| Want to try tarot card reading? Well, it is actually quite simple and not that difficult to perform. Before anything else, try lighting the candles and incense, take some gradual deep breaths, solemnly meditating. This will generate a sense of sanctity for your entire session. Make sure that you bring together all your items you need and that include the tarot cards. Then, you could think of a particular issue or question which is specific to make it your reading focus. Nevertheless, you could also opt for an open tarot card reading-- which means that whatever the cards disclose to you, that's all you can see.
In advance, you must have a chosen layout for your session. You can in fact make your own layout or they can also be found online or in books. So once you already got a question, you could shuffle the cards in any way you like to. This is when you concentrate on connecting with you and your inquiry. And when you feel ready to stop shuffling, then you can also cut the cards. After doing this and you feel as it's high time to layout your cards, then you can begin. Now for interpreting your reading, you could choose from several alternatives.
There are some tarot decks which come with books that include the interpretations for the cards given. To understand all these, it's good enough that you consult a book. Nonetheless, you got numerous alternatives for tarot card reading layouts. You could make use of symbolism and interpret each and every one of them. You could even view the tarot cards as a story, with the first one as the starting point in the story and the final one to be the end. You could also see the artwork on every card, looking at it as an image-display regarding your query.
Or perhaps you could even depend on your insight or hunch, and simply allow your internal monologue tell you what every one of them means or defines. It is highly significant to see each and very card one by one, and at the layout in general. If there are certain areas of your reading where you want more information or you simply don't fully grasp, then you could layout more cards if you want to. But if you understood well enough yet got another query or concern, you could pull another tarot card or two to seek for added infos.
If you like, you could you could keep a journal by writing down the question, the date, and every tarot card in the layout. The advantage of this is you could always return to it and review what your last session has revealed. After your session, you could end your tarot card reading courteously and slowly. Then, you can thank anyone else (who helped you) and the Universe for the guidance and pick up your cards and return them back in the deck. Place all your reading items away as if you're ending a divine practice. | |
