==========
Heavy rain, a bell rings and a door opens. A few seconds of walking is heard.
[Voice is distant]
It's quite a good downpour out there isnt it? Im surprised anyones out in it, aside from those water spirits of course.
[Walking, steadily gets louder]
Well hello there, what brings you to my shop at this hour? Not many people are even awake right now. Looking for herbs? An aura cleansing? Some late night spiritual guidance perhaps? The goddess knows we all need one of those at least once in our lives-
A tarot card reading?... Hm. Havent been asked to do one of those in a while. People nowadays are more into that whole crystal ball prediction stuff. What a load of garbage. Any guy off the street can use it to make a quick buck just by telling people what they want to hear and adding a couple special effects. What a load of crap.
[Sigh] In any case, please, step right this way and well begin shortly.
Curtain opens, waking, curtain closes
Please, make yourself at home, its what all the pillows are for afterall. [Pause] Would you care for a bit of tea? I know its not entirely good to have something with caffeine this late, but hey, you never know. Sometimes a bit of tea can be quite soothing. Seems rhetorical, but whatever floats your boat. [Light chuckle] Wonderful. If youll excuse me Ill be right back with the tea and cards.
Walking, curtain opens, curtain shuts, muffled walking. Pots clink in the distance with humming. Curtain opens and shuts
I thank you for your patience [Pause] Here you are, some freshly brewed herb tea, specially made by yours truly. [Playful chuckle]
Glasses are set down, tea is poured
Now then, lets get started [Cards are shuffled] shall we?
The whole process is rather simple. Well, for you at least. All you really have to do is sit there and watch as the cards tell you whats to come.
Well start from the beginning, or rather your past. [Cards are shuffled again and one is turned over]
The chariot reversed In your past I see anger. Frustration. A lack of control has lead you down a path without any direction to follow. Youve suffered pain. Pain you still linger on to this day. You cant seem to let it go, but let me tell you my friend, holding onto things will hurt you more than letting them go ever will.
Think of it like this If youre holding onto a rope that has a lot of weight on the end of it, dragging you closer and closer to a ledge, the rope will burn your hands, youll get very tired rather quickly and you wont be able to accomplish anything. All you will be able to focus on is the pain the rope brings and the fact that you might get dragged down into that cavern yourself but, if you just. [Quick pause] Let it all go the rope cant burn your hand, youll never again have to worry about falling into that deep abyss. Youll be free of all worry and pain
Just think about that for a moment take a deep breath in and let it out. [Pause] Very good.
Now, your present. [Card is flipped]
The Page of Wands, turned upright. Although in the past you have felt a great lack of control, in the current stage of your life you have found a sense of freedom. You no longer are a bird trapped in a cage, youre free to soar as high as you please and wherever you deem fit. Your present is full of exploration whether that be of yourself, others, the world youre finding new things everyday and growing from those experiences.
Its an exciting thing. Not always is it easy and not always will we find utter joy in our discoveries, but we are still growing none the less and that alone is a journey worth taking. An adventure to smile about. Tread wisely though. Not all paths you find are worth traveling down.
Finally, your future [Card is flipped]
Death. Upright.
Whats that look for? [Pause] It does seem like a bad card to get, doesnt it? The cards dont mean exactly what you might think. Death turned upright is quite good, especially when it comes to future readings actually. [Pause]
Before you say anymore, just hear me out
In your future I see wonderful new beginnings. A major shift in who you are or the things you may be going through now, itll all come to a close, but you have no need to worry. When one door closes, another opens. Ill be a new chapter in your life, if you will.
You have to be willing to let go of the past though. If you cant do that, then youll never be able to move forward to this new beginning fate has in store for you. As I was saying before, you have to let go so you can put your energy into working towards becoming a better person. One who is more at peace with themselves Isnt that what were all striving for after all? Peace with ourselves and contentment in all aspects of our own lives?
Your future is bright. Chase it. Follow your heart, use your head, and let your soul be free. That is what the cards see for you.
[Pause]
[Cards are shuffled] I hope that reading was satisfying. You have a lot to look forward to. I wish you the best of luck.
Now here, if youre finished with your drink I can take your cup. [Teacup clicks]
It truly was a pleasure meeting you and Im very happy to have done your reading. I havent performed one in quite some time, so it was nice getting to brush up on my practices. Feel free to stay a while longer, but Ill be closing up shop here in a bit. I need sleep after all.
Sure, I might be more of a night owl, but I cant stay up forever. Although if I could, I think Id have a pretty nice business flow Anyways, again, thank you for stopping by. I believe you can remember your way out, correct? [Pause] Thats right! A left and follow the hall to the front.
Have a safe journey home my friend. Hopefully fate allows us to meet again, but until then, may the goddess be with you.
Goodnight.
Walking, door opens and bell rings, door shuts, rain fades out
