Here are a few useful tips you can use for your tarot cards and readings. Try them and see what works for you.
1 - Choosing Your Deck ~Some people like to begin with beginners decks and then move on to advanced decks. My advice is when choosing your tarot deck that you will be using, don't worry about it being beginner or advanced...focus on the one that YOU are drawn to. You can learn with that deck, make sure it has an instruction book with it (which should be no problem if bought in a store). I personally use The Sacred Circle Tarot. I was drawn to it, I kept coming back to it after looking at other decks. It works very well for me and has a wonderful instruction book with it. You will be more successful if you pick the deck YOU wish to have and not one someone tells you that you should get.
2 - Keep your cards in purple cloth for positive energy (bag or wrapped)
3 - Do not let anyone else touch your cards while you are doing a reading.
4 - Handle your cards often, even if you're not doing a reading (shuffling, practicing spreads, moving them in your hands, etc.)...you can't have enough of your personal energy in your cards.
5 - A suggestion> If you are picking cards instead of drawing them from the top, spread them out in a line or in your hand (whichever way you wish), then hold your hand over them (about an inch away) and slowly run your hand across them back and forth, thinking of your question or reason for reading the cards. When you get a sudden twinge or burst of energy through your finger or hand then pick that card. Repeat for each card.
6 - Trust your own thoughts and feelings, every cards meaning isn't the same for every person. YOU are the diviner. If you haven't gotten the cards memorized (not many of us do) when you read the meaning...interpret it in your own way. If you have a feeling that it means a certain thing, then trust that feeling and apply it..You Have That Feeling For A Reason. The cards will be filled with your energy so it will be flowing through you.
7 - While you are doing a reading, you may burn or simmer the appropriate herb for your reading.(see the Herbs, Flowers, and Spices page)
8 - You may write a certain spell to say before you do a reading while holding your cards.
Example: tarot cards when you spread, truth told is what be read
9 - I have found the best way to learn the meanings of the cards is by practicing and doings spreads. It's hard to forget the cards that repeat over and over and it will help you memorize them. Some say a card a day, but i found that doesn't work for me. You do what works best for you. Maybe you will find your own pattern of memorization.
