Victor Meldrew strike saved by the Pope

Or why you shouldn't do readings on yourself.
So having written about these two cards, they came up in the centre of a self-reading. Oh dear, what would befall me over the week?

Well nearly road kill twice in the same 7 days.
I couldn't do anything about cars skidding to a halt from the other lane right in front of me. (Most definitely the Tower)
My only thought as the adrenaline rushed through and I was able to miss them, was 'there but for the grace of God go I.' (Pope in the protective guise).
The 'Pope' in a reading would normally indicate a public celebration - weddings, christening all things we do in some form or other...The natural world. But this has given me more thoughts on the Pope card: so if and when it turns up, I will think that it will be a time for giving thanks for our many blessings.
In my reading the end result was the 2 of cups - seeking comfort. I probably had more than 2 cups of comfort on those nights!
