Today, I was working with my cards in a little coffeeshop, where I hope to start reading in the near future.
One of the baristas/coffee guys/employees kept looking over at my table, in between customers. When there was a lull (after about 30 min of me doing self-readings), he yells, "Are you doing voodoo?"
I paste a (surprised) smile on my face and reply, "No. It's a voodoo tarot, though."
I was curious about his comment, so later on I walked up to him when there was another lull in business.
ME: Why did you think I was doing voodoo? (I figured he'd spied the images on the deck, in which case I was about to compliment him on his sharp vision! ).
HIM: "Oh, when I was in New Orleans, I saw a woman with some cards and when I saw the way you were laying it out, I thought, 'She's doing voodoo!'"
*head in hands*
The look on my face was somewhere between incredulousness and pity.
ME: "No, I don't practice voodoo. But that deck is the New Orleans Voodoo Tarot."
*sigh*
I've heard of tarot misconstrued as many things, but not voodoo (vodun).
Those who know how I think know that I have another thought regarding this matter, but I shall refrain from saying it on the forum.
