This week’s theme is introspection. Much of the information that is needed to deal with our current situations can be found by taking the time to look within. Even when we are not consciously focused on an issue, our spiritual nature gathers those impressions that can enlighten even the most complex matters if we allow ourselves to receive them.
For those who don’t have any predisposed notions against seeing a psychic, the experience can be fun. For me, it was always a treat to go with a friend. We’d immerse ourselves in the calm atmosphere and enjoy having a stranger tell us fun things about our past, present, and future. Many of these things we already knew. It was just fun to see what we were told. There was also something exciting about being told what the future held of us. While in the back of our minds we doubted the truth of these predictions, it never stopped us from having fun with it.
By the 18th and the 19th centuries, the mystics and occultists began using tarot cards. Their use started after a study on religious symbolism by a Swiss clergyman called Antoine http://rstauto.ru/review/psychic-medium-secret-becoming-top-psychic-medium Court de Gebelin was published. He proclaimed the name tarot to have originated from the Egyptian word, ‘tar’ that meant royal and ‘ro’ meaning road. He suggested that the word tarot signified a royal road to wisdom.
These cards are full of all the major old memories and events till date. Take a huge chart horoscopes paper and reduce it to the size of a birthday card by folding. Stick a cute photograph of the receiver in the front of the card. Stick all funny photographs with a funny and emotional captions on each fold of the card. Put the photographs in the chronological order, right from the birth till present.
Memorize these meanings, and you’ll have an easy handle on an overall reading. Pick up a good book on Tarot as well that treats (omit) the Minor Arcana individually, however, and you’ll be able to understand the subtle differences between the cards. Use this tutorial and my Major Arcana tutorial as your introduction to further studies, not as a graduate course, and you’ll be well on your way to a true understanding of the Tarot.
