Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this idea of using tarot cards, but like, outside. Not just sitting at my kitchen table, you know? I’m calling it “Tarot for the Great Outdoors,” and it’s been pretty interesting so far.
First, I grabbed my favorite deck – the one with the really cool nature illustrations. It just felt right for this experiment. I also packed a small blanket, a water bottle (gotta stay hydrated!), and a little notebook and pen to jot down my thoughts.
Finding the Right Spot
The whole point was to connect with nature, so I headed to this local park I love. It has a bunch of trails, a creek, and tons of trees. I wandered around for a bit until I found this secluded little spot by the creek. It was quiet, with just the sound of the water and the birds, and it felt… peaceful. Perfect.
The Outdoor Reading
I spread out my blanket, sat down, and shuffled the cards. Usually, I do a three-card spread – past, present, future – but this time, I felt like just drawing one card. I closed my eyes, took a few deep breaths of that fresh air, and focused on a simple question: “What do I need to be aware of today?”
Then, I flipped over a card.
The card show up is “The Hermit”.
I spent some time just looking at the card, noticing how the imagery connected with the nature around me. Like, I was in a shady spot, and The Hermit is often pictured in a cave or under a tree. It felt very… * then wrote my thoughts down about “The Hermit” in the nature.
Wrapping Up
After about 20 minutes, I packed everything up, feeling surprisingly refreshed. It wasn’t some huge, life-altering revelation, but it definitely shifted my * card “The Hermit” make me think of that It’s time to be alone, and it’s the right moment to be silence.
I’m definitely going to keep doing this. Maybe I’ll try different spots, different times of day, and see how it changes the readings. It’s like adding a whole new layer to my tarot practice, and I’m kinda hooked!
