What are Tarot Cards?

The Tarot cards are an ancient Oracle, a deck of 78 cards that originated in Europe over 500 years ago (though some alternative scholars and students of the Tarot believe that it actually originated in ancient Egypt). Tarot cards may have been designed to teach different metaphysical or spiritual concepts, and they have been used to pass along hidden knowledge during times when it was not safe to teach outside the Church. Tarot cards contain many different spiritual and metaphysical symbols including those know to numerologists and astrologers.

Over time, the 52 minor arcana cards of the Tarot card deck evolved into the common playing cards with Clubs Hearts, Spades and Diamonds replacing the Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles of the Tarot deck. There are many different Tarot card decks, and different Tarot "spreads" or ways to read Tarot. Each spread is designed for different purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions about Tarot Cards:

Q: Should I do readings for myself?

A: Sure! Some folks have a taboo about reading cards for themselves because of certain ethnic traditions, however these superstitions are based on fear, not fact. Tarot cards don't lay "curses" on people who use them the wrong way. What can happen is that you may find yourself confused at times when reading for yourself. I call that the "Forest Syndrome". You may be too close to your own issues, too wrapped up in your own fears or desires to read your cards accurately.

Q: Should I buy my own deck? Someone told me I should wait until someone gives one to me.

A: If everyone waited for someone to give them a deck, it's unlikely Tarot cards would be as popular as they are. In fact, it is best to buy your own - there are many different kinds and it is important that you pick a deck you like, one that feels comfortable, whose artwork makes you feel good.

Q: How do I get started?

A: If you do not already have a deck, click here to buy Tarot Cards and books from Amazon.com. If you don't know which deck to get, I recommend Rider Waite. It's a well-known deck, and it is easy to find books and tutorials about it. Start with a one card reading. Just ask "What will my day be like today?" and write down the card you pick in a journal that you keep to keep track of your readings (click here to buy a blank journal if you don't already have one). Over time, you will notice that certain patterns occur.

Q: Do I need another book or lessons, or do cards come with instructions?

A: Most decks come with a very small pamphlet that explains some of the meanings behind the cards, but these are usually terse and rather hard-edged. You don't want to stick with such a shallow understanding of the cards. You will fill out your knowledge through your personal daily readings, and from reading books about the Tarot. What I do is to ask myself what the symbols on the card mean to me - and that triggers ideas and impressions that are important to the client.

Q: Do I need a special box to store my Tarot cards in?

A: Most decks come with a nice box, but if they do not, you can find nice unfinished boxes at craft stores or dollar stores that are just fine for keeping your cards safe. Tarot cards will work the same whether you keep them wrapped in black silk and stored an an alabaster box as they will if you just wrap an elastic band around them and stick them in a drawer ... but they will last longer if you treat them more carefully.

Q: Do I need to be psychic to use Tarot cards?

A: In all honesty it helps! But it is not absolutely mandatory. You can use Tarot cards to improve your empathic or intuitive abilities though. It may be a good idea to get a copy of Brandi Jasmine's book "Living With Your Psychic Gifts" before you start reading Tarot cards, especially if you feel that you are emotionally or psychically sensitive.

Q: Do I need to do any sort of protection ritual before I get started?

A: Yes, this is a good idea. Draw a circle of light around yourself, and affirm that you seek only the information that is in your highest good and the highest good of all concerned.

Q: What if I pick the Death Card? Am I going to die?

A: 99.9999999 times out of 100, no, you (or a loved one) are not going to die. The Death Card stands for a symbolic death rather than a literal one most of the time. Most often, this is going to be the "death" of a friendship or a relationship, the end of a job, or the end of your reliance on something that has not been in your best interests.

You must NEVER tell someone that you are reading for that you think they are going to die if you pull this Tarot card on their behalf. Even if you feel psychically that someone will die, if they cannot change this, if you get no other details, how can this information help them? If they are young, maybe gently encourage them to make some positive lifestyle changes or prepare them to accept changes that are coming in the future.

You must also NEVER close up the reading and walk away quaking in fear and refusing to speak if you see the Death Card. This is absolutely the most irresponsible thing you can do. This happens a lot with amateur readers and what happens is that the client leaves worrying if they are 1) going to die or 2) demon possessed or worse. This absolutely irresponsible and ignorant behavior has caused a lot of emotional trauma, and it's all been unnecessary. If you are not sure what a card means, then don't read for others, or at least admit to them you are not sure, but assure them that the card only stands for dramatic changes.
