So, the other day, I got it into my head to mess around with Tarot cards. I’ve always been a bit curious about them, you know? They seem so mysterious and full of hidden meanings. I decided to focus on two cards that really caught my eye: The Tower and The Magician. I mean, the names alone are intriguing, right?
First, I grabbed my Tarot deck and started shuffling. I cleared my mind, or at least tried to, and focused on getting in touch with… I don’t know, the universe? Whatever it is that Tarot readers tap into. Then, I pulled out The Tower and The Magician cards and laid them out in front of me.
Looking at The Tower, it’s a pretty intense image. A big tower struck by lightning, people falling out… It looks like total chaos. I read somewhere that it symbolizes sudden change, upheaval, maybe even destruction. I thought about times in my life where everything seemed to fall apart, and how those moments, as scary as they were, often led to something new, something better.
Then there’s The Magician. This card feels so different. It shows a figure standing confidently, with all these tools laid out on a table. One hand pointing up, the other down, like they’re connecting heaven and earth. I learned that The Magician is all about manifestation, resourcefulness, and turning ideas into reality. It got me thinking about how we all have the power within us to create and shape our lives.
- Pulled out the cards and really looked at them.
- Read up a bit on what these cards are supposed to mean.
- Thought about how these meanings show up in my own life.
- Tried to see if these cards together could be telling me something specific.
What I Did:
Putting these two cards together was really interesting. It’s like, on one hand, you have this card that screams “disruption” and “change,” and on the other, you have a card that’s all about “creation” and “power.” At first, it felt like they were opposites. But then I started to see it differently. Maybe The Tower‘s chaos is necessary to clear the way for The Magician‘s creation. Like, sometimes things have to fall apart before you can build something new and better.
I spent a good chunk of the day just reflecting on this. I journaled a bit, doodled some thoughts, and even talked it out with my cat (he’s a great listener). It felt like I was onto something, like these cards were giving me a new way to look at change and creation in my life.
By the end of the day, I felt… I don’t know, more grounded? More connected to myself and the world around me? It’s weird how a couple of cards can do that. I realized that Tarot, for me, isn’t about predicting the future. It’s more about self-reflection and understanding the energies at play in my life. This little experiment with The Tower and The Magician really opened my eyes to that. It also helped me appreciate that even in the midst of chaos, there’s always potential for something amazing to emerge.
