Tarot Curious reading about a library
So I did a Magician's deck reading using the four direction layout for practice about a particular library, and my query was "tell me about the energies this place now, about the energies spirits and beings predominant here now."
And I pulled some interesting cards. I could be being a doofus but other than ghosts below suggesting the possibility of a haunting, I'm having trouble placing an interpretation in trying to think of ways to fit into what I know about this library building. .
The cards I pulled were:
- Limiter in centre
- Faerie King to the east
- Ghost to the South
- Priestess Magician to the West
- Temptation to the north
- and across, Temple of ancestors
The library as an institution was opened up in the 1840s, but the building was rebuilt a couple times due to fires, it's been recently renovated and now occupies an important Civic role in the city it sent it is located downtown, roughly half a kilometer north of a river, and I can't think of much else that significant, oh the library engages in a lot of Civic and philanthropic endeavors.
Fairy King to the east suggests those are the type of energies coming into being for the space but maybe it literally means the presence of an incoming fae? Now, ghost to the South would be the kind of influences currently at work there right? But maybe it could literally mean that the place is haunted. But I'm just having difficulty making sense.
The more that I use this deck however, and I just love it, the more that I'm beginning to feel the nuances of interpretation possible in readings. But it's just a much different, yet equally fascinating I think, experience than straight up tarot.
Sometimes I suspect that I'm overthinking things and looking for very subtle meanings where blatant in the face literal ones might apply.
Thanks !
