Tarot To-Go: We're Back - No Fooling!

Hi. Hello! How are you all? Welcome back to another installment of Tarot-To-Go! It’s been awhile since I’ve bombarded your eyeballs with cards and tried to decode our future in an attempt to navigate this crazy thing called life as a human being. What a crazy whirlwind it’s been since our last update — how’s everyone hanging in? A bit frazzled? Yeah, I thought that might be the case…

Since the world’s a bit upside down right now, Maria and I thought April 1st would be the perfect time to snap back into the swing of it here on Oddball Era. With the both of us locked down in quarantine, we’ve got a lot of time on our hands to sit around and worry. I bet you can relate. To channel that energy into more positive ventures, I’ve decided to try and dedicate this period to growing my magical practice, especially my tarot skills. Plus, I think we can all use a little clarity right about now!

For today’s reading, I’ve pulled a single card to represent the energy for this first week of the month from one of my absolute FAVORITE decks — Postcards From The Liminal Space by Bakara Wintner over at @everyday__magic on Instagram. Let’s take a look!

Which way is this all going? THE __ AT THE CROSSROADS is both a spooky and auspicious card to pull at a time like this but I think it’s appropriate. Everything is really up in the air right now with the COVID-19 pandemic. Will the economy be okay? Who will be affected by this — who will lose people they love, their jobs? Nobody and nothing seems safe from the chopping block — and there’s truly a multitude of ways this entire situation can go.

As a society, as a species, as a planet — we are standing at a crossroads together. How we choose to move forward will end up being the foundation for our new lives. Everything is going to change once all this is over — people’s lives will be completely uprooted, important choices will need to be made, and opportunities to build better lives out of the rubble of once was will present themselves on the daily. This week we are being challenged to choose wisely — it’s never been more critical than it is right now. Who you’ll be this time next year will depend heavily on what you do right now. It’s a scary time — but rife with possibilities.

That’s it for this week — come back next TUESDAY to see what the cards have for us then. How does this week’s card resonate with you? Let us know in the comments!
