Which Tarot Card Are You?


You are the Fool card. The Fool fearlessly begins the journey into the unknown. To do this, he does not regard the world he knows as firm and fixed. He has a seemingly reckless disregard for obstacles. In the Ryder-Waite deck, he is seen stepping off a cliff with his gaze on the sky, and a rainbow is there to catch him. In order to explore and expand, one must disregard convention and conformity. Those in the throes of convention look at the unconventional, non-conformist personality and think What a fool. They lack the point of view to understand The Fool's actions. But The Fool has roots in tradition as one who is closest to the spirit world. In many tribal cultures, those born with strange and unusual character traits were held in awe. Shamans were people who could see visions and go on journeys that we now label hallucinations and schizophrenia. Those with physical differences had experience and knowledge that the average person could not understand. The Fool is God. The number of the card is zero, which when drawn is a perfect circle. This circle represents both emptiness and infinity. The Fool is not shackled by mountains and valleys or by his physical body. He does not accept the appearance of cliff and air as being distinct or real. Image from: Mary DeLave http://www.marydelave.com/

I've studied witchcraft, druidism, magick, fortune-telling, etc. since I was a little girl.

My fascination with the "mystical" side of life goes back at least a decade, to when I was eight. Possibly more.

Lately I find myself needing guidance. I've started keeping a dream diary, hoping that the seemingly random images my subconscious throws at me in my sleep will provide me with the key to my own happiness. I've resumed reading the tarot. I plan on celebrating the pagan holidays coming up shortly.

Maybe I'm looking for answers in all the wrong places. Maybe I'm looking for answers in all the right ones. Who knows?

After all, it can't hurt, even if it is the wrong place.

About Me

I'm just an average 19 year-old girl from California, trying to figure out my place in the world. Madness and mayhem prevail in my existence as I navigate university life and try to figure out just what I want from myself. It's an interesting adventure. Want to know anything about me, just ask.

The Devil's Rose

Because I'm always curious where people get their screennames from, here's why mine's 'devils-rose': one of my favorite songs is called "Rose in the Devil's Garden" by Tiger Army. That's the main reason, that and my life can be quite hellish. So it just kind of worked for me.
