Sagas Among the Arcana: Sink

This week’s 3 card reading (using the White Numen: Sacred Animal Tarot by AlbaBG):

8 of wands

2 of wands reversed

ace of wands reversed

You rush, so you step too far into the quicksand and

sink

sink.

But what you expect to be grainy dirt are actually reptiles that entwine and bind you. Your hands are coiled by cool scales. Entrancing and atrocious at the same time. They tighten and tighten.

You’re trapped.

How could you be so foolish?

You should have looked around more, taken a step back, and observed.

But you’ve never been one to observe, have you?

Perhaps, now, you should observe. Calm your mind and pay none of it to the

rattle

Soon, it’s too hard to think. There are nooses around your neck and your energy drainssss

All you remember is:

Act too quick,

then

you

sink.
