Okay, so today I wanted to try something a little different – diving into the world of tarot. I’ve always been curious about it, but never really gave it a go myself. I found this old deck of cards at a garage sale a while back, and figured, why not? The card I was really focused on today was the “Queen of Swords.”
I started by just shuffling the deck, you know, getting a feel for the cards. Then, I laid them out in a simple spread – just three cards. I wanted to see what the Queen of Swords might have to say to me, so I kept that in mind as I flipped them over.
And guess what? The Queen of Swords actually showed up! She was right there, looking all regal and, well, a bit intimidating, to be honest. I remembered reading somewhere that she’s all about truth, clarity, and being straightforward. So I took a deep breath and really looked at the card.
The thing that struck me was her posture. She’s sitting up so straight, so composed. It made me think about how I’ve been kind of slouching through things lately, not really facing stuff head-on. I spent a while just looking at the card, thinking about what areas of my life I am not facing with clearity.
Then I started to jot down some notes. What did this card mean for me, right now? I started writing down whatever came to mind, stream-of-consciousness style. Stuff about needing to be more honest with myself, about not sugarcoating things. I looked at the card again, and focused on her sword, and realized that I needed to cut through the B.S. in my own life.
- The Queen is tough, but fair.
- I need to speak my mind more.
- Stop avoiding difficult conversations.
My initial thoughts:
I did this for a good hour, just meditating on the card and writing. It was actually pretty intense! I felt like I was uncovering some things I’d been pushing down. And you know what? It felt good. Kind of like a weight off my shoulders.
After my writing session, I decided to do a little more research on the Queen of Swords. I looked up some different interpretations online, just to see what other people had to say about her. It was interesting to see how my own thoughts aligned with some of the stuff I was reading.
Finally, I put the cards away, feeling like I had actually learned something about myself. It wasn’t some big, dramatic revelation, but more like a gentle nudge in the right direction. I will definitely be doing this again. Maybe I’ll pull the Queen of Swords again, or maybe it’ll be a different card. Either way, I’m feeling pretty good about this whole tarot thing!
