It's in the Cards
May 9, 2007
I've talked about my feelings regarding the Tarot Card workshop at the RT Convention, but I after talking with Catherine Snodgrass I realized there may be more to it. Here's the story from Catherine:
On Sunday, I attended the Introduction to Tarot Cards workshop given by Marilyn Campbell with my author friends Adrianna Dane and Linda McLaughlin aka Lyndi Lamont. It was a marvelous workshop. I would definitely attend a presentation by Marilyn Campbell in the future. Marilyn's presentation was great, so great that I went online and ordered the Tarot Kit she designed for The Lotus Circle (cards, scarf, and book) since I wasn't lucky enough to receive one at conference. Workshop attendees sat in their little clumps of people as they often do. At the end of the workshop, Marilyn decided to do one-card readings for the different clusters of people. She decided how the division would go and asked one person from each cluster to draw a card for the group. She decided our row was one cluster, which included (in order) Adrianna, myself (Catherine Snodgrass aka Caitlyn Willows), Linda, and another person at the end two chairs away from us. She asked Adrianna to pick the card and told her to clear her mind. Adrianna said okay. Marilyn said there was a lot in her head, to clear her mind. Adrianna said okay. Marilyn said clear her mind, to remember "it's not all about you." The three of us laughed so hard. Of all the things to say! We told Marilyn that it was me, that I'm always joking that "it's all about me". She couldn't have found a better way to get our attention. Finally Adrianna's mind was clear and she drew the Emperor card. Marilyn said it was a wonderful card to draw. That it meant our careers would explode in a very good way and that we were going to be very busy. I think, though, if she hadn't said that little phrase that was so meaningful to us, we might not have taken the reading as seriously. It was rather like a cosmic whack on the head to get our attention first. We paid attention. - Catherine Snodgrass aka Caitlyn Willows
Well, I guess if I knew I wasn't going to draw the death card, I'd feel a little better about Tarot readings too. I'm glad Catherine had a happy ending and we'll just sit back and watch their careers explode.
Bottom line: I'll stick with Cribbage.
