tarot cards

RE: tarot cards

[sm=wave.gif]Hello sheangel & welcome to HealthyPages
This is a difficult question to answer because we're all different & many people have a very different approach to Tarot & different styles of reading them, some people like to learn the cards via courses or books whilst others just develope a bond or connection with their cards. I was really quite young when I became interested in Tarot & the lady who ran a circle that I used to attend told me to just read the cards for myself & get rid of the book...which I did I am still thankfull today for her advice, but thats not everyones cuppa tea;)

One thing though, I've been bought decks as gifts over the years but I can only really connect with a deck that calls to me, theres a huge variety of cards these days, something for everyone:D

and do you think you have a knack for them or can anyone learn?

If you feel drawn to read Tarot then you will..whatever path you take (ie via a course, book or intuition or all 3) but if you look at the deck & don't feel the motivation then you won't (in my humble opinion), I beleive that everyone has intuition & anyone who wishes to use it can

I'm not too sure if this is any help, but I'm sure there'll be someone able to recommend a book & theres also online courses available, some even free, just do a Google;)

Angel cards are great too:)

RE: tarot cards

Hi

thank you i will carry on with them,

i have Angel cards but they are not really easy to read, there is a set ive seen which i was drawn to but have not got around to buying them, i had the Tarot cardsfor christmas and still im struggling, i feel there is a need to keep on until i find the right pack, i have a huge interest but i keep getting waylaid,
i had a reading the other night at a spiritual gathering, he told me i was spiritual and i should be on stage with them! later i spoke to him, when i had an indepth reading and he told me that when i was ready the spirits and guides would tell me, then i would know, i have a huge interest in it all but somehow still cant quite let myself (fully) into it, if you understand what i mean by that, its as though i need some proof!
ive been asking the angels for help for about 5 years now and its always given to me, its always been good and its always been when ive needed it, so i know there is something,
but still im hesitant in letting my self 'in'
maybe this is what he meant and perhaps im not really ready, maybe im looking too hard....
or maybe tarot isnt going to be my thing.....

Hi Sheangel

I understand what your going through as I've been through something simlar myself. Everyone is different.

I was given cards by a reader who threw away the book and told me not to read any, but just to look at the card and write down what I felt. This is the way I read Tarot.

I too have been told that I should be the one at gatherings giving the readings but I couldn't see me doing that. but many years later, now that thought doesn't scare me and Yes I can see it although it is a few years off yet.

There are so many Tarot Cards, the pictures are so different, are you sure that these are the right ones for you? Look at the pictures and do you feel anything, do any words pop into your head.? It takes time to trust these 'instincts' Just recently when I see some people I get a card image in my head. I'm struggling with - am I suppose to tell them or is it because I'm always thinking Tarot at the moment. Its a confidence thing and breaking out of your comfort zone.

I've owned cards for 22 years (god I sound old, I'm only 36 honest!) and I can say that within the last 3-4 months I've understood more then every before, it comes in waves. When it comes just ride that wave and then practice until the next one comes. Once you 'let go' a bit more another wave will come along I't doesn't happen overnight otherwise it would be information overload, and it will only happen when its suppose to happen, looking for something can sometimes mean you missed what you was looking for and its usually right under your nose.
Learn to trust your instincts and accept that things happen when they are suppose to happen, once you do that your half way there, your path will show itself.

Good Luck

RE: tarot cards

Thank you Whiteroom,

i will stick with it, but perhaps i need a more explicit pack of cards, although im told you can read with an ordinary pack, jack, clubs etc as they are the same, and i have seen it done, i suppose you have to be super duper at it to do that though,

my instincts are usually spot on, ive been told that i can meet someone and either instantly dislikethem or love them, and im usually right, i know this to be true and im the same with places i work and houses i visit.......i suppose a lot of people are the same.

so i suppose i should apply the same to the cards......

practise i shall........on a journey i will go

thank you

Sheangel.....
