Knock knock, who’s there?

My husband and I are the typical Millennials: if we don’t have an appointment with you, don’t come knocking at our door, because we won’t open it. Someone has been knocking quite persistently at our door for a couple of day, more or less at 12.30/13. I pulled some cards to see who that could be (because that’s more sensible than just opening the door)

2♥ – 2♦ – 2♠

The obvious thing here is that the Two of Hearts represents the door knockers. The Two of Spades shows that it’s some kind of nuisance, while the Two of Diamonds can represent letters and exchanges. Before discovering the truth, I thought it must be someone who needed to deliver some letter they’d gotten by mistake, although it felt odd, because they could have just put it in our mailbox.

Today I finally opened the door and it was two (note the three twos) salesmen trying to peddle some scam. Note that the reality of the situation fits the meanings of the cards much better than my half-assed guess. One of the topics I’ve been thinking extensively about is how sometimes what limits our ability to predict is that our fantasy is limited. I don’t mean ‘fantasy’ as in pulling stuff out of our ass, but as in being capable of following the cards precisely in picturing a possible future. If you can’t picture it, you can’t predict it. Definitely gonna write more about it.

Don’t Mess with the Cards (Example Reading)

Some weeks ago I made an experiment. I asked the cards if an item I had ordered would arrive the next day, knowing full well it was a Sunday. The cards’ response was:

Playing Card Reading – Will the Parcel Arrive Tomorrow?

The cards are pissed off: you’re being an idiot (Jack of Spades) tomorrow is rest day (Four of Hearts) negative answer (Eight of Spades).

Well, yesterday (Saturday) I asked the same question just to try the cards, since I was waiting for another parcel. Here’s the answer I got:

Playing Card Reading – WIll the Parcel Arrive Tomorrow?

Obviously, the answer is positive, though I did not stop to think too much about it. I thought the cards had simply given me a wrong answer because I wasn’t being serious.

Yet, today the doorbell rang. It was my neighbor with a parcel for me. It had arrived yesterday in the afternoon and had been delivered to him by mistake.

Looking back at the cards, the Three of Clubs represents intermediation, someone who does things in your stead – in this case, collecting the parcel. The Two of Hearts, which usually just shows imminent things, in this case represented what’s “near the home”, i.e., the neighborhood.

Moral of the story: don’t mess with the cards, they know better.
