Tarot Reading & Pagan Discussion With T&D

I’m starting a new organization thing here lately. I’m behind on so many things– to the point of it seeming to be overwhelming. I feel as if I’ve been running 4 or 5 steps behind since late Spring. We’ve been to the point of having some relaxation time finally, but still I keep forgetting all these things I’m supposed to keep track of! Hopefully, my new system will make a difference.

We hung out with Darcy and Tad tonight, sort of enjoying our Friday evening together. I offered to do a “blind tarot reading” on each of them, since I don’t know them very well at all, and its good practice. They were up for it.

It was a strange reading for both– two crucial cards came up in the exact same position in 2 spots, involving “Justice” and the “Queen of Cups.” Justice was the issue card, and Queen of Cups was the “piece of information you need to know” card! Weird, right? Neither of them could think of any issue that matched. So either my reading was WAY off — or something is very recently in the works that hasn’t erupted yet. If it does, it should be pretty freaking obvious. The Queen of Cups is most likely a nurturing female or person of feminine emotional spirit. Apparently, she’ll be behind whatever this “justice” issue is.

If this comes to fruition very soon, I’ll have more respect for my tarot cards! Right now, I’m just all, “Duh-huh?”

After that, it was past sunset and we decided to have a fire in the firepit. We ended up staying up together until almost 11 pm, trading pagan experience stories. What we learned, who we associated with, good and bad incidents. Still plenty of stuff to talk about on that score! Darcy followed a faery trad and liked some writings by the guy who criticized Gardner for his bullshit nudity requirements and stealing ideas from real covens.

It felt good to “talk shop” again, I must admit. I really am thinking about starting something up here soon. If only a pagan prep and/or discussion group for a year or so. I want to tippy toe in and get to know some people pretty well to start before going any further. And this time I’m being more picky than “fair.” This time, if I don’t like a person on a social level, I’m not going to bring them into any future projects with me, period.
