Ok, so last night, I read my future with this Oracle Deck I got a while ago. It came with the "Essential Guide to Astrology" or something. Anywayz, I'm trying to make it sort of a tradition to read my future with that every new year, and I have Chinese fortune sticks for the Chinese new year. (I did it last night for 2 reasons: I was at a party on New Years Eve, and last night was a full moon.) This year I used a simplified Celtic Cross layout. Then, I was reading "The Book of Divination" by Ann Fiery (and I reccomend it if you're into things like that) and the section on tarot cards. Never before had I noticed that there was the original (or, close to original) Celtic Cross layout. So I did that and wow. It made a whole lot more sense than the simplified. Then, I thought "Hm. This layout was made for tarot cards, right?? And the book shows every 78 cards and their meaning with tarot cards. Maybe I could try to make my own tarot cards and see how they turn out!!! (because my parents have a tendency to be suspicious...or maybe it's just me)". So I spent the rest of the evening cutting index cards (who's original purpose was to be notecards for a National History Day project coming up...but I don't care about that. I haven't gotten anywhere over break, anyway, and I'm probably gonna have some 1st grade crap to show. That whole thing is a waste of time.) in half and "studying", kind of, the suits and numbers and faces. Well, I have the suits and faces down, those were easy. This whole divination thing really makes sense. Not rocket science. The people who invented it long long ago had nothing but common sense. Of course the cup means water!!! Of course water is blue!!! Of course blue is tranquil!!! Yes, dreaming of scissors or knives means something being separated!!! Ten is the "complete number" for one reason...BECAUSE WE HAVE 10 FINGERS!!! Thus, 9 represents the last step/test to get to that completeness, and 5 is the midway point (it's also the masculine 3 and feminine 2 put together). 2 is a balance of one and it's "opposing force"!!!! 7 has always been a mystical number!!! This is not rocket science!!!!!! And then, we come to the major arcana (the 56 suits and faces and numbers are all in the minor arcana the other 22, more popular, major arcana) and...seriously. Some are sorta cryptic, but they make sense if you spend enough time thinking about it. And I have. I haven't gotten this far in my self-teaching yet, but I'm sure this is going to be pretty easy to interpert. Especially with a brain like this!!! xp Yeah. Just so you know. This is how I waste my time anymore, (that and gaia) and I say it's healthier than playing Freecell for hours straight. I also use those Chinese Juggling sticks/"devil sticks" I once heard them being called.
PS: I'm getting a haircut today. I hope I don't return to school looking like a freak, like back in 5th grade. My hair was the kind of "flowing-down-your-back/run-your-hands-through luxurious" and I loved it. Then I got it cut to above the shoulders and I looked like a boy for the next year. Or, I thought I did. That was the biggest mistake in my life, appearence-wise. Now I know not to take fashion or hair advice from my sister ever again.
