| The following pages come from a small guide that I wrote for a tarot workshop that I ran for the Bristol Pagan Moot way back on the 27th of May 2002. Some of the details have been updated a bit, mostly the section about getting to know your cards, where I`ve added in my explanation and theory of "finding the story", but appart from that, its pretty much teh same as what I prepared a while back ... in all honesty havent really ahd either the time or the inclination to try and increase it or add to it, and probably wont do so till it comes the time of doing another workshop! |

| Brief history of Griff's tarot usage: Bought my first deck on my 9th birthday (16th of September 1984) with birthday money, and have been using this deck ever since. Its the Crowley Thoth tarot deck, and even though lots of people are very anti towards it, it is one of the best decks for visual impact and well layed out cards. I'm against charging for readings, and believe that if someone needs your help, you should offer it in good faith - karma will come round when you need help yourself later in this life or next, or even paying off help you have already received. I dont read for myself, and dont see how you can be truly unbiased and inpersonal, and be truly open to what the cards are refering to without automatically tying it in with something happening in your life. Anyway, less Griff rant, down to the sections! |
