I was thinking about a potential love interest at the time of the reading...

First and foremost, I’d really like to know what this deck is and what the cards are (specifically the names of each card if possible). Interpretation would also be appreciated!

I had a tarot reading at a festival a couple of weeks ago about a new love interest. The reader used a deck I didn’t recognise and didn’t really explain what each card was, and she also seemed a bit unsure about the overall message. We ended up landing on the idea that the reading might have been more about me and my emotional patterns than about the other person.

At the time, I didn’t think much of it, but it has stuck with me in hindsight.

For context: I’d been talking to this guy for about a month. We were in daily contact, went on two dates, bumped into each other once, and ended up sleeping together. (We hadn’t slept together until after the reading.) It felt like there was mutual interest and momentum building.

However, he has now ended things, saying he realised he’s emotionally unavailable and still has unresolved feelings for someone he was previously seeing. That person is polyamorous, whereas he is typically monogamous, and he’s decided he can’t continue seeing me while he processes that situation.

I’m not really trying to say the tarot “predicted” anything, but I’m curious about the reading in hindsight because it left me confused at the time, and now I’m trying to understand the experience as a whole.

If anyone has seen a reading that didn’t clearly point to the other person but ended up reflecting the querent instead, I’d be interested to hear your thoughts.

(Note: I also posted this in the tarot subreddit, but have a feeling the post might be removed)

An Open Letter to Men at the Crag

I’m working on a reflective video essay called “An Open Letter to Men at the Crag” about female experiences, gender dynamics, climbing culture, confidence, beta spraying, social pressure, safety, inclusion, etc.

I’m interested in hearing specific experiences people have had at crags or gyms — positive or negative — especially moments that changed how comfortable you felt in climbing spaces.

I’m less interested in debates about whether these things “really happen” and more interested in lived experiences and patterns people have noticed.

I’d also love examples of men who made climbing spaces feel safer, calmer, or more welcoming.

I may anonymously reference themes or quotes in the final video.
