Tarot shows us the truth
The birth of Tarot occurred during an age when the world was open to the occult sciences, the discovery of new streams of knowledge and science that were revealing themselves. But has lost its charm partly due to the fact that humans have proceeded to accelerate down the path of materialistic gains and a materialistic life. Looking outward and not within. Seeking outward and not within. Asking from outward and not within. The exploration of mankind in this Dwarpa age has turned outward, but the true exploration of the true self, of the true Universe and of the truth can only be found within oneself.
Tarot stands for the truth. Tarot stands for the truth revealed. The true word of God revealed through Earthly means. The truth is revealed before your eyes. We are showing you the truth. Read the will of God and then step forward to do your part. What must be true then is the energies that you are bringing in with you into a reading. You are bringing in all the energies with you, all the energies of all the answers are within you. You already hold on to them, because you always carry the truth within you, because you always carry God within you. What the reader is doing is just tapping into these energies that you have brought forth, tapping into the energies you are bringing forth because you already have the question and the answer even though your conscious mind may not be tuned into the answer you are needing to hear, but tuned into an answer you are wanting to hear. When you walk into a reading you are not walking in alone. You are surrounded by all your guides, all your angels, all those beings of light that guide you, help you, love you and walk with you through your journey of life. Some guides may even show up in a reading if you ask the right questions, ask them to reveal themselves, to help you ‘see’ them, to help you know them, to learn about them, so you can then learn more about your true self, your true worth. Then focusing on or meditating on the guides that have revealed themselves to you can help develop and foster the relationship that Heaven wants to reveal to you, wants you to have, so you understand that you are truly never alone.
Reading the Tarot
The true Tarot is not about an exact interpretation of the card or cards in the spread but about letting go of conscious thought and going deeper within to find the answers the Universe is trying to serve up to you via the aid of the interpretation of the images that have been selected. It is best if the reader is in a meditative state almost with their head in the clouds, suspended between Heaven and Earth, filtering the information handed down by Heavenly Gods through the energy streams that connect us all to our temporary Earthly home. Following the energy streams that lead to the question being asked, the real root or real truth behind the question and to see or feel the answers or the energies that are being served up in response to the question, using the visuals as a guiding aid. Try not to focus on the literal meaning, the literal interpretation but let your unconscious mind wander across the card, coming to settle into focus on a particular element within the scene playing out inside the card. Imagining yourself inside the card, and feeling your way forward, what the card is trying to convey. No card is good or bad, but its interpretation can change, will change, based on the being that is asking the question and the question being asked. Even those cards that may commonly have negative interpretations need not be feared in a reading because who knows what wonders lie in the answers shared forth?
For a reading with multiple cards or a spread, there are two ways to go about it depending on the progression of the reader. The first method allows you to review one card at a time, asking the card to show you what it is trying to showcase and then putting two and two together to weave the tapestry of the story being laid out for you piece by piece. The second method is to step back and view the cards as a whole, trying to feeling the energy waves from the reading and feeling and seeing where that wave is taking you, a movie played out in your mind space, laid out in your mind space not focusing on each card individually but looking at the whole collective, looking at the forest and skipping the tree.
Time is the most important and least important variable in the tarot game as time is also an energetic form or energetic representation and as all energies change, time is also constantly changing. So what you read today may not be the case tomorrow as the being in front of you is a different person from today to tomorrow. People change, time changes and energies change. Use the tarot as a guiding tool to guide people toward higher consciousness, toward higher forms of living, toward positive consequences, but it is only a guide and not to be written into law. For example, asking questions regarding when something is going to happen or if something is going to happen will reveal responses that are attached to time and hence can change from day to day. A better way to pose the question would be to ask what do I need to do in order to make this come to pass, or what steps should I take in order to avoid something that may come to pass?
How to wisely use the Tarot
Do not use the tarot as a crutch, holding all life decisions until a reading because then you stop flowing altogether with the energy of life. Use the tarot as a guiding post, a shining light to help you on your way, but it is your life and your life alone, so you must make your decisions from your true heart. Using the tarot as a reference point, but not letting it make all decisions for you. Readers must always reveal to their clients that they only guide them based on how the energies are manifesting currently and should not be taken as the written word of law. Put the onus back on the client to make their decision. Show them both sides of the story but they must make their decision on their own for it is their life and their reality and only they can truly know their own true selves. Tarot can be the best tool harnessed wisely in order for people to learn about their true purpose, their soul purpose, their soul being, their actions and goals here on the Earth plane, but rarely do people ask these questions, focusing instead on happenings across the material plane of existence. Instead, focusing on your true goal in this life, corroborating it if you are already aware and driven toward it, or unravelling it and revealing it if you are floundering, unsure, can help you live a life of purpose, serving up to your soul what it truly desires. For we are all here on the behest of our souls. At times way too caught up in our material world, focusing on what we do not have, focusing on what others have and we lack, focusing on what we want, what we desire from our human brains and our human desire-driven hearts and egos. Letting go of these material instincts for a while, keeping them aside, tarot can be a great tool for soul learning, to help set us on the right path, to help us get back on the right track, so that we may fulfil what we have come here to fulfil, achieve what we were born to achieve, experience what our souls wanted to experience and feel, and then let go of all outcomes, all thoughts related to desires and eventualities, because we know we are always being guided forward by the hand of God. We are only play actors in this game of life, here to play out our parts, fulfil our soul desires and experience the wonder and beauty of human life. Tarot was born out of the need to harness this knowledge from the Heavens by ordinary citizens of the world, letting the ethers of information flow down through Earthly channels in order to help the masses, reveal to the masses what their soul is trying to tell them, how their soul is trying to guide them forward in the maze of life.
Getting started Choose a deck that calls you, that pulls you in. Try to feel the energies... if they lift you up or pull you down. All decks will have a magnetizing force but choose a deck that feels light, that has a lightness of energy to it. Avoid decks that feel heavy or dark. Readers must always cleanse their deck before they start their practice with it, asking God to bless all readings henceforth. Sealing the space whether with or without a client, calling in and connecting both selves to their Highest Selves for the reading to be conducted in an energetic space, an energetic knowledge space, for the highest good of all.
