Ask the Tarot Queen (NEW Friday Feature)
And the winner is “Ask the Tarot Queen”! (’Cause I can count real good up to, like, uh, ten.) Rocket Scientist put up a good fight, there, mind you, and I’ll be doing that next week, so save up your good science or rocketry or anything else you want to ask me. I’ll be fielding them the end of next week.
Yes, I’m making this a regular feature. I love doing these. OK, here’s how the “Ask the …” work in general. You, the reader/commenter pose questions and I answer them to the best of my abilities. I can be anyone. I can be any one of the facets of myself: rocket scientist, researcher, mother, character in one of my novels and/or short stories. Or I can channel one of my children or another perspective I think might be interesting to ask questions of. Mostly, it will depend on my mood. Sometimes, it will be funny. Sometimes, it will be serious and factual. I gotta lot of facets so no one knows what they’ll get. Every once in a while, I might ask for input again for the kind of “Ask the …” article you’d like to see.
Now, when it comes to tarot, I make no claims to psychic powers. I’m not precognitive. That, in several instances the cards seemed to be precognitive, I can take no credit for. I taught myself tarot as research for some short stories (which are part of a series I haven’t completed. You can read three that I have finished here on my website .) However, when I do readings, I try to answer the question posed as well as I can. I use “Tarot of the Cat People” cards but I have researched and found my own list of meanings from several different sources.
Now, some rules I have for me. I will always tell you the “truth,” i.e. what I’m reading in the cards. Good news or bad, I’ll tell you “what they say.” So be prepared.
Also, for your own good, it’s best to avoid yes/no questions and to ask a question. I can do general readings, but, unfortunately, the more general the reading, the harder it is to determine what aspects of one’s life the cards are describing. They can readily point out a particular small event, aspect, or person, or they can be all encompassing. No way to know for sure.
So, I’ve got my cards handy and I’m ready for questions. Here’s your chance for a free reading from The Tarot Queen.
(Don’t forget to think up cool questions for the Rocket Scientist next week). I’m up for it. Ask kids you know if you don’t know any good questions…
This is really quite fascinating, Steph.
lol flit..nah..I think I’ll hold on to that one!
Okay, since everyone else is doing it, and I have a lot on my mind, I’ll ask a question. Since you know me, though, this might actually be a hard one to answer. Our brother, sister-in-law, and sister came yesterday. And I was struck by the distance I feel with them, by my own lack of trust.
Yet I know I tend to distrust people in general, especially those who have hurt me, and turn away from them, usually permanently. I am not a forgiving soul, it seems.
My question is, is this a character flaw, one that will hurt me long term, or is it necessary to my well-being, to protect myself and my family from further pain and suffering?
If you can’t answer it, that’s okay. I just thought I’d give it a shot.
The baby was very cute… the spitting image of our father… something they kept saying, over an over, unfortunately.
Thanks for the reading. I think, perhaps, they may be trustworthy, but they come with so much other baggage, and I don’t want the baggage. Even if they do not hurt, their associations do hurt. And though the pain has led to much of my writing, I don’t know that I need constant reminders to draw upon it.
It’s a sad situation. Thanks for taking time with it.
