My Yes/No Tarot Experiment
Okay, so today felt wild and I needed quick answers, not some big, fancy ritual. My brain was buzzing over a tiny freelance gig offer – take it or leave it? Didn’t have time for a full Celtic Cross spread. Scrambled for my most basic deck, the one that doesn’t need babying.
Here’s exactly what I did:
- Dumped my bag upside down hunting for my mini Rider-Waite deck. Found it under a crumpled receipt.
- Slapped the deck on my messy kitchen counter. Skipped the cleansing smoke stuff. Ain’t nobody got time.
- Just rubbed the cards between my hands real quick, feeling the edges. Focused real hard on my dumb question: “Should I take this gig? Yes or No?” Felt silly, but whatever.
- Shuffled like mad while thinking “yes no yes no.” Cards kinda flew everywhere. One landed under the toaster. Oops.
- Grabbed the single card sticking out awkwardly after my terrible shuffle. Figured that was “the one.”
Turned it over. Bam! The Wheel of Fortune. Right-side up, thank goodness.
Honestly? Didn’t dive deep into symbolism. My quick brain process: “Wheel? Change? Turning? Upward spin? That feels like… YES.” Like, maybe it’s bringing opportunity? Maybe luck’s involved? Went with my gut reaction – a positive “go for it” vibe. Emailed “YES” to the client five minutes later.
Why This Grubby Method Works For Me Now
Used to stress about “doing it right” – lighting candles, meditating for ten minutes, finding the perfect quiet spot. Forget it. This fast pull? It’s messy, it’s unglamorous, it’s literally grabbing the first thing that pops out. But dang, it gets straight to the point when my brain’s scrambled eggs.
- Speedy: Done in under 90 seconds. Toaster didn’t even burn anything.
- No Pressure: Didn’t worry about “misinterpreting.” Went with the first, loudest feeling.
- Decisive: Got that quick gut-check answer needed. Move on.
Is it the “pure” Tarot goddess way? Heck no. But it’s my way for a noisy Tuesday morning when I just need a nudge. Card went back under the toaster? Fine. It’ll show up next time I need a fast answer.
