There are a lot of different Tarot card decks you can choose to read from. Some people slerp around when it comes to Tarot and use lots of different decks whereas I’m strictly monogamous. I only use the Rider Waite which is the most popular of the lot in the English speaking world. (In Latin countries it’s the Tarot de Marseille.)
The deck was drawn by a woman Continue reading
I had my first Tarot troll yesterday. Somebody left a message on my Facebook page ‘The Tarot Teaclub’ saying I should Continue reading
This is the Nine of Swords. We’ve looked at this card before. A person sits up in bed with their head in their hands looking worried. Nine swords hang over their head. Roses adorn the bedspread.
In my last post about this card I said it represented Continue reading
What I love about Tarot is that although it can be waffly at times (You’re laughing at me right now aren’t you? Cause you think I’m stating the obvious, huh?) it also says some things very clearly. And one of its clearest and most powerful lessons is about what it takes to be successful. Not in the worldly materialistic sense of owning houses and rolling in cash but in the Tarot sense of being who you want to be in the world. And it’s not money or friends or titles or degrees that gets you there (although they can help), it’s something very surprising. Ready, for it? You’ve been waiting all your life to hear this haven’t you? It’s….. Continue reading
This is the Five of Wands card. As you can see, five people are each holding a wand with which they jostle one another. No one has the upper hand. I’ve always thought that this card referred to competition in the workplace. You know, cause wands represent our skills and talents. And also cause work feels like this don’t you reckon? There’s always office politics. Stuff going down.
But right now I’m experiencing a different shade to this card. Continue reading
In Tarot a cup represents feelings. Cup cards therefore refer to the relationships in your life. You can kind of break them down as follows:
Yesterday I described the Five of Cups as being about heart-break and the Three of Swords as being about heart-ache. I want to explore today what I meant by that. Let’s have a look at them shall we?
So. Tarot cards are numbered and those numbers have meanings. It’s another tool to help you understand each card’s message. Generally speaking, as the number gets higher the experience becomes more intense or evolved.
The Tarot of Numbers goes something like this… Continue reading
This is by far my favourite Tarot card. Because it’s the one which represents an opportunity to change your life. Through losing those rotten old habits that have been holding you back from being who you truly want to be. And for me that’s what Tarot is all about. It shows me how to be a more functional more beautiful human being. (I know, you’re surprised, right. You thought it was the devil’s tool, lol.)
However The Moon is not an easy card to understand. Just take a look at it would you.
I’d like to clarify something I said yesterday. I suggested that The Star could signify someone leaving their husband or wife. That’s not quite right. It’s more the period straight after you’ve left them. Let me explain.
The Star card is part of Life Lessons Tarot, the incredibly profound inner book which traces the significant experiences we all have as human beings. It comes after The Tower card and before The Moon as follows:
The Tower is Continue reading
