A Day in the Life of Tarot

Welcome to what a million other wanna be psychics have already started! A daily blog on the Tarot! Yes, I, your humble amateur psychic reader, Jason F. Smith, am begining to learn the Tarot. This weekend I took a class from the esteemed Suzzane Wagner, along with Jennie Stanchfield, and learned all there is to ever know about the Tarot. Well... not exactly. I learned about 17 hours worth. I know. I know! You need 10,000 hours before you are an expert, so at this point, I'm a bit off from the mark. But... hey, it never hurts to start, and why not start with a little confidence? Or at least humor! I hope you enjoy reading my daily blog on the Tarot. I will start with the first card momentarily.

This is how it will work. Every day I will pull one card randomly from the Aleister Crowley Thoth Tarot deck. Then... I will tell you in short a little about the card. THEN... then I will tell you how it applies to me! This might get a bit personal, but then again, if you are going to be good at this crap, you better be willing to face your shadows, much less the shadows in other people. So, that's it in a nut shell.

Oh, I might swear in this blog. That means the f word, and all sorts of things like that. Just a warning. Then again, I might NOT swear, it all depends on the fucking cards I pull.

Oh, one LAST thing before we get started. If you want to comment, feel free! Good and bad, let me know what you are thinking!

Okay! Finally! Here we go! Shuffle! Shuffle! Shuffle! Cut into three piles, then...



If you can't see the picture, then what you aren't seeing is the Ace of Disks. First of all, what do I know of Disks? Money. Earth. Disks are a lot about material stuff, and they are earthy. So what is the Ace of Disks? (Yep, I'm trying to do this without cheating and looking in the book). Hm... Shit. I can't remember. Got to look in the fucking book.

The Ace of Disks represents Spring. The beginning of things. A new beginning perhaps? I'm full of new beginnings. For instance, I sell Magic the Gathering in my game store. A couple months ago the company that makes it, stopped selling to me even though I was one of their biggest sellers. Complicated is that story, so I will skip it, but today they asked if I would like to start selling again. Well... that seems to constitute a NEW BEGINNING, does it not? And it has to do with money, so we aren't too far off here are we?

This card also discusses the concept of balance. If you are in balance, are you then ready to move forth to do something new? This isn't just about getting rich outside, it's about getting rich INSIDE. Are you ready to be rich inside and outside? Are you balanced in all ways in your life? This is like getting all the good in life, the good inside and out. So how does that apply to me? I mean, I felt a lot better today, I was more balanced in work, but I'm not too sure what it means except that I can feel balance returning after yesterday's shaky day. It is time to begin. This makes me think it's about selling Magic the Gathering again.

So are there any warnings? Of course there are. This is the fucking Tarot! Is it possible I want too much? Almost always, no? Yes! Just because we CAN sell Magic the Gathering again, SHOULD I? I think the answer is suddenly yes. But... HOW do we do that? Things have changed since I last did some Magic selling, so maybe I have to be adaptable and ready to play the game differently, no?

Okay, well that kind of applies to me, actually, it really applies to me. Now... a bonus! Let's ask Jennie what SHE thinks the card is about without her looking! Here we go:

Jennie: It is about being dazzled. Somewhere in your life you want be dazzling and dazzled. When you start something new you are excited and dazzled by it. It also has something to do with abundance and wealth! (I think).

Jennie was pretty close, no? Well now that you have read MY blog on the Tarot, go read Jennie's, because I'm sure she has some great things to say about HER card for the day!!!

Now where is that link to Jennie's blog?????
