The Venerable Matthew Talbot

Recently, I had my cards read for the very first time in my life. I had always wanted to have my cards read, but I was afraid of what I would learn. I am a believer in the cards, and since I am stubborn, I never wanted to hear anything that would make me unhappy. However, with what has been going on my in life recently, I immediately became open to the experience, as I am seeking all the spiritual help and support that I can find.

Dr. Atticus Hob was the reader I met with, and from the second he introduced himself, I instantly felt at peace. He didn't ask me anything - he simply knew what was going on with me. He kept repeating, Let's see what the cards say. He began by rolling two die four times: 7, 5, 10, and 11 were the numbers. From this, Dr. Hob identified a strong, destructive male presence in my life before Jason - my father. I'll not say much more than this, but topics of addiction, dark relationships, safe places, and freedom came up. Dr. Hob said he would work with me until I get through this darkness in my life. I cried during this experience, and I am so proud of myself to make the decision to seek guidance from Dr. Hob.

After the reading, Dr. Hob planned to put together some healing baths for me, which I have yet to receive and take. He also recommended that I spend some time praying to The Venerable Matthew Talbot, an Irish priest who, hopefully, he says, will be made into a saint in the near future. He recommended that I get a tall white candle with Matthew Talbot's photograph on it. He instructed me to leave some water for Matthew on my altar and light the candle on Sunday, praying to him for help and guidance throughout my days.

I'd almost prefer to keep this private, but I'm going to share it here since I have dedicated myself to studying the Tarot and being open about the things I've been focusing on. This is my spread from my reading with Dr. Hob:

If you read cards, I'd be interested in your interpretation of this spread, not because I don't believe Dr. Hob (in fact, I trust him with my entire spirituality), but because I want to discuss, learn, and take in all that I can about reading cards.
