If a reading feels off, don’t skip writing it down. Even if it seems wrong, jot down why it felt that way and what you expected. Later on, you might see the cards were showing something you weren’t ready to see at the time.
I keep my tarot journal on my nightstand and jot down dreams with the cards I pulled that day. It’s interesting how they often appear changed in my dreams. I’ve started a ‘dream deck’ section to track which cards show up most in my sleep, and Death appears more often than I’d expect. It’s something I’m trying to understand better.
