Okay, here’s my sharing about simply tarot cards:
So, I got into this whole tarot card thing a while back. I was curious, you know? I mean, who isn’t intrigued by the idea of getting a little peek into the future or whatever? Anyway, I decided to give it a shot, and I figured, why not keep it simple? No need to get all tangled up in the fancy stuff right away.
First thing I did was grab a deck of cards. I did a bit of window-shopping online and picked one that felt right. Nothing too crazy, just a basic deck with some cool artwork. Then I thought, alright, before I start pulling cards and trying to interpret them, I should probably chill out a bit. So, I started with a little meditation. Just a few minutes of focusing on my breath, you know, to clear my head. I figured it wouldn’t be a good idea to go into a reading all frazzled and stressed. You want a clear mind for this kind of thing.
Once I was feeling a bit more zen, I started shuffling the cards. I just held them in my hands, closed my eyes, and tried to focus on whatever question I had in mind. Then, I started pulling cards. Now, I didn’t really know any specific spreads or anything like that. I just pulled a few cards and laid them out in front of me. I mean, they are just cards after all, but it still feels a little cool and mysterious.
- Shuffle the cards: I spent some time shuffling, just feeling the cards in my hands.
- Focus: I tried to focus on a question or situation I wanted some insight into.
- Pull cards: I just pulled a few cards, no specific number.
- Lay them out: I placed the cards in front of me, not really in any particular pattern.
Then came the tricky part – figuring out what the heck they meant! I started with the little booklet that came with the cards. It gives you some basic meanings for each card. I’d look at the card, read the description, and then try to relate it to my question or situation. Honestly, at first, it was a bit like trying to decipher a foreign language.
But, I kept at it. I’d do a reading every now and then, just for fun. I didn’t take it too seriously, but it was interesting to see how the cards could sometimes reflect what was going on in my life. And I tried to see them as advice, nothing more.
My Takeaway
Over time, I started to get a bit more comfortable with the cards. I even started looking up some simple spreads online – you know, those patterns you lay the cards out in. It added a bit more structure to the readings, which was kind of nice. Like giving the cards a question directly instead of letting them guess.
I’m still no expert, not by a long shot. But I’ve learned a few things along the way. It’s all about intuition and going with your gut. It’s also more fun that way. If a card’s meaning doesn’t quite resonate, I don’t force it. I just try to see what else it might be trying to tell me. It is okay to say “I don’t know” and try again next time.
And you know what? It’s actually been a pretty cool journey of self-discovery. The cards can sometimes act as a mirror, reflecting back your own thoughts and feelings. It’s kind of like having a conversation with yourself, in a weird, symbolic way. I found that part to be really helpful.
So, yeah, that’s my experience with tarot cards so far. I’m still learning, still exploring. And I’m definitely keeping it simple. No need to get bogged down in all the complicated stuff. It’s more fun that way, and who knows, you might actually learn something about yourself in the process. You just have to start and keep going. Or not, it is totally up to you. I hope that was helpful. Cheers!
