Alright, let’s talk about my recent experience with the Judgement and High Priestess cards. I’ve been fiddling around with Tarot for a while now, just as a hobby, you know? Nothing too serious. But these two cards, they showed up together in a reading, and it got me thinking.
So, I started by setting up my space. I like to keep things simple. I lit a candle, not because I’m into the whole witchy vibe, but because it helps me focus. Then, I grabbed my deck. It’s nothing fancy, just a standard Rider-Waite deck I picked up online a while back.
Before I begin any reading, I always shuffle the cards while thinking about what I want to know. It’s like setting an intention, I guess. This time, I was curious about my direction in life, you know, the big picture stuff. I gave the deck a good riffle shuffle and knocked on it three times – just a little ritual I do.
Shuffling and Drawing
- Shuffled the deck thoroughly.
- Focused on my question about life direction.
- Cut the deck into three piles.
- Drew cards from the top of each pile.
I laid out the cards, and boom, there they were: Judgement and the High Priestess, staring right back at me. Now, I’m no expert, but I know these two are pretty significant. Judgement is all about, well, judgement, big decisions, and major life changes. The High Priestess, on the other hand, she’s the mysterious one, all about intuition and hidden knowledge.
Seeing them together, I felt a bit overwhelmed. It seemed like the universe was telling me something big, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. I spent the next hour just looking at the cards, flipping through my little guidebook, and jotting down some notes.
Interpreting the Cards
- Judgement: Big decisions, life changes, a wake-up call.
- High Priestess: Intuition, hidden knowledge, trusting your gut.
- Together: A need to balance logic with intuition when making decisions.
It hit me that maybe, just maybe, I’ve been ignoring my gut feelings too much. I tend to overthink things, you see. Always analyzing every possible outcome, getting stuck in “paralysis by analysis.” The High Priestess seemed to be saying, “Hey, buddy, you’ve got good instincts, use them!” while Judgement was there, nodding along like, “Yeah, and make up your mind already!”
I decided to do a little experiment. For the next week, I tried to pay more attention to my intuition. Nothing drastic, just small things. Like, if I felt a sudden urge to take a different route to work, I did it. If I had a hunch about calling up an old friend, I picked up the phone. It’s not like any major revelations happened, but I felt…lighter, somehow. More in tune with myself.
Reflecting on the Experience
- Realized I often ignore my intuition.
- Experimented with following my gut feelings for a week.
- Felt more in tune with myself and less stressed.
I’m still not sure what big decision Judgement was hinting at. Maybe it’s not about one single thing, but rather a shift in how I approach life in general. Less thinking, more feeling. It’s a work in progress, for sure. But I’m glad I did that reading. It gave me something to chew on, you know? And it reminded me that sometimes, the answers are already within us, we just need to listen a little closer.
So yeah, that’s my little adventure with Judgement and the High Priestess. It wasn’t some earth-shattering event, but it was a good reminder to trust myself more. And hey, that’s worth something, right? Maybe I’ll pull these cards more often, just to keep me honest. Who knows what else they might reveal? It was fun, I will try to pull them in the future. The most important thing, I think is that I did this reading, and I recorded the whole process. This was really meaningful to me. I learned a lot from it.
