About Tarot Cards
Tarot cards are used to divine the future, they will always tell you what you
need to hear. May not be what you want, but always what you need. There are many
forms of spreads for the cards and many tarot card readers will decide on the
spread based on the questions being asked. The most popular are the Celtic Cross
Spread and the 3 Card Spread of Past Present and Future. Many insights are
gained from the various images and meanings of the cards, each card has a
specific meaning and each suit further defines the meanings for you. For
instance... Aces are always a raw boost of energy, in the case of the Wands
suit, the Ace of Wands indicates a raw burst of creative energy.
It is my belief that when we work the tarot cards we are communicating with our
own personal spirit guides and that of the angels who are in our life, they all
guide and protect us from our birth. Sometimes we are aware of their presence,
sometimes (almost most of the time) we are not aware of their influences. It is
also my belief that we are strengthening our connection, and their connection,
when we work with these entities, we aid them in aiding us. This makes us both
stronger and they are better able to aid us. Acknowledging and accepting their
insights help strengthens us as we grow as humans on our life's path.
Although the roots of the tarot are in the occult tradition, interest in the
cards has expanded in the last few decades to include many different
perspectives. New decks have been created that reflect these interests. There
are Native American, herbal, dragon and Japanese decks, among many others
My own personal belief system is strengthened by the Celtic, Arthurian
structure of my cards... The Sacred Circle Tarot by Anna Franklin.
The tarot is most commonly viewed as a tool for divination. A traditional
tarot reading involves a seeker - someone who is looking for answers to personal
questions - and a reader - someone who knows how to interpret the cards. After
the seeker has shuffled and cut the deck, the reader lays out the chosen cards
in a pattern called a spread. Each position in the spread has a meaning, and
each card has a meaning as well. The reader combines these two meanings to shed
light on the seeker's question.
