Does anyone know any sites where you can list tarot cards picked and get an interpretation back?

Question

I'm just starting to try to read tarot cards but would appreciate another take on the cards and am trying to find any sites that might be able to do this? Any suggestions...

Answer 1

In my eyes Aecletic Tarot is the best site on the net for Tarot.

http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/

See online images of Tarot cards from hundreds of decks, read reviews of Tarot decks and books, learn more about Tarot and the card meanings (http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/learn/), send Tarot postcards, and join AT's active Tarot community.

The Aecletic Tarot forum is an awesome place to learn about Tarot and share your ideas and knowledge.
http://www.tarotforum.net

The AT forum is a busy and active community with over 7000 members (Tarot students, collectors, readers and enthusiasts) and there are hundreds of posts every day. You can also upgrade your free membership and become a subscriber to access extra features and benefits.

One area in the forum is titled "Your Readings" and it is a great area to explore. You can post your spreads and your own interpretations and ask for advice, tips, etc. Often you'll have several people offering help and feedback. However, keep in mind that AT considers the Forum a learning environment. Therefore, they frown upon using this forum for simply posting the cards because that will be interpreted as asking for a free reading. This is a no-no that may result in your thread being deleted. In turn, you can also help out others by posting your take on another poster's spread and card interpretations.

There is also a section for reading exchanges and I love the Tarot Talk section as well as the ones dedicated to Tarot decks and Tarot spreads.

If you want a generic canned answer that may, or may not, match up with what you are looking at, then fine. Go google Tarot Cards and see what comes back.

But reading tarot cards is more inspiration than it is interpreting the meaning of the cards. The cards are tools, giving you a visual on a situation that you draw from your own inner being.

If you are reading for another, it touches on the Psyche, channels from your spirit guide and is a road map - you have to apply it to the journey.

That is why people actually study the decks, learn what the cards are signifying and then learn to tune themselves to the cards and to themselves for personal readings. Then you learn to tune to others to do public readings.

The books are out there, choose a deck that comes with a book so you can learn what the artist was trying to convey in his/her artwork. That is the basics.

Then, close the book, look at the cards, and see what they are telling you. A good reader combines both.

Otherwise, if a canned answer is what you want, there are lots of sites that have meanings of cards. It will become confusing, and probably frustrating.

Go with what the cards speak to you.

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, spreads or reversals’ 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 believe we are all psychic, but for the majority the gift or the belief has been long knocked out of them. Educated out is another way of looking at it. Many professional psychics have grown up in a psychic friendly environment. Perhaps a grand-parent or parent with the knowledge has helped bring the extra sense out in the open and encouraged its use. But there are as many practicing psychics who have not had the benefit of caring psychic guidance and who have still managed to develop and hone this natural extra sense. The Psychic Sense.

To tap in to it more you can go to my free develop-psychic-ability page here: http://www.psychic-junkie.com/develop-psychic-ability.html

But on the other hand, if you want to use the Tarot as an oracle, a form of divination that needs no real ‘psychic ability’, then keep the books and use the meanings and spreads if you prefer.

Here is a free download demo for a great Tarot program. To keep the size of the demo manageable it contains the Rider/Waite deck, the actual program will have 10 complete decks. This Demo version of Tarot is a full working copy for 30 days. So you get 30 days to study meanings and spreads! http://www.free-tarot-download-demo.wotsnext.com


You can use this four minute video as a brief meditation on the tarot that, repeatedly viewed, will help you learn how to read tarot cards psychically. http://www.psychic-junkie.com/tarotvision.html

Answer 4

I'd be more than willing to give you some of the different meanings for the cards if you'd like to email me.

I do find though that the best readings are the ones where you throw the book away and just let the cards speak. Use and trust your intuition as much as possible. A good way to try this is to deal out say 12 or so cards and then make them into a story using what each of the pictures tell you. You can also try meditating with them invidually to get a better connection with them.

