What Makes a Bad Tarot Reader?

Tarot reading still has a slightly disreputable reputation. Readers are often seen as charlatans, without adequate training or quality control. As for the idea that bits of coloured card can give people an accurate glimpse into their lives and future is illogical, even a little crazy. That’s the left-brained, rational, scientific view. Or – is [...]

Oracles vs Tarot

There seems to be a feeling that you must either use a tarot deck or an oracle deck in your readings. But why is it either/or? Why not both? Since I completed the Devas of Creation – an oracle deck of higher-level energies (Devas are the Shining Ones of Sanskrit tradition, like angelics but more [...]

Strange thing, intuition

The way intuition works is weird. It is definitely like something other that kicks in. Normally with tarot you work with a low-level intuition – i.e., the base meanings are mostly the same but in each reading they may change slightly; you get a slightly different sense of what the card may mean to this [...]

Tarot Meanings and the End of Times

At a tarot cafe recently we were discussing the end of times (as one does – nothing like a tarot cafe to get some good discussions going). I decided to ask the tarot about this – is it going to be in 2012, as the end of the Mayan calendar seems to have indicate, or [...]

Working with the Tarot for Self-awareness (Part One)

We may never know for certain why the Tarot was developed, but given that the focus of medieval society was spiritual, we can be fairly sure that it had a spiritual underpinning. Today, however, most taroists see the Majors as a concise and powerful description of the journey into self-awareness. Each one represents not only [...]

Developing Your Own Tarot Reading Style

When first you start working with the tarot, your ‘reading style’ is probably not going to be uppermost in your mind. You’ll no doubt be concerned about the meanings and how on earth to remember them, or, if you’re an intuitive reader, whether you can trust your intuition and how you’ll find enough to say [...]

The Tarot – Five Common Myths

Many myths and assumptions have built up around the Tarot over the centuries – many of them wrong. Some of the most common are: 1) The Tarot is evil. Wrong. The Tarot is powerful, yes. It speaks directly to your unconscious, and the imagery is archetypal and certainly sometimes disturbing – but essentially the Tarot [...]

Intuition

Notwithstanding all the advances made by science over the last few centuries, which have seen our understanding of the universe change from the idea of a mechanical, ordered system in which humans stood triumphantly in the centre, into one where nothing is certain, all is flux, and humans, indeed our Solar System itself, are but [...]
