Tarot Talk & Technique

Very simple really. I was wondering if anyone here uses tarot and video games or as a video game. Personally I use them for games in which I have to select a character to play such as a fighting game or a game such as League of Legends. And if you do use them for video game how do you use them?

Now the cards i have they are not tuned to my energy . I'm having raider white card now.... Before I had dead girl tarot card. any recommendations ? Blessings

I feel very uncomfortable with reading the tarot for people so much so that I freeze, I mean, I literally freeze. I know the meanings and could say them, but something inside of my freezes up. Especially if they seem sceptical. I can talk in front of people just fine until it comes to this. I can't reven ead the cards for people because of this. I can do it if I'write the reading, but I know most people want their cards read by chat or zoom now.Has this ever happened to you? What did you do?

Elsewhere, I mentioned that I am a natural empath. I'd commented that I don't do readings for or about people I have ill-will towards and that because I'm also a practicing magician, I don't want to take on the burden of my negative energy towards them causing them actual suffering (aka black magic): too many things have happened over my life that I can't explain or pin on coincidence for me not to take what I push out into the universe really seriously. I want to talk about this more but completely outside the context of politics or regarding any specific person. ((sorry for before!!)) I want to talk about the benefits and side effects of being a natural empath as a…

I've been experimenting with a "psychometric" approach to card selection for my spreads. I came upon an old AT post that talked about an Enrique Enriquez practice exercise in which you hold your hand over a shuffled deck and concentrate on a particular number position in the stack, trying to "psychically intuit" its nature. I expanded on this approach by meditatively deriving a series of numbers to use in picking cards for a spread. I realize some people already use this method when pulling cards from a fan, but I'm suggesting something a little different. https://parsifalswheeldivination.com/2020/05/23/psychometric-card-selection/

To what extent, in your experience, do a querent's unspoken hopes affect the cards that come up to illustrate the future/ outcome of the situation on which they are reading? For example, being fired from a job, or a rejection of some kind, may seem like a "negative" outcome to most people. If the querent, however, wants such an outcome (and is conscious of their wish, but does not speak of it), might it show up as, say, the Sun, Knight of Cups, or Page of Cups (cards that traditionally refer to good news) where for others it might have shown up as the Tower, Death or Ten of Swords? On this note, are such cards as the Tower, Death and Ten of Swords more likely - in y…

There'll be a new edition of Rachel Pollack's 78 degrees of wisdom, released tomorrow (1st March) actually - does anybody know if it will be much different to the old version? The title is slightly different, it is now: Seventy-Eight degrees of wisdom - A Tarot Journey to Self Awareness. I can't find if it has any different or additional content.

So sometimes people talk about just shuffling through their deck, whilst they're watching tv... or just because they feel like fiddling with something. My version of this is bedtime decks. Decks that are pretty, not emotionally taxing, maybe a little funny and easy to run the eye over - that I just like to look through before bed sometimes... Mine are all Tarot: Dame Fortune's Wheel Tarot Metanoia Tarot All Hallowes Eve & Halloween Waite Tarot, stars editions (Hybrid deck) Spring & Winter Waite Tarot, stars editions (Hybrid deck) The Gendron Tarot. Anybody else? …

How would you read a reversed Queen of Pentacles for aspects of career that cannot be changed? I read it as non-traditional, non- profit, investments required. Job for passion and not just for money.

I’ve read a lot about the hermit after feeling so low and in my shell , loosing faith etc what I have researched so far is that he signifies “god” and I really wanted to share something really special with you , well when I was 15 say I was always playing with my deck and found myself in the cards with the characters well one night I dreamed I was in a dark alley with the hermit I offered him help up the stairs everything seemed much darker to me than him as he had a lantern to help him along he was neither proud or undignified by my offer but simply outstretched his lantern and in his lantern was the Star of David and then Joseph’s face in the flames creating light…

It's been two weeks (at least) since a tower moment happened to me. I anticipated that moment (had a reading previously where I was told that I will lose something (5oC rx) because I just went with the flow, did nothing, let it be (hangedman rx). For weeks, I have been thinking is it really me who didn't exert anything? I specifically asked that if I took action, will it be in my favor and 60-70 percent of the cards said yes. Well, that is all water under the bridge now. I asked for a three card outcome/advice on whether now that I freed myself, goodthings will happen to me. Will I regret it in the future and got Devil, 4 of cups and 3 of wands. I was addicted and c…

