Owl Song
Just to clarify a bit on my original post...
I have never used Tarot with the belief that it would tell me the future. Rather than predictive reading, I have always approached Tarot with the idea that it might offer me a projection. Projections can change as variables and circumstances change. Future outcomes are fluid.
I have a meta-awareness that my "crisis of faith" (and I'm using this term very, very loosely) isn't even rational or in line with my view on Tarot. So for me to feel let down or disappointed by something I don't even believe Tarot would do -- is a bit batty. I recognize that wholeheartedly.
Nevertheless, the feelings were there. Feelings are such pesky things, aren't they?
I am coming out of my funk and regaining clarity day by day.
It's been very helpful reading all of these responses. Thank you for helping me to gain perspective -- and I hope my experience might help somebody else down the line, too, if others have gone through or are going through the same thing.
