GUIDANCE    We are looking for our lost shaker of salt here. We don’t know whether we’re on the right, or the wrong, track. We could be a sinner in search of we-know-not what. We could be sobering up and wondering what awful scene we were in. We could have been prescribed the wrong meds. We could have done wrong when we knew to do right. Maybe we are looking for the guilty party. We could even be shaking our heads at our foolish friend’s blunder, wondering why some old person is hateful, or taking a good look at some twisted weirdo. It’s so difficult for a dummy like me to wise up! Today our stores come complete with question marks.

.

Are YOU here for the first time? Come in!

People love this place! Our site is divided into four sections: Guidance, Tarot Readings, Learn Tarot by Observation, and Learn Tarot by Pictures.

These readings are about you and the people around you.  They are about today and the days around it. So, go ahead and pick the sentences you feel are yours and decide whether to encourage or reject them for yourself.

Tarot Readings: Taking a Good Look at a Bad Scene (Moon and Hermit)

Sometimes when you’re lost you’re on the right track.

How can I be so wrong when I know so much?

How could I go so wrong when I was looking where I was going?

You feel silly when you have gone the wrong way, and you find the right way.

You go straight, and you see how stupid the drug made you.

Now that you’ve sobered up, you wonder just how messed-up you were.

We just assume we know right from wrong, don’t we?

Lies are masquerading as facts here.

When you’re fucked-up, you can’t believe what’s real.

Whether it’s right or whether it’s wrong, it doesn’t make sense.

Feeling condemned and wondering about a religious path.

Wiser now, I look back at the mess I was.

…..…..

Tarot Readings:  Whaddya Know? (Hermit and Page of Cups)

Take a good look at this twisted weirdo.

I see what a dumb mistake that was.

There’s an investigation, and I think I’m in hot water.

Finding dark humor in the situation.

Why oh why did I offer to help this person in trouble?

My foolish friend, you have gone so wrong.

…..…..

Tarot Readings: Lost and Looking (Moon and Hermit)

I’m looking for something I lost.

So why was I looking in all the wrong places?

Where’s the mistake? – I’m looking for it.

A really weird bad dream has you searching for the meaning.

Where am I? – I’m lost and looking for the way.

Looking for the guilty party, are you?

…..…..

Tarot Readings: How Bad Can It Get? (Moon and Page of Cups)

A study of unreasoning hate.

When the truth is horrible, we doubt it.

What makes a person old and sick?

So difficult for a dummy to wise up.

Unknown hazards on this road at night in winter.

How can you be so calm when things are so wrong?

Why go on foot in such a bad place?

The doctor is an idiot – so very totally wrong.

.

Now, Part Two,

Do you want to know a little, or a lot, about how this Tarot Verbatim™ thing works? If so,

*Go to Learn Tarot by Observing section below. This tells about the combined meanings of the three cards in the pictures in the Tarot Readings.  It explains how these cards get together in your mind to make the messages. HERE ARE PHRASES FOR ALL THREE 2-CARD COMBINATIONS is a stream-of-consciousness bridge to your subconscious if you use it regularly – people report.

*Go to Learn Tarot by Pictures.  It is what each of the cards, by itself, has to say.  It shows you how that illustration makes that card’s meanings in today’s Spread. All the words of each Tarot card reading you see here are a phrase-by-phrase translation of the scene pictured on those cards: no filler, no psychic impressions, no spirit guide. Word-for-word Tarot Verbatim™.

You can put all this together and intuitively see yourself how Tarot Verbatim™ works.

This is a group reading, with no Questioner and no Question to limit what the cards say, so there’s more variety – even contradictions – than a personal reading would give you. Also, pronouns are flexible: If the sentence feels like it’s yours, and it says ‘he,’ but you’re a ‘she,’ well, it’s yours.

*AND if you write names of any two cards into the Google search bar, it will give you meanings of those!

Moon – Hermit – Page of Cups

.

