Tarot Talk & Technique

Does anyone here have experience with the Everyday Tarot Deck and the accompanying book? Is it of good quality? I like the art and interpretations and someday might like adding it to my collection. Thanks!

Not sure what it would be called, but has anyone found one card that they feel really represents themselves in some way?

Hi, I like to pick a card for each week and at the end of the week track it back to how it went, however sometimes I have had majors turn up for a reading like ‘wheel of fortune’ or ‘Devil’ but nothing really significant happened in those weeks. It becomes difficult for me to do daily card reading, hence weekly method is preferred but does anybody have suggestions on doing a better spread for this kind of a weekly reading to get better insights?

Can any of you advise on how the cards change in love readings from a general one trying to get to grips, want to be able to do love readings properly. X

Moonlight is a free web-based space to read tarot cards! You can also have a virtual room for up to 6 people where you can chat with video and audio. Years ago I had Orphalese, a desktop program, to read with virtual cards, but Moonlight has been a joy to discover. It comes preloaded with different decks, you can use a pen to draw on the workspace, use premade spreads or use your own spreads, etc...

Sacred Days of Yule is a reading done over 12 days, Dec. 20th and Dec. 31st. This is a self-reading, a lovely break each day from the busy holiday schedule by taking a few minutes for self-reflection. One card is drawn each day for interpretation, and then you review your overall reading. In past years we set this up as a group on AT forums, everyone reading for themselves in a single post, editing to add their daily interpretations. Being able to discuss, ask questions and share your experiences with others doing the same reading makes it a very enjoyable holiday tradition. I've posted the original reading spread and link in the Spreads forum. For now the p…

I'm used to shuffling playing cards. Even with these I find the standard shuffle, moving cards to the front and back of the deck takes ages to get them random. I prefer to riffle shuffle. My RWS deck is slightly larger as well as having lots more cards and I can only just riffle, by splitting the pack into four and doing two riffles. I'm not using reverses at the moment so I have to riffle vertically to keep the card's orientation, which is harder than riffle shuffling horizontally. Now I'm thinking about buying the new Lo Scarabeo Visconti Modrone deck, which is larger still. One of the things holding me back is worry that I just won't be able to shuffle them prope…

Sorry if this is a repeat thread. Let me know if it is! I was wondering when do you all stop shuffling? My friend said she feels electricity/energy and knows it's time to stop. Another said he hears a voice say it in his head. What about all of you?

Hi can any of you advise how to do a love reading? I know the meanings are different from a general one, I would like some guidance as I want to be able to read them properly. X

Looks like my deck Tabula Mundi is being pirated on Etsy, by a shop in the Ukraine called "VikingRunesPower". They lifted pictures and text direct from my site, and are reprinting it supposedly in the Netherlands (though they are in Ukraine). My cards are printed in the USA. I see lots of other decks being sold on their site, clearly against Etsy's rules that items must be handmade. Some of the other decks I see on there include: Animals Divine Steampunk Deviant Moon Wildwood Gilded Reverie Prisma Visions Universal Fantasy Masonic If you know any of these deck creators, let them know so they can file a…

I’m new to Tarot. So I don’t know all the ins and outs. Sometimes I’ll ask a question, and the cards don’t appear to answer it directly, but it pertains to my life. Is it possible the cards don’t always answer directly, but instead show you what you really should be looking at?

Hello friends, how are you? 🙃 Please, which arcana do you think may be related to jealousy? As I connect jealousy to possessiveness, control and desire of exclusivity... I tend to relate it to the Devil. These two combinations already appeared (outside the romantic context) and brought me a great feeling: Devil + Knight of Cups (when you are carried away by your own negative emotions); Devil + 3 Cups (when there are too many people...). It's curious because I've never connected jealousy with the Tower, but I think this could also be a possibility because of the impulsive and explosive tendency of this emotion... Do you have any different experiences to s…

What a great, intense weekend of tarot! It was amazing! There were 78 (no kidding!) attendees and 4 presenters. The presentations were based on tarot and the brain, natural biases, and Rachel Pollack. There was a nice display with her Shining Tribe deck and some beautiful quote cards we could pull from to receive a special message from Rachel. The actual service is later today, Wednesday July 19. On Friday night Mary Greer opened the event with a Tarot Circle that is a reading version of speed dating. Very cool way to a) meet other attendees and b) play a tarot activity that proves anyone can read the cards without knowing anything about tarot. There …

Hi fellow forum-ers, I have been on this journey of discovering my own technique to read tarot and this topic is a very interesting one for me. Initially when I was learning how to read the cards, I was able to catch up the upright meanings very quickly and they all made a lot of sense to me. However, when I started reading reversals, things just confused me and I could not make out what was what. After a lot of trials I decided to not read reversals anymore. But that makes me think if I am missing out on any messages from my spirit guide. Apart from this, I also want an insight on other readers techniques and practice of …

Like, if you were lusting after a very rare OOP deck for quite some time and what is currently available through Amazon/eBay/etc are horrendously, brazenly priced, and suddenly you spot a copy that's clearly counterfeit but does not really differ from the original quality-wise, would you give it a go? Or you found a bunch of knock-offs of popular decks that are compellingly, temptingly-priced, would you give in? In what cases might you be persuaded to buy an imitation Tarot deck? Altho the decks that I like are very rarely available locally (I think I had to import around 70% of my collection), I have never bought a bogus deck. Maybe that's because they are quite scarc…

I'm just sort of curious! Out of the time that you spend in your day working with tarot, thinking about tarot, studying tarot, playing with tarot, what sort of balance you've struck! I'll talk about my balance in a bit, but I want to see what the polls bring in first!

Do you let other people use your decks? I generally don't.

Hey all! I am a novice in astrology ( took a few lessons) and at the moment I am not very interested in going too deep into it- since it is very time consuming I do however, want to better implemet astrology into my tarot readings - especially to gain another layer of understanding the majors and court cards . So , I am looking for a good source to gather that info ( a reccomanded book/ forum/what ever) If you have ideas- Would LOVE to hear them thank you!!!

Just looking through some of my old stuff and came across this. I have no idea where it came from so I can't give credit to who wrote it originally. But it tickled me at the time and it is pretty uncanny. So I thought I would offer it up as a share!

Hi there, I have only ever used the Mythic tarot deck with 84 cards. I would like to buy a pack of cards and workbook for my niece but was suprised to find looking online that tarot decks vary in the number of cards. Is there a 'right' number? I think I will have to buy her an 84 pack as it is the only one I know so it would be confusing otherwise. All advice appreciated. I hope joining this site enlarges my understanding of the tarot. Which is quite limited really. I do my own readings twice a year and stick to that. Interestingly in my last reading (April this year) the central card was the hanging man, representing sacrifice. Which pretty much summed it u…

Not asking if you did it, not prying about your feelings about it, but feel free to share anything. I'm just asking if anyone else has been asked to read on when someone would die or if they were going to die (as in someone was ill or had an ill friend or family member). I remember some years back, a fellow reader said her husband was CERTAIN she knew when he would die just because she was a reader! She never read on it, brought it up, he just ASSUMED since she read tarot....

I tried searching using multiple ways of expressing it but couldn't find a thread on the cards being used in movies or t.v. shows. Is there one?

Hello 🙂 my Q is if it's possible to do a reading asking for a specific year in the past. I'd like to know what happened to me exaclty in year 2014.. is it possible to get accurate info on a particular date/year in the past?

What did you do exactly to memorize the 78-card deck of the Tarot? Just curious. Rick
