not your run-of-the-mill
13 Jan
Late as it is I did not want to anything too deep and just playfully tossed with the cards. The outcome was once again inspiring and “tickling” - and this is really a nice relationship to have with a game.
Seriousness truly is the death of any game. Effort and solidity kills anything playful or fun. The best communication and flow of ideas with cards - or anything that you use for its symbolic language - seem to happen when a certain lightness is present.
If you are reading cards for yourself this points to a needed distance to yourself as to be able to laugh about yourself. Even though you are the most important thing to you, if you are able to not take yourself that serious, life is going to be so much more fun.
The (once again) astonishing thing was that this exact attitude gave me the most interesting cards to look at and to chew on. Plus, the result was a great reflection of how I see myself currently with just enough oomph to not get too giddy and with this surfaced again this tiny complacency thought of, “see, maybe, just maybe, all these nay sayers that insist we can impossibly know and thus tarot is only a play of coincidences might just maybe be wrong after all!”
