Chapter 97 – Special 1. What the Tarot Tells Us (1)

The occurrence of unplanned events is called coincidence, and the flow of a series of events that one knows or cannot know is called destiny. It is so skillfully hidden that a choice made with free will sometimes flows differently than intended due to an accidental opportunity, and sometimes it is forced to go in one direction like an irresistible fate.

If each choice is the road to destiny, if each coincidence is a stepping stone leading to destiny, then Chae-gyeong and I’s date today and accidentally discovering a new tarot shop during a date must have been fate disguised as coincidence. Will be.

“Tarot?”
“Yeah, I wanted to try it once before me.”

Tarora… That’s a pretty interesting idea. I don’t believe in divination, but I think it’s fun to do it like a psychological test. The cost doesn’t seem too burdensome, and it’s not bad for entertainment on a date.

“Shall we go? Do you look at things like our love story?”
“Will it be? Let’s go! I’ll pay!”

As Chae-gyeong leads the shop, she opens the door and enters the small shop. A unique, slightly sweet, yet strange scent stings her nostrils. The smell alone makes the inside of this store a bit mysterious. I am a little excited about a new experience, a new experience that Chae-kyung and I have been having for a long time. What does Tarot really say to us?

Special 1. What does the Tarot tell us (1)

“Anybody home?”
“Yes, welcome.”

After saying hello, a slightly overweight middle-aged man in a neat suit comes out from the back of the store. A slightly old-style suit, like those worn by men in European dramas during the industrial revolution. As I was blankly in a completely different look than I expected of an old woman wearing something like a turban and wearing a necklace full of beads, he smiled and guided us to our seats.

“Could you sit over here and wait for a while? It would be nice if you could also ask for a survey.”
“A survey?”
“Yes. Is this your first Tarot house?”

The man smiled kindly and handed out a questionnaire to each of us. There were quite a few questions that you wouldn’t get anywhere else, not a normal personal investigation…

“This is my first time.”
“Me too.”
“Then you probably didn’t prepare the question. The most important thing in tarot reading is what the question is and how specific it is. At the same time, it is good if you have a lot of knowledge about the questioner. However, please do not disclose detailed and personal personal information.”

Mister, no, after hearing the teacher’s explanation, we started filling out the questionnaire. First of all, from his zodiac sign according to his date of birth, his favorite color, how he decides what kind of work he wants to ask, and a little more detailed explanation about it. I was writing this and that while talking with Chae-kyung, and the teacher made me a cup of tea.

“It’s a more inspiring car. It’s a bit embarrassing to say with my own mouth, but it tastes good.”

As he said, the tea was very tasty. We handed over the completed questionnaire to him and sat down at the table we were guided to.

“Well then, first of all, welcome to our XOX Tarot. I am…”

After a brief explanation, the teacher discussed our questions and shuffled the cards.

“I will show you three spreads for one question. The first question is about a relationship you both co-wrote. In a broader sense, it’s a question about future love, if you look specifically at it, will it be okay for the two of you to date as before, or if you need to change your attitude more actively or change yourself in any direction?”

Chaegyeong and I looked at each other and nodded towards the teacher.

“The three cards, in order from the first, show the past, present and future. It can also show a cause, phenomenon or process, result at the same time. Let’s first look at it from the perspective of time relationships.”

Three cards from his hand are placed on the floor one by one.

“The first is the Wheel of Fortune. For both of you, it’s in the right direction. The Wheel of Fortune represents luck and opportunity, development or improvement. It can be said that I was lucky enough to be involved in the development of the case. The second is the hermit in the upright direction. It sounds like someone is taking the advice of a thoughtful person or is looking for advice. You can see that it was in the same context that you came to visit me today. The last one is a lover… It’s also in the right direction. It symbolizes a love affair accompanied by love and pleasure.”

I don’t know what it is, but it seems to be subtly fitting. As far as I know, a dot is a nose ring when worn on the nose, and an earring when worn on the ear. Our beginning was luck and opportunity for me. And in the relationship between the two of us, development is right.

It is right to seek advice now. The question the two of us decided to ask together today was whether it would be okay for our relationship to continue like this. More than anything, since I’m actually having an affair with Yoon-jung, I really want to hear advice from somewhere.

A relationship accompanied by love and pleasure is the last, isn’t this a very good sign? Love and pleasure are present now, but it is guaranteed that they will exist in the future, and there is nothing to wish for if they can become stronger.

“Do you like the commentary?”
“Yes. Are you Chaekyung?”
“Me too. I think it’s really strange. It’s just what I want to hear.”

The teacher replied with a smile.

“Not necessarily. Sometimes there are results that you don’t want to hear, and interpretations that you want to deny. However, if the two of you looked good, it would be safe to say that good forces were at work. Then, based on the causal relationship, I will explain…”

After that, we each had tarot readings for one more question. I asked about my place in our family and the attitude I should take, and Chae-kyung asked how she should behave when there was something that bothered her about her relationship with her friend. In the blink of an eye, 40 minutes passed, and the teacher offered us one last cup of tea.

“The Tarot ends here. It’s just that I’m holding a special event shortly after I opened the store. Would you be interested?”
“Which event?”
“I don’t know if you’ve heard of the hypnotic experience. Experience a hypnotic state through simple suggestion and relaxation.”

It’s hypnosis. It’s even harder to believe than divination like the tarot. How much I laughed at my mom and Junhee every time I saw a program about that on TV. But for some reason, what Mr. Lee says has weight and persuasive power. Wouldn’t hypnosis really be possible for this person?

