Greetings All,
I used my Wicca Plus App today to help me with a real-world problem.
I need some extra money for emergency car repair. I have access to affordable loans through my works' 401K savings. I woke up this morning thinking I could just borrow $500 bucks from my retirement fund.
It'll be easy. I won't even notice it on my paycheck.
Then I decided to calm down and think about it some more. Tarot cards help me think. So I did a simple "card of the day" meditation with my regular deck. I drew the Seven of Cups. I looked up its meaning and it seemed very appropriate. "Dreams, Visions, illusion and Deception" is what my book told me.
I considered this more on the way to work. When I got to work I realized I had better think this through - don't assume this dream of a quick $500 will come true easy.
I pulled out Wicca Plus to confirm my suspicions. Yep. There it was again: "Fantasy, Illusion, Daydreams, Unrealistic Attitudes, etc."
The happy ending to this story is I did more research, came up with a way to pay off another debt and STILL get more money for the car. In fact, I hope to even pay less money out to re-pay the loan.
To me, the Tarot promises calm, reflective thinking about real-world problems. I do not believe the Tarot can "see the future". I do believe it forces the user to consider all options he/she may not have thought of before - it taps into subconscious and reminds you of other options. Wonderful stuff.
