Okay, guys, we're going to talk about telling the future on Thursday. But today, why don't you all hop online and get your fortunes told?

Check out this free tarot reading site. Pick a question, and get yourself a reading using the Celtic Cross spread. Then let me know two things: First, what your question was, and second, what your impression of the reading's results were. Also? Lemme know what you think of tarot, if you know anything about it.

Kiki blushes a little as she admits, "I asked about love. And... I found the results quite accurate - that I was searching for balance in a turmoiled situation. It told me repeatedly that my situation in love was 'chaotic,' which is about as correct as it can be.

I do not read the tarot myself, but I know other witches who are excellent at fortune telling and divination. I don't think the tarot so much as reads or predicts the future, but I think it does inspire the querant to introspectively look at their situation in a new way."

[ooc: Could be mun's own interest in tarot/interpretation/spin, but reading was accurate liek WHOA. Even hinting at what I have in the works for Kiki coming up!]

[ooc - so was Xander's, when I asked it the question that in no way would Xander admit to asking it. 'Cept now I have to find something that he actually would admit to asking. *grin*]

[Hahah, me too - there's plenty of things Kiki would ask about, just not in a situation where she knows she'd have to announce the results to the whole class.]

"So what you're saying is that some people could use it as a psychological tool to help settle the issue in their own minds, maybe?" asked Jenny.

"I think so, yes," Kiki answers. "The future is... ineffable. And it is always in flux. Even the most accomplished diviners can only give an impression of what is most likely to happen, not most definitely what will, because people are so variable and change their minds so much. But by reading the tarot, it can help people evaluate their lives and their thoughts by relating their situations to what comes out in the cards. The cards are open to intepretation, after all."
