In reply to Is there a cure for constant bad luck?, posted by Wildflower on October 16, 2003, at 8:55:28
> I wasn't a superstitious person but now I might become one. I broke a very large mirror moving into my apartment 2.5 years ago and things haven't been the same since. My co-workers joke about my constant bad luck. A friend of mine even bought me a lucky bamboo plant for my b-day to try to help me. Ironically enough, my cat knocked it off the shelf that night. It's in one piece but I took it as a sign.

Oh yes, how can I forget the most recent incident - I just broke a huge chunk of tooth off this morning on a bagel. Maybe I would be better if I just followed my instinct and stayed in bed every day.

>Hi....I greatly understand what you are saying. After two horrible tragedies within a year, I thought someone, or thing, or whatever, MUST have put a curse on me. So, recently I got into something I never really believed in before. That is Tarot cards. I am reading through a book on how to use them, and still have to go out and buy a good deck. But, I had a reading by someone who I *knew* was very experienced (not a fly-by-nighter) and they did a reading that almost shocked this usually very skeptical, semi-logical guy.
What I found it best, though, was for developing some insight into my concerns and problems, to 'navigate' a bit better and make life a bit richer. It didn't help with immediate "yes or no" problems, but I liken it even in some ways to therapy. I'd highly recommend doing some reading on the subject, and see if you can find an "expert" in the area you live in and have a reading done. The more you know about the subject, and in particular the cards and what they *really* mean, might bring some needed new perspective to your life. "Lover's Vs. The Fool"...endlessly rocking..:-)
Best,
Jay
