I agree, and honestly it's not a true "future prediction" because it's not revealing anything you and I don't already know (about climate change and the risk of total war). But the random cards I pulled are an interesting way to reflect on this. Especially that "Empress" card. I told myself that if either The Empress or The World card showed up first in the center of this reading it would be a neat coincidence. :)


I wonder, historically, how many people who foretold the future for powerful people believed in their fortune telling and how many just learned as much as possible and used the fortune telling as an excuse to not explain the complicated logic their liege didn't want to listen to anyways?

You know, hmm, the boss is too stupid/lazy/self-absorbed to listen to reason, but he's superstitious. I know how to tell him; the birds forecast this bad thing will happen if you do that stupid thing I can't just call stupid because you'll kill me and then go ahead and do it.


Good question there. I think of the many real-life historic seers to the powerful kings and leaders of history like the Oracle of Delphine, Anne Marie Lenormand, Grigori Rasputin, and Joan Quigley and I often wonder which of these had true psychic talents and believed in what they did and how many were just scamming these powerful men?

I like to think that there are some genuine psychics out there who arent con artists. But they're hard to find. One reason I suspect this can be a real thing is because I know for a fact I have had a few dreams I can remember that came true eventually and my mom is the same way. For example I once dreamt that a tree in our back yard would land on my neighbor's truck during a storm. When she visited my mom i told them both about the dream and they both laughed it off, then a couple of weeks later that's exactly what happened.

She doesnt really talk to us anymore as she was not happy. It probably weirded her out. :lol:

I'm always curious what causes those sorts of experiences, simply because it's probably not knowable. :mrgreen:

Another Lenormand reading I'm doing like the one I created for the China and the US confrontation.

Only this one is about Russia and Ukraine's war and how it will eventually end.

The Lady I picked to represent Russia, and The Gentleman I picked to represent Ukraine.

For Russia I pulled The Garden, The Coffin, and The Clover.

The Clover normally means good luck but in combination with The Coffin it means something like "luck fading" iow whatever luck Russia had in this war is running out fast, and the Coffin means death and dying in general as Russia's soldiers are being butchered for a war that most did not even want. Also The Garden refers to Russia's position on the World Stage which has been severely damaged by the decision to invade Ukraine. No matter if Russia wins or loses, in the end they have already lost the trust of the world.



For Ukraine I pulled The Horseman, The Clouds, and The Stork.

The Horseman delivers good news. The Storks can represent travel by air. So they might recieve more military support soon. Maybe fighter jets or supplies brought by plane? Ahlnd The Clouds represents the sky itself. A cloudy sky means that the future of victory is not clear at the moment.

The very center card I pulled was The Stars.

These cards mean hope, but they also mean the spotlight. This war between Russia and Ukraine will be the most important war fought in our time. And perhaps the answer to figuring out the outcome of this war lies in the stars themselves? :star:

Indeed, I love things that are unexplainable. 'Supernatural' if you will. Especially when I'm the one who experiences them. :D

Another card reading about the divide between Blue Left and Red Right in American politics, and I asked the question "Will there be a civil war?"

Image

For "The Left" I'm using The Lady card. For "The Right" I'm using The Gentleman card.

The cards surrounding The Lady are The Lily (sexual liberation), The Heart (love and compassion), and The Rider (in this case the card means a rescuing hand)

The cards surrounding The Gentleman are The Mountain (obstacles that are hard to overcome), The Sun (can mean joy and warmth but in a negative context it means being "blind to the truth", and The Stork which I feel in this case is a symbol of childbirth and motherhood. I'll explain in a bit)

And the very center card I pulled was The Snake. ...this is one of the worst cards to pull in a lenormand reading. It means things like hidden dangers, a backstabber or traitor, and forbidden knowledge. In some cases it also means a marital affair.

Sooo in these cards I see the sexual liberation and compassion for certain disenfranchised people as being one of the driving factors that will tear our country apart, and The Snake represents an outersider type of enemy that is an even bigger threat trying to take advantage of this dangerous situation and disrupt paradise.

I like to think of The Woman as Eve, The Gentleman as Adam, and The Snake as Lilith who came in between the two and brought the fall of mankind by tricking them and using their differences against them.

The GOP is stubborn and blind to the truth, and the Left is trying to do what they truly believe is the right thing with compassion and empathy (this really is what the cards are saying it's not my own bias talking).

And also I think that one of the driving factors in this division is going to be issues like abortion and later it will be the supreme court trying to outlaw gay marriage and things related to sex in general.

Maybe we really are going to wind up living like The Handmaid's Tale? That's a scary thought. :|

Perhaps the USA could be thought of as a sort of paradise? We may not be as perfect as some Americans thought we were but we've enjoyed a long period of peace and prosperity plus being overfed and overindulged on entertainment.

And now we have a metaphorical "serpent in the garden" trying to ruin that for everyone, just like in the serpent in the myth of Adam and Eve. :skull:

What do you guys think? :chin:

Another reading on the USA.

I picked Temperance to represent the balance of our Democracy itself and selected the four ruling kings to represent the four regions:

King of Swords, the Master of Intellect & Wisdom. Rules over the East Coast.

King of Cups, the Master of Art and Expression. Rules over the West Coast.

King of Coins, the Master of Stability and Abundance. Rules over the Midwest.

King of Wands, the Master of Ambition and Resurrection. Rules over the Deep South.

The four surrounding cards I pulled were: Death, The Tower, The Chariot, and Strength.

Those four cards tell me that a time of great drastic change is coming to our country. Death cuts away the old to make room for the new, The Tower tears down the old things that no longer serve us, The Chariot puts us on the path to war as we are being steered by a white horse and black horse representing opposition sides and the Strength card advises us to hang in there and to not get swept away by the chaos.
