Okay, so, I tried this thing called a “lotus tarot card reading” today, and I gotta share the whole experience. I’ve always been curious about tarot, you know, but never really did it myself. So, I thought, why not give it a shot? It’s supposed to be all about self-discovery and stuff, using the lotus flower symbol, which is pretty cool.
First off, I had to get myself in the right mindset. I lit a candle, not because I’m trying to be all mystical, but it just helped me chill out a bit. I found this quiet spot in my house where I could just focus and not get distracted by, like, my cat or whatever.
Then, I grabbed my tarot deck. I have this one with really pretty artwork. It makes me feel good when I read it. I shuffled the cards a few times, just getting a feel for them. I wasn’t sure if I was doing it right, but I just went with it.
I decided to do a simple three-card spread. I’ve read somewhere online that it’s good for beginners. Basically, one card for the past, one for the present, and one for the future. Simple, right?
- The Past: I pulled the first card, and it was some lady holding a cup. I looked it up in the little booklet that came with the deck, and it talked about emotions and intuition. Okay, I thought, that kind of makes sense. I’ve been dealing with some emotional stuff lately.
- The Present: The next card was this one with a bunch of swords. That booklet said it represents challenges and mental struggles. I mean, yeah, who isn’t dealing with some kind of challenge these days? It felt pretty spot-on.
- The Future: The last card was a happy-looking one, with the sun shining and all. That booklet interpreted as success and good vibes. Well, I sure hope so! That’s definitely what I’m aiming for.
After I pulled the cards, I just sat there for a while, looking at them and thinking about what they might mean for me. It wasn’t like a big “aha!” moment or anything, but it did give me some stuff to chew on. I tried to connect the cards to what’s been going on in my life, you know, like my job, my relationships, and just my general mood lately.
I wrote down some notes in my journal. Just some thoughts and feelings that came up during the reading. I figured it might be cool to look back on later and see if any of it actually comes true or if I see things differently after some time.
Final Thoughts on My Little Experiment
Honestly, the whole lotus tarot thing was pretty interesting. I don’t know if I totally buy into the whole fortune-telling aspect, but it was definitely a good way to reflect on my life and where I’m at right now. It’s like, the cards kind of gave me permission to think about things I might not normally think about. And the lotus part? Well, it’s a nice symbol for growth and new beginnings, and that’s something I can always get behind. It is a free way to interpret things that happen in my life. I don’t know if I’ll do it every day, but I might pull out the cards again sometime when I’m feeling a bit lost or just want to do some self-reflection. It’s a fun little tool to have, I guess.