“That… Do I have to pay?”
“Oh, of course it’s an event, so it’s free. It’s not that great. It’s just a short suggestive experience that you can have sitting here in a chair.”

The teacher still had a nice smile on her face, she said. I wanted to be honest, so I asked Chae-kyung.

“How will we do it? They say it’s free, but I’m fine.”
“Um, hypnosis… Isn’t it scary?”

The teacher laughs as if he heard Chae-kyung whisper quietly.

Haha, it’s not scary. What we imagine when we say hypnosis is realistically impossible. For example, the tea in this cup now feels lukewarm. It is impossible to damage the body or force it against the will.”
“I see. Let’s do it just once.”

Chae-kyung reluctantly nodded her head. So we decided to try the hypnosis experience.

“Now, first close your eyes and take a deep breath. Inhale deeply and exhale long. Just repeat slowly and pay attention to what I am saying. Picture in your head the chair you are sitting on right now.”

As the teacher said, I remembered the small chair I was sitting on.

“I draw myself sitting on it. Draw the walls of the store that surrounds you, and even the ceiling of this place.”

The walls and ceiling of the shop remind me of myself sitting in a chair.

“Now, the ceiling slowly peels off. Slowly and gently, like peeling off plastic wrap. The walls that surround me are slowly crumbling. Now you are sitting in a chair alone in a quiet place.”

I am alone in a quiet world, listening to his voice.

“I can feel the water slowly filling under my feet. This water is warm, gentle and soft. You welcome this water rising between your toes. The water rises slowly, wets the ankles and is just below the knees. I like the feel of my bare skin in contact with the water. Water cleanses the skin, heals wounds, and purifies everything bad.”

To be honest, I don’t know about hypnosis right now, but I feel like I have water on my legs for real. Plus, it seems to clean my skin.

“The water slowly diminishes. It shrank from the knee to the shin and from the shin to the ankle again. The water that has shrunk to your ankles is getting heavier. Water, heavy as mercury, is now solid as cement.”

Cement, ankles submerged in cement is never a pleasant experience. Inside this cement that seems to be getting harder, I felt my feet getting cramped.

“Now, the cement is almost hardened. Move your feet.”
“OMG…”
“Uh…?”

Although her eyes were closed, I could see that Chae-kyung was also taken aback. Neither she nor I can move her legs. Eventually, the teacher said the cement was gone, and when I opened my eyes, my feet moved freely again.

“How was it?”
“Wow, that’s really amazing.”

As Chae-kyung said, it was really amazing. I just closed my eyes and listened to him, but I really didn’t move as if my feet were submerged in cement. It was literally an amazing hypnotic mystery, itself.

“It’s just a trick to fool the brain for a moment. There is also more serious hypnosis, but how about it?”
“Is that even money…?”
“Um, that’s good. Since there is a lot of time until the next reservation, I will make it free of charge thinking that I will become a regular this time. Should you come again instead?”

We laughed and nodded. The teacher got up, locked the shop door, turned over the sign, and set up a large screen.

“For this hypnosis to be properly appreciated, there must be no external interference. It’s going to require a lot of concentration, so don’t worry too much and follow me carefully. Now, relax your body. Take another deep breath.”
“What about the eyes?”
“You can keep your eyes open this time. This is a new technique I developed called tarot hypnosis. Now, take a few deep breaths, please.”

The teacher went into the back of the store and came out with something. She went through another deck of cards one by one and held up a line to show us. There was something supernatural eye symbol drawn on the card.

“This card announces the beginning of hypnosis. Focus your mind on the pupil. Hypnosis has begun. You two are now under hypnotic influence. Do you understand?”
“Yes.”

The teacher — ———- – another ——- took out a card —— and showed it to us —.

“I focus on my voice. This card is a will card. Now, each of the wills of the two of you are contained in the cards in front of you. Do you understand?”
“Yes.”
“Yes.”

Now our—–our—–will—-on the card–

“This is a memory card. From now on, the memories of the two of you will be put here.”

Chaekyung and I left the store and looked at each other.

“Wow, that was really amazing.”
“I know. I never thought something like hypnosis would be possible.”

We had many amazing experiences under the guidance of teacher Taro. Chae-gyeong touched the hot tea casually, and I stood on my hand with one hand and lifted the chair with my toes. Things that were absolutely impossible if you were sober were possible with the teacher’s hypnosis.

“I want to come again soon.”
“I know. Will you come again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?”

It was the first time I had such a fun and strange experience. The teacher seemed to like us and said that next time we would hypnotize again for free. I am very much looking forward to my next visit.

“Wow, I really want to brag to others.”
“But you said you didn’t want to be known as a foolish person.”
“Yeah, you did. But he said it’s okay to tell nice girls, so I’m going to talk to Junhee and my mom.”

The teacher said that he didn’t like tarot or hypnosis being seen as pseudo. So we promised the teacher not to tell anyone about the hypnosis. However, since she still has to do business at the same time, she said that she should try to invite nice and pretty girls around her.

“Then should I ask Gahye?”
“I don’t think Ga-hye is interested.”

Chae-kyung shook her head and replied.

“Since Gahye is kind and pretty, the teacher will like it too.”

That’s not wrong. She said that the teacher also said that being pretty is the most important thing. The propaganda effect is good or something. Anyway, according to the teacher’s wishes, we decided to introduce the teacher’s tarot cafe to other women around us. I should keep it a secret from Chae-kyung and recommend it to Yoon-jung.
