I attempted to study Tarot this past summer but was not having any luck. The cards didn't make sense to me at all and the card of the day was never accurate. So when I asked my friend Amanda, who knows a lot more about the occult than I do, she decided to help me.
I was shuffling my cards when I told her I wasn't having any luck. I never know which cards to pick and think about it too much. She told me to do a Direction spread. So she also shuffled, thought about my situation and picked the cards. That was my past post.
After that spread made so much sense, I told her about my summer and that I was concerned that I wasn't connecting with my cards. She told me to ask my cards why I wasn't connecting with them and then to pull a card. I shuffled the deck and she said that she felt it was right so I stopped shuffling. I was drawn to two cards and I told her and she said that I should just go ahead and pick them both.
1) The World.
"With this card, the Fool's journey ends; he arrives at his destination. The goal has been reached and all the elements of a situation have been drawn into a synthesized whole.
You've reached a deep understanding of the issues that concern you. You've begun to realize that everything in life starts within and readiates outward, that your most private beliefs create the reality that you live. Everything is available to you. Now it's time to free yourself from restriction. Expand your horizons.
Completion, success, fulfillment. You're ready to reap your rewards and move on to a new phase. If you've been working on a long-term project that seems like it will never end, be assured that the conclusion is near.
Don't assume that your ultimate goal in life has been attained. This card symbolizes peak experiences where you move a step closer toward becoming who you really are. This is an intermediate period in which you may enjoy your triumphs before you begin again as the Fool. The World dancer serves as a reminder that the journey is the true goal" (MacGregor, 76).
2) Seven of Rods
"You possess the ability to succeed against all oposition. You're in an advantageous position. Face up to the situation, take a stand, don't hesitate to assert your own point of view. Because of its connection to wisdom and knowledge, this seven incorporates the skills in teaching, lecturing, and composing. It's sometimes referred to as the writer's card, but encompasses all types of elf-employment.
You're meeting the challenge, whatever form it takes. Your next step is to tie up the loose ends of the past and get on with your life. You triumph over the competition by making your own decisions nad relying on your inner strength and judgment" (131).
The first card is the intention of my cards. This card is on point. After I read the second card, I think the cards are trying to tell me to hang in there; they are saying that I will work through this slump of mine and will then be able to connect to them. The challenge that I am meeting is my apathy, which is the reason I wasn't connecting to my cards in the first place. (This ties into the Direction spread where the Devil warned me of my apathy.)
Now that I read the second card over again, I feel that I am in an advantageous position because of my public policy class, which will renew my passion. The cards are telling me that I will be able to connect to them.
