Reading the Tarot is a skill
like any other..
If you practice and ‘attune’ to your cards you will do better than if you simply lay them to one side and occasionally pick them up and expect to be brilliant at reading them!
When you first obtain your new pack,
it is very important to become very familiar with that pack (more packs may be bought later, but it is your first pack that you will learn the Sacred Tarot from!) Have them with you all of the time to begin with, look at them often, and if something happen in your life that you need direction, or an answer to...take out one card and see if it gives you that answer or direction. You may well be amazed at how relevant and to the point the card you have chosen may be!
To
start with don’t even attempt to do a ‘full’ spread
To begin a formal three card reading
for yourself or another you must prepare. The small amount of ‘ceremony’ here is not strictly essential, but I believe that if you treat your skill and your cards with loving respect, they and it will repay you in like manner very quickly!Keep
a special cloth for laying your cards out on
invest in a beautiful box for that purpose, but a bag made to the right size is fare more convenient for the pack you always have with you.
When you place your cards down on their special cloth then sit for a moment and ‘tune in’ to them, greet them like the friends that they are, and in your mind ask that, with the help of your Guides and Angels they will lovingly lead you to wisdom.
Before
you undertake a short reading
You can approach the reading two ways.
Either ask them to choose three cards themselves from the pack that you have shuffled and then spread (backs up) on your cloth, or get them to shuffle the cards, themselves, then you spread them and ask them to choose. (Personally I do not allow my clients to shuffle the cards, preferring to have done that myself previously and laying the cards out so that they can simply choose without having to go through the business of shuffling...you are reading Tarot...not playing poker!)When
they have chosen their cards,
If the cards chosen seem not to supply the information or answer required,
then ask the querant to choose another card for clarification. This card is often the most revealing and great relevance should be placed on it, although it may simply tell you that a clear answer is not possible through the cards.
I always have a crystal ‘dowsing pendulum’ with my Tarot cards
for just such an occasion, as you may well get a simple ‘yes or no’ answer this way if the cards are unclear. Used together the Sacred Tarot and a crystal pendulum are a wonderful combination, and I would strongly recommend that you keep your favouritependulum in the bag with your Tarot cards as they are so compatible to work with together!
All the information in this guide
is directly from my own experience over the past 23 years.I
turned to the Sacred Tarot
relationship. I was looking for answers and a way to move forward in my own life. The Sacred Tarot provided both!
The Tarot became my mentor and my friend!
And once I had regained my strength and self-esteem I began to read for others with great success! Sometimes I feel that we have had to suffer ourselves to be of help and service to others.Reading
the Tarot can be a life skill and an life tool,
