Well, I’ve always been curious about tarot card readings. One day, I decided to try the Celtic Cross reading myself. Here’s how it went.
Step 1: Get the Right Tarot Deck
I went to a local store and picked up a tarot deck that I liked the look of. It was a basic Rider – Waite – style deck, which is super common and easy to understand. I shuffled the deck like crazy, making sure the cards were all mixed up. It felt kind of like shuffling a regular deck of playing cards, but with a bit more of a mysterious vibe.
Step 2: Set the Intention
Before I started laying out the cards, I took a deep breath and thought about what I wanted to know. I said to myself, “I want some insights into my current situation and what the future might hold.” It sounds a bit cheesy, but I felt like it helped me focus. Then, I spread out the cards face – down on the table, getting ready for the next step.
Step 3: Lay Out the Cards
I followed the Celtic Cross pattern. First, I placed one card in the center, which represents the present situation. It was like pulling the first piece of a puzzle. Then, I put another card across it, which shows the challenge or the influence that’s coming in. After that, I added cards one by one in the specific positions of the Celtic Cross. Each position has a different meaning, like past influences, future possibilities, and so on. It was a bit tricky to remember where each card should go, but I kept referring to the guidebook that came with the deck.
Step 4: Interpret the Cards
Once all the cards were laid out, it was time to figure out what they meant. I looked at each card’s picture and started making up stories in my head based on what I’d read about the card meanings. For example, if there was a card with a person walking away, I thought it might mean leaving something behind. Sometimes, the meanings seemed really obvious, but other times, I was scratching my head. I also tried to connect how all the cards in different positions related to each other. It was like trying to solve a big, mysterious riddle.
After I finished interpreting the cards, I sat back and thought about what the whole reading was telling me. It was a really interesting experience, and I felt like I got some new perspectives on my life. Even if it’s not 100% accurate, it’s fun to think about all the possibilities. So, that’s my story of doing a tarot card Celtic Cross reading!