Answer 5

Well, the modern names are a little miss leading I feel. You are right that there are many packs and patterns with numerous variations on the trumps. Here are the standard cards starting with the trump sequence that took as its theme a traditional Christian triumph procession - hence they were called trionfi, meaning triumphs and from which we get our word trump. It was the invention of tarot that marked the introduction of trumps into card games! Matto, or The Fool - An un-numbered card, not traditionally a trump at all, functioning in the earliest games as an excuse. It is still used this way in Italy, Sicily, France, Denmark and Switzerland. Other countries now employ it as the highest ranking trump. 1. Il Bagatto - Not really a magician at all, that was a change made by occultists. This is the lowest trump and ranks among the three honour cards, with a higher point value and scoring an extra bonus if it is used to win the last trick of a hand. In Austrian-Hungarian games, this was also known as the Sparrow. 2. Not a priestess but the Popess. It seems like a strange figure to us now, perhaps even heretical but in fact this was a common figure in Christian art during the 15th century and later, representing diverse subjects such as faith, church law, doctrine, the new covenant, etc. Some later packs, where these allegories were less established, were cautious and replaced the figure with alternatives such as Juno. In Austrian-Hungarian games this is known as the Uhu, or Eagle Owl. 3. The Empress. In Austrian-Hungarian games this is known as the Kakadoo or Cockatoo. 4. The Emperor. In Austrian-Hungarian games this is known as the Marabou (a type of African Stork). 5. The Pope. Again, not a card that ever actually worried the church (which never objected to tarot) but again, some card makers replaced it with alternatives such as Jupiter, or even Bacchus! The Tarocco Bolognese replaced trumps 2-5 with four equally ranking trumps called The Four Moors. (this was a political move rather than a religious one) 6. Love or The Lovers 7. The Chariot 8. Justice (occultists often swap this card's order with Strength) 9. Originally Father Time, featuring Old Man Time with his hour glass. Later card makers mistook this for a lamp and he became a hermit. 10. The Wheel of Fortune 11. Strength 12. When French card makers added titles to the trumps, they didn't quite know what to make of this one and called it simply The Hanged Man. However, there was no mystery about the card in Italy, where they called it The Traitor - because that's what happened to traitors there, they were hung by one ankle and left to die slowly. 13. Death 14. Temperance. There is an interesting note to this card, usually shown with wings. In the early Italian cards, she is shown seated with the corners of the chairs back showing above her shoulders. Later card makers began to show the corners as being curved until the French card makers saw them and interpreted them as the tops of wings, electing to show the wings more explicitly. 15. The Devil 16. The Tower. Early Italian cards do not really match the more familiar designs of the Marseilles pattern, instead they were often known as the Devil’s House, showing a burning building. 17. The Star 18. The Moon 19. The Sun 20. The Judgement, also known in Italy as the Angel and is ranked above the World as the highest trump. 21. The World. There are then the four suits from a regular pack of playing cards, each with 10 pip cards and four court cards, being the King, Queen, Cavalier, and Valet. It is worth noting that it is the Queen that is the addition here as Latin suited cards had (and still have) all male courts. The Latin suit signs are swords, cups, coins, and batons. When playing cards originally came to us via the Islamic world, batons were actually Polo sticks - but the game was not familiar in Europe at that time. While it is common for modern occultists to name coins as pentacles, this was actually due to a mistake in translation from a French source that interpreted them as talismans. Of course, other suits have been used and many modern packs use the French suites.

Answer 6

why don't you ask about it here??? Is there any 1 card you want alternative meanings for?
I learned how to read the cards, I bought books, '78 degrees of wisdom' is very good, and so is 'the mythic tarot'. I can't remember who wrote them.
Why don't you start by picking 3 cards, see what you make of them yourself, and then ask here for other interpretations

Answer 7

Check out the tarot on google. Then check out any Spiritualism centres on google. There is usually someone who can help with the Tarot in Spiritualism.
