LOL! As you probably well know you can say almost anything down here and get away with it as long as you include that phrase. :) I smiled too at your description of Tarot cards being considered "Devil's work." I read both Tarot (not well) and Runes and get a lot of that too. Though here in Texas I have also had a lot of clients who are devout Catholics who regularly get their cards or Runes read and see nothing incongruent in that. I find that my Hispanic clients are usually much better at integrating these two forms of spiritual experience. "the answers are all around us. And that’s because everything around us simply reflects the energy that is within us, all the answers are within us" ...EXACTLY! :) DOVE: “Bless his heart”…Oh my God, you really do live in the South!

“the answers are all around us. And that’s because everything around us simply reflects the energy that is within us, all the answers are within us” …EXACTLY! :)

I was at my previous "regular" job (also as a receptionist) and a co-worker's wife had died. I had just some regular playing cards at my desk (they correspond with the Tarot -- but there are so many ways to get anwers) and I pulled a card to see how he was doing. I drew the King of Spades (Swords in the Tarot) and thought, ah, he's trying to be strong. Then I asked, "What's under that?" and drew the 10 of Spades. That card was showing that he felt like a failure... Some other co-workers had gone to the funeral with him. Note, none of them knew about my Tarot thing. This is the South, that's "Devil's work" per most people around here. They would see me playing with the cards, thinking I was playing solitaire :) I couldn't resist asking one co-worker how he was doing (she'd gone to the funeral) to see how accurate my cards were. Before she could answer, I said, "I bet he's trying to be strong." She quietly said, "Yeah." And then I said, "But I bet he feels like a failure." Her head jerked around towards me, a little shocked, and said strongly, "Yes, he kept saying that...that he felt like such a failure." Her alcoholism had killed her, and he felt he should have done something to stop her from drinking. I just said, "Bless his heart." Yep, Tarot cards, playing cards, tea leaves, clouds, whatever -- the answers are all around us. And that's because everything around us simply reflects the energy that is within us, all the answers are within us. Peace, Dove That brings to mind an experience I had a few years ago.

To actually hear the same words you read come out of another person's mouth must be a wonderfully affirming experience. I think that we can all find form of divination that work that well for us. Its just a matter of putting enough of our own energy and faith into the process. Thanks for sharing! samantha: How cool that stichomancy works so well for you!

It is especially accurate for me if I want to find out how someone feels about me or a situation. I have had the experience of asking a book about how someone feels and the person later using the exact phrase to me about me or a situation. Strange....

I do this book thing all the time, it's one of my favorite ways to find answers...but I feel a resistance to doing it so rigidly, I always let the answers jump out at me. But we'll see how I feel in the moment :) I'm at work right now, no good books around, and I'll be super busy for the next coupla days, but maybe I can do this sometime next week.
