The Lessons I’ve Learned Through the Cards
Reading Time: 3 – 3.5 minutes
The knowledge I have about interpreting the cards comes from years of reading them for myself.
A little bit of context:
I started by doing readings for others, and in the beginning, my readings were focused on prediction because that’s what the little booklet that came with the cards taught. So, I followed the instructions.
That’s when I learned to trust the practice of reading the cards.
The people I read for started telling me that what I had predicted had happened. So, me being me, my reaction was, “This is SO COOL!” — and my journey began!
Fast forward to two years later, after I had gained solid knowledge of the cards’ meanings, I was stunned by how accurate these readings could be. That’s when I began reading for myself.
This time, however, I decided to approach them differently. I wanted to allow the Universe to speak to me freely and tell me what I most needed to know at that time.
I felt like I should start using the cards as a way to have “conversations” with the spirit world, and that’s when everything changed for me.
This is what the cards taught me:
Self-awareness
Self-awareness is a big one! The cards have a beautiful way of mirroring how we feel and revealing our limiting beliefs. They help us detect unhelpful thinking patterns and guide us to see ourselves and life in a new light.
We are not alone
I cannot believe we are alone after all these years of using the cards, I just can’t.
Do I know exactly who is answering and guiding me? The answer is more complex than a simple yes or no. But, yes… and no.
No, because I’ve never really experienced anything paranormal with my five physical senses (thank God, because I truly believe I would be at risk of having a heart attack 😅). But yes, because I’ve experienced so many moments that feel like pure synchronistic magic.
The way the cards that fall out of the deck mirror my feelings and what’s happening around me; the way they show me perspectives that just make sense and help me give meaning to my circumstances; the way they help me see the lesson behind certain experiences; the way they confirm what I already know… and so much more.
I believe the world is a magical place because of the relationship I have with the spirit world through the cards.
Specific answers aren’t always available
Guidance and help are always there for us, but the answers to all our specific questions may not always come through a card reading. At least, that hasn’t been my experience with the cards, and I don’t force answers.
I’ve learned that sometimes we need to figure things out for ourselves. To do that, we need to experience life fully and trust that we’ll get there in time.
When the specific answers we seek don’t come, it’s because we’re meant to find them out eventually, but not just yet.
Tough Love
The message can be in form of tough love.
The messages we receive can sometimes challenge us. They often refer to situations we tend to avoid or resist in real life. When the Universe forces us to look at something we don’t want to face, it can feel difficult. But in my experience, it’s worth trusting the guidance and stepping out of our comfort zones.
And the Universe is extremely patient. We can always take our time.
Self-worth and Self-love
I believe this is what the Universe preaches most. It’s always pointing us inward, encouraging us to connect deeply with ourselves and to learn to love, care for, and respect ourselves in ways we once thought were selfish or wrong.
The Universe wants us to truly love and care for ourselves because that’s the only way we can live a happy life. And happy people have the power to transform the world into a happier place.
