Making Magic

Deck used is the Urban Tarot by Robin Scott

So this reading is special for me because I’ve been of two minds about some of my life choices. I know there have been some things that I’ve decided on doing that haven’t been looked at as being a good choice for me. There are things people would rather have me do, but at the end of the day, I know my life is my life and I will have to deal with the consequences of my choices. But what will I need to do to make my own magic in spite of these things? Let’s pull up some cards and find out.

The Cards

from the Urban Tarot by Robin Scott

The Emperor: The Emperor is fatherhood in the best sense of the word. They are the highest ideal of what we think of as strong, wise and just. There is a sense of steadfastness in the way they protect their loved ones and they have a deep sense of resolve. By this, they are our teachers of responsibility, morality and they hold us to a higher standard of ethics and laws. In all of this, we are taught how to be strong, resilient human being

7 of Wands: This cause represents the idea of the little voice that champions a hopeless cause. This is the person on the soapbox that won’t stop shouting. This represents protest, passion, strength and courage when standing up against overwhelming odds.

The Aeon: This card represents the idea of looking at your place in the world and seeing what you might be leaving behind for those that come after you. Commonly known as the card for Judgement, we know we will face our ends at some point, and we will have to answer for our actions in this life. But when we do go, it’s how people will remember us that will carry on.

So I suppose the first thing I’m going to need is a sense of resolve and a good deal of steadfastness to keep going with what I’ve chosen to do. I need to look deep into what I need to be responsible for and have the courage to stand up when the odds are highly stacked against me. Passion is also helpful in this regard as well. On top of that, I need to know that I am making an impact in this life and people will remember me for something, whether it’s good, bad, indifferent or other. Sometimes I get lost in the thought that I won’t be supported in my decisions, but at the end of the day, if I’m holding my head high in spite of the storm around me, I’ll be just fine.
