Tarot Talk & Technique

Curious to know what card reoccurs for everyone regarding love. For me it's 8 of wands. It's confusing though because I either get it as reversed or upright.

I found this article online. It was written by Thich Nhat Hahn. It's an interesting ten-minute read. I hope you'll find the time. Amazing insights. I quote: The Buddha spoke of four kinds of nutriments, the four kinds of foods that we consume every day. Our happiness and suffering depend very much on whether what we consume is wholesome or unwholesome. The four nutriments are Edible Food, Sensory Impressions, Volition, and Consciousness, all briefly explained in the article. I thought what a wonderful coincidence that they can be related to the four suits: Pentacles, Cups, Wands, and Swords, respectively. Please tell me what…

I asked the tarot what my boyfriends mother thinks of me and I got the Empress and the Two of Coins reversed. Can anyone give me clarity?

Have you ever sat for a reading and they pulled the 78 cards to do so? That was not my first reading, but I do remember it as an odd one. This guy started pulling cards, and cards, and cards, telling me all sorts of weird tales (marriage, pregnancy, children, etc.) leaving just TWO cards at the end for my questions. Needless to say I didn't like it, it made me feel awkward and uncomfortable, I didn't go back, and I wouldn't recommend him... but I learnt what not to do. What about you guys? Any weird or memorable experience as querents?

I’m currently reading Rachel Pollack’s “Tarot Wisdom: Spiritual Teachings and Deeper Meanings”. I was just thinking that it would be neat to either have a book club thread or create a book club group so that people who are interested can read the same Tarot book at a time and discuss it. Is that a thing already that I missed? If not, who wants to do that? I think it would be a really fun club. If we do it, may I suggest this book being the first? It’s AMAZING.

A question for y'all based on what we know about ancient temples... For context, almost all ancient temples were built with paramount importance placed on the optical play of light and shadow. This was particularly true when aligned with the movement of sun and/or stars, but regardless temples were almost never oriented arbitrarily or constructed without intentional visual manipulation of pilgrims' subconscious experience. In short, visual staging was a key part of religious experience vis-à-vis ancient temples. Fast forward to today and how you interact with Tarot. Beyond just ritual, do you intentionally manipulate light and shadow when doing…

There's a new tarot book coming out called Queering the Tarot, which is suuuuuper exciting to me as a bi girl! https://www.amazon.com/Queering-Tarot-Cassandra-Snow/dp/1578636485

Hello What is carrying in right hand the central figure of Le Monde in Marseille deck? btw Is the figure a woman or is androgynous?

It's called The Spread Machine and I'm gonna link it now in the hopes that that's not against the rules in this section. (If it is, can someone let me know so I can delete the link, please?) But anyhow, do I need it since I'm such a newbie tarot reader? Or am I being seduced by the pretty font and colors and I can find all that info on my own on the web so I should just save my money for more decks instead? 😉

so i pulled some cards about how someone is feeling romantically and i’m stuck because i keep getting the moon card rx, the ace of swords rx, the hierophant, and temperance. i just want some clarification on the meanings of these cards because i’m confused

So I'm working with my Druidcraft on finding my path. I'd drawn the Hermit (I know, right?) and wanted to keep that card to think about so today drew another card. So I've stumbled across a spread/reading approach: a single card each day, with no replacement, laying out a progressive story from the cards. No replacement progressively limits the options, so I'm thinking I'll need to curtail the reading at a certain point, but then, maybe I shouldn't - life is like this, isn't it? Each choice you make shapes and limits the next choice. It's not often we get to go 'no, I don't like this card I drew' and start over. That card is in someone else's deck, too. …

What kind if algorithm methods do you use?

I'm not sure if this is in the right place in the forum. I will understand if it gets moved... I am pretty new to tarot, and I'm soaking up information as fast as I can. I have seen people mentioning that they learned a lot by watching videos. But I'm not sure which videos are the best to watch. I've been digging through youtube and watching, but I thought you all might be able to help me narrow things down. If you have seen any that are particularly helpful, or if you could recommend a person to keep an eye out for, I would greatly appreciate it! Many, many thanks! 😊

Hello! Ive been watching tarot videos for a really long time and when I see them on tik tok they always feel so accurate. So I decided to try and learn tarot card meanings. I watched different videos on youtube about all 78 cards and it started clicking. So now, when I see a card I can somewhat understand the general meaning. But when I decided to ask a specific question I had no idea whats the meaning of the 10 of pentacles regarding love. Any tips about what to do next?

what is the best book about tarot? nice if it gonna be on kindle

When I work, I always give the querent a choice of asking me a question or just keeping the question to themselves. But I do ask them if they have a question in mind or not. This past Monday I did a reading for a lady in her mid-50s, and I knew she had a question in mind, but I didn't know what the question was. So, the reading starts. I start talking about the meanings of the cards, and we are conversing back & forth...and then it just hits me, I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HER QUESTION IS. I don't remember if it was just the vibe, I got off her. Or if it was something that she said, but I knew this woman's question. So, I basically formulat…

I have recently borrowed the Tarot of Trees deck and book from a friend and have fallen in love with it. I have been looking online and have run into problems finding both the book and deck together. One website is deck only. Another site says doesn't ship to Canada. If anyone has the book and cards that they want to sell or know where I can get both I would greatly appreciate it.