It's that time of year once again. :D The Sacred Days of Yule reading thread is set up in the Lunar and Sabbat Group Readings forum. This is a lovely reading over 12 days and a wonderful way to make a bit of time for yourself in a busy season. Open to any level or reader and any decks, these are readings we do/post for ourselves and share our experience with the group. https://www.thetarotforum.com/group-readings/sacred-days-of-yule-2018/

I'll probably have time next weekend. I'm off Thursday, I'll do it then. Can't believe the month is over already, I'm sorry, I'll get right on it. I've had a house fire/leg amputated/death in the neighborhood I've had a sliver. I've had a flat tire. I'm waiting for the new moon I'm waiting for the full moon. The moon has fallen so I got sidetracked. I'm waiting for Pluto to be in axis with the sun before I can start. My king of staves has peanut butter on it. All said with a smile but...wouldn't we be much better readers if we just sat down and got it done? If you've had time to check facebook, watch…

Hey! Me again! New guy and a chatty Cathy! As mentioned in another thread, I am at the place where I want to start reading for others (heretofore I have been studing and doing self-directed readings). I have a question... When you read "in the wild" (not just for friends & family), what are the most common questions you get? Which ones are toughest? Are there any where you say, "Sorry, I don't go there"? (I guess that's three questions.)

Some here may have accounts on the Cartomancy Forum with posts and/or profile information important to them. The Cartomancy Forum is shuttering. It will go Read Only after May 31st. If there is anything you wish to download and save there you now have time to do so. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Before I put Tarot away and took a few weeks off, I was getting the Queen of Swords in almost all my readings. I kept noticing how it felt like there was a message there, and it didn't feel like it was saying "you ARE the queen of swords", but more like she had something to teach me, like I was supposed to learn some lesson through the queen of swords. Then I disappeared for a bit, wrestled with some questions, and now here I am, playing with my decks again. Guess who's back... the Queen of Swords. I would love to here you guys' opinion of why the Tarot would keep showing me her all the time. She literally just flew out of my deck and I was like "ok what is this". I…

Hello everybody ! I've just received the Modern Spellcaster Tarot. I discovered the way of Wands=Air and Swords=Fire. And it could work in my mind ! In the Tarotbook the author says that many decks works this way. Do you have exemples of decks or books which speak of Wands=Air ? Thanks in advance !

When another tarot reader reads for you, do you usually add new meanings to the reading? For example, I will mention a personal experience: I ordered a New Year's reading for myself with a professional tarot reader - I prefer to have someone else read for me, on certain occasions, so that I am not biased - In the predictions for my health, he mentioned the Justice card and interpreted it beautifully. When reflecting on this card, I remembered that, within my tarot studies, Justice (with its scales that measure everything) can indicate the prediction of exams, such as blood counts, etc. In this case, I received the printed reading, without any dialogue with the reader.…

Has anyone done any past life spreads with tarot or oracles and found out anything significant or helpful? I've never really tried this before but I know some people do past life tarot readings. I've just started becoming interested in my past lives recently and thought I may give it a try.

Good evening everyone. Im new here and not sure I’m in the right section so if i am please someone move it to correct place thank you. As i just said I’m very new to Tarot and to be honest I have no idea about Tarot or never heard about it until I met my recent partner and from what she has told me I’m not sure I wanted too. Basically my partner gets readings from a Lithuanian lady on the phone and has used her for years but I have never heard the conversation or ever heard what she asks. But she has told me things this lady has said about me like I like my comfort, I like a gamble, when I get something I move on quickly which is all pr…

Somewhere was a post with the question what people wished they had known when they started reading tarot (I went looking and couldn't find it here so it might not have been on this forum). Someone responded that not including reversals in their reading takes half of the vocabulary away from the tarot that the cards could use to convey their message. This hit some chord inside me and when I sat down with my cards today, I decided to include reversals. So I thoroughly shuffled my cards without any consideration to which way around they would end up in the final pile. And then in my reading ALL cards were reversed! Including the card on the bottom of the p…
