I picked out the lover (I guess I wanted to or I was pulled to) Saturday night and let’s just say some unexpected events happen that night.

Sunday during my meditation I meditated to the Devil (in reverse via intention) to get my head straight and let go of things I can’t control. Last night I shuffled and asked “what energy do I need the most at this moment” and boom pulled out the wheel of fortune appeared, initially I had some blockage / resistance to pulling this card, “this can’t be the card” but nonetheless I went ahead and meditated to it.

As I was going to bed, I tried focusing on what’s the best step for me moving forward (I have the hermit, moon, and the high priestess under my pillow) vivid dreams and lots of water (emotion) joyful, confused, and in awe as if I was consciously communicating with my self in this dream state, getting guidance from the hermit and using the high priestess as a bridge between the unconscious and conscious mind.

I woke up and meditated this morning and gave gratitude to the archetypes for their help.

And then the first card I drew this morning was the Eight of Swords. Brutal.

Not really. It’s actually telling you to meditate. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Eights symbolize the perfection of matter and mind. Above all, Swords represent intellect. Therefore, the question to ponder is how does one perfect the intellect. The surest way I know is through meditation. :sparkles:

In our new Beginner Tarot Thread or Tarot Category,maybe you could share what you see that is brutal about your card? (I don’t understand this card in that way so you’d be educating us all.)

Here’s an idea: UPRIGHT: Negative thoughts, self-imposed restriction, imprisonment, victim mentality

REVERSED: Self-limiting beliefs, inner critic, releasing negative thoughts, open to new perspectives

Eight of swords is not pleasant, but it’s not brutal. And if you ponder on this a little bit more, 8 = 4 + 4. Prehaps you’ll find something in your head right now.

Actually I like the swords the most in the minor arcana. :slightly_smiling_face:

Drew Two of Swords today…

By the way, I see people talking about reversed cards/meanings… How does this work when I draw the card? How do I know if the card I drew is reversed or not? Are reversed meanings important?

After you’ve played with your deck for awhile the cards get mixed up. Some of the more complicated spreads that have been created have some of the cards at different angles. Some of them will eventually get turned upside down just by doing spreads and playing with them. If you pull one that is upside down, the meaning is the opposite of the right-side-up meaning.

Seriously? Aww

I think if you read each category youll understand what goes where, and if you want to comment or add something or ask and dont know where, you can post under general discussion maybe?

Im sure along the way we will get familiar with each one, the most important is to have fun and grow
