  2. An interesting tarot card — I love the one you used here — and your suggestions for interpretation are broad, like a tarot reading can be. Or narrowed, with specific insights the tarot reader might have/get.
    I haven’t been “playing along,” but I’ve found the cards, and folks’ responses fascinating.
    It’s been years, and years, and years since I had anything to do with tarot cards. These prompts have brought back some strange and intriguing memories.

    • Why not share some of those memories? I had a tarot deck in high school and I remember I was so excited to get it, the cards were stunningly beautiful but I kept seeing this image of black smoke coming up from them in my mind, it became quite overpowering after a while so I gave them away (after informing the person of my experience of course).
