After a day @ the beach my uncle decided to surprise me by taking me to this almost fortuneteller. But she was more than that; we’ll call her “Annabel”.My uncle left me with this woman in her odd smelly “office” (which was just her living room). We started talking and connected because she too was from Britain. She was easily 60 and I felt comfortable. Not only that but she was able to talk to me about things that I never EVER said to anybody out loud. She just would ask me these questions casually as if reading my mind.After pulling up some very personal childhood memories, she instantly asks me this question.“So what’s with this man you’ve got yourself all in a tizzy over?” I froze I just looked at her and debated telling her the truth. Since this is anonymous, I’ve liked an older man (who I am ashamed to say is 49). I started crying confessing that I’ve never been happier with having him around me. Annabel just said the relationship was bad news. But I refused to let her drop the topic so quickly. Seeing that I was unsatisfied with her blunt statement, instantly she decided to pull out a deck of Tarot cards and ordered me to pick one. I pulled out an all to familiar scene of Alice in Wonderland. Alice was frolicking around with the Mad Hatter and March Hare. It was labeled at the bottom ‘the Mad Tea Party’. Annabel got up and pulled out a book and read told me that the older man liked me and that he loved me. She said that he loved my energy and youth and he was jealous of it! She explained that Alice had a great time with the Hatter and Hare. After returning I re-read the chapter and was devastated to find that Alice was in fact horrified by the whole experience. That the Hatter and Hare (this man) had annoyed her so much that she had to excuse herself from the table. So now this is where I need all you Tarot lovers help. Do any of you know the meaning of that card? Although I sort of trust Annabel I fear that she did not understand the true meaning of the card. HELP.

reader, anonymous, writes (23 December 2008): Sorry Anyta, your right, I should have said Tarot cards CAN BE dangerous to some people. The problems of psychological addiction are widely known. Good to use now and again, unfortunately I've met people who have spent thousands of pounds on such things, and afraid to use their own judgement, but must consult a tarot card reading first. Like everything else, it's a case of be careful, not don't use. Thank you for pulling me up about that.
I agree with everything else you've said though. Cards can predict nothing, but as you say, they can make things clearer and help you along. Just don't become dependant on them. Make your own decisions for yourself.

I agree with other peoples posts here. A card can be interpreted to suit yourself. I must disagree with whoever advised you that tarot is dangerous, it is actually a laughable statement. Tarot is not a sign of what will happen in the future but advice on how to deal with situations or show how a situation may turn out if handled a certain way. You have your own free will and will take your own path, regardless of the advice of others. Tarot is simply trying to help you along

southofnonorth is verified as being by the original poster of the question All of your opinions were very helpful and as for the "alice" tarot deck, Annabel had easily two textbooks width of tarot cards mixed in with all different kinds of styles and illustrations. @ the time of the reading i was 17 so i believe she used the children's stack of tarot cards she owned over the adults.

Mine are illustrated by H.R Giger (the animator of the Alien films) and are personal and meaningful to me. Most people use a standard pack, therefore it's difficult for us to interpret this unusual pack this lady has.

reader, anonymous, writes (9 December 2008): Interesting question.. OK, I'll play, if you don't mind..
I can see what she means, and yes she's totally right. But tarrot cards are very personal and come in my designs, and I've never seen a pack like that.
But you know, she knows, without even the tarrot cards involved, that there can be no relationship between you and this older man, because it will just distress you and make you crazy like Alice. Yes it seems interesting, and yes it may be exciting for you and for him. But at 18 and him at 49, this is a crazy situation, that will take up all your energies and leave you with a headache.
Never seen the cards myself, but that old lady sounds good. Having anything to do with this man, makes you unhappy and crazy, leave the table and walk away.... Look what your doing, your turning this stuff over in your mind, and talking to strangers here on Dear Cupid, instead of doing something that makes you happy, makes you smile and brings positivity and happiness into your life...
PS: WARNING!!!! Tarrot cards are dangerous, never use them to often and do not become fixated with them to help you solve the problems in your life. Then can only show you things that you already know in your heart. This relationship is madness, stay away from this man.

 Hi there, that isn't a traditional tarot deck. But even so, each person translates and interprets cards differently.
Don't take hat reading so seriously. She is not god and it was just a glimpse into a moment in time.
But just off the top of my head knowing the Alice story.... the tea party to me could mean that you have a lot of eccentric friends... or that she and the hatter had a major communication problem. He was "mad as a hatter" and Alice is rational and curious.
THe thing with the cards is quite a few refer to men and to women. So, its natural to almost always read about a relationship and most relationships are anything but perfect.
I say, forget about the card. If you have a crush on an older man, well, that is part of growing up. You'll be in love with many men though out your life , some will work out and some will break your heart. You don't need a tarot reader to figure things out! Its just fun and not to take seriously.

Life has no set path. It is whatever you choose to make it.
If you care about someone, no "psychic" or Tarot card can predict or define it.
The future is not written yet and cannot be predicted. One can formulate an informed guess based on past events and other factors and come to a reasonable conclusion about what MIGHT happen. But an informed guess is still a guess.
