abt learning tarot and how?

Question

I am very much interested in learning the Tarot. I have my Marseilles deck and a guide book that came along with the set. However, I have no idea how should i begin learning the cards.

Do I memorise all the descriptions given? My deck has non-animated pip cards so I can't even attach "stories" with them. KIndly help me out. How do i get started?

Answer 1

If you are using Tarot cards as an oracle, you may be more inclined to read card meanings and spreads. But if using Tarot Cards as a tool for Psychic Ability you would be less likely to hold to any hard and fast guide lines. I’m a profession psychic and use Tarot Cards in a random way. In 25 years of professional readings I’ve never used any ‘meanings or spreads’ of tarot cards from any books.

So if you want to develop ‘Psychic Ability’ throw the books and guidelines away and let the images inspire you. But you may need to try the Rider Waite or another imaged deck.

I like the Hanson Roberts deck, the Robin Wood Tarot and the Connolly Tarot Deck. I don’t like the darker cards like Crowley’s Thoth Tarot, but each to their own.

The many different tarot decks available will all portray symbolic imagery which must then pass through your psychic senses and, given the context of the questions asked, bring forth a tarot card meaning that significantly answers your question.

BEWARE!

These are the original Egyptian Tarot cards from which so many other Tarot decks derived.

http://www.vopus.org/en/content/view/345/132/

They are sacred and we are not allowed to ask any unserious question(like "how will be the weather tomorrow", "am I beautiful or not", yes-no questions,etc.); the question must be serious(for example "why don't I get a job yet?", "what can I do to solve my family problem?","why I still can't find my soulmate",etc.). Also they must be sanctified before use, not letting others touch them(they'll lose accuracy since they will be charged with your energy), make some prayers before asking the Tarot, asking our Inner Father(the Divine within us to answer our question through the cards- the cards don't give an answer on their own, it's our inner Being that gives the answer through them), we must cense them before asking, sitting in a protective circle and so on.

Tarot cards are very attacked by Demons that is why we need to be careful not to use Tarot cards that you can find at any store, that are just derived from the originals and need to perform some protection stuff before using them. Cards being attacked by Demons=> attacking us too, our minds of course(I remember 2 dreams where one made incantations to my mind and I had to burn the cards).

Answer 3

When you pull a card look at it see what symbols "jump out" at You and figure out what this mean to you. Don't rely on the book, I agree with you they are confusing and may not have a meaning to you. Tarot cards are personal and only you can define the symbols.

Answer 4

the Tarot is a tool it helps spark your intution...so what I would recomend: is to look at each card, meditate on it; what comes to your mind when you meditate on this card.. do this with each card in the deck in turn.. you can make notes and look back on them later..the little book that comes with the deck is not ment to be memorized. it's just a guide to help you along...trust your instincts,listen to them.

This web site is very good----

I personally think the little book that comes with the deck is useless.

They are from the devil. Don't go there. You will be sorry.
