Okay, so, today I decided to dive into some tarot reading practice. I’ve been feeling a bit stuck lately, like I’m at a crossroads and not sure which way to turn. I thought, why not see what the cards have to say? I chose to focus on the “Judgement” and “Death” cards, yeah, those two. Sounds a little intimidating, but I went for it.
First things first, I got myself comfortable. Cleared my space, lit a candle, you know, the usual setup. Then, I shuffled my deck, focusing on my current situation. I asked the cards: “What do I need to know about the changes happening in my life and the decisions I need to make?” I laid out the cards and bam, there they were, Judgement and Death staring right back at me.
Starting with Death
I started by examining the Death card. Usually, this card freaks people out, but it’s not all doom and gloom. I looked at the imagery, the skeleton on a horse, the people around it. I could feel that this card is not just about endings, it’s about transformation, like shedding old skin. I noted down my immediate thoughts, “Major changes are coming. It’s scary, but also necessary. Something has to end to make way for something new.”
Then, Judgement
Next, I moved to the Judgement card. This one shows an angel blowing a trumpet, and people rising from their graves. I thought about it, and realized it’s about reflection, awakening, making a crucial decision. My notes for this one were, “Time to wake up and see things as they really are. I need to make a big decision, and it’s about evaluating my life and choices up to this point.”
Combining Judgement and Death
- I spent some time just looking at the two cards together. Thinking about how they interact. The Death card bringing an end to something, and Judgement asking me to reflect and make a choice based on that ending. I wrote, “This is a turning point. The end of something is not just an end, it’s a call to action. I need to decide what I want my new beginning to look like.”
- It hit me, this wasn’t just about the cards. This was about my life. I’ve been avoiding making some tough decisions, and these cards were like a wake-up call. I realized I can’t keep running from change. It’s time to face it, learn from the past, and step into a new phase of my life. I spent a while talking this out, really verbalizing my thoughts and feelings.
- After a while, I felt clearer. Not completely sure of what to do next, but definitely more at peace with the idea of change. I thanked the cards, put them away, and blew out the candle. I felt like I had a new perspective. It wasn’t about having all the answers, but about being open to change and ready to make some important decisions.
So, that was my tarot practice for today. It was intense, but really insightful. I’m going to keep reflecting on these cards and their message. I know I have some big choices to make, but I feel more prepared to face them now. This experience reminded me that sometimes, we just need a little nudge to see things clearly and move forward. It’s okay to be scared of change, but it’s also important to embrace it and see it as an opportunity for growth.
