Story
A "noisy ghost" causes disturbances by flinging and displacing objects. Poltergeists were invisible, but were experienced as an unseen force. Mischievous spirits date back to the Romans, and continued to mystify people throughout the ages. Later, it was thought that poltergeists were actually spawned from the living through a process called psychokinesis; moving objects with the mind. The flying debris is the shadow manifesting itself in destructive ways. The sparkles of energy represent displaced energy. The mundane objects symbolize how the unconscious can affect real-time events.
Divinatory meaning
This is the beginning of a cycle of intense activity. Focus on what you need to do to manifest your energy in creative, productive ways.
