card readings and vino at lunch

The coworker has a thing for Angel cards. Similar to Tarot (I think?), they have different images and words that, when properly shuffled and meditated on, are supposed to tell you what’s going on—past, present and future.

I find such things, including Tarot, palm readings, magic eight balls and horoscopes, to be nonsense, but nonetheless, it’s always entertaining when she decides… nay, demands, that I get a reading.

So after lunch, which included wine and possibly bad shrimp (she is now asleep on the floor and I am debating going to have my stomach pumped—ugh), she shuffled the cards and had me pick a number.

One of the cards that came up said I should listen to my dreams, because they’re telling me what to do.

It’s disturbing to me that the card was right on the money. I have been having intriguing dreams lately. Full resolution dreams, in damn Technicolor… the kind where you wake up and you continue whatever conversation you were having in your dreams and are freaked out that the other half of the conversation is no longer another human, but a cat. Meowing. With a strange, “WTF?” look on her whiskered face.

And I thought I was eating too many pickles before bed.

  7. Andy—:P Sure.

    Anne: You got very powerful cards….

    Recent Past (last three months) is Romance.. the Angels are addressing and assisting you with your romantic needs. Ask for and accept the Angels help with your love life.—Apparently the Angels have heard you and they are preparing to guide you to your love. 🙂

    Present: Soulmate. Your prayer for a soulmate relationship has been received and will soon be answered.

    Immediate Future (next three months) is an Upside Down Freedom. When the card is upside down, it means there’s a block in this. You are your only jailkeeper. You are free to choose your own path. But you are blocked….. You feel tied down and trapped.

    Interesting, no?

  8. I have met my soulmate and no one told me? How? When? Who? Oh, just reread. No I haven’t. Phew.
    Interesting indeed. The “own jailkeeper” thing? Interesting. Just to check, within the next three months, I will find freedom, or within the next three months I won’t? Cause, really that’s the main thing, innit?

  9. OK – when a card is displayed upside down, it indicates a block in that particular area – in other words, you need extra help in this area.

    So, because you got the Freedom card upside down in your future position, it simply means that you need some help in viewing your future in regards to your Freedom. Maybe right now, when you think about the future, you feel trapped. Maybe you feel like you “have” to do this or you “have” to do that.

    The angels are telling you that you don’t “have” to do anything! They will either help you complete the task from a loving mindset so that you don’t feel trapped, or they will guide you to do something else that you will love.

    Having said all that, if it is specific guidance you are seeking on one particular subject, I can simply pull one card instead of 3. Just let me know. 🙂

  10. Unbelievable. You want me hooked on this? No, I’ll just stick to “everything’s about to work out unbelievably well”, and when it does, I’ll treat you both to… something. Deal? 🙂

    Comment by Anne — September 23, 2005 @ 5:20 pm

  11. Deal. lol 🙂 We both love NYC. We’ll do dinner and drinks. 😉

    Comment by the insider — September 23, 2005 @ 5:26 pm

  12. Deal!

    These cards sure can be addicting – I’ve learned to stop abusing them. The offer does still stand whenever you’re ready though. hehe 🙂

  19. I’m going to destroy MySpace. Make every motherfucker that can’t spell out the words you, your and you’re repent and then I’m going to live happily ever after.

    At a cafe.

  20. Oh god, the overwhelming hatred you have for MySpace is so entertaining. 🙂

    Sounds like a good plan, overall.

    Comment by the insider — September 23, 2005 @ 7:02 pm

  21. bet you he’s a closet “myspace” lover.

    his room is probably all glitter paint and anime. words spelled completely incorrectly/incoherently and super sugary japanese techno pop.

  30. true…though i do give her a bath every month or two (she has a dry skin condition so i have to, plus it’s a laugh riot, so that’s a bonus) and she is surprisingly well behaved.
