TAROTING AROUND

TAROTING AROUND

If you fancy yourself a person who does/likes Divination this article may be for you.
So… You’ve got your first Tarot Deck and you are ready to make it work for you…
Maybe you’ve been through many Tarot Decks but you’re still looking for the special one which may work well for you…

You’re just an average eager and curious human being ready To:
a) See the Future,
b) Ask important Questions About Life, About Personal Decisions that you might be called to make…
c) Ask Questions About Other People close to you and their lives…
d) Maybe you want To Do Tarot Readings To Other People “professionally”!!!
e) Maybe you’re just another shallow loose canon with nothing better to do with your life, you’re doing it just for kicks… Etc…

What All Tarot Decks & Their Images Do is to Offer Symbols which are Doors/Connections to The Energies/Realms/Meanings which They signify.

From a world Collective Pool of Consciousness point of view, many meanings/themes will be the very same or repeat themselves to many different people in many different times & places…

From an Individual point of view, for each human being, each Symbol on a Tarot Card offers an original/personal/individual Meaning!

That it is, to each person who is “Open to it enough in order to Open that Door” which the image/symbol and/or symbols do represent…

As people react to the Meaning as it is being shared via Symbol/Image, each individual person becomes aware of facets/facts/advice regarding subject at issue, anent to his/her reality which he/she was not aware of before the exchange of energies with the Tarot Cards and Their Symbols.
 
Experiences and Meanings will differ from one person to another as we must bear in mind the fact that two, three people can look and see the very same reality and still sense such with different eyes, different reactions, different labels and definitions!

So when people learn Divination via the many choices of Tarot Decks which are available in the world, they can surely extol the virtues of other people’s shared (on their books) Impressions of the Tarot Cards for the sake of the Collective/Generic Significations with their Generic/Common Interpretation Purposes.
 
But such so-called Cook-Book Interpretations are not sharp enough to be applicable to each and every human being, all the time and everywhere on earth… Because they surely do not pertain, do not apply to all people, to all occasions and places on earth, etc…

The Tarot is best served as a Personal/Individual Experience for people.
From the perspective of the Tarot Reader, she/he must seek Higher Inspiration and his/her own personal Understanding of the Symbols/Cards and mostly be able to sense Higher Guidance in order to create their own reactionary collection of Meanings which work out all the time and prove themselves out with no exception.

Tarot Cards do work, so do Stones, Bones, Shells…
So equally do Runes and other Collections of Symbols as Magickal Alphabets, etc…

What I like to say is, append/add your own personally found Meanings to the generic collection of Meaning from/of Tarots cook-books and find what works best by your own personal usage and experience of the Tarot in your life before you venture to try to do readings to other people.

Tarot Readers may have good intentions but Intentions will not justify Bad Mistakes which may ruin other people’s lives with Bad Readings and/or perhaps arrogance and selfish power-play which are bold enough to reveal things/facts which people cannot handle…
At least “Maybe not at this point in time in their lives”…

I’ve seen quite a few people who have got burned and cancelled early from ruining other people’s lives and their prenatal scripts with their self-serving Psychic Readings, with their irresponsible Tarot Readings, etc…  

Tarot Readers at times forget that they are not messing with people when they do their thing…
They are messing with the Universe, with Powerful Forces of Eternal Evolution, The Faetes & Their sacred Circumstances, Prenatal Scripts and the Freedom and Choices of people and other species…

Unless They are responsible to Themselves and to Other people and species and most of all They are intelligent/wise and humble enough to ask the Gods/Goddesses, The Supreme Being for Guidance as to whether to reveal or not to reveal whatever it is at issue first.

Let’s face it, not everybody who wants to know, can actually handle to know!
Not everybody who can pay for, should be allowed Special Information which is/will be harmful/bad to them, for their lives and all just because they can pay for the information, for the damage!

The only excuse to such situations afore written above are Divination Readings which are styled after Spiritism & Pagan Afro/Nubian Belief Systems which basically offer a Ritual Session in which the Priestess/Priest become taken/possessed on purpose by the invoked Energies, the Ancient Goddesses & Gods, Elementals/Special Spirits of the Dead & Other Species…
And the actual human being is not aware of what it is being told/revealed during such divination sessions chiefly once they are back to normal, back into their body and the rites/ritual/session are done…

In such cases whatever happens in there is between the inquirer and the Gods. The Person providing the service is not in charge nor aware of the Content.

Tarot Cards are very helpful and they all work but only to the right people!

Who are the right people?
People who are responsible enough to treat Divination with dignity, with the proper care and respect which it merits.

I’ve not any criticisms to anybody at all.
If something is worth doing…
Then it is worth doing it right!

With Divinations, lack of wisdom, lack of dignity and irresponsible mistakes will surely cancel short the Lifetime of the so-called Fortune Teller, of the Tarot Reader because Mother Nature is inside and outside each and every one of us and She does not tolerate pranks very well!

So behave yourself!
