Glimpse who you were before this life
Pick the ones that pull at you — don't think too hard.
A past life reading places you in a specific era and a specific role within it — not "you were royalty" but a scribe in Ptolemaic Egypt, or a weaver in a Song dynasty market town. The eras and the roles come from a fixed reference of 32 historical periods, each with its own atmosphere, archetypes and recurring themes.
Take it as a mirror rather than a record. The eras and archetypes are real history; what the reading does with them is a story about what you carry now.
Because almost nobody was one. The reference is weighted toward the lives people actually lived — farmers, traders, healers, soldiers — which makes for a more interesting reading than another Cleopatra.
The era and archetype are drawn when you ask, so a second reading can land somewhere else. Neither one is more correct than the other.
