I had the funniest exchange the other day. My client had drawn the 5 of wands, and I went into my usual description of it - there are people, clashing with sticks, but it's sticks, not swords, so it's like a game of hockey, and if you sit on the field and huddle, it's terrifying but if you step up and grab and stick and play, then it's just a game.
And she said, a field? Hockey's on ice. And then we had to have a cultural exchange. As an Australian, we played field hockey at school. We had these long curved sticks and ran. Ice hockey was a derivative of field hockey. She wasn't sure about that, and we looked it up on our phones.
"Well, I'll be," she said. "you learn something new every day!"
