The three cards I was given was the child, the tree and the coffin.

Purely based on my imagination, my initial impression of the cards were that each card represents a different stage in my life. The child represents a child like spirit, a sense of youth and carefreeness. The tree represents growth, however because it is a tree, it presents a slow growth that will take time to prosper. Requiring love and attention for optimal growth, similar to a person. The coffin however, represents the end of a phase in my life, or an end to a version of myself.

When applying these cards to my life, the coffin may represent the end of my youth. This is the last year of high school. High school is often associated with a sense of carefreeness and recklessness, therefore the coffin may present the end of that and the beginning of growth. As high school ends and university begins, this represents the beginning of a new phase of my life, which can be interpreted by the reflection shown in the card with the “child”. This illustrates that my past is behind me as there will be more to come in my future. This is evident as the card shows a child looking into the horizon, which may reflect a positive future.
