Tarot Talk & Technique

So basically I’m still in need of that helping Tarot Spread and I’m going to use another spirit communication Spread so here’s what I’ve found out: - It’s a human not a reptilian - Apart of the Illuminati - Betrayed the blood contact by releasing info about the Cult - Cause of death: Human sacrifice - Reason: Because of the engagement of Prince Harry and Megan

Who else is excited for Robert Place's latest magnum opus, The Tarot, Magic, Alchemy, Hermeticism, and Neoplatonism? It's bound to be released any time now. I know I said that I have a moratorium on deck- and book-buying until September, but come on, this is Robert Place!

Hello, Today I was in the middle of doing a reading as I was studying a group of cards in the reading (The Death, Reversed Hierophant and Reversed Devil). When I heard a voice come through "Can you help me *long hiss*" link to the hiss https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=L9Y3BiMquyc. After hearing this voice I asked if there was anyone that needed my help. Chris said yes so i need online to find a spread to find out more details about this situation. I couldnt find anything so im seeking help if any can suggest a spread that i could use pls.

This topic has been moved to Tarot Decks, as the topic is about the specific deck. [iurl]https://www.thetarotforum.com/index.php?topic=1390.0[/iurl]

I'm just curious - is there anybody else here who still tries to hide their Tarot practice from others? To whom do you conceal it, and why?

Hi guys, glad to be here. I did a reading a couple of days ago and it was a three card spread and the question was about someone's action. I used the Shadowscapes Tarot and I don't do reversals. - 1st card was what's on his mind and I pulled the 9 of pentacles, maybe it means that he needs a closure, the 9p talks about self sufficiency, being whole and trusting yourself. - 2nd card was what's in his heart and I pulled 9 of swords, I believe that it means that he's feeling anxious. - 3rd card was what will be the result of this action and I pulled the 9 of cups, to me the nine of cups is about reaching your heart's desire. My question is about the three nines an…

Merry Christmas everyone, For my 18th Christmas this year ive gotten the Essential Tarot by Mary Hanson-Roberts. As I was shuffling the deck I heard a gentle, kind, elderly but masculine voice in my head saying "I'm Chris I'm looking forward to work with you." I was pretty shocked to hear this I stopped shuffling and just looked at the artwork of the cards. Afterwards I went onto the internet to look up Tarot deck personalities. So I then asked Chris a few questions about his physical appearence as a deck. I've gotten these two cards that feature and elderly man in his 70s with weathered skin, short grey but wavy hair with a gentle and kind personality. So for now on…

I'm so curious about how others have gotten started reading Tarot professionally. Any insight into what you did that worked for you or mistakes that you made along the way would be greatly appreciated. In time, I hope to offer readings in this way but feel I have more time that I must dedicate to study and offering them as a free service to others before I can do that. Blessings xx

I've heard that the Tarot is a subtle but elaborate cartomantic system that is better-suited to address questions that require deep insight. It prefers to give detailed, nuanced, and oftentimes layered answers. As such, I've read that it does not perform well when used on questions that require the use of direct Yes/No spreads that feature straightforward card interpretations like majors are Yes, courts are No, etc. For this reason, I haven't really used the Tarot for Yes/No questions. Which I think is a bit of a shame since many queries can be reduced to straight Yes/No affairs. Will I have an SO next year? Will I get the job I desire? Will my stalker ever stop? Will …

I know that the Tarot is used primarily for divination, but it seems that some don't agree that it can be used to foretell the future, but to clarify the present spiritual or material state of the querent and his/her surroundings. Others use it more for therapeutic and spiritual purposes, thinking that they'd gain a deeper self-knowledge through the lessons that the cards provide. They would usually access the cards for some light or shadow work. Others prize the cards for the esoteric knowledge they can impart or as a simple tool in their exploration of such systems as the Qabalah. Its practitioners may perform pathworking through the cards to gain an intimate understand…

Hi, Im new here on the board. I'm having a hard time interpreting my reading. I pulled the knight of wands followed by the 6 of swords, judgement, 10 of swords, and ended with the empress..with the chariot at the bottom of the deck. Can anyone help me with this message? Im getting something about traveling...but what's throwing me off is the 10 of swords and empress.

Hi tarot pals, I was wondering if any of you calculate the quint of a reading, how you do it and what you think it brings to the reading. I've been dabbling with it a little bit myself but I was curious to hear about your methods. So far I've been thinking about it as giving the reading an essence or a theme (these might be in the name of "quint"?) and I've been using the numbers of the Majors (The Fool hasn't come up yet but he might be 22 or else he is not counted as 0, poor Fool :( ) and the numbered Minors. The courts are numbered 11-14 for me to keep it simple. I sometimes do this with Lenormand too but I don't know if that is a separate discussion since it's a diffe…

I bought this book some time ago. What I liked about it was that the blurb said it focused on learning and using the tarot in a practical way so that readings were accurate, and not wishy-washy or ambiguous. However, I haven't had a lot of time to go through it and just wondered if anyone here has studied with this book and what they thought of it, and if they have any advice on how to work my way through it. (Can it be done in 10 minute time slots, for instance, or is it better to set aside an hour and work through it. That kind of thing.) Thank you. :)

