Tarot cards are good energy tool to
evolve, stimulate and develop your personal psychic abilities. It is created
specially to connect with the hidden power of your Third eye, to be open to the
divine cosmic flow of energy and aligned with the purpose of your Higher self.
~ 1. Who can use Tarot cards?
Absolutely everyone has abilities to use
and connect with the Tarot energy. The same as speaking and “listening” to
angels messages, Tarot is tool that can be energized from your mind, thoughts
and feelings. Even so (similarly to most spiritual practices and things), Tarot
wont serve to a person who simply doesn’t understand, feel or believe in its
energy. So first of all you need to be passionate about Tarot, symbols and
reading the symbolic language…Then you can tune into cards that you like, using
your intuition. That’s why yes, everyone, who truly “desires” can connect with
Tarot.
~ 2. Are Tarot cards positive or
negative? Are they safe to be used?
The answer to this question lies in the
energy, intention and personal qualities of each of us, who connects with
Tarot. (The same is valid for oracle cards). Tarot are totally safe to be used
as they are symbolical representation of cosmic flow of energy, as well as
human psychology archetypes. They are already situated deep in our conscious
and sub conscious mind. Every night we have dreams that connect with our past
and future lives, even we may not remember them. So Tarot uses the under
flowing energies of our inner mind. Even so Tarot can be used also for negative
and evil purposes. How? Remember that each spiritual tool has the ability to
take and absorb from the energy of the person who “owns” it. So its simple – if
your intentions are evil, your Tarot will have the same intentions, they will
be aligned with your purpose; If your intentions and mind are positive and
directed to the Light, Tarot cards will also be aligned to your mind pattern
and serve your high intention. That’s why be careful what kind of Tarot cards
you buy (what is the feeling of the pictures, are they dark or light?), and
also to whom you trust to be your “fortune teller” and what feeling / intuition
you have about this person? Is he/ she positive? Tarot, similarly as crystals and other
elements, uses the natural energies and will be aligned to your mind.
~ 3. How Tarot cards actually work?
As
I stated in 1). everyone can use and connect with Tarot cards. The only
condition is to have open mind, willing to understand symbols and passion to
work with it. As every spiritual tool, Tarot requires also practice and daily
efforts in the beginning, in order to reach to the level of mastery and to
“remember” and recognize the cards. That’s why my advise is – try to learn by
yourself, if you think you are smart enough, make your own “interpretation” of
Tarot and don’t just “copy” and paste meanings that you find in some web sites.
Tarot will be your tool, only when all the perceptions and meanings come out
from your heart and mind. For that reason, I would like to add more:
-
don’t read and read endlessly
from many different Tarot online sources or books. Concentrate in just one or
two. In this way you will have more clear vision on Tarot.
- Try to work daily with your
own Tarot cards (if you have), take out one or 3 cards of Major Arcanas each
day and make interpretations. Try to use not just messages, but to connect by
picture, imagination and feeling.
- Divide your daily Tarot study
in portions – first one week use only the Major Arcana cards (22). The second
week use Major cards and add to them one suit (ex. Suit of cups). Next week use
suit of Pentacles…and so on until you learn all suits. You will require also patience
and practice.
-
Take care to follow your
progress by making Tarot diary – writing every day what cards you draw, or if
you prefer make a list with meanings of all cards, which include basic phrases
and key words.
-
Finally – don’t be afraid
from Tarot, and don’t focus your attention on cards that you are “afraid of”,
because in this way you simply attract them. Rather be open and optimistic to
receive any good guidance from Tarot.
-
Handle Tarot in special way,
put it in a special place, cupboard or shelve where you can place crystals
around.
Tarot works by the universal law of
“attraction” but also by awakening and manifesting your own creative
imagination, your own reality, mind and psychology. That’s why it will be
totally accurate.
~ 4. Should I cleanse my Tarot deck?
Tarot is a very sensitive tool, so it should be cleansed
definitely after the first time it is unboxed. The best way to do that is to
touch each card, feel it, take a look at the deck, shuffle it and then take it
in your left hand (or as fan to your heart) and make a positive wish for what
you need the deck to help you. This is deck welcoming. Then you can smudge the
cards if you prefer with smoke of Sandalwood. Or you can skip that and put it
next to your bed –on a side table, and put a clear quartz crystal, amethyst or
other kind of stone above it. Tarot deck needs to be recharged fully for 12
hours. Leave it overnight and it will be recharged while you sleep. This is
also the best way to let your sub conscious mind connect with the deck.
Your Tarot cards need to be cleansed every once in a while
(like once in 2-3 months), so you can just put them near the window on full
moon night and place a crystal above them, or simply place them near your bed
side, when you sleep. (under pillow wont be an option, if you want your cards
to be clean and safe)
Note: it is not preferable to buy used Tarot decks, because
even if you cleanse them, they can still hold some remains of the previous
home/ owners energy. Spiritual tools are extremely sensitive to touch, that’s
why when you invite a friend/ friends, it’s the best if only your handle your
cards and not them. The same is valid for cards of someone else.
~ 5. Tarot cards collecting passion.
Recently more and more people just love and even are
addicted to collect different Oracle cards and Tarot decks. They are fascinated from
the beautiful and meaningful art and pictures of each card, as well as from the
beautiful messages. There is nothing wrong in such passion of collecting, as
Tarot are beautiful tool for uplifting energy and manifesting. Even so, don’t
go into extremes. If you just buy Tarot cards for “the sport” or hobby, that’s
quite ok, but…don’t forget each spiritual tool needs cleansing, handling and
practice. If you don’t use your cards, but only pile them up on your shelve,
then they will simply lose their energy, they wont serve you more as spiritual tools.
That’s why – have in mind that the more you love your cards – one special deck
–the more it will respond to you in the same way. You need to use new Tarot
cards for at least 4 weeks, so they can be fully aligned to your energy. You
can have as many decks as you wish, but I for me – more than 30 decks will be a
problem to be aligned to your energy or to handle.
Tarot cards are
more often used and favored by women, than men. That’s because women work more
with their creative imagination (Yin energy) and right half of the brain –
imagination, symbolism, interpretations, visions, Third eye. While men are on
the whole using more left part of the brain (Yang energy), logical mind,
pragmatic thinking, seeing-believing attitude. They love to trust things they
see, and wont accept easily something they don’t see. Of course there are many
exceptions from the rule –like psychics, clairvoyant men, or men who have
feminine side. But also –they are exceptions.
So go ahead, use your imagination, be open to the energy
flow, accept and receive love and guidance from the universe trough your Tarot
deck friend. And you will see how amazing life can be.