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING

………………………   Hermit makes sense, is wise, is on the right track or path. Moon is wrong. Page of Cups, you wonder. Moon is a lie; Hermit is the truth; Page of Cups doesn’t get it anyway. Right or wrong, it’s weird. Hermit is on the path – the sane and right track – and Moon is the wrong way, is crazy; Page of Cups wonders which is which. How could I go so wrong when I am so right? We find ourselves in a quandary, scratching our heads.

…………………………..    Moon has the ‘worst card in the deck’ reputation, and that’s across decks. To me, Moon has too much ‘redeeming social value’ to be that pornographic, you know? I would rather see Moon than Seven or Ten of Swords, any day. Moon’s reputation grows out of its being the road to perdition (hell), evidenced by those two towers which are exactly that in more than one esoteric myth. In a swamp is a crooked road a lobster is embarking upon, flanked by a coyote and dog, natural enemies, palling together: Things are messed up. Moon’s most common word is ‘wrong’ and its synonyms. It means evil and dirty and sordid and perverted and hateful, and all the things you would expect the road to hell to mean. Today, with Hermit as a religious path, and a question mark, it’s a sinner looking for the way. Note that both Hermit and Moon are night scenes, and both are about being on the road. Both Moon and Page of Cups describe a person as a mess.

…………………………..    Hermit is on the road, and he is looking, of course, at the road to hell – but he is on the right path, is honest, genuine, and represents the truth and the right way. You could take most of the meanings of each of these cards and pair them as diametrical opposites. You have right and wrong with Hermit and Moon, so you have stories – especially with the other card being open to question. Both Hermit and Moon are night scenes, and both are about a road.

…………………………..    Page of Cups is a ‘Duh’ card, meaning he wonders and ponders. Page of Cups means goofy, silly, awkward, weird or a weirdo. And Page of Cups is a walking breathing question mark. He means doubt as today he is juxtaposed between being right (on the right track or path, the spiritual path) and being wrong (on the wrong track or path, the evil way or road to hell). Both Moon and Page of Cups describe a person as a mess.

Brainstorm here: Got an idea to put the full sentences, with the names of the cards that supply each phrase, instead of three sets that identify a pair of cards’ meanings – because then you have the whole thing, instead of parts with blanks. The two-card phrases are already over there in their own bin. Let me know how this works for you. (I keep improving this blog as time goes by. I look at its humble beginnings and marvel.) So here you go:

Times in everyone’s life of being marooned in a masquerade, of even being stuck in stupid as we wonder which end is up because we didn’t read the labels. Hope this has happened to you already. Can’t tell right from wrong. Feel lost when we are on the right track, or feel we are on the right track when we are lost. Where oh where are the road signs, if we can even read? At such times, we long for the hindsight of 20/20 retrospect as our foresight and our insight fail us.

LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES

.

Moon  ………..    Things go wrong, things go kerflooey … or maybe we just thought they did, and it turned out it was we ourselves who were upside-down and the world was sober after all. Don’t you hate that? Moon pictures those delusional and illusional times. Moon is the meanderings of lost souls. It is the wrong path as Ace of Pentacles is the right path. Moon means wrong – its most common translate, along with ‘mistake.’ The towers in it are of ill repute as markers of the entrance to hell at the ends of the earth in more than one myth. Remember, the ends of the earth were once very real. Moon is fear and hate and sickness and insanity … anything you don’t want to experience. It has some lighter applications too, but not today, so we won’t go into them.

.

Hermit………….   Hermit is searching, but he is wise already as to both the facts and the truth – and that is wise indeed! He is a monk and a doctor, which brings him a lot of applications we don’t use much today. Today he is all about being on the right path and looking for something. Hermit is famous for being helpful, being a friend, being monogamous or celibate, being sober and calm.

.

Page of Cups  ………….  Page of Cups, I dunno, it makes you wonder, what’s up anyway? Your awkward moments when you don’t know how to act, what to say, are Page of Cups moments. Those times when you question everything are another kind of Page of Cups moment. Those times when the situation is one big question mark. Page of Cups instructs you to put your spread into question form, very commonly.
