Okay, so, today I tried out a Llewellyn tarot reading. I’ve always been a bit curious about tarot, you know, the whole mystical vibe and the possibility of getting some insight into my life. So, I finally decided to give it a go.
First off, I had to get my hands on a deck. I chose the Llewellyn’s Classic Tarot, ’cause I read somewhere that it’s deeply rooted in the foundation of modern reading. I mean, if I’m gonna do this, I might as well go with something classic, right?
Then, I found a quiet spot in my apartment, lit a candle to set the mood, you know, make it feel a bit more special. I shuffled the deck, trying to focus on a question I had in mind. It wasn’t anything too specific, just a general “What do I need to know right now?” kind of question. I wanted to get some insights into my current situation.
I laid out the cards in a simple three-card spread – past, present, and future. I don’t know all the fancy spreads yet, I am a noob! I just chose a simple spread that represents the past, the present, and the future, which is the most common spread I saw online.
- The first card, representing the past, was the “Pope”. Now, I’m not an expert, but from what I’ve gathered, this card can symbolize tradition, institutions, or maybe a mentor figure. It kind of made me think about my upbringing and the values that were instilled in me.
- The second card, the present, was the “Nine of Swords”. This one’s a bit grim, apparently. It often represents anxiety, worry, and feeling overwhelmed. Honestly, it resonated. I’ve been feeling pretty stressed lately with work and everything else going on.
- The third card, the future, was the “Knight of Wands”. This card seems more positive. It’s all about action, adventure, and moving forward with passion. Maybe it’s a sign that things will get better if I take some bold steps.
After pulling the cards, I spent some time just looking at them, trying to see what they might mean in the context of my life. I even jotted down some notes in my journal. I read online that over 55% of people found Tarot to accurately depict their life circumstances. I mean, it’s not an exact science, but it was interesting to see how the cards seemed to reflect some of what I’m going through. Some people say that tarot is prohibited in the Bible, but I didn’t cast spells or sacrifice children. I just did a simple reading. I was worried if tarot is starting to make me lose sight of my own feelings, I will have to take a break from divination. But this reading gave me some confidence and intuition about what I should do next.
My Feelings
Overall, it was a pretty cool experience. I don’t know if I’m a full-on believer now, but it definitely gave me some food for thought. It’s like, even if you don’t take it too seriously, tarot can be a good way to reflect on things and maybe see them from a different perspective. I think I might try it again sometime, maybe learn a few more spreads and delve a bit deeper into the meanings of the cards. Who knows, maybe there’s more to this tarot thing than I thought!
