When I was a reckless teen I bought myself a pack of tarot cards. They came with a book and big sheet with the various spreads on it. I thought it would be a bit of fun just to see if it could work.
I really got into it them and found it quite easy to learn how to read them so that I didn't need the book to tell me the meanings of the cards or indeed their relationships to each other. I started doing readings for friends. In fact these became more and more accurate that more and more people asked me to do readings for them.
After a while I found that the cards were becoming the centre of my life. I was doing a reading every morning before I would even leave the house and if the cards foresaw bad things I wouldn't go out.
I realised how dangerous they had become to me so I stopped. I gave the cards away and moved on.
Recently I have renewed my interest in not only the tarot but Runes and other fortune telling spiritual past-times too.My first tarot reading for myself was pretty interesting and very close to the mark.
You might remember my old friend Abby off of London, well she asked if I could do her a reading online through Facebook. So I gave it a go.
She sent me her question via Facebook chat and I did the reading while asking her question and looking at photos of her. Once I had finished and sent her my reading of Past, Present and Future, she was shocked that it was spot on.
I think that with more practice and study at reading the cards as a whole I can become as good if not better than I was before.
I also acquired a little set of fortune telling cards from eBay. I thought they would be good as a little bit of fun.My first reading though was wonderful. I am not going to dwell too much on it suffice to say I am entering the Lottery and Euromillions every week from now on...
My favourite little Divination tool is the Heart and soul Angel cards.They are beautiful and I like to just sit and look through them. I think this is helping me tune into them as they are becoming a little easier to work with. They are a little different to the tarot as they are more of a way of seeking guidance from the Angels than telling your fortune.
I did myself a reading last night and it was the most interesting I have had and gave me the biggest push I have had in a while.
The last thing I wanted to mention which is something I just realised yesterday.
Even though I have always had vivid dreams (and when I was a teenager taught myself to have more lucid dreams) for the past few years there has been one aspect that has been unpleasant and that is I could not walk in a dream. Instead I would just slide everywhere. In my dreams I would realise this was happening and had to stay by walls and catch hold of lamp posts to keep myself levelled.
However, now I am not speeding everywhere. I am walking properly and my dreams are more lucid and real than ever. I looked up the meaning of sliding in dreams and it means out of control. This figures really as the last few years I have just been dragged along in life not having any control over what happens to me.
Now I am taking control it is showing in my dreams. It makes me happier to know that finally at the age of 39 my life might actually be going somewhere :D
