The Tower - I am only human

The druidcraft tarot The Tower
Yesterday morning I drew The Tower from the Druidcraft Tarot as my focus card for my daily Lenormand reading.  Not the most favorable card for a daily draw. The question I derived from this card was: What will shock me and/or undermine my confidence in an abrupt way?
From the Celtic Lenormand I pulled: cross, ring and clouds. I see cross and ring as a commitment to my spirituality. All my cards together looked like a rather unsuspected and emotional test of my spiritual beliefs. Again nothing too look forward to…
The day went by and nothing happened and honestly I totally forgot all about my cards until late at night when I went to bed to read a few pages in one of the books on my tablet.

Since the battery was almost empty I had connected it to my brand-new charger cable. (A replacement for the one that died on me after about two weeks). I started reading and after a few seconds I noticed again the red cross in the battery icon: the G*dd*mm*t, F*ck  and Sh*t’s  broke the silence in my sleeping room. Ample moments later I noticed I hadn’t fully pushed the plug in its charging port. When I did so my battery was charging again….. And then I remembered my cards…
An electrical setback causes such emotional distress that I forgot all about my beliefs and started swearing ( which of course normally I never do!).
Often such minor events can be tracked back literally to our daily draw. Look how the lightning strikes The Tower…

  1. too funny, that is where my mind is today too. I'm surprised to see a built structure like a castle in this deck, I don't believe there were any castles in the Druidic time.

    1. I don't believe they had but It never occurred to me until now :D

  2. Funny how real life is reflected in such down-to-earth ways by the cards at times! Glad the new charger wasn't a lemon!

    1. I was happy about that too although I was a bit embarrassed by myself :D

  3. I think that was a good story. We do get sidetracked by those Tower moments and let loose. When it happens I think where did all that anger come from and realize my work with me is never done.

    1. I love your final remark. That gives a whole different flavor to the phrase: "A woman's job is never done."

  4. It's funny how subtly literal the cards can be sometimes! My Monday draw ended up the same way...with the Death card. Long story short: I had no plans, it was going to be a boring day. I wondered what change or transformation could possibly happen...Later in the day I decided to trim a deck for the first time. It must have been referring to the change made to the cards. Death to the borders! Ha ha ha.

    1. Ha ha Love that story. I hope they look as beautiful as your Dreaming Way Tarot. Personally I rather like the orange borders but I can understand how the images come to life without them. :)

    2. The story was about the Dreaming Way. That was my first time trimming! And they did come out lovely! As for the Raven's Prophecy...those orange borders aren't going anywhere. I love them. ha ha ha.

    3. Lol I automatically presumed you meant the Raven's Prophecy tarot because you post a lot of pictures on IG of this deck :D

    4. Yeah, that could easily cause confusion. Lol. I'm getting to know the Raven's Prophecy tarot with an IG challenge TheTruthInStory started. I hadn't planned on posting every daily draw, but it has been fun so why not!

  5. Good reading! I like how you interpreted these cards. And as with the Lenormand how small the disruption ended up being. (not to say it felt small at the moment, but I'm sure you know what I mean. :))

    1. Thank you Cher! I do know what you mean I hardly can believe I was so worked up about it :D

  6. My late husband who had more burdens imaginable more than enough for one person, but a faith so strong and true. He used to say, I can cope with the major set backs in life, it's the little things that drive me crazy. I sure have found this also to be true. It's always a good test for building our patience and humility.

    I have a lack of light bulbs right now, and broke the last one I needed this morning. Pissed me off but I surprizingly managed to stifle my usual expletives! Except this one. Shit happens!

    1. Expletives: now that is a new word for me! With the little things I think it is the lack of control we can't stand and with the big issues we just know we can't change them anyway :D

  7. Meaningless words, but oh they seem to feel good at the time when nothing else seems to work!

    That's a really good point Ellen I think you are very right. I guess we think we can some how we should be able to control the little things! I'm not so good at that! ;)
