Two paths, two stories...
I got a chance last night to run a couple of tarot spreads for myself and it was really interesting. I mean, okay, I believe in the tarot and that it works. I understand that you can have good spreads and bad spreads and all that stuff, and that you can even have nonsense spreads that make no sense when you read them, and all that stuff works in context. But last night I had what I found to be confirmation (yet again) that it all works like it's supposed to.I ran two spreads, examining two different paths. The first came back basically following the course that I sorta, kinda expected it would. The second...well I ran the second out of curiosity. I was thinking that maybe I'd only been seeing what I was wanting or expecting to see and so I'd run this one and see what it had to say. Also sort of testing the whole "any cards can say anything you want them to say" theory too.
So I did that spread, and wow, what a result I got back. It was an ugly, nasty, *dark* spread, that culminated in "The Tower", reversed! I'm not sure what I was expecting, but everything about this spread, made it clear to me that it was:
a) a fantasy, not real, never could be, nor should be
b) a bad idea if ever it were to be real
and
c) an obvious sign of complete and utter failure on my part
Even the mirror card (that which reflects the signifier) was the "end result" card of the first spread!
It was interesting to do, and interesting results, and a bit more of a confirmation (for me at least) that I'm on the right path...
