The Tarot Project: Exploration of Digital Divination #1

queenmountain (64)in #steemit • 7 years ago (edited)

Hello my fellow Steemians! I am a Tarot reader and have been for 2 decades. I usually read for one person, face to face. However, I have been tinkering with the idea of offering digital readings for a large group of people, and I feel Steemit is a great place to practice this experiment!

Tarot: How it Works

Normally, I read the cards directly to a client and we discuss the outcome of the divination. However, it will be up to YOU to apply the cards to your situation. The great thing about Tarot is that it can be interpreted in many different ways, but in my experience, the arcane message always speaks to the receiver. What does this mean? You will receive your own personal message and guidance from the Tarot, but it is up to you to understand how to apply it to your life.

You may realize the message after the life event has already happened! And it will be an epiphany. Wow! Tarot was right! Or, you will be able to receive the message and apply it beforehand, which will give you guidance. That is what I strive for.

My fat cat decided to help me with my reading!

The Experiment:

I have not exactly decided how frequently I will do readings. I would like to do a once-a-day card, but that is a large commitment. I might only do readings that align with astrological events. This is to be discussed. I also feel I will shape my readings on the feedback of Steemians.

Essentially, I will focus on gathering a message for our online community while I shuffle the cards. I will then provide a basic explanation of the cards, and the reading as a whole. Then it will be up to you to apply it to your life!

I would really love your feedback on this project and see how the tarot has touched your life, or how it has not. I really do love divining with the tarot, and I would love to share this arcane knowledge and inspiration with you!

Today's Reading

I have done a single card reading for you today. This is a reading that spans over a short period of time, usually 24 hours to a few days. This is a universally useful card, which I thought would be a good beginning reading for all of us.

CARD: III of Wands Reversed

Visual Interpretation: A man of means overlooks the sea, watching his merchant fleet of ships. He is stable and secure, surrounded by wands, planted on a rock. He wears a golden ring round his head. However, this card is reversed, possibly indicating a tumultous time for trade and commerce.

Traditional Meaning: Resolution after struggle, the end of a conflict situation, the end of disappointment or toil, rest, false help or advice.

You may now relax as your work is done. You did all that was needed and now you cannot change the outcome. If you were upset about a particular outcome, your feeling of disappointment will soon subside. Beware of those who may give you help or advice purely for their own advantage.

My general divination: This kind of reminds me of the bitcoin fork. A resolution has been found, although there could be more room for trouble down the road. We can now all rest after this situation has unfolded, but our rest may only be temporary.

This is not necesarilly a negative reading, but it has an air of caution. Keep a keen eye on those trying to sell you an illusion. Take a moment to take a breath, and do not make any hasty decisions at this point. Commerce and trade may be unstable so choose your investments and path wisely.
