Back in 2014 my friend Caitlin did a tarot reading with me. I had never interacted with tarot before other than that Home Improvement episode where one of the kids does a reading and draws the Death card and freaks out until somebody explains that tarot isn't real. That was the beginning and end of it for me. So I tried to just give myself over to Caitlin's reading and not be a smartass like I always am. Caitlin told me to close my eyes and breathe deeply and then she would draw a card that would be the tarot's way of seeing me. Like, really seeing me. I closed my eyes and cleared my thoughts and she drew the Queen of Wands. Obviously that meant jack shit to me but as Caitlin explained the meaning of the card I'll admit that I felt something within me stir. The Queen of Wands IS me. Tarot is real because I got a good one. Astrology would also be real if I was a better sign but it blew it by giving me Pisces. Nope. You're fake. But I've privately believed tarot is -on some low vibration- real for almost a decade. So obviously I had to go all out on this card. Of course! The Shish Kebab Express! One of my favorite bits of world building I did on the show. (Don't worry I did the jack off motion as I reread this. But also, whatever. I'm allowed to feel pride.) So I went all out on this card. And you know what? It was hard as shit. I hate this card now. Tarot is fake.
