Tarot Cards

Have you ever had your tarot cards read? I did many years ago. And that's what I thought I was getting when I went to an event on Sunday. It turned out to be a workshop. We each got to pick our own different deck of cards. Then we meditated. I'm not good at meditating but I think it helped. When I looked at my three cards over and over again I suddenly felt myself get emotional and well up with tears. I was asked to read what my cards meant. Well, I don't have a clue how this stuff works so the "instructor" came over and looked at my cards. The first card hit me hard because it was a woman sitting down, head bent as if crying or depressed, and there was bright angel hovering over her. I immediately thought my dad was watching over me. The second card was a woman looking up into the rays in the sky holding her hands to her heart. I was told she was listening. That I need to listen. And the third card showed a tiny house or village with bright red and orange in the sky which when I looked at it further I thought it looked like a heart. Others saw it but said they also saw a butterfly. I'm still trying to figure out the real message in this reading. I picked a different deck for the next exercise where we pulled one card face down and put our hand on it and concentrated. What did we feel was the card? I just shrugged and said "Nothing". When I looked at the card I laughed. It was a non-entity. It was a combination of different animal parts - bee, wings, tail, etc. and the slogan at the bottom said, "Love being different". The non-entity was why I couldn't detect anything I guess. But I had just put a sweatshirt in the wash that I wore the day before that said Be (a picture of a bee) Different. How ironic was that? Then we broke into groups where we were supposed to read each other. I was not comfortable doing that so I watched as my two friends read each other and then each read me with two different decks. What was quite amazing here was both readings told the EXACT same story. I could even read it myself: Stop looking at the world from the inside (or internet), money will come and travel. My bags are packed and I'm ready to travel alone if I must. How crazy is that? It's exactly what I want so to get the same message twice was really weird. It has taken me a couple of days to process this information, which is why it has taken me so long to write this post. The concern I went in with is that my husband wants to retire to his hometown... away from our children. And I refuse. That last card in the first reading told me the heart is bigger than the home. But what exactly is it TELLING me? That I should follow my heart (which is my kids and not really my husband) or where I live doesn't matter. I'm stumped on that one. Anyway, that was my experience. It was interesting and I would probably do it again. Have you ever experienced tarot card readings?
