The Quiet Oracle
Please don’t call the men in the white truck just yet, BUT…
…I have lately been listening to voices in my head.
Well, one of them anyway.
I used to ignore them all, taking the line that they were just the thrashings of my ego, and should be ignored in favour of Zen style no-mind, but I have decided that I will listen to this one particular voice as she is a good ‘un, methinks.
Yes, she is female, and quietly spoken and positive, encouraging, wise, non-judgmental. She is the voice of Yin itself. If she is just a figment of my imagination, then so be it, but she is a helpful figment so I’m letting her in to my life.
She is my intuition. Maybe she is Intuition herself.
Seeing as I like to make up names and titles and find yummy word combinations, I have am calling her the Quiet Oracle.
Ooh, and I am learning to read Tarot cards. I believe, or I am choosing to believe anyway, that the Quiet Oracle has suggested (she doesn’t demand, just nudges you and gives you quiet, caring advice) that I should. Here’s what happened: I was goofing off at work searching the internet and wondering whether I should learn more about the I Ching or get into Tarot instead when a package came for me, as in somebody literally dropped a postal package on my desk. In it was a set of Tarot cards and a book, an unsolicited gift from a client who I helped place some advertising in our magazine.
Now if that wasn’t a sign then it was a coincidence I don’t know what a sign looks like.
Oh God, I sound like a New Ager, heaven help me, NOOOOoooo!!!
Anyway, back to work…

What a crazy synchronicity! Also I noticed that this post is timed 11:11. Worth doing a Google search on that if you haven’t came across it before!
What tarot deck is it?
Let us know how it goes!

It seems as soon as you decide to learn about the tarot the synchronicities just start piling up. I started to learn about 12 years ago, it is fascinating but there is a lot to learn/experience.
Are you going to be learning to tell other people “futures”, or more for the self development angle?

Hi Mark, sorry for the delay replying I have been crazy busy. It is the classic Rider pack, well, actually a propriety version of it to be honest. I have since been wanting to get a proper Rider pack as I would prefer it but have been using the cards I have then checking up on the Rider pack through illustrated books.
How’s that 11:11 thang eh? Trippy!

Hey Steve,
re “Are you going to be learning to tell other people “futures”, or more for the self development angle?”
Definitely the latter, but a bit of magic is ok too