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice on how to use Tarot to pinpoint the whereabouts of misplaced (I hope!) objects. I've never used tarot cards to do that, but I'd like to give it a go. I believe Lenormand is supposed to be a good system for this kind of thing, but I'm a newb when it comes to Lenormand and I'd like to find this misplaced ring sooner rather than later. :) Do we read the cards slightly differently when using it for a more mundane, practical purpose? As in looking at what's in the card - symbols, objects, the location - or do we read the cards with the more usual meanings? Thanks. :)

Hello all. I have been practicing Tarot for about one year now, and have only done readings for myself and a few close friends as I continue to learn. I am currently 11 weeks pregnant and thought it would be fun to ask the Tarot what the sex of my baby is. I pulled three cards: 9 of Wands, The Chariot, 6 of Wands To me this reading points to a boy, as Wands have a masculine fire energy. The Chariot also seems to be a masculine card. What's also of interest to note, all of these cards represent strength, confidence, determination and rising up. Seems to me like this will be a strong, confident boy. Do you think I'm interpreting this correctly? Thanks for any i…

How would you interpret 10 of Swords for "The reason my girlfriend lied to me"? The question related as to why my partner lied to me about an ex. She said she did not have a romantic relationship with a particular guy I know in the past but I have credible evidence that she indeed did. I've read it can mean someone who seems anxious, stressed, worn out. But this wouldn't fit in this instance. Can it mean bad memories or not wanting to hurt me? Could anyone share insights on this?

Now, to start with; I do not mean this to be critical in any way or to poke fun at anyone. I am just interested and thought it would be an interesting discussion ... In a few other topics, I've seen folks make mention of having been frightened, to one extent or another, by the "accuracy" of the Tarot. Most times this is in regards to a first, or at least early experience with the cards. I have also heard people mention this when we've had in-person discussions on Tarot. The reason I'm wondering is because I've not had this really happen. I started learning Tarot in large part because I wanted to have those sorts of awe-inspiring experiences. And, over the years, I have…

I can't help but notice how many Tarot decks focus on one specific Major as a theme, whether explicitly or otherwise. There is the Lovers' Path for the Lovers, the Deviant Moon for the Moon, etc. Can you name others?

I was wondering if anyone else here is doing tarot spreads for every (major) phase of the moon and for every sign the moon is in? I read the Moonology book earlier this year as I wanted to connect more with the moon. I also watched some YouTube videos on the same topic. Then I decided to try a new spread for every phase that the moon is in and write it in my journal. I have had quite a lot of fun and insights while doing so! So, is anyone else doing something like that, and would you like to discuss it? (and maybe share spreads for upcoming moons?)

Hi all, With a new year fast approaching I'm wondering how many of you calculate your year card and, if so, what year will 2018 be for you? I calculate my card on every birthday and for 2018 I'll be staring down The Hanged Man. This is a card I've always had a little difficulty with so I guess I'll be learning his lessons first hand. I'm hoping this year brings a lot of new insights and a deeper connection to my own integrity. If you don't know how to calculate your year card it's quite simple. Here's the method I use. You add up your day and month of birth to the year you want to calculate your card for. For example: 4 + 12 + 2018 = 2034 = 2 + 3 + 4 = 9 (if …

Hello! I consider the Two of Cups and the Lovers to have very similar energies: romantic, partnerships, yin/yang duality. The Lovers has more of an element of choice to it, but otherwise they seem the same. Lately the Two of Cups and the Lovers have been haunting me. I draw them in a lot of spreads and they fall out at me when I'm shuffling. It doesn't matter what deck I use. It just keeps happening and has been going on for a few months now. I'm trying to figure out what they mean as I don't have a romantic interest and am not exactly open to the possibility at this time. They usually fall out together, so I wonder what it could mean. Any opinions in this cont…

I've been getting a strong urge to purchase a deck for one of my cousins lately. Whenever I do a personal reading, whenever I'm browsing new decks for myself, sometimes just randomly. I think the universe is prompting me to get her started on her journey. Any suggestions of affordable decks for a young female (early 20s)? I want to get her a visually appealing deck, but I also don't have a ton of money to spend. Preferably a deck under $40. I would also be open to oracle decks. And any other tips for gifting a deck, as I've never done it before? Should I cleanse it for her beforehand? Or just leave it be. Thanks! Bee

Hi All, I'm in this forum for the first time. I have been in the tarot topic for over half a year now. When I first received my tarot reading - I did not like it - I changed the path of my life, thoughts and I started meditation, visualisations and so on. After 3-4 months, I had another readings and it seemed that i changed my "former destiny". I did not ask the same questions, but yes - I was talking about the same topic, but in close cooperation with the tarot card readers who used different cards and we did not ask the same questions. I talked to 3 people or even 4. The results they gave were practically the same and they gave almost the same time for the fulfillme…

Hi everyone, Would there be any interest in a historical/TdM Circle? This wouldn't start before January, of course, as we're well into December already. Do you have any suggestions or ideas? I'd like to do something reasonably new with it, if there's enough interest. :)

So ive read a few descriptions saying that HP is like the virgin nun. The female virgin version like the priest. But I also thought back in historic times that the high priestess was a highly regarded prostitute that the higher end of society used to respect and enjoy. So which one is it. Im confused.
