i had such a wonderful night tonight, and i just felt like sharing it with the world... or at least sharing the relevant parts in the relevant places. my friends and i for the first time in a while opened up our true/magical selves and talked tonight. it was a wonderful, giddy feeling. and so needed by all of us. my friend joe's new wife asked me to read her cards. though other people in my group read tarot, i seem to either be the most adept at it or the one who best puts into words what the cards are trying to say. joe asked, however, that if i read for her, i use his deck. this seemed an odd request, but i always respect joe's opinions on issues such as these. so when we got back to his place, he searched out his cards (i've never read with a rider-waite deck before) and they seemed almost excited to talk with me. first thing that struck me as i held them was that they felt like him, both hot and cold, a little bit of everything. when i started reading the cards, it was as if they were trying to talk to him, and i didn't understand a thing. it's odd... he's an empath and reads generally for himself or other empaths... so words don't always need to be involved. so what i was getting from the cards weren't really words. but eventually, with a bit of joe's help, we started talking fluently. i think laura, who didn't want to get too specific, was as satisfied as she could have been without revealing more of herself and asking more specific questions. so that is good. but what struck me as even more wonderful, and why i almost put this post under the past lives spread thread, was my friend jim asked me to try that spread on him. after i read for him, he told me he'd done some past life regression with his therapist, but going into this, i didn't know. apparently, the reading was pretty damned dead on. i focused on two lives he already knew about. it was so odd talking with him about it. so downright amazing. the world and my view of it is changing so fast. i'm loving it. yay life :} and thank you all. this forum has, in its own ways, been a lot of little triggers for me lately... little bits of synchronicity. and i thank you all for that.

Very cool! I'm glad you got a little closer to your friends and had the great feeling of really hitting dead on, on someone's past lives. Amazing feeling huh?! Lin

Sounds great Phirefly! I love that feeling where the cards just sing to you. The first time I used my Robin Wood deck I found that we worked well together... And it is also a great feeling to be able to use tarot as a way of discussing things that might not have been brought up. Get to the depth of the matter at hand, and all... Excellent! :D

Congratulations. I am always blathering about forgetting the “meanings” and listening to the cards. Sounds like you just did. It is a wonderful feeling, would you agree?
