I can usually work something helpful around the Major Arcana, but for me the toughie is always the 3 of Swords:smt010 I know heartache will often lead to healing but how do you explain this when someone has come for a reading full of excitement for a new relationship they've just started? Chances are it's the first card I'll turn up.... I mean it just LOOKS so uninviting!

My friend used to do tarot for me and he was brilliant but the tower card would always come up in my spread, he used to right freak out! Saying that that it was basically the "sh*t has hit the fan" "Run for your lives" kinda thing.
But then we figured out that I, yes me, was actually the Tower card. The tower card actually represented me?! Not sure if anyone has come across that before or its total hogwash but thought it would be interesting info to share.

I kinda get the shivers with the devil cared but I think its more cause of the name.
The magician also stirs me up at times cause I don't like the word magic...prob just due to the kind of ppl who used to be pro the word.
But I also know now that all these cards have wonderful and powerful messages to tell! And that none of them are 'bad'...

I use The Native American Tarot by Magda Weck Gonzales.....
looking through the Major Arcana......... there are aspects of these selected cards that are scary on a personal level......... Are you ready to face Your shadow Self?

Osho Zen Tarot.... There are several cards that really make you look at your inner self..........

Minor Arcana NAT........7 of Shields....Trail of tears.......shows it could be quite a journey travelled.......
Eight of Blades Captive..................facing how you are feeling within emotions........
three of Blades mourning-dealing with grief on some level...
ten of swords    Ruin............lies untruths..........etc

Aspects of the Minor arcana also hold things we may not be ready or want to face within ourselves................

So i cannot pick just one card i find the scariest.........it really depends where i am in my life...... what stage of the cycle......!!!!!!!

I agree, the tower. Scary.
Donna

The Tower....

usually means a leap into the unknown..asking for you to take a risk in moving forward.....

Are you ready to take that leap of faith into the unknown   or do you want to hold onto what keeps you secure.?  



Blessed be!
