Alright, let’s talk about these here Celtic tarot cards. Don’t know much about fancy stuff, but I know what I see and what I feel, ya know?
So, this “Celtic Cross” thing, that’s what they call it. It’s like, the main way folks use these cards. Like, the most popular one, they say. I seen it done lots of times. It ain’t just some newfangled thing neither, been around for ages, over a hundred years they tell me. More than my old bones, that’s for sure!
First off, they lay out the cards in a special way, a cross kinda shape. It’s important, they say, each spot means somethin’ different. Let me see if I can remember…
- The first card, that’s like, what’s happenin’ now, right this minute. And how you’re feelin’ inside, you know, your head and heart stuff.
- The second card, that’s the problem, the thing you gotta deal with. Like, what’s buggin’ ya. They got fancy names for these cards, like “High Priestess” and such. Don’t pay that no mind, just look at the picture, what it makes you feel.
- Then there’s the third card… Now, where does that one go again? Oh yeah, it’s kinda on the bottom, see? That’s the past, what’s already happened and what brought you to this point. You know, like when you’re baking a cake, you gotta start with the flour and eggs, that kinda thing. This card is the flour and eggs of your problem.
This here Cross thing, it ain’t just for lookin’ at the now, mind you. It tells you about the past, the present, and even what might be comin’ down the road. Like lookin’ in a crystal ball, only with pictures instead. You can ask about love, work, money, anything really. If you got a big decision to make, it can help you see things clearer, they say.
Some of them cards is easy to figure out. You see a happy picture, that’s good. You see a sad picture, that ain’t so good. But some of them, they ain’t so clear. Like that ninth card, they call it the “hopes and fears” card. That one’s tricky, cause sometimes what you hope for and what you’re scared of, they kinda the same thing, you know? Like hopin’ you’ll find love, but fearin’ you’ll get your heart broke again. It’s like a double-edged sword, that one is.
Now, don’t go thinkin’ this is some kinda magic, though. It ain’t gonna make your troubles disappear all by itself. It’s more like… a mirror, I guess. It shows you what’s already there, inside of you, or around you. It just helps you see it better, so you can figure out what to do next.
And listen, don’t get all hung up on doin’ it perfect. Even them folks who do it all the time, they still learnin’. Just start simple, with the past, present, future thing. That’s a good way to get the hang of it. And don’t be afraid to trust your gut. If a card makes you feel a certain way, go with it. That’s what matters, what it means to you. They have books and guides and all that, but at the end of the day, it’s your own feelin’s that count.
And hey, if you don’t understand somethin’, that’s alright too. Nobody understands everything, not even them smarty-pants city folks. Just keep lookin’, keep thinkin’, and it’ll come to ya, sooner or later. It’s like plantin’ a seed, gotta give it time to grow. Same with these here cards, gotta give ‘em time to show you their secrets.
So there you have it, my two cents on these Celtic cards. Not much, maybe, but it’s honest. Take it or leave it, it’s up to you. Just remember, it’s all about lookin’ inside yourself, figurin’ things out, and makin’ your own path. That’s the real magic, ain’t it?
Now, go on, get yourself a deck of cards and give it a try. What’s the worst that could happen? You might just surprise yourself with what you see.
