At a craft fair on Saturday, a benefit for youth at risk and sponsored by the locl WAV chapter here (Women Against Violence), I was selling my hats and neckwarmers. I had arranged the day before to have my Tarot cards read; I really liked the fact that the woman doing the readings had old worn cards, copies of the original deck from Medieval times..the real deal...and her demeanor was very open...
I am a bit cautious about the Tarot...I don't do it often, because it can be a very heavy experience emotionally...even good news carries its own burdens. I had a very bad (read: mediocre) reading when I first came to the Island, and wanted to try a more simpatico reader, if I could find one...
This all took place just before the Fair opened, and I'm so happy I took the chance...
A proper reader asks no questions, and tells you the truth: the cards do not predict or tell the future, and the information you receive is something you already know, but perhaps are feeling unsure or unwilling to face...she had an interesting style of laying out the cards, and what the cards indicated was what I needed to hear.
I won't bore any reader with details, but having your ideas and dreams fed back to you in a form that makes sense in your universe is very comforting, even exhilarating...
So glad I did this, and, let's be honest, cheaper and more entertaining by far than a shrink....
I had a reading done once and she said I had two kids and that was enough for me to say bull shit, lol. I don't have any kids.

You don't have two kids yet...I also think that those kinds of statements aren't necessarily to be interpreted literally...you often post about that friend of yours with the kids who spends time with you, and what you've done to help those kids...hmmm?
ReplyDeleteA palmreader told me I would never have children when I was 20, and I thought that was bullshit too...
Like you, I am childless...
I "lost" your other posting when I hit 'publish'...don't you just love Google?
ReplyDeleteBut thanks for coming to my blog and commenting...
LOve the hat!! Too cute! How did the fair go? Did you sell a lot?
ReplyDeleteThe fair went fairly well (ugh, bad pun) and I met many wonderful women, which was nice...I just moved to this area, so need to do some networking here...
ReplyDeleteGuess you recognized, Mama Holli, that the hat is based on yer basic worksock...every year, I do a hat that's a variation of the work sock, sometimes suggesting a monkey, sometimes not...always fun to see people looking at it a if they can't quite put together what it reminds them of..women usually guess before men...probably because they have to wash so many of them!!
I've never had a tarot card reading done but it sounds pretty interesting!
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming by my blog and leaving such a sweet comment!

Yet? What do you mean by yet? My stuff is so old and moldy you would have to blow out the dust and bat away the cob webbs to get to it. It is way past the baby making stage, lol.
