For those of us who are tuned in to the signs and symbols constantly around us, it's awesome to notice that tarot is such a remarkable part of our lives. We find the cards playing out in everything from music to memories, resonating from quotes, and sparking the epiphanies that set our days, plans, dreams, and lives.
I'm tagging this phenomena Tarot Life (#TarotLife).
To kickstart this new series I've asked my mentor, Theresa Reed, to share with us a little slice of her Tarot Life, by choosing a tarot card and associating it with a real life memory, quote, song, and affirmation.
Here's Theresa Reed's Tarot Life:
The card: Two of Cups
The memory: I’m a huge believer in love at first sight - and I sometimes see this card as that. In fact, my parents had that very thing and they had a long, happy marriage. So they were a great example of this card in action! I’ll never forget the first time I laid eyes on my husband. That feeling of instant attraction? Yep. In fact, as soon as I saw him stroll into the club, I grabbed my girlfriend and said “Oh my god….that is the guy for me. He’s exactly my type!” Although we didn’t hook up that night (it actually took us five years before we became a couple), I would run into him from time to time and the energy was always flirty and friendly. Finally, we ended up in another club one night when we were both oh-so-single and that was it! We connected over shots of Jagermeister - just like the toasting couple in this card - and have been together ever since.
Quote: “I could not tell you if I loved you the first moment I saw you, or if it was the second or third or fourth. But I remember the first moment I looked at you walking toward me and realized that somehow the rest of the world seemed to vanish when I was with you.” ― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince
Song: “Hello I Love You” by The DoorsAffirmation: I am open to receiving love.
Inspiring, right! Theresa Reed has been my inspiration, teacher, mentor, and friend for over five years. She is the World's Top Tarot Leader and I owe so much of my Tarot Life to her. (Thanks for playing along, T!)
