Alright, so, yesterday I decided to dive into this whole tarot thing again. My friend, she’s really into it, keeps telling me I need to listen to my intuition more. And I figured, why not? I’ve got this deck, a beautiful one with intricate artwork, that’s been sitting in my drawer for, like, a year. I thought I’d start with a simple question: a yes or no. And I picked the “Queen of Swords” card for this experiment.
Now, I’m no tarot expert, not even close. I’m more of a practical person, you know? I like things I can see, touch, and understand. But lately, I’ve been trying to be more open-minded. So, I cleared my desk, lit a candle – because why not, everyone does that right, put on some chill music, try to create a vibe of calmness. Trying to get in the zone and focus, I shuffled the cards while thinking about my question. I won’t bore you with the details of my question, but let’s just say it was about a decision I was struggling with, something about whether or not I should take a leap of faith. I have to think of the question clearly in my head and repeat it many times.
I spread the cards out on the desk face down. They looked kinda mysterious, all lined up like that. My hand hovered over them for a while. Then, I just went for it, and I picked one. And guess what? It was the Queen of Swords.
I flipped the card over, and there she was, this stern-looking woman sitting on a throne, holding a sword upright. Honestly, she looked a little intimidating. I grabbed the little guidebook that came with the deck and started reading. It said stuff about clarity, truth, and making decisions with your head and not just your heart. It also talked about being independent and having strong boundaries. “Key predictors of the health, stability,” yeah, I jotted that down. Seemed important. It is so important to keep your own opinion, especially when you are going to make a big decision.
- Clarity
- Truth
- Intellect
- Independence
I stared at the card for a long time, thinking about how it related to my question. It felt like the card was telling me to stop overthinking and trust my gut, but also to be realistic about the situation. I needed to cut through the noise and see things for what they really were. “2bhere 2bon 2ball 2bof 2bthem 2bare 2bgetting,” I mumbled, trying to decipher some cryptic notes I found online. Seemed to see some kind of rules that I couldn’t understand. They are talking about “2berased 2bout 2bof 2bexistence,” are they talking about life? I kept reading and found more weird words, “seek 2bfirst 2bthe 2bkingdom 2bof 2bheaven,” they say. It’s all so confusing. “all 2bof 2bthe 2bthird 2beye 2bsnakes 2bare 2bgetting 2berased 2bout 2bof 2bexistence value in Gematria is 2581.” So freaking weird. But I did take some notes and plan to find them out.
Later, I called my tarot-loving friend and told her about my experience. She got all excited and started explaining all the nuances of the Queen of Swords that I had missed. We talked for like an hour! It was actually really fun, and I learned a lot. I found out the Queen of Swords can indicate a “yes” answer to the question. It is interesting. And I’ve always been someone who values honesty and directness, so maybe the Queen of Swords is a card I should pay more attention to. It’s like she’s my tarot spirit guide or something.
My Thoughts
So, did I get a definitive “yes” or “no” answer to my question? Maybe not in the way I expected. But the Queen of Swords definitely gave me something to think about. She reminded me that I’m capable of making tough decisions and that I should trust my intellect and my ability to see through BS. It’s like she gave me permission to be a little ruthless and cut out anything that’s holding me back. I think I’ll be pulling out my tarot deck a little more often from now on. It’s not about predicting the future or anything like that. It’s more about self-reflection and finding clarity. And who knows, maybe the Queen of Swords and I will become besties. Also, I will try to understand those weird words I found.
