You are The Moon

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

Forget the interpretation (I cut it off, actually—The Moon is creative and crazy, huge surprise), I just love Tarot cards. I have a set, not that I ever had the patience to get good at using them, but I like to take them out of their velvet pouch and hold them once in a while. I know they’re just wood pulp and ink… but on the other hand, they feel like more. (cue woo-woo music) They have that backside-of-leather texture it ought to take decades to develop. They feel used. (I pretend they were given to me during the winter solstice by a wizened Gypsy woman who no longer had need of them, as she had foreseen her own death, and the cards guided her to me—apparently because they were tired of revealing the secrets of the universe and just wanted to be taken out and fondled once in a while. So much more exotic than factory fresh and shrink-wrapped, yes?)
