After my performance with Dead Violets at Queering Sound Fest, held at Pyramid Atlantic on Saturday evening, I scooted down the street to my friend Meg's birthday gathering in her apartment. I brought my Tarot Cards by her request and ended up giving readings to several people at her party. As it turns out, two of those I gave readings to are from the above-mentioned blogger team.
The readings made such an impression on them, they blogged about the evening.

Ever since, I've been interested in experiencing my own reading and Saturday night afforded me that possibility. And, to my surprise, by candle light at a birthday party on an apartment patio in Silver Spring. Go figure. The dealer/spiritual adviser's name was Bethany, a young woman who had been practicing since she was 12 years old and genuinely enjoyed using Tarot to help others. Normally she charged a fee, but she was willing to entertain my fancy and give me a "spiritual check-up" after I asked politely. I was very appreciative, especially since it hit me when we started that what I had asked her to do was the equivalent of asking a psychiatrist to give me a free mental rundown after discovering one at a bar. I'm not remotely regretful, however, because the entire process was absolutely pleasant and Bethany was surprisingly accurate. Were some of the cards pulled from the deck a little vague? Sure. But, most weren't, and the ones that were tied together very well into the overall tapestry Bethany had dealt for me. She honed in on emotional and intellectual stressors left over from law school - one card specifically referenced a recently resolved issue concerning whether or not I was good enough to return (I am, by the way. Just to clarify). My favorite card was The Card of Strength, meant for those who use their strengths positively - taming the lion naturally, as opposed to beating it down with weapons.

I was pleased. I even stayed to check out other readings (including one for Jason) and, what's more intriguing, everyone else's didn't apply to me at all. My reading was my reading, which told me two things: 1) Bethany is VERY good at what she does and 2) Being, and remaining, open minded has its advantages. Tarot helped me effectively address, analyze, and focus on positive changes for the future. I see nothing wrong with that, despite popular opposition and insistence regarding cooky scam-artistry.
