Tarot Card Reading For Beginners: How to Master This Magical Party Trick
4
The voice of Magic comes from the unseen world. Whatever you think you're projecting onto your tarot cards, they may be responding to the true intentions of your heart — which might be unconscious to you. To keep your deck surrounded by good vibes, these are a few personally tried-and-tested steps you can take:
Tarot cards are energy portals that both project and absorb energies. Whether it's you, a friend, or a stranger — try to be in a sound mood when handling them. Acknowledge your cards with respect, give them a view of a full moon, take them out into nature, or speak to them in a loving way. If you often give readings to others, it could help to have multiple decks — perhaps one for yourself and your close friends and another for party tricks and acquaintances.
If you use your cards often enough, you might start getting the same repeat cards. This happens when the deck is either tired of you asking the same boring question, or it's trying to drive home a point that you are not really listening to. The best way to fix this is to just take a break, seek guidance elsewhere, and do your own personal "cleanse" of the cards — maybe write a poem for your cards, surround them with purifying crystals, or burn a cleansing candle in their honour.
Sometimes the deck has a mind of its own. If you notice that certain cards are repeatedly jumping out at you, then this may be an urgent message that you need to pay attention to. There are also unique cases where you pull one single card over and over again. This might be the deck giving you your own totem within its story — a card that will represent "you" in future readings.
I hope that my beginner's guide to the tarot deck was helpful. Always remember that you hold the ultimate power over your own life. Nothing is ever "set in stone" and you are able to transform and change the course of your own journey at any moment — enjoy!
