Date a Girl Who Reads Tarot Cards
This is inspired by the essay "Date a Girl Who Reads" by Rosemarie Urquico. I love her essay and I had a lot of fun writing my own.
You should date a girl who reads tarot cards.
Date a girl who reads tarot cards. Date a girl who spends her money on a $20 tarot reading special on the sidewalk near her job. Date a girl who has a bookmark in her Safari browser called "Magic Spell Book," who uses The Star card as a bookmark.
Find a girl who reads tarot cards. She isn't so easy to spot but you'll know that she does because while sitting across from her on the bus, you'll see her staring intently at an oversized card and taking notes. She knows she can't have a reading done by every psychic on the sidewalk but she'll linger a while and listen in on the readings of others. She'll gaze at the reader with silver hair and crows feet as if she is looking at herself from another life.
If you're lucky enough to go into her bedroom, you'll find a deck on her nightstand and another on her bookshelf, the one with the lost cards. You'll find her role model, the Queen of Pentacles pinned to her bulletin board, right next to her affirmations, visualizations, and the other half of the two dollar bill you gave her.
When you date a girl who reads tarot cards, you date a girl who believes in magic and signs. She'll write you a letter telling you that the day before you began corresponding, the Two of Cups appeared. And she saw it again the time you disappeared and then came back. You'll call her and ask what it means because you're curious about it and she'll be shy to answer. She will wonder how to explain that she doesn't believe in things like twin flames but maybe she does. She'll be shy to say, "our love will change the world," and say instead, "it's a conscious meeting of the minds, an equal exchange of energy." And when you're together at the store where you buy your old stamps, you'll see a book about tarot and ask again. She won't tell you right there that you are the one, but she'll flip to the page and read to you and raise her eyebrows in a funny way.
When you drop her off at the airport she will hug you and slip the Two of Cups card into your winter jacket pocket. A card she carried with her from home and kept hidden in her journal. You don't have to read tarot cards to know what she means by this. Or to know that you are the man and she is the woman. You only need eyes to see the house in the distance, and a heart that knows.
When you date a girl who reads tarot, don't expect her to give you all the answers. Although as a young reader she'll want to. She thinks she has life figured out and she just might. She'll want to tell you of her prophetic dreams, especially the one of your mother holding her cheeks and kissing her forehead. She'll want so badly for you to know that G-d willed this. But because she reads tarot, she knows that this isn't how prophecy works. When you're ready, the information will come to you. While she will be impatient for your love, she understands that in this way you are her teacher.
When you date a girl who reads tarot, there's a good chance she will be into astrology, too. If she adores you she will want to read your birth chart. She'll ask you what day you were born. "What time and where, jelly bear?" She'll study your planets on the lawn of the New York City School of Music.
When you date a girl who reads, she will see you holding a stick and declare you the King of Wands. She will treat you like the King of Wands and she will always know your magic.
If you think tarot is silly, if you discourage her from getting to deep into "this stuff" or tell her to stop taking it so seriously, then please be at peace with the fact that she might leave you. A girl who reads tarot will dream only of a man who believes in magic. And as her intuition grows, know that this trait cannot be faked. Know that if she reaches to you in letters of love and longing, she wants you. A girl who reads tarot has clarity and reaches only for the things that she wants.
You will propose at the Japanese Tea Garden where you had your first date, or maybe the caves at Hug Point, or you'll call her over while you cut the beets and she sets the table.
Your children will grow up to know their mother as a benevolent witch and they will love her fiercely. She will learn more magic than she could have ever dreamed from them. She will not be shy to tell you, "this is our love, watch as it changes the world."
Date a girl who reads tarot. Or better yet, move to New York and live with her.
