For the books I read I like to shuffle a tarot deck and use a random card as a bookmark, then pull that card out of the deck and rinse and repeat for the next book. I only look at the meaning of the card when I finish a book just to see if it in any way correlates or vibes with the book. I just do it for a bit of fun as I’m not in to fortunes or mysticism or anything like that. At the moment I’m reading ‘Blood Meridian’ by Cormac McCarthy and I’ve just reached the section where the kid is with Toadvine, the judge and the Native American hunters and they are travelling with the Mexican family of magicians. Well they’re doing the fortune telling bit and the kid picks out the 4 of Cups and wouldn’t you know that’s the card I’d gotten as the bookmark. Had to put the book down. Just thought it was a mad coincidence and wanted to share.
