Witchy’s (Highly Questionable) “Tarot Reading” for Leonora Watkins
Uh…about safe shopping (?), and acupuncture (the very hard way)

Note from Liberty: For those of you who might not be aware, Witchy ran a little contest for our Pub Family in the “newsletterish.” She is learning Tarot (and I use the term, “learning,” loosely) and offered ten free readings — which later became 11.
There were a lot of entries! Leonora Watkins is one of the lucky (?) winners!
Witchy doesn’t have her own Medium account (the idea of having one terrifies her, as do most things) so she is using mine.


Hi, Leonora! I did everything Liberty taught me about how to prepare to do a reading. I closed my eyes and concentrated really hard on you while I shuffled the cards and picked one. I turned it over and saw that it was the 5 of Wands (or Rods in this deck) — the picture above.
I asked myself, “Hmm. What could it mean??” (And I hoped my Self would give me a good answer!).
It didn’t.
Then I remembered what Liberty said: Look at the picture and figure out the story that the card is trying to tell you.
So I did that. Boy, this Tarot stuff is hard! I wonder if I will ever be able to do it the way Liberty does readings. She makes it look so easy.
Then it came to me! This is what I got:
“Oh, man. I’m dreading another Black Friday Stick Sale. All that pushing and shoving, all that yelling, ‘Gimme that! It’s mine!’ or ‘I saw it first!’ It’s so rude! But I really do need a new Stick. And I just can’t pass up a bargain.”
I learned about Black Friday last year so I know it is not happening right now. At least you have plenty of warning for the next one!
To see if there was anything else I could tell you about this card, I closed my eyes and pulled out another one for you:

This is the 4 of Swords.
“King Arthur’s Round Table Benefits Package included acupuncture. Surprisingly, it got a lukewarm reception.”
So…King Arthur’s gang did not appreciate acupuncture. I am pretty sure they missed the point.
HAH! See what I did there? I crack me up!
I stared at this card for probably 57 hours. Or 35 minutes. I don’t know. Anyway, it was a long time before I figured out what it had to do with those guys fighting over buying Sticks.
I remembered what Liberty said about the story the picture is telling. Then I got it! This card means you will be stressed and anxious after all that Black Friday shopping and fighting over Sticks, so you should take a nap. Or to help you relax, get acupuncture. Only maybe not with swords.
Or do not go Black Friday shopping in the first place.
The Most Important part:
- Do not fight over Sticks.
- Yes, you can pass up a bargain.
- Do not shop on Black Friday or you might get a sharp Stick in the eye.
- Be sure you really need a new Stick before you buy another one.
- Shopping make you nervous.
