Today, I decided to give tarot reading a try. I’ve always been curious about it, so I figured, why not? I went online and did some research, finally found a deck that caught my eye – it was colorful, with all these intricate designs that I found pretty cool.
I got the deck, and man, it felt kinda weird holding it at first. Like, I didn’t really know what I was doing. But I followed the steps I found online: shuffled the cards, focused on my question, and laid them out in a simple spread. I chose the most common spread, which is the Celtic Cross, to interpret.
- The first card I drew was The Magician. The guide said it’s about having the tools and resources to achieve your goals. That’s interesting and inspiring.
- Next was The Empress, which apparently symbolizes abundance and nurturing. Okay, I can vibe with that.
- Then came The Tower, which, I won’t lie, freaked me out a bit. It’s all about sudden change and upheaval. But the guide also said it’s about breaking down old structures to build new ones, so maybe it’s not all bad.
- Then I drew The Lovers which represents choice and union.
- After that, The Chariot appeared, which is a card related to will and determination.
- The following card, The Justice, represents truth and fairness.
- Then I found The Hermit which symbolizes introspection and solitude.
- Next, The Wheel of Fortune told me that luck and destiny play their role.
- After that, The Strength appeared, representing inner power and courage.
- Finally, The Hanged Man, suggested a change of perspective and sacrifice.
Honestly, trying to interpret the cards was a trip. Each one had so many layers of meaning, and I spent a good chunk of time just reading through the descriptions and trying to connect them to my question and my life. The guide had all these interpretations, but it also encouraged me to trust my intuition, which was kinda cool. It was less about getting a definitive answer and more about reflecting on different aspects of my situation.
My First Tarot Reading Experience
The whole experience was surprisingly insightful. I didn’t expect to get much out of it, but it really made me think. It wasn’t like the cards magically solved my problems or anything, but they gave me a new way to look at things. I actually felt a bit more centered and calm afterward, like I had a better handle on what I was feeling and what I wanted to do.
I’m not sure if I’ll become a regular tarot reader, but I definitely see the appeal now. It’s a neat little tool for self-reflection, and I think anyone could benefit from giving it a try, even if you’re skeptical. You might just surprise yourself with what you discover.
