A Quiet Afternoon Spent Reading

[unavoidedcrisis]

In an astounding regression this afternoon, I dug out a deck of cards and shuffled them for an hour. Just the repetitive action was enough to help clear my mind and settle my nerves. Before I quite realized it, I was laying them out in a familiar pattern.

Quite an interesting read, I'd say, with plenty more information for me to consider now. I haven't read my own cards in years. It felt weird, but very familiar. Like old friends you haven't spoken to in years come to visit. Maybe you remember why you didn't invite them to any parties in the last few months.

If anyone on my flist actually does divining with cards, do you feel a little uneasy after a strong reading? Like maybe fate is pushing you a little too hard? Alternately, do you ever feel like you read too far in? Like you're grasping for the answers you lack?

*sigh* Looks like another awake night for me tonight.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes. I'm always worried I'm reading the wrong things from the cards. And then I remember that really, the cards are just a tool to help me sort out and organize what I'm shuffling around in my brain, so whatever I read in them is likely something I either should be thinking about or needed to think about/focus on.

I like to believe the cards work using quantum physics principles. :)

I wonder all the time if what I am reading is actually what the cards are saying or if I am just making it all up. Other times the cards I draw feel so right that I have no doubts that they are trying to tell me something. I find personally, that it really depends on your focus and energy level. If you don't care and am not putting that much effort into it then you won't get much of a response.

I can most definetely say that there have been times when I have pushed too hard for answers and the only card I've drawn is the "retreat: stop trying to make things happen" card. :) At least mine have a sense of humour :D
