The Cards We All Fear

The Scary Big Three!

Ah! Yes! The Big Three!

Non-Tarot readers seem to suddenly know everything about tarot when they see these three

They think that the Death card means they are going to die

The Devil card has to do with Satan

And the Tower card…

… Well we should all fear The Tower

… Even if only a little

But each card has its good and its bad

Its ups and its downs

But all normies and newbs seem to see is the downs

If we are going to grow, we must take the good with the bad

So slide $20 cross my palm and let me give you reading

So that you may better understand

Death

The Good One

The one that should inspire hope yet leaves fools to tremble

Death

The happiest change card in the deck

For every ending is a new beginning

It is time for transformation

The old goes out

The new comes in

It’s time to shed what you don’t need

The problem becomes when you fear change

When you resist it

You become stuck in an endless loop

A paradox of your own creation

A time loop of

what if’s

and I should have

and if only

You settle into a depression that devours you from the inside out starting with your soul

Each card has its warnings and this one's is this:

Shed the old welcome the new

Because we all need to transition

For after all there is no life without Death

The Devil

The one that Christians fear

The sexed up

Insecure

Card of downfall

And doubt

He simply means that you are holding yourself back

But that is quite addicting

and so, you get attached

And you blame him

And shame him

Surely it is he that keeps you back

But we all create our own restrictions

We delve down into those dark thoughts and then our shadow self runs wild

Unable to face the blame we must put

A face on our own inner demons

so that we can become

detached

Thus, removing us from the responsibility and so we don’t take action

We keep ourselves from moving forward and blame

the Devil, that we all fear

As we should

because we are him

The Tower

The actual bad one

Even on the cards face

Things are up in flames

As one falls to their death

Abrupt and without warning

Even seeing this card cannot always prepare you for what’s coming

Sudden change is an understatement

Awakening sounds to subdued

Disruption is appropriate

But chaos

Chaos is the word best to be used

Things become upheaved, the truth surges forward

And the world you know crumbles down around you

Disaster strikes and you must remind yourself that it’s all part of the growing process

Through the fire comes the Phoenix

There’s a rainbow after the storm

But this storm is a hurricane or an angry tornado that misses the first house

and the next

and the next

and then come straight for you

But through the tears and the pain know that the guides and the angels are pushing you to better things perhaps even greatness

So try to land on a soft spot

As you fall from the Tower
