Kitchen Tarot: DMV Angel


Today I had to go to the DMV. Something no one looks forward to.  I had to get my new license in this state, and title and registration for my car.  The DMV is famous for having lines five miles long and you can pretty much count on spending a good chunk of your day there... so it wasn't something I was terribly excited about. 

I have a friend that I call on for protection and good luck with my car. He's a friend who passed away a few years ago, but we always had good times and funny memories as teenagers together in our cars, so I always feel he's looking out for me when I'm driving and need car assistance.  So this morning I called on him asking for my trip to the DMV to go smoothly. I put a gemstone in each of my two pockets... stones that represent good luck and that I affiliate with my dear friend.

Before I left the house, I drew these cards. Actually, Temperance flew out of the deck, which was quite magical since Temperance is usually depicted by an winged angel, and I had just called on my angel friend for help.  And the first thing I thought of was the last time I called on him for help, I also received the Temperance card (here). And both that time and today, my experiences turned out to be divinely out of the ordinary.

I then cut the cards and drew two more. I was not suprised, but delighted nonethless at the magic, when the Chariot was the first card I cut to. It doesn't get more accurate than drawing the Chariot for a trip to the DMV!  Last was The Hanged One (which is appropriately named The Kitchen Timer in this deck), and I assumed it represented the huge amount of time I would have to invest in the errand.

When I got to the DMV, I was informed that I had to go to the next town for my license, as they didn't do them at my local office. But I was able to get my title and registration there. There. Was. No. Line.  I am not even kidding. No line. It was empty!!!  Completely empty. I walked right up and I kid you not, the two ladies behind the counter playfully fought over who got to help me. Not who HAD to help me... who GOT to help me!  The lady I ended up with was amazing. She was so nice, so sweet, so helpful, so friendly, so happy, I thought I was in another world. When I was leaving, I told her she was absolutely the nicest person I had ever met at a DMV, and I thanked her.  She then touched her heart and thanked me, and not just verbally, but her expression and the soul in her eyes was so heartwarming. I swear to you that I left that DMV with tears in my eyes. My kids asked me why I was about to cry! I put my hands in my pockets and silently thanked my angel friend. He definitely went above and beyond for me today.

So then we went to the other DMV to get my license.  There wasn't much of a wait there, and it all went smoothly. I guess the Timer card referred to the amount of time it took, having to go to two offices, rather than waiting forever in one office.

Also, on an unrelated note, we got a new cookbook today, and the recipe my son wanted me to make required a rolling pin, but I left ours behind when we moved. I'll have to get another one ASAP. So it was synchronous to see the Chariot being represented by a rolling pin in this deck today.

Maybe the Hanged One represented your own expectations about how long you would have to wait? You were prepared to wait, but you called on an angel and your prayers manifested ... :)

Just a thought. I often find that the cards are representative of my own thoughts and expectations ( and I tend to read them that way), so it came to mind when I read your story. Which was very touching - I got tears in my eyes reading it, too!

Hi Froey! Yes, the Hanged One was most likely reflecting my own expectations. :) Glad you enjoyed reading about my experience. :)

:) I'm sorry if that sounded simplistic, what I meant was the two were connected - your expectation which you saw represented in the card and then turning it around into something else completely. Very LOA!

Nothing wrong with simplistic! :)
