Alright, so last Tuesday evening, I finally decided to try out that free angel tarot reading method I kept hearing whispers about. Honestly, I was curious but kinda skeptical. Free guidance? From angels? Through cards? Sounded almost too good. But hey, I had a quiet moment after dinner and thought, “What the heck, let’s see what happens.”
First thing, I needed my cards. I grabbed my trusty Rider-Waite deck off the shelf – the one that feels familiar in my hands. Went into the living room where it was peaceful, no TV blaring, just the low hum of the fridge. Sat myself down cross-legged on the rug, you know, trying to get comfortable and open-minded.
Getting Set Up
I cleared a little space right in front of me on the rug. Needed a clean spot, mentally and physically. Didn’t want any leftover crumbs or bad vibes messing things up! Just a simple, clear surface.
Shuffling the deck took a while. I wasn’t rushing it. Just held the cards loosely, shuffling them over and over. I tried to focus my mind, asking silently something like, “Okay angels, if you’re around and willing, give me some clarity about… well, you know what’s been bugging me.” Didn’t have one specific question, more like a general feeling of being stuck I wanted insight on. Let the energy settle.
Drawing the Cards
Here’s the basic “instructions” everyone talks about for this free angel reading:
- Don’t plan a spread. Just pull however many cards feel right.
- Start pulling cards face down. Don’t peek!
- Lay them down one after the other in front of you.
- Don’t assign positions. Just let them lie there.
- Flip them over slowly in the order you drew them.
So that’s exactly what I did. After shuffling until it felt “done,” I just started pulling cards out slowly. Felt like I should pull three cards. Put them face down in a little row right by my knees. Took a deep breath. Okay, moment of truth.
Flipped the first card. Bam! The Tower. Oof. Kinda harsh. My gut reaction was like, “Well, that’s dramatic.” Didn’t feel scared, more like, okay, something big needs shaking up? Or falling apart? Angels don’t sugarcoat, I guess.
Second card flip: The Six of Cups. This felt softer. Old stuff, memories, maybe simpler times or even childhood stuff coming back? Felt nostalgic looking at it.
Third card flip: Knight of Wands. Energy, action, maybe charging ahead? A fiery vibe. Suddenly the Tower didn’t feel just destructive, maybe it was clearing space for this energy.
Trying to Make Sense of It
Honestly, my head was spinning a little. Tower = breakdown. Six of Cups = looking back, comfort. Knight of Wands = charging forward. What did that combo even mean?
I didn’t jump to any book. I just sat with the pictures and the feeling they gave me together. Felt like a message: “Hey, yeah, that thing you’re clinging to? The comfortable past stuff? It might need to change or even collapse a bit, but that clears the path so you can finally act on the passion or energy you’ve been holding back.” It felt less scary and more like, the disruption was necessary for the movement.
I kept the cards out for maybe twenty minutes. Just looking at them. Didn’t get a booming angelic voice or anything, hah! But the message felt strangely… fitting. That stuck feeling? Yeah, maybe it is time to let some structures break down so the energy can move. I scribbled the cards down quickly in my notebook with a couple of my first thoughts.
After Thoughts
Put the cards away later feeling… contemplative. Not magically fixed, mind you. Not like a switch flipped. But that Knight of Wands kept popping into my head the next couple of days. Whenever I felt stuck, I kinda pictured it. Maybe the reading just gave me permission to see my situation differently? That even the uncomfortable changes create space.
Did the angels personally handpick those cards? Who knows for sure. But following those simple free reading steps – shuffling with intention, pulling without a rigid plan, just letting the cards land and seeing what story they tell together – that part felt genuinely useful. Less fortune-telling, more like giving my subconscious and maybe something bigger a chance to nudge me with symbols. I’d probably try it again when the vibe feels right.
