Okay, so today I want to talk about this whole 8 of Swords tarot thing I tried out. It’s been on my mind, and I figured, why not give it a shot and see what the fuss is all about?
First off, I got myself a tarot deck. It felt a bit weird at first, holding these cards, you know? But I went with it. I found a quiet spot in my house, away from all the noise, and just sat down with the cards. I shuffled them, like I saw in some guide online. Not gonna lie, I wasn’t sure what I was doing, but I just focused on, well, nothing specific, just clearing my head, I guess.
Get Started
Then, I spread the cards out. No clue what pattern to use, so I just laid them out in a few rows. I picked eight cards, randomly. One of them was the “8 of Swords”. I remembered reading somewhere that it’s about feeling trapped and having these self-made limits. And boy, did that hit home. It’s like, sometimes I know I’m the one holding myself back, but seeing it in a card like that, it just made it more… real, you know?
- Shuffle the cards. Just mix them up good.
- Spread them out. No fancy method here, just lay them out.
- Pick your cards. I went with eight because, well, the 8 of Swords was what I was curious about.
- Look up the meanings. I used some online guides to figure out what each card meant.
Dive in Deep
I spent some time, just thinking about what this card could mean for me. This “trapped” feeling, these “limits” I put on myself. It got me thinking about my fears, the mental blocks I have. It was a bit uncomfortable, to be honest, facing these things head-on. But it was also kind of freeing, in a weird way. Like, recognizing these things is the first step to getting past them, right?
What I Think
So, the 8 of Swords, it showed me that I’m often the one creating my own obstacles. Yeah, it’s tough to admit, but it’s true. This whole tarot thing, it’s not about predicting the future or whatever. It felt more like a mirror, showing me parts of myself I don’t always pay attention to.
I didn’t find some magic solution to all my problems. But I did get a new perspective. And that’s something. I realized that I have the power to change how I see things. It’s not easy, and it’s not going to happen overnight. But just knowing that I can shift my perspective, that’s huge for me. I thought about the “Leo” and “Sun” stuff I read, you know, about power and energy. That card is not just about limitations, but also about power and energy. I think I’ve been focusing too much on the limitations and not enough on my own power to change things. It’s like, I have this energy, this courage inside me, but I’ve been ignoring it. This whole tarot experience, it reminded me that I have that strength. It’s about recognizing that power and not letting fear hold me back. I think I realized that I need to tap into that power, that “Leo” energy, more often. It’s about taking action, not just thinking about it. And that card about relationships, the “Lovers” card, I also drew it. I know it’s about choices. I thought that it is not about just finding love or whatever, but about making choices that are good for me. It’s about choosing to move forward, to not stay trapped. It’s all connected, you know? My choices, my fears, my power. Also the “Spades = Swords in Tarot”, means thoughts and communication, it reminded me to be mindful of my thoughts. They can trap me, but they can also set me free. It’s about choosing to think differently, to communicate with myself and others in a way that’s empowering, not limiting.
I’m still figuring things out. But this little experiment, it opened my eyes a bit. I’m not saying I’m going to become a tarot expert or anything. But I think I’ll keep doing this, every now and then. It’s a way to check in with myself, to see what’s going on inside that I might be ignoring. This is just a reminder that I’m the one in control of my reality. If I’m feeling trapped, it’s up to me to find a way out. It’s not going to be easy, but at least now I know where to start.
And hey, if you’re feeling stuck or lost, maybe give it a try. It might not be your cup of tea, but you never know what you might find out about yourself. It’s a journey, and it’s different for everyone. But for me, it was definitely worth it.
