The Card Lover

I thought that I would do a 3 card draw with the playing cards today. I LOVE this deck – I’m addicted to the art! It’s Les Chevaliers de la Table Ronde (Knights of the Round Table). Bee sent them to me as a thank you from Somerville’s, along with another nifty Swedish deck which I’ll show on this blog too. Thanks Bee

Now, I cringed when I saw what I had drawn, and wondered whether to post it or not…but the truth is, it’s not the first message of it’s kind that I’ve been getting lately, so I thought I should just go ahead and document it and see what happens.

 If you click on the photo, you’ll be able to see the Queen’s artwork better -

**The 2 of Spades can bring bad news; it can also refer to restriction or feeling stuck (similar to the 2 of Swords in the Tarot). It can also indicate a break up, or a loss, or a separation.

**The 5 of Swords isn’t much better! it is an emotional card of anger and loss…it’s a severing of ties, a divorce, being alone, lots of pain, tears, grief… The loss of a loved one.

** and the Queen of Hearts describes the woman who is going through all this pain and loss! I’m not usually the Queen of Hearts, unless it’s in my husband’s reading as his “significant other.” This looks like it’s referring to a kind, nurturing woman whose family oriented…I have an idea of who it is to be honest, but I can think of at least 3 Queen of Hearts who are friends of mine.

These cards are basically warning me that there is bad news coming, of a loss for this Queen, one that is filled with upset. I have been having dreams about this as well, so it’s my first inclination that there is going to be a passing soon – hope I’m wrong!! the dreams have been awfully clear though-

or, one other thought; the Queen of Hearts can represent intuition/receptivity; so it may represent my intuitions or gut feelings that there’s about to be sad news…. not quite sure on that..

Trying to lighten the mood, I decided to pull a card from my Conversations with God (Neal Donald Walsh), thinking that it would make it better….and this is what I drew!!!  :

HA! lol – didn’t help matters! lol  but it’s certainly the appropiate card for me at this time. If and when the sh** hits the fan, I will remember this quote.

You know, I can’t help but wonder if I should be looking at the Angel of Death card just a bit differently from yesterday…. yikes.
