Alright‚ let’s talk about keepin’ them daily and weekly free mini tarot journals‚ you know， the kind you scribble in｡ It ain’t gotta be fancy‚ just somethin’ to jot down your thoughts about them cards｡
Why Keep a Tarot Journal Anyway?
Now‚ you might be thinkin’‚ “Why bother writin’ stuff down? I can just remember it。” Well， let me tell ya， your memory ain’t always reliable｡ You pull a card‚ think you know what it means， and then poof! Gone like smoke｡ But if you write it down‚ it sticks。 You can go back later and see what you were thinkin’‚ see if it makes sense now｡ Plus‚ it’s kinda fun to look back and see how you’ve grown， how your understandin’ of the cards has changed｡
- Rememberin’ Stuff: Write down the cards you pull and what you think they mean。 This helps you remember later。
- Seein’ Patterns: Over time， you might start seein’ patterns in the cards you pull｡ Maybe you keep gettin’ the same card over and over｡ That could mean somethin’｡
- Learn Faster: Writin’ stuff down helps you learn faster｡ It’s like when you write down a recipe – you remember it better。
What to Put in Your Free Mini Tarot Journal
Okay‚ so you got your little notebook‚ maybe a free one you got somewhere｡ Now what? Don’t just stare at it like a bump on a log｡ Start writin’! Here’s what you gotta put in there:
The Date and Time: Always write down the date and time you pulled the cards｡ This way‚ you can see when things happened and if they connect to other stuff goin’ on in your life。
The Cards You Pulled: Write down the names of the cards you pulled｡ You can even draw little pictures if you’re feelin’ fancy， but you don’t have to｡ Just the names are good enough｡
Your First Thoughts: This is important! Write down your first thoughts when you see the cards｡ What pops into your head? Don’t overthink it‚ just write what you feel｡
Card Meanings: Now you can look up the card meanings in a book or online。 Write down the standard meanings‚ but also write down your own feelin’s about what the card means to you｡ This is what makes your journal unique｡
Intuitive Meanings Some people say just look at the pictures on them cards， what you see and what you feel‚ that’s what the card means to you then｡ Like them Wheel of Fortune card‚ some say it’s Destiny‚ fortune‚ success‚ elevation， luck‚ felicity｡ And when it’s upside down‚ it’s Increase‚ abundance， superfluity。 But what do you see? Maybe you see somethin’ different｡ That’s okay｡ Write it down。
The Question You Asked (If Any): If you pulled the cards for a specific reason‚ write down the question you asked。 This helps you see how the cards answer your question｡ Sometimes the answer ain’t what you expect‚ but that’s okay｡ The cards are just there to guide you， not to tell you what to do。
Daily vs。 Weekly Journals
Now‚ you gotta decide if you wanna do a daily journal or a weekly journal｡ Or maybe both! It’s up to you｡
Daily Journals: For a daily journal‚ you just write down your thoughts about the cards you pull each day｡ You can pull one card‚ three cards， or however many you want。 Just keep it short and sweet。 Ain’t nobody got time to write a whole novel every day｡
Weekly Journals: For a weekly journal， you can do a bigger spread‚ maybe a seven-card spread for each day of the week｡ Or you can just pull one card at the beginnin’ of the week and see how it plays out｡ The weekly journal gives you a bigger picture of what’s goin’ on｡
How to Pick Your Cards
There are lots of ways to pick your cards。 Some folks spread ‘em all out and pick one that catches their eye｡ Others just shuffle and pick the top card｡ You can do whatever feels right to you｡ There ain’t no right or wrong way｡
- Spread and pick Some folks say lay them cards out and pick the one you like
- Shuffle and pick Some folks say shuffle them good and pick the one from the top
- Feel the energySome folks say close their eyes and feel the energy by rubbing their hands on the deck， pick the one that feels strong
Storing Your Cards
You gotta take care of your cards， you know｡ Don’t just leave ’em lyin’ around。 You can keep ’em in the box they came in， or you can get a fancy bag。 Some folks like to wrap ‘em in cloth‚ or tie ’em up with a ribbon｡ Just make sure they’re safe and sound｡
Some folks say keepin’ them in black velvet bags is the way to go‚ but I say do what you like。 It ain’t gotta be black‚ and it ain’t gotta be velvet｡ Just somethin’ that keeps them cards protected｡ You can even add some crystals or little trinkets if you want｡ Make it personal｡
Keepin’ it Simple
Remember， this ain’t supposed to be a chore｡ It’s supposed to be fun and helpful｡ So don’t stress about it｡ Just write down your thoughts， your feelings‚ and your impressions。 And don’t worry about makin’ it perfect｡ Ain’t nobody gonna judge your journal but you｡ This is for you｡ It’s your way of connectin’ with the cards and with yourself｡ And that’s all there is to it｡ Now go on and start writin’!
Don’t overthink it｡ Just write what you feel｡ There ain’t no right or wrong answers｡
Be honest with yourself。 Don’t try to sugarcoat things。 If you’re feelin’ down‚ write it down｡ If you’re feelin’ happy‚ write it down｡ It’s all good。
Have fun! This is supposed to be enjoyable。 So relax‚ grab your cards， and start writin’!
And that’s it｡ Not too hard‚ right? Just keep it simple‚ keep it real‚ and keep it goin’。 You’ll be surprised at what you learn about them cards and about yourself｡
