I’ve been having trouble getting to sleep tonight.
When this happens a tarot reading will usually clarify my thoughts and feelings, and allow me to carry on, and eventually get some sleep.
My Tarot reading included The Hanged Man.
Attila happened to pass by, and looked at the image of a man hanging upside down, by his foot. In the image the man looked very calm.
Attila thought for a moment and said, “he looks calm because they hung him by the wrong end.”
We both had a good laugh about that, and it turned out to be quite a pertinent aspect of the reading.

Thank you (and Attila) for a good chuckle this morning.
How did I not know you read tarot? Or did I, but it’s been so long that I’ve forgotten! -Kate
Wendy, happy to share it!
Kate, we talked about taro years ago, when I lived a the country house, so it was in the back of your mind somewhere, 🙂
Hmmm. I don’t remember you reading taro cards either. I guess it must have been before I started following you at the country house.
Teri, I did mention it in passing in 2024 in this blog, but I’m not sure if I mentioned it pre-wordpress. I switched from coding my own pages to wordpress around 2010, I might have mentioned it before then, it would take some digging to find out, lol.
I have two tarot decks, and have done readings for others, decades ago. I have done readings for myself for over 30 years. I like it because there are issues that are so complex that talking to someone else about them is a quagmire of necessary details that only I have. Tarot readings allow me to apply focus where it is needed, I’ve always found it extremely helpful.
I also pay attention to astrology readings, complex readings involving a detailed birth chart and transits. These things allow my mind to explore possibilities, very helpful.
