Tarot reading
In order to slowly reconnect with my craft I decided to write a series of posts in which I talk a bit about each tarot card and how I personally tend to read it. I will slowly compile the links to the posts of each card on this very post, so that it can be easier to find them.
I want to preface with a couple things. Everyone reads tarot differently, which is something I personally love because when I am getting my tarot read by someone else it's exciting to see how they peronally approach this craft and what their connection to their deck looks like. These are my personal interpretations and this is my personal way of reading tarot, it's not the right one and definitely not the only one. I am not here to teach anything to anyone, I am here to share my craft. I read following my instinct and my intuition and that will definitely look like something different to everyone. I just don't want anyone to feel like I am invalidating their way of working with tarot, or to feel like I am claming that my interpretations are the correct ones. Every one has their vibe, and in communty with their deck things can differ a lot. I have a friend whose approach to tarot is totally different from mine and I love when she does readings for me! With this being said let's get into it!
I personally use the Rider Waite deck, I have had it for over 6 years, and it's the deck with which I learned how to read tarot. I feel very connected to it, and it's always on my nightstand even if I have long periods in which I don't read.
In my readings I include reversed card, and I have a very simple approach to my interpretation whether the card is upright or reversed. When a cart is upright I tend to interpret it as something in connection with the external world, whereas when a card is reversed I interpret its meaning as something that has to do with someone's inner world. So for me upright means realationship between the peroson and the rest of the world, and reversed means relationship with the person and themselves. This is more or less the way the position of the card influences my reading.
As for the way I pull cards, I have done it in many ways over the years, but my favourite is the simplest, I focus on whatever the reading is about and mix the deck until some cards fall. If multiple cards fall together I tend to look for connection between the meanings of the cards. If like 20 cards fall together I don't read them all I just read the ones that stick out some way. If when moving the deck around I fuck up and place it so that a card is shown without if falling I tend to consider it in the reading. Overall I just read all the cards that my instinct tells me want to be read, if that makes any sense.
Under the cut I will compile all the links to individual posts!
