Apparently, each sign is split into three parts, like a pie cut into thirds. And each of them pieces got a boss, some kinda planetary ruler, they call it. Sounds like a whole lotta fuss if you ask me.
Now, they tell ya not to go messin’ with these cards if you’re feelin’ all riled up. Don’t be angry, or jealous, or none of that. Makes sense, I guess. You wouldn’t wanna go plowin’ the field when you’re mad as a hornet, would ya? Same kinda thing. And don’t be drinkin’ that moonshine neither while you’re doin’ it. Gotta keep a clear head, they say. Seems like common sense to me, but I guess some folks need to be told.
There’s this one deck, the Rider-Waite, that everyone seems to be gaga over. Says it’s the best, the gold standard, even that fancy magazine, Cosmopolitan, likes it. Who am I to argue? If it works, it works. Though I reckon any deck’ll do if you know what you’re lookin’ at.
Everybody’s got their own way of connectin’ with these cards, or so I hear. Some folks just look at ’em and things pop into their head. Others gotta read a whole book about it. Me? I just try to listen to my gut. It ain’t always right, but it’s all I got.
- Figure out what them cards mean. Each one’s got a picture, and that picture’s supposed to tell ya somethin’. Kinda like lookin’ at the clouds, only with more rules.
- Learn about them elements. Fire, water, earth, air… It’s like farmin’, see? You gotta know what goes with what. Can’t plant corn in a pond, can ya?
So, if you’re lookin’ to use tarot cards for self-discovery, or whatever fancy term they use, here’s what I reckon you should do. Start slow. Don’t try to figure everything out all at once. It’s like learnin’ to bake a pie. You gotta start with the crust, then the fillin’, then put it all together. And don’t be afraid to mess up. Everybody messes up sometimes.
And another thing, don’t go thinkin’ these cards can tell ya the future. They ain’t magic, you know. They’re just tools, like a shovel or a hoe. They can help ya dig up stuff, but they ain’t gonna do the work for ya. You gotta be willin’ to put in the effort. You gotta be willin’ to look inside yourself and see what’s really there. That ain’t always easy, but it’s worth it in the end. At least that’s what I’ve heard from those who know.
So, there you have it. My two cents on them deacon tarot cards. Take it or leave it. I ain’t no expert, just a plain ol’ body sharin’ what I know. And remember, the most important thing is to trust yourself. Don’t let nobody tell you what to think or what to believe. You gotta figure that out for yourself. That’s the real trick to life.
And one more thing before I go. Don’t be gettin’ all hung up on the fancy words and the complicated rules. Just try to keep it simple. Just try to listen to your heart. That’s all that really matters.
Practical steps you can take? Well, get yourself a deck and start lookin’ at the pictures. Try to figure out what they mean to you. And don’t be afraid to ask for help. There’s plenty of folks out there who know more about this stuff than I do. But at the end of the day, it’s your journey. It’s your path. You gotta walk it yourself.
And if you’re still feelin’ lost, well, just remember what my old pappy used to say: “When in doubt, go back to basics.” And in this case, the basics is just lookin’ and listenin’ and trustin’ your gut. That’s all there is to it. Now, go on and get started. And don’t forget to have fun with it! Life’s too short to be serious all the time.
