Particularities And Considerations In Tarot

By Barbara Adams


If you have a fascination with the occult, this topic will no doubt pique your interest. Even if you do not believe in something that you might tag as balderdash, then all the nitty gritty will still be worth knowing. Anyway, it is time to delve into tarot san diego.

The tarot is essentially a pack of playing cards, and it had its provenance in fifteenth century Europe. It started out as a normal game, very much like cribbage or poker. Nowadays, however, it is most often than not associated with the paranormal and the occult. Nonetheless, it does not have much of a cultish nub of the matter. In fact, when perceived and taken in properly, it can be seen as a harmless life guide and even entertainment, just like horoscopes.

Anyway, it would be perhaps good to get down to the nitty gritty. First off, the one who is being read shuffles the cards. This initial step, some say, is meant to transfer the persons energy to the deck. While shuffling it, the person should concentrate hard on the aspect of life or question in which he or she needs guidance.

For the divinatory purpose, the deck is composite of seventy eight cards all in all, and these are divided into two parts, the major arcana and the minor arcana. The first literally translates to great secrets. The face cards include the magician, high priestess, emperor, empress, the lovers, hierophant, hermit, chariot, strength, justice, the hanged man, death, wheel of fortune, tower, devil, temperance, the sun, moon, star, world, judgment, and the fool. The last is the only card that is unnumbered while the rest are tagged with roman numerals, I to XXI.

The second one is, you might have guessed, the lesser secrets. This one makes up the remaining fifty six cards. There are fourteen cards in each suit, with ten that are numbered. The other four are court cards, composite of the King, Queen, Jack, and the Knight. In the traditional Italian, however, these are swords, coins, cups, and batons. And in postmodern ones, the baton is replaced with wands, staves, or rods. The coins suit, on the other hand, is alternatively called disks or pentacles.

When we are talking about readings, it is worth knowing that there are two types to it. To enumerate, they are the open and question readings. With the latter, a specific question is being addressed, while the other usually ends in interpretation.

The thing with tarot reading is that it does not answer to specific yes or no questions. That is because it should not be treated as some tell all guide and identifier when it comes to making decisions. The same really goes with other supposed paranormal games like Ouija boards.

When you go on to practice or take part in tarot readings, there are important things to take into account. For one, you should remember to keep your options open and find the best level of detail. It would not do to be carried away by your interpretations on what the card is supposedly telling you to do, be, or consider. Also, in order to up your experience and perhaps enjoyment, it would do to be neutral in the skepticism scale.

Of course, randomly drawn cards do not really have an import on an ordinary persons life. Moreover, it could not possibly divine what happening or impend what is about to happen. It could be that they merely enlighten you on choices that have to be made, and also establish the likely possibilities, depending on the path you choose to take.
