For almost a year now (or maybe more), I have been having recurring dreams about finally getting the retirement home I always wanted, but being alone there. In recent months, the dreams have indicated that I wasn't alone because my husband was traveling solo somewhere, as I initially thought my subconscious was indicating because of his dream to join a professional fishing circuit, but because he had passed on tragically.

As a Wiccan, I often will pull a single Tarot card from the deck in the same way that people will read the horoscopes in the newspaper. When I first started doing so, it was something of a game, kind of a way to prepare myself mentally for the day at work - but as time has gone on, the readings have become more and more accurate.

For the past several weeks, the card I've pulled in the single card draw has been "Temperance" - warning that I will soon be "tested by fire" and will need to be strong. Last night in my dreams, I was attending my husband's funeral - and haven't dared to even attempt to pull a Tarot card today.

I would like a psychic's view on these "signs", as I have a bad feeling that the Lord and Lady are trying to prepare me for something my mother has lived through, but I had always hoped wouldn't come to my door.

And if you aren't a psychic. I accept your thoughts, but please understand that the Tarot is part of my chosen religion....
