'I’m still on the phone talking to folks about love and hope and desire and dreams. And yet everything is different now.'
I’m a tarot reader. I answer questions for a living. Anything you can think of is a question I’ve heard from my clients over the years, from the mundane to the metaphysical to the far out.What’s my life purpose?
In late April, over the course of a single day, I had three clients call me seeking guidance as they tried to navigate the new reality of love and money and meaning during lockdown. The next card shows two people gazing into each other’s eyes. They are toasting. Their glasses touch. Their hands touch. Looks like a date to me.
The preacher can’t preach, he tells me. At least not in person. He misses the intimacy of gathering, setting up the folding chairs, the choir. He misses each pale Eucharist. He’s widowed, sheltering alone, like Annalise. He tells me this call isn’t for therapy , and reassures me that he’s not gonna ask my most popular question these days: When will things be normal again?My intuition tells me to pull just one card for this question.
The third and last call of the day is Ellen, an essential worker at a warehouse the size of a few football fields. She had emailed to schedule what’s become our regular Thursday session. I was surprised to hear from her because of a recent prediction I’d made for her. My timing was off by about a month.
And for Ellen I did things a little differently. Instead of pulling a few cards at a time and interpreting just those, I’d throw down a whole bunch, a storm of cards, and then put them back in the deck. Throw down, put back, throw down, put back. I was looking for a story.
