I love Tarot. It goes hand in hand with my beliefs, since I am Wiccan. I know, I know, cliché, but I've been practicing since my late twenties, and am now 36. I'm not just in it for the black, witchy clothes :)
It's taken me a long time to find a deck that draws me. I did have a deck that I quite liked, but it was stolen from me in a break up gone bad, many years ago. So I've waited. I thought I might have to get one that I was sort of okay with, but then I found this one:
It is so beautifully drawn; the artwork is splendid. It definitely was drawing me to it. My spouse purchased it for me, for the Yule/Christmas holidays. So pleased with this deck. If you're into tarot, this is something you should check it out.
I try to do a daily draw, each day. Just one card, to meditate upon. Sometimes I ask a question, or have a specific idea in mind when shuffling and drawing the cards.
Due to some unpleasant things happening with my son at his nursery, I had been contemplating homeschooling both him and his wee sister. I was truly excited about the prospect, at first. Then the worries began. One worry was on my mind when I drew this card:
The Hermit, reversed. My fear realised.
I am an introvert; being alone and house bound is not new to me, and I quite like it. But this....this was a fear I had, and I believe that I would, indeed, become a hermit. I like being able to choose when or if I leave the house. I need that freedom. But homeschooling...it would undoubtedly take that choice from me. Instead of looking forward to giving my children their education, and concentrating on the exciting things we can do, my biggest fear is becoming imprisoned in my home. I'm afraid of regretting my decision.
Things seem to improving at school, so that decision does not have to be made immediately. Thankfully.
