Daily Draw - Page of Pentacles and The Tower

Today was one of those amazing WOW readings with the cards. This morning I drew the Page of Pentacles and The Tower. These two cards refer to my eight year old son's prediction of the Florida wildfires. The Page can represent a child or a messenger. In this case it's both. The flames in the Tower card represent the message itself.

The other night, we were watching Raiders of the Lost Ark, and right before the commercial, it was the part where Indiana Jones was in the snake pit holding a fire torch. When it cut to commercial, I started flipping channels. I landed on an old SNL episode where they were spoofing Oprah. One of her guests was a woman whose house was lost in a fire, and another cast member was seated next to her, playing John Travolta plugging his "fire" movie, Ladder 49.

A couple seconds later, my son heard a truck going by our house, and as it's a very quiet street, he was curious. He exclaimed that it was a fire truck, and wondered why it didn't have its sirens on. Then I flipped back to the Indiana Jones movie, and got there just in time to see a commercial featuring a foot with flames coming out of the toes.

I was completely oblivious to all of this until my son put it all together, announcing that we had just witnessed four things relating to fire within a couple of minutes. He said it must be a message that there would be wildfires here in Florida soon. I said maybe he was right (as I didn't want to negate any messages he felt he was receiving), but also didn't want him to worry or be afraid, so I told him that if there were wildfires, they would probably be more likely to occur in another part of the country (which I thought to be true).

These "fire messages" happened on Saturday night. Last night (Monday), I was flipping through the channels during a commercial (yes I always do this, I can't stand sitting through commercials). I flipped by a news channel... I never watch the news, but something caught my eye and made me stop. They were showing live footage of wildfires sweeping across Florida. I couldn't believe it! I'm not sure when the fires had originated, but lo and behold, my son had been right, and his message was confirmed less than two days later!

So the Page of Pentacles card (with its fiery red, orange and yellow colors) represents the messages my young son was receiving about the Florida wildfires (whose flames are clearly seen in the Tower card). The Page has his back to the Tower, so it doesn't look like he will be directly involved with the fires (hopefully indicating the area we live in won't be affected). The Tower being behind his head shows that it's something that he saw with his mind, rather than his eyes. What's interesting is that the Tower is in the water, with waves crashing up against it, and these fires are happening along the Atlantic coast of Florida, a peninsula state surrounded by the ocean.

What an amazing pair of cards to come up today. What surprised (and impressed) me was my son's reaction to it all. When I told him the news this morning, confirming the wildfires, and also about the tarot cards I drew this morning, he looked at me like, "Yeah, and...???" He wasn't phased by it because it didn't come as a surprise to him. He never doubted the message, and just assumed it would be true. So why shouldn't it be confirmed on TV and in my cards? He probably would have been more surprised if it hadn't. I love that!
