Hello, everybody! I'm Psykiksister, a professional psychic of many years. This blog will be about psychic advice and information. I won't be doing readings here, or looking for new clients. This blog will be for fun, learning, and opening our minds. So let's get started!
Today's topic is tarot cards, my speciality. Have you ever had a reading with tarot cards? Were you fascinated, confused, or horrified by the results?
Whatever you felt, it was likely due to the expertise and intuition of the reader. There are many talented readers out there, but unfortunately many others with little ability or knowledge. Tarot cards have their own power and information, but in the wrong hands you will receive very little of value. Another day we will discuss how to choose a good psychic, but today it's just fun with tarot!
So do you have a tarot deck? If not, maybe it's time to select your own. I would suggest a trip to an interesting metaphysical store to check out their selections. None nearby? There are lots of places to order online and many selections of cards. When I started reading cards at age 14, there weren't any cards to be found, anywhere! So I used a regular deck of cards until some years later when I found my first tarot deck. It's a little bit easier to find them now!
I suggest selecting a full tarot deck, rather than one with just the Major Arcana. This will give you more to work with, and learn from. You can do a valid reading with just the Major Arcana, but you can do a much more in depth reading with the full deck.
I usually start my clients with the Ryder deck or the Robin Wood deck. These are two very classic decks with clear drawings and lovely colors. There are several versions of the Ryder deck, such as the Universal deck. The colors of the Universal deck are brighter and deeper than the original, which really appeals to me in a reading.
However, what you really want to select in a tarot deck is what appeals to you. Try looking at several decks, in particular if you can open the boxes and look at all the cards. You want a deck that speaks to you, that draws you in, that opens your subconcious. Look at the pictures: do they seem flat, indifferent, uninteresting? Put it back, it isn't for you! You might look for one that appeals to you in some particular way, such as one with flowers or herbs if you garden. Or a deck with Steam Punk pictures if you're drawn to that life style. There is a deck for everyone, you just have to keep looking, and feeling them.
I always suggest that my tarot class students pick a deck that has complete drawings on all cards. Some decks have only pictures of six wands or four cups for instance, not a descriptive drawing instead. For instance, a good deck might show the six of wands as a victor riding a horse through a cheering crowd, rather than just six wands and nothing else. It is much easier to connect on an intuitive level to a picture of a victorious guy on a horse than a few wands alone! So please do check the decks out carefully, and maybe one will really call to you.
If you are ordering your deck online, look for a site that shows a number of the cards in the deck if possible. You want an emotional, intuitive connection to your deck, even if you never read for anyone but yourself. Who better than you to get a good reading, right?
That's all for today, people. More on tarot tomorrow, with a few simple lay-outs of the cards. Please do post your comments, I would love to hear them. For now, this is Psykiksister, and I send you all blessings.
