As a student of Tarot I consider myself very fortunate to have taken a friend's suggestion to read a book entitled The Game of Life by Timothy Leary. The Game of Life is centered around Leary's idea that the Tarot trumps represent stages of personal growth that humanity experiences both as individuals and as a species. According to Leary, the Major Arcana represent the stages of growth that our species evolves through, and he even included 2 extra trumps that uncover the way of the future. Ultimately the Major Arcana encompass all life when considering the cards as organisms of various stages and complexities.

The Tarot, the oracles are fascinating, irritating, scary, enchanting people for years. Historically, these tools of self-knowledge are used as tools and we are going to see the reasons why the cards continue to be a important key. Tarot puts in motion the depths of our being. We will first list the various components of our being, as a whole. I will give a little description, their correspondence in Jungian psychology. I will indicate the criteria to be sure that all those internal can expand in total harmony. Then I will show you the links between these different elements and the Tarot. The purpose is to understand why and how a deck of cards represents the movement and fluidity

If you want to go for tarot reading, you have to know what to expect from the reading. Usually people will opt for tarot reading or astrology when they are facing problems in life. They will seek guidance and help from a reader.

A true tarot reader is a person who has extraordinary abilities, which can surprise you. For instance, they can tell accurately about the events which will occur in the future. They may also be able to figure out a person's problems without being told. At times, they can also predict the death of a person.

Reading tarot reversals in general is subject to much debate. Many people use them, others do not, and you will find passionate reasons as to why they should or should not be used from practitioners on both sides of the argument. As with anything, it comes down to what makes sense to you and how you want to do your readings. I however, do not read reversed cards any differently than I would if they were placed normally.

Since I have dedicated my study to the Aleister Crowley tarot system, it should be noted that there is no precedent in any of Aleister Crowley's writing on the tarot to indicate that the cards' symbolism or meaning is altered by being placed upside down in the spread. Also, the tarot system most closely related to Thoth-the tarot of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-has no precedent for reading reversed cards any differently. This is the primary reason for my aversion to reading reversals with the Thoth tarot deck.

Since the beginning of time, the Moon has represented the great mystery of our existence. Largely associated to the feminine, the Moon is the great Goddess reflecting her gentle and subtle light upon us. She is the ultimate mirror, tenderly reflecting our consciousness back to us. She is the feminine night and represents the shadowed aspects to our very natures. In Tarot reading, she is our great mother, our inner child, and the power of our unconscious.

The Moon's realm is that of night and her light is not really her own. Rather it is borrowed from the great god of the Sun. Therefore, its energy is softer, less direct, and appears within the darkness of the night. It is a dim illumination that lights the path to self. The Moon is sensitive to all emotion. She always encourages one to go deeper, to find their source and find their truth. Her receptivity makes her the perfect nurturer. Although her light can be penetrating, it can also be healing. In

So there you are, poised with your Tarot deck in hand, ready to read for your eager recipient. Your client has stated their needs and wants. The cards have been selected in your usual fashion, you take a deep breath and commence your reading. No reason to assume it won't go well.

Let's take a moment to pause here, as we reflect whether there is a right or wrong way to apply Tarot cards. Do we need to consider if there is a right or wrong way? Well, yes, as doubtless you would like to have your recipient return time and time again to you and better still, pass on that all important 'word of mouth' referral to others.

One of the first things to consider is your own frame of mind before you read. It's how you apply yourself to the task ahead. If you are tired, or 'under the weather', or your heart isn't in it, this can communicate itself to your client visually and they may feel they are receiving a poorer or 'wrong' reading. Also, you may find that your interpretation of the Tarot cards becomes harder work than usual or it seems 'off beam'. Postponement of your client may be the right application until you feel 'in the zone'.

As the spread of cards is revealed, it can be a real joy to behold as you see these super little works of art reveal their individual messages of hope. However, your client may be undergoing challenges in

Now is the time to look at Tarot from a fresh angle. Now is the time to acknowledge that Tarot is a practical tool, devoid of eeriness and mysticism. It's a form of divination that can help you to gain more of an understanding about yourself through natural, intuitive methods.

Tarot can reveal the future. It can also help you to have a greater understanding of your present circumstances, and it can offer a more meaningful perspective to past events. But there is no magic or mystery inherent within Tarot cards themselves. The cards are not a divine entity telling you what you should or shouldn't do. Tarot cards are nothing more than colourful pieces of cardboard illustrated with archetypal images. The symbols, patterns, and colours act as triggers to the subconscious, which reveals information you are not consciously aware of.

After experimenting with many forms of divination, I found Tarot to be the most effective method for glimpsing the future, because you can do a reading about absolutely anything! And you can obtain accurate forecasts for any situation, because you can incorporate a time-frame into your question to indicate precisely when a specific event will occur.

Why not buy or borrow a pack and try them for yourself? Approach it in a playful, spontaneous manner, and allow your intuition to guide you. You
