Tarot Talk & Technique

Hi, everyone. If you do clear or cleanse the energy of your tarot decks, how do you do that? Usually, if I find my daily readings are no longer accurate. I wonder put my deck back in its original order. Fool, Magician, the High Priestess, the Empress, the Emperor etc... Then I would burn an incense and let the deck absorb the energy. How about yourself? ;)

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 …

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

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.

Sometimes during a reading, particularly when I feel really "in the zone" words will seem to just jump out of my mouth. There are times when I am surprised about what I am saying because I didn't hear it in my mind before the words leap from me! Am I not in control of my readings enough? Also a friend asked me to read her dog, I didn't use tarot but I did draw a picture. She was very amused when the picture of a rectangular shape with dot on it looked EXACTLY like the doggie treats she kept in the cupboard. I've never done this type of reading before - is this a specific branch of reading? After readings I find that spirits in the area get quite energetic, thing…

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…

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.

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…

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 readers ;) I read somewhere that the average tarotreader have about 44 tarot decks! I started reading about 4 months ago - and I have 6 tarot decks (and 4 oracle decks). How many do you have?

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.

For me, it is when I took a look at the rider waite tarot. That fascinated me and made me became interested in tarot.

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?

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…

What would you say this means as for someone s feelings for someone? I can’t help but seeing it as this person feels a bit unappreciative of the other, maybe there’s a lack of physical attraction or way to express it? Are there other things, could it be positive? Maybe impatience too

Hi all! So, I've been reading cards for about 6 months and this one threw me for a loop: I found a "new love" spread and the Queen of Cups reversed was in the placement of "where you will meet him/her" and now I'm stumped! How would you read this card as a location/place/etc? Thanks!

Hello! Relatively new to the forum, but just curious how you guys charge/cleanse your tarot decks! To cleanse, I turn all of the cards upright and meditate with them. If I have time, I'll wave them over some pine or sandalwood incense and store a crystal (clear quartz, smoky quartz or black tourmaline) on them. To charge, I put some moldavite, herkimer diamond, Satyaloka clear azeztulite quartz, or a crystal that correlates with the type of reading I want to do. Sometimes, I'll make a crystal grid with my deck in the center. What do you all do?

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 asked about the outcome of a potential course of action should I run with it, and got the Wheel of Fortune. I don't use reversals, but the first thing that drew my eye when I turned over the card was the snake on the left-hand side. I did a bit of research, discovered that the snake represents a Greek god Typhon (a sort of monster-deity) and something about salt and destruction and spirit becoming material. It all went a bit over my head, tbh. Interesting, but not easy to apply to the question. The WoF is not all bad, and can mean that a difficult situation improves, but in this particular case I'm wondering if the snake that caught my eye suggests that the situat…

Welcome to the forum! I'm moving this post to the proper section. Please read the rules in said section, but I'll also post them here: 1. Please provide your own interpretation first. This is not a section for free readings. 2. Provide feedback to everyone who helps you out. This topic has been moved to Tarot for Yourself.

I did a one card reading on what spiritual path should I be on and got The Star. Can anyone tell me what this means?

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…

Hello, it's been weighing on me for years that I lost friends over a tarot reading and it makes me nervous to read for friends even now. Before I do readings for anyone I always make a point of telling them that I am simply a conduit for information that I deliver and that I may say anything without a filter. Sometimes I don't even recall everything I say in a reading. During the reading it came up that the wife had cheated on her husband and when I said that to her she burst into tears. It seems that he knew about it already and they had worked through it as a couple but when I brought it up again I caused her distress. I was never invited back to their home and …
