So, I’ve always been a bit curious about tarot cards. One day, I thought, “Why not try using the bottom of the deck tarot to see if it can predict the future?” And that’s how my little experiment began.
Step 1: Getting the Deck
I went to a local new – age store and picked up a standard tarot deck. I shuffled it a few times, like how you’d shuffle a regular deck of playing cards. I really didn’t know what I was doing at first, but I just went with the flow.
Step 2: The Setup
I found a quiet corner in my room, cleared a small table, and laid out a soft cloth. Then I placed the shuffled deck on it. I took a deep breath and focused on a question I wanted an answer to. It was something like “Will I have a good week at work?”
Step 3: Drawing from the Bottom
I reached under the deck and slowly pulled out the bottom card. It was a bit nerve – wracking, like I was about to open a secret message. The card I got was The Star. I had no idea what it meant at first, so I had to look it up in the little guidebook that came with the deck.
Step 4: Interpretation
The guidebook said The Star was a sign of hope, inspiration, and a positive outlook. It suggested that things would go well in the near future. I was like, “Wow, that sounds great!” But I was also skeptical. I mean, how could a card really tell me what was going to happen?
Step 5: Keeping a Record
I decided to keep a record of my readings. Every few days, I’d draw another card from the bottom of the deck and write down the card, the question I asked, and what the guidebook said. I also noted what actually happened in my life around that time.
Step 6: Analyzing the Results
After a few weeks, I sat down and looked at my records. Some of the readings seemed to match what was going on in my life. For example, when I asked about a social event, I got a card that indicated a fun gathering, and sure enough, I had a great time at a party. But there were also times when the readings didn’t seem to line up at all.
Conclusion
So, can the bottom of the deck tarot predict the future? Well, it’s hard to say. Some experts believe that tarot cards work as a way to tap into our subconscious, rather than actually predicting the future. According to a survey, about 30% of people who try tarot readings think they get some useful insights. In my case, it was a mixed bag. It was a fun experiment, and it made me think about how we try to find meaning in the unknown. Whether it’s truly predictive or just a cool way to reflect on our lives, I’ll keep doing these readings for a while and see what else I discover.
