Okay, so I tried out this Ostara tarot spread thing today, and let me tell you, it was quite the experience. It’s supposed to be for the Spring Equinox, a time for new beginnings and all that jazz. I’ve been feeling like I need a bit of a fresh start, so I thought, why not give it a shot?
First off, I got myself all set up. I cleared off my little table, lit some candles because, you know, ambiance, and put on some chill music. I wanted the whole vibe to be right. Then, I pulled out my tarot deck. It’s not some ancient, mystical heirloom or anything, just a regular deck I picked up online, but it does the job.
I started by shuffling the cards, focusing on what I wanted to get out of this. I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but I tried to keep an open mind. After shuffling, I followed this spread I found. It’s a 12-card spread, which felt a bit intense, but I was committed. I laid out the cards in the specific positions, each one representing different things like hopes, challenges, and advice.
- The first card was about the energies I should embrace. Mine was something about new beginnings. Okay, pretty on the nose, but cool.
- The next few cards were about what I need to let go of and what’s been holding me back. There was a lot about past failures and self-doubt. Seriously, these cards were calling me out.
- Then came the challenges. Oh boy, it showed some stuff about facing my fears and getting out of my comfort zone. Easier said than done, right?
- But there was also advice. Things about trusting my intuition and taking small steps forward. It felt reassuring, like the universe wasn’t just pointing out my flaws but also giving me some guidance.
After laying out all the cards, I spent some time just looking at them, trying to figure out what it all meant. I took some notes, just random thoughts that popped into my head. I’m not going to pretend I’m some tarot expert, but it felt like I was getting some insights, even if they were a bit muddled.
I also did a little extra to celebrate Ostara. I put some fresh flowers on my table, and I even tried to decorate some eggs. I know, it sounds a bit silly, but it was fun, and it felt like I was really connecting with the whole spring renewal thing. I also tried to draw bunnies, but let’s just say it wasn’t a masterpiece.
Honestly, the whole experience was pretty cool. It was a nice way to reflect on things and set some intentions for the future. Plus, it was just fun to do something different. I think I’ll try doing these spreads more often, maybe for each new season. It’s a nice little ritual to have, and who knows, maybe it’ll help me figure some things out along the way.
