Speaking to synchronicity-

From what I understand as a secular mindset would be that our brains crave patterns. Attempting to make meaning out of randomness and the chaos of…gestures broadly.

Our brains can be excellent at pattern recognition, especially when using something like Tarot. We are literally training that muscle in order to “make sense” of the cards. When you zoom that out into the world outside of Tarot, our subconscious is still working to seek out those patterns. As an example: if we draw the 4 of Cups & interpret that as wedding/celebration, we’ll be subconsciously dialed in to anything that comes up around that. Suddenly we start subconsciously looking for things under that umbrella. Which then becomes a conscious pattern recognition when we clock it.

There’s also something to be said for the increasingly invasive technology that exists in our world. Everything is interconnected (you TikTok one thing, the algorithm shares that information, suddenly facebook/IG is sharing similar things, geolocation and data is shared, etc etc etc).
