Signs & Symbols in Tarot 2007-02-27 21:08:00 Published today my new E-Book about Signs and Symbols found in the Tarot
.It is a small reference book to use as a learning aid. I hope it will prove useful to beginners and experienced readers alike.Laid out like a mini dictionary it gives meanings of the runes, Hebrew and pictorial symbols. For example: what does a crown mean in the cards? Or oranges? Or the various flowers and animals?It is available in pdf format and simple to buy from Lulu. It is 36 pages (so be warned if you are planning to print it!)For a token $2.00 how can you resist?!

Learning Tarot Intuitively by Emma Sunerton-Burl 2007-03-04 20:53:00 To learn your deck you can take each card and travel into it allowing the deck image to trigger within you stories and journeys that bring with them messages for your own inner development as well as for your learning of what the card can mean and say in a reading. I believe if you allow to let your deck talk to you, then the learning you gain in your own life will be invaluable and the practice in trusting your intuition and understanding your own symbols will transform your ability to read the cards for others even with cards you haven't travelled into. After a while of doing these specific journeys for yourself, you will find you can look at a card and travel within it, asking for its meaning, whilst doing a reading without elaborate visualisations and meditation, thus gaining a way to hear your own intuitive voice and knowing, as it relates to anothers question. In this article I will outline the way to go into a card at first for your own development and the understanding of a ca Read more:Learning

The Vampire Tarot by Sue Lloyd of Next Step Reiki 2007-03-04 18:38:00 When I first ordered the VampireTarot
I was nervous that it would turn out to be just another novelty deck. I already owned the Fantastical Tarot, its sister deck, and loved working with it because of its colourful and vibrant interpretations of the tarot.I though it would be interesting to work with the two decks together. I wondered if because they were designed by the same artist, Nathalie Hertz, there would be a connection between them, a heightened energy when used together in spreads. So when they finally arrived I couldn’t wait to open them!The Vampire Tarot Deck is amazing. Firstly the cards themselves are high quality. They are a comfortable width for ease of handling. The background edge is black which is effective in highlighting the pictures. The back of each card is a blood-red and black freehand design. Each face has a red border and on the left and right sides, a border of skulls and leaves. At the top of the Major Arcana are Roman numerals and each card has its name Read more:Lloyd

The Rohrig Tarot 2007-03-08 13:40:00 The Rohrig Tarot
is a phenomenal deck with fabulous art work by Carl Rohrig that embraces college and painterly skill in every image.I have to admit that of all the decks I own (and that is no small number) the Rohrig are my favourite. One of my first decks, they are full of exciting and powerful imagery. I love the modern images and the move away from the traditional medieval influence. They are initially shocking to many people and I have heard some pretty virulent tirades against them. The nudity seems to offend implying a sexuality that people seem to find off putting. Personally, I think that Carl Rohrig adores women and is showing the power and influence the female energy has over the tarot and indeed our lives.But I feel that it is important with all Tarot decks to look beyond the initial images, they are made to mediate and discover deeper meanings and the Rohrig is a prime example of this.The Major Arcana are all full of the imagery we associate with more traditional decks, f
Energy & Psychic Cleansing 2007-03-14 11:37:00 After a reading, it is important that you clear the space that you did the reading in of any energy left from the client. Even positive energy will potentially disrupt any subsequent readings that you may do.Often the client leaves intense emotional and psychic energy behind. A reading can often bring emotions and uncomfortable issues to the fore and you, as the reader do not want this to 'stick' to you.If you have done several readings, there tends to be a build up which needs to be cleansed and cleared both from the reading area and your own energy field. SmudgingSmudging is method to help cleanse the aura and work area of unwanted energy. This requires you to burn sacred herbs such as white sage, lavender, rosemary, perhaps even eucalyptus, and then blow out the flame and use the smoke to cleanse.A small bowl, often ceramic in nature, (although any vessel which is fire proof and doesn’t get too hot will do) is used in order to avoid any cinders escaping. Needless to say, you do Read more:Energy

TessieTarot Cards by Tessie Jayme 2007-03-15 11:51:00 Tarot Cards
are fun, fascinating and full of mysteries. There are incredibly beautiful decks available today, and they ALL work, primarily because cards function as focus triggers. "STRENGTH” ( Rider-Waite Deck, Major Arcana VIII):As an example, the symbols in this card would “trigger” information for me during a reading.If you are a lady asking about your boyfriend, I might sense that he tends to be too controlling, and you might have to use purity of spirit (white gown) and infinite patience (infinity symbol) to “tame” his aggressive controlling behavior.If you are a young man concerned about your job, I might caution you about the predatory character of your employer. I might advise you to use balance (infinity symbol) in dealing with your boss. Handled too gently, your boss is likely to prey on your weaknesses; too forcefully, your boss is likely to see you as a threat and send you packing.One of my most favorite decks to use is the Aquarian Tarot Deck by David Palladini.
The Uses of Tarot 2007-03-17 20:05:00 Over the years, Tarot
has gained a reputation as a means of fortune telling. Many people, including me, are uncomfortable with this role of Tarot. Many readers are trying to 'educate' that the Tarot can and should be viewed in a better, less old fashioned light.Tarot can be used effectively for many things other than fortune telling. Learning About The Past And Present – To avoid the fortune telling side of Tarot – which implies the foretelling of future events - it can be used to understand the events of the past, and situations you are facing at present. Through this, you gain insight into your thinking of the past events, and this may help you find out ways to improve your relationships in the future. Study The Symbols – Tarot is full of archetypal symbols. Archetypal symbols are those symbols that are embedded in our mind, in our psyche, from the time of our birth. These are symbols that we just instinctively recognize for what they stand for, when we just look at them. By
