Alright, alright, let’s talk about this… whatchamacallit… bottom of the deck tarot, yeah? Folks always fussin’ over the fancy cards on top, but lemme tell ya, the one on the bottom, that sneaky fella, it’s got somethin’ to say too. It’s like, you’re makin’ a big ol’ pot of stew, right? You got your carrots and potatoes on top, lookin’ all pretty, but it’s the stuff stickin’ to the bottom of the pot that gives it the real flavor, you know what I mean?
So, this bottom card, it ain’t just sittin’ there twiddlin’ its thumbs. It’s like the shadow, the hidden part of the story. Like when you sweep the floor, you get all the big dirt, but that fine dust, the stuff you barely see, that’s what really gets into your lungs, you see? The bottom card, it’s that fine dust of the reading. It tells you what’s really goin’ on underneath, the stuff you ain’t payin’ attention to. Like that time my prize rooster went missin’, everyone was lookin’ up in the trees, but it was that sneaky ol’ fox hidin’ in the tall grass, that bottom-of-the-barrel kinda place, that got him.
Now, some folks get all fancy with their words, talkin’ about “underlying influences” and “subconscious energies.” Hogwash, I say! It’s just plain common sense. If you keep trippin’ over the same rug, you don’t just keep walkin’, you gotta look down and see what’s causin’ the problem, right? The bottom card, it’s like that lump under the rug. It’s the thing you gotta deal with before you can move on. It’s the hidden problem, the secret worry, the thing you’re tryin’ to ignore.
Let’s say you pull a card, somethin’ happy, like the Sun, up on top. You think, “Oh, happy days!” But then you look at the bottom, and there’s that darn Tower card starin’ back at ya. That ain’t no accident, honey. It means that happiness, it might be built on shaky ground. Like a fancy house with a rotten foundation. Looks good on the outside, but it ain’t gonna last. So, you gotta pay attention, you gotta shore up them cracks before the whole thing comes crumblin’ down.
- Think of it like this: The top cards are what you see, the bottom card is what you feel in your gut.
- It’s the whisper in the back of your mind, the feeling you can’t quite shake.
- It’s the truth you don’t wanna face, but you gotta.
And it ain’t always bad, mind you. Sometimes that bottom card is a little nudge, a little bit of encouragement. Maybe you’re feelin’ down, pullin’ cards all about sadness and struggle, and then you see that Ace of Cups sittin’ pretty on the bottom. That’s like a little wink from the universe, sayin’, “Don’t you worry, honey, there’s good stuff comin’. Just hold on tight.”
Some people, they like to flip that bottom card over and read it reversed. Says it gives it extra meanin’. Me, I don’t hold with all that flippin’ and floppin’. A card’s a card, it speaks its truth whichever way it’s facin’. It’s like lookin’ at a person, you don’t need to stand ‘em on their head to know if they’re smilin’ or frownin’, do ya? You just gotta listen with your heart, not just your eyes.
So, next time you’re doin’ your cards, don’t just shuffle and flip. Take a peek at the bottom. See what that sneaky little card has to say. It might just surprise ya. It might just be the key to the whole darn thing. It’s the hidden message, the secret sauce, the thing that makes the whole pot of stew worth eatin’. And that, my friends, is the truth about that bottom of the deck tarot, plain and simple, just like good ol’ home cookin’. You don’t need fancy words or fancy ways, just a good heart and a little bit of common sense.
And remember, life ain’t always about what’s on top. Sometimes, it’s what’s hidden underneath that really matters. Just like them potatoes in the stew, they might not be the prettiest, but they sure do fill you up and keep you goin’. So pay attention to that bottom card, it’s got more to say than you might think.
