You puzzle over the swords, cups, wands, and circles, or perhaps an unfamiliar alphabet, or even something as seemingly simple as a series of lines, broken and unbroken. They're personal issues, the stuff of daily worries, the building blocks of our days. Divinatory tools are triggers. We begin by recognizing its symbols, picking out the ones that resonate with us first.
Some tools already comprise a sophisticated and complex language.
When you learn its symbolic alphabet, you can begin to read its message, which is really a message from you to you. While the same symbols may present themselves to you or another reader, how you build the sentences from these esoteric words is yours alone. And by bypassing the language you use daily to communicate the mundane, it's possible for you to leap from left brain to right, delving into personal truths that are beyond mere logic. Determine whether or not you will only see what you want to see. Or are you truly ready to take what is given and accept the fact that what you hope for may not be what is best, that the problem you hope to solve likely has its answer within yourself rather than without, and that no matter what promises you perceive the cards to have given you, you still have to live with your reality today.
