So this morning I was thinking about tarot cards while sipping my coffee. Thought it’d be fun to figure out which ones actually make you go “whoa” when they pop up. Always thought this stuff was just for hippies or something, but nope – turns out they’re pretty wild once you actually play with ’em.
Where I Started
First I dug out my mom’s old dusty tarot deck from the closet. Threw it on the kitchen table next to my cold coffee mug. Didn’t even remember how to shuffle properly, kept dropping cards everywhere. Honestly felt like trying to shuffle a slippery fish. Finally managed a crappy spread where cards went flying under the fridge. Predictable start.
The Real Messy Part
Started pulling random cards while Googling meanings on my phone. Spilled tea on The Fool card immediately – guess that was fitting. Made a huge mistake trying to do three-card spreads without even knowing the positions. Thought The Tower meant I’d literally fall off my chair. Spoiler: I didn’t. Then The Hermit showed up looking like Gandalf – no idea if I should call my grandma or start meditating.

Top picks that actually made my eyebrows hit the ceiling:
- The Tower: Lightning hitting a building? Thought my WiFi router was gonna explode at first. Actually means life suddenly flipping upside down.
- Death card: Scariest looking one in the deck, no contest. But apparently doesn’t mean death? Total bait. Just signals big changes coming.
- The Devil: That creepy goat guy chaining naked people? Freaked me out till I read it’s about bad habits or toxic relationships.
- 10 of Swords: Dude got stabbed in the back ten times? Brutal. But it’s basically rock bottom – means only way is up now.
What Actually Went Down
After wasting half my afternoon, my sister randomly called yelling about her car breaking down. Pulled The Tower card again that same night. Freaky coincidence or what? Almost choked on my chips. Didn’t see that coming when I started messing with cardboard pictures this morning. Still don’t believe this stuff predicts anything, but man these cards have wild backstories.
Final takeaway? Tarot cards are like weird little mirrors. Pull The Devil and suddenly you’re thinking about that job you hate. Death card makes you realize you’re still pissed about that canceled vacation. Spooky how your brain connects dots even when you’re just flipping cardboard.
