My children were less than thrilled, to say the least, when they discovered I had visited a tarot card reader. Being a logical and analytical bunch, they are the first to bring up statistics, reminding me that coincidences are merely to be expected and that anomalies have explanations. I had attempted to keep my visit under wraps, sneaking around my small town, but fate had other plans, and I eventually had to come clean.
To offer a bit of context, my fascination with the mystical has deep roots. Ever since I learned to read, I was captivated by a little run-down house on a hill adorned with the sign “Fortune’s Read.” It always caught my eye during busy days when my mom opted for a shortcut to avoid the main traffic light.
When my parents took me to the County Farmers’ Fair, I often spotted a fortune-telling booth next to the pie stand, but I knew better than to ask them about it, even though a mere curtain separated me from discovering my fate. I would pause, trying to sneak a glimpse at the woman inside while my mom guided me toward the handmade quilts, saying, “Aren’t they something?” My thoughts were elsewhere, contemplating the deeper mysteries of life.
I believed there were places where answers to life’s uncertainties could be found, yet I was raised in a practical household that prioritized chores over mystical insights. My family, deeply rooted in realism, canned vegetables in their spare time, while I yearned for something more ethereal.
Finally, as a teenager with a bit of pocket money, I convinced a few friends to join me at a palm reader’s booth on the boardwalk. I held my breath as I placed my hand in hers, heart racing. Would she reveal whether I would live a long life? As she traced my lines, I listened intently, jotting down her predictions and storing them away for safekeeping. She assured me I would reach an old age. That was reassuring for a time.
Years later, I find myself grappling with the same uncertainties. I had assumed that once I understood life’s big questions—love, family, and purpose—peace would follow. But, alas, that was not the case.
Recently, during a walk with a friend who shares my belief in serendipitous coincidences, she mentioned that the local tarot card reader was back in town. Intrigued, I felt compelled to seek answers about my current direction in life. If the tarot cards could provide insights, I thought it was worth a try.
I made an appointment, discreetly marking it with initials on our family calendar—my way of avoiding any potential ridicule. On the day of my appointment, as I parked across the street, I noticed a man in a suit leaving the building. His presence comforted me, momentarily easing my doubts about needing guidance.
Seated across from a young man with delicate features, I shuffled the cards and spread them out. He offered me the option to record our session, which I found reassuring. My heart raced as he described the influences shaping my life. When he asked if I had any questions, I mustered the courage to ask about my life’s purpose. I wanted clarity; time felt limited.
He spoke of the moon and how it was an auspicious moment to seek answers from the universe. I listened closely, eager to know how I should articulate my desires. My analytical upbringing kicked in as I sought precise wording for my requests. He patiently guided me through it.
With his instructions recorded, I left the session feeling empowered. At home, I crafted my seven requests for the universe, a number he had suggested. I typed them out to avoid any confusion.
Holding my list, I hesitated—where should I send these requests? Just then, my youngest child burst through my door and found my draft. As he began to read it aloud, I snatched it from his hands, trying to suppress my laughter and panic. The commotion soon attracted my other children, who demanded an explanation. Feeling overwhelmed, I shut my door for some privacy.
Undeterred, I decided to place my list on top of my dresser, near the window—what I believed to be closest to the universe. I waited patiently and reviewed my intentions daily, living more purposefully. Remarkably, within a week, I experienced an event that felt eerily like a prophecy, reinforcing my belief that it was no coincidence. I eagerly shared this with my children.
I hope they too can embrace the idea that a bit of magic exists in the world. Perhaps when we openly express our intentions, we align ourselves with the universe in a way that opens new doors. While skeptics might argue that my fortunes shifted due to my own determination, and perhaps they are right, it’s lovely to consider the possibility of magic.
In summary, embracing a little enchantment can foster a deeper connection to our intentions and a greater understanding of our paths in life. Whether it’s through tarot, astrology, or simply expressing our desires, this journey might just hold the key to unlocking the potential we all possess.
