Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this Tarot thing for a while now, and let me tell you, the Dos de Espadas card, or the Two of Swords, keeps popping up. It’s kind of a mind-bender, you know?
First off, I got myself a deck, a classic one, like the Tarot de Marseille. It’s got these two swords crossing each other, which already looks intense. When I first saw it, I was like, “What’s this, some kind of duel?” But it’s way deeper than that.
I started pulling cards just to see what would happen, and the Two of Swords showed up more than a few times. I read up on it, and people say it’s about making tough choices. It’s not just about picking between chocolate and vanilla, it’s like, life-altering decisions. I felt that. I’ve been at a few crossroads lately, nothing too crazy, but enough to make me think.
- The Setup: Every time I shuffled and drew, I tried to clear my head. It’s like, you can’t just ask the cards anything without being in the right headspace.
- The Draw: Pulling the Two of Swords felt heavy. It wasn’t scary, but it made me pause. I’d stare at those crossed swords and think about the stuff I was putting off.
- The Reflection: This is where it got real. I started journaling about what I thought the card meant for me. Did it mean I was avoiding something? Was I scared to make a move?
I talked to a few friends who are into this stuff, and they gave me some tips. They said to look at the card’s position, whether it’s upright or reversed. Upright, it’s like a call to face your dilemmas head-on. Reversed, it could mean you’re stuck, maybe even in denial about needing to make a decision.
And you know what, after using it for a while, I’ve learned this card is not the bad guy. People online were saying stuff like, “The 10 of Swords is the card most likely to predict a death,” and I was freaking out a little. But the Two of Swords? It was just telling me to think and not rush, it’s not the death card.
So, I kept at it. I’d do these little readings for myself, focusing on specific questions or just general vibes for the day. The Two of Swords became like a signal. When it showed up, I knew it was time to sit down and really think about what I was doing and where I was going. But this card is all about the present, it’s about now.
I’m no expert, and I’m definitely not trying to predict the future or anything. But working with the Two of Swords has been kind of enlightening. It’s like having a mirror held up to your inner conflicts and being told, “Hey, it’s time to deal with this.”
So, yeah, that’s my experience with the Dos de Espadas. It’s been a trip, and I’m still learning. But I wanted to share because it’s helped me, in a weird way, to be more mindful about the choices I’m making. Who knew two crossed swords could be so thought-provoking?
