not your run-of-the-mill
15 Dec
The biggest question you see from people who get “their Tarot” read or go to an astrologist to find out what the stars “say” is always the same: “what does this mean”? And the huge attraction of all esoteric paths seems to be boiling down to this question and the feeling that there is something which will explain life or a specific situation or guarantee some wished for future.
What does it mean?
Question, question, question.
How about turning things around and putting meaning into something?
Answer, answer, answer.
Exactly, this is the next mostly done thing, reading signs and assigning it meaning.
So, now who would better know what it means to YOU if a crying owl doesn’t give you the shivers but gives you the blues instead? Do you really want to give some external force like another person the power to tell you what you anyhow know best?
“Well yes”, you might say, “this gives the shivers and the awe and the tingling of mystery and ‘not know’ of what is”.
Having a game with it and fun with it is perfectly alright.
But if you hit rock bottom and try to get absolution from the cards, in such a situation I suggest you play another game, like taking a stroll outside or turn your house upside-down and clean the devil out of it.
You are the one who decides. You put meaning into it. You are it.
Splurge on it!
