What is a myth?
People used to think that lightning was a magical power from the gods. They still believed in lightning as a myth until one day Benjamin Franklin flew a kite and played with lightning. Then people began to realise that lightning is electricity, not, as the myth says, the power of the gods.
A myth can be something that we cannot yet understand. Like the energy of the universe that flows into signs. And today I read you for the first time. You shuffled the cards I gave you with apathy because you've always glorified logic.
Card after card came up with a story that I already knew. You seemed to feel that I was making things up. But I had explained the symbols of the tarot cards and how they appeared like your paradoxical life story? Coincidence?
That day your cards are three queens accompanied by an excruciatingly sharp sword. But my attention is drawn to one mysterious card called The High Priestess. This card always appears in the middle of complicated things. She invites one to look deeper into the subconscious. Things we can't just talk about with logic.
How can I read you when you are too rational? Every interesting story and word of yours is your subconscious. I'm not saying that they are lies. But the subconscious is your naked self.
I want to delve into even the worst dreams. I want to see the signs you've always dreamed of. I want to soak in the myths you've built from the shards of your messy life. Then I want to give it all back to you and explain the meaning of The High Priestess card better. Not like when I read you that time.
