@lovendures Glad I could help. It's funny but I can't read or come up with those ideas for myself but I can for others at times. ?

By TriciaCT 7 years ago
So, I was reading that Mercury is dancing across the sun on Monday. Is that important, and will it make the full moon more important? Will either of them help the collective?

@jeanne-mayell Are you able to explain anything about Oracle decks? (inquiring minds...) ?

By Lovendure... 6 years ago
@lovendures The difference between Tarot and oracle is that Tarot has a clear structure and Oracle cards have no structure at all. Tarot: 78 cards, 22 Trump's that are archetypes of the hero's journey and f...

One of the students in a Tarot class asked a good question so I thought I'd answer it here in case anyone else could benefit. Question: I’m having a hard time determining which cards are most appropriate to u...

I posted this in the thread discussing RBG and the Open Supreme Court Seat. It came up for me when I read about two different interpretations of the same card throw.... So this is the fascinating part of th...

By jovesta 6 years ago
@jovesta Great comment! The cards must be just a framework for an intuitive interpretation that really comes from within. I remember viewing a You Tube psychic doing a tarot reading on Vanessa Guillen, the Fo...

By Snowbird 6 years ago
@jovesta. I started reading cards 50 years ago, and like most readers I got my initial interpretations from the booklets that came with the decks of cards. Over the years, my interpretations have evolved, and ...

By jovesta 6 years ago
@jovesta I recommend starting with the Rider-Waite or Universal Waite deck, mainly due to the simplicity of the illustrations, making them easier to interpret based on standard symbolism and interpretations i...

By Vesta 6 years ago
@jovesta. By the way, I’m curious about the name Jovesta. I have changed my screen name to Vesta, which is the asteroid on my ascendant in my astrological chart and which describes me quite well. Is Jovesta a r...

By Vesta 6 years ago
@jackie. Decades ago, the name Jovesta came to mind as I was searching for a gamer handle that was not in use. So, no connection to vesta. ? I just liked the combination of sounds! Thank you for the good a...

By jovesta 6 years ago
Choosing a deck is such an individual thing. Try out a few decks and see which one fits you. The Ryder Waite is easy to read because each card is a little vignette that spells out its meaning. But the Ryder...

By jovesta 6 years ago
The Motherpeace deck is very interesting in terms of art and symbolism, but the cards are round and awkward to handle. However, the book is lovely and has added quite a bit to my evolving interpretations. I att...

My Burke-Caselli deck is a Rider-Waite style deck. I own a half a dozen decks but I keep going back to the Burke-Caselli because of its familiarity. I also like the Everyday Enchantment tarot, which is Rider-Wa...

By Snowbird 6 years ago
@jackie I too was drawn to the book of the mother peace deck back when I first began reading cards in the 1980's, though not the deck. I read a few of the chapters on the Major Arcana and it helped me get start...

I have a bit of a random question, wasn't quite sure where to put it, but this seems like a good spot. Using the Thoth deck, I randomly decided to work out my tarot year cards for the rest of the 2020 decade...

By Avon 5 years ago
Tarot question. How do any of you go about multiple-card readings? Do you shuffle first all at once then lay down your cards all at once? Or do you shuffle in between laying down each card? And where do you pic...

By Coyote 5 years ago
@coyote I do all three ways of shuffling. I'm focusing inwardly as I pick cards for a spread. I'm focusing on the question that the card represents, on the target I'm reading, and taking a breath, and sometimes...

By Jeanne Ma... 5 years ago
@coyote Before I complete a reading, I already have my spread in mind. Most often I just throw 4 or 5 cards in a row and interpret them as they lay. Sometimes I do a spread in which each card has both an ind...

By SisterMoo... 5 years ago
@coyote I am very much new at this (learned in Jeanne's class last year), but I tend to do like @jeanne-mayella and @sistermoon do and shuffle until I feel I am done, breathing and focusing the whole time on th...

By CC21 5 years ago
@jeanne-mayell @sistermoon @cc21 Thank you!

By Coyote 5 years ago
@coyote, After I shuffle I cut the cards in 4 piles from left to right, then pull them together again in the opposite direction. I then fan out the cards on my table. I close my eyes and as I ask my questio...

By deetoo 5 years ago
@coyote I am visualizing my question while I shuffle the deck and I stop when the cards tell me to stop. As for cutting - I cut how the cards tell me to... often just a split deck but sometimes more (and occa...

I don’t know the best place to put this, so I will drop it here with the understanding that it may be moved. I have been using tarot since I was in high school. Never done more than dabble. Many times I t...

@April With the sun card on top and the upside down emperor on the bottom, I'd say the outcome is saying that six months from now, the Roe v Wade decision will have negative implications for the U.S. patriarchy...

By Jeanne Ma... 4 years ago
Thank you. Yes this was a full deck that I used. As for interpreting the cards, I have the booklet that came with the cards and one beginner book on tarot. However the beginner book doesn’t allow for much und...

By April 4 years ago
@April I think it is going to take longer than that, but your cards are saying what meaning people are feeling-- the the Roe v Wade decision will weaken male patriarchy in the United States, including in the Su...
