One of my great interests and passions... The true origination of Tarot is unknown; going back at least 500 years, and probably much more; it is thought to have been used in ancient Egyptian times, in France and Italy, and later in Western Europe and the British Isles. Through the use of an illustrated deck of cards laid out in a spread readers were consulted on a wide range of issues. People wanted help in determining best times for sowing and reaping of crops, for questions about interpersonal relationships (when or whether to marry, etc.), about business and insight into their futures. There are many different Tarot decks in existence today. At present I use mostly one to work with; this is Osho-Zen Tarot , which is the one very close to my heart as a present from my Master and Friend , Polish therapist and tarotition Ewa Najder. A "spread" is the term used for how the cards are laid out. There are hundreds of spreads. I usually choose one, two or a couple of spreads with which to work on a regular basis. With most spreads, each card's position has a specific meaning, and often there is a direct connection between cards, one having an effect upon another. What Tarot means to me, and how I do see it ? Tarot is not a typical divination, in a way as many people think it is. Tarot cards don't live; it is a tool in the hands of a reader; the same as dowsing pendulums. The concentration of a reader on a case is the most important thing. I just let the energy flow from universe threw me, my hands and the spread is an end result. They are like clock hands, just show. Cards can never tell/show U what will definitely happen. They may; but it is a real delicate and sensitive area; because everything can happen. I wouldn't go that far. What they "can" do is to show U where the situation is going to; what may happen if U do or do not do something; what are the circumstances of the situation; what is the proper move for U or what is not; when is the better time, when is not ; is this a right person or not for U to deal or be with; can show U the way which to choose if U are not sure; can show U the proper way for U , even if U don't agree and want to do something else..; etc. Tarot just show what the potential possibilities of the situation are. A great deal of effort and energy goes into your reading, and integrity is an important factor in my work. Your reading is as confidential as a session should be between a professional counselor and client. Tarot should not be considered as a replacement for professional psychotherapy when such therapy is needed. It is inappropriate for an reader to diagnose and treat mental illnesses. tarot advice £ 20 - could be a couple of questions - takes about 20 minutes in general |
