Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with tarot cards lately, just for fun, you know? And I decided to do a little experiment, a kind of focused reading, using just two cards: The Tower and The Devil. I called it “The Tower and The Devil”. I wanted to see what kind of story they would tell together.
Shuffling and Setting the Mood
First, I grabbed my deck. I’ve got this one, it’s kinda old, the edges are all soft, and it feels good in my hands. I shuffled them really well, not in any fancy way, just mixing them up until it felt right. I was sitting on the floor, with my favorite worn-out rug underneath me. I also lit a candle, more for the vibe than anything mystical.
Pulling the Cards
I closed my eyes, took a few deep breaths – tried to get my head clear, you know? Then, I spread the cards out face down on the rug, and slowly moved my hand over them. I was just waiting for that little tug, that feeling like, “This is the one.”
First, I pulled The Tower. Okay, that card is a little intense, right? It’s all about sudden change, upheaval, things falling apart. Makes you a bit nervous, not gonna lie.
Then, I hovered my hand over the cards again, feeling for that pull. And I drew The Devil. Whoa. This one’s about feeling trapped, being bound by something, maybe unhealthy attachments or bad habits. The cards give me heavy vibes.
Making Sense of It All
So, I sat there, just looking at these two cards. The Tower and The Devil, side by side. It felt like a powerful combo, a little scary even. I started thinking, what could this mean, put together like this?
- Maybe it means a big change is coming (The Tower), and it’s going to shake things up because I’ve been holding onto something I shouldn’t be (The Devil).
- Or, maybe it’s saying that the way I’m feeling trapped (The Devil) is about to be blown apart (The Tower), whether I like it or not.
- Or, I am controlled by my unhealthy habits(The Devil), and something bad is about to happening(The Tower).
The more I thought and stared at the pictures, and turned the meanings over in my head. And it will lead to some explosive, life-altering event.
The Takeaway
Honestly, it was a bit of a wake-up call. I realized I need to do something about the things. I had to put the cards away. And it was a fun, kinda spooky, and definitely thought-provoking little experiment.
