Learning to read the tarot cards..

Hiya everyone,

About a year ago I posted a bit on how I was going to teach myself how to learn the tarot and that I was so determined to do so. Unfortunately, life (and my inability to stick to one project at a time) got in the way and I got distracted by other shiny new things. 

This summer however, I will do it. I've managed to get a few family members on board who are going to learn with me which I hope will be beneficial as we will be able to encourage each other and help each other whilst learning. I've mentioned it to my friends and they've been very supportive and are keen for me to practice on them which is even better! 

We have an exellent teacher named Steve (who works at Quest as an angel card reader) and lessons are due to start any week now. I'm getting rather excited and will be posting a little summary after each lesson to keep track of my progress. 

The pack of cards we will each be using are The Original Rider Waite Tarot Deck accompanied by The Tarot Bible. 

You can purchase these from spiritualquest.co.uk

I've been toying with these cards for well over a year now and they really are beautiful and the clearest deck I've seen before. The bible is filled with detailed explanations of each card; different layouts and how to read the tarot. Both are fantastic for beginners.

If you are interested in learning how to read the tarot yourself, Steve is holding a 5 week Tarot Course running from 7pm - 9pm on Tuesdays 29th July, 12th August, 26th August, 9th September and 23rd September for £60. If you'd like to book a place, give us a call on 01372 878606

The Angel Cards (Oracle cards)

Oracle cards are often confused with Tarot cards, however, they are both very different. In a deck of tarot cards, you have the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. In each deck of tarot cards, no matter what 'theme' the artwork is, the designs and meaning of each card is the same. Alternatively, in the oracle cards, there is a theme ie. angels or unicorns or fairies and the meanings and designs of the cards differ in each deck. 

Doreen Virtue (who has published many decks of oracle cards) says:

“Oracle cards are an ancient, time – honored way to connect with angels and spirit guides. They’re based on Pythagorean numerology, which states that all numbers and images vibrate in mathematically precise ways.” 

Daily Guidance from your Angels Oracle Cards

Compared to other divination techniques, Oracle cards are a fairly recent development. Branching off from the tarot cards to become their own divination tool about 200 years ago. The Oracle cards were very popular in 19th Century France and Marie Anne Adelaide Lenormand helped them gain in popularity. Marie Anne Adelaide Lenormand was a famous fortune teller and practiced her skills for 40 years; using different techniques of divination, mainly the Oracle cards. Nowadays, in France, she is considered the greatest cartomancer of all time.

Oracle cards are a fantastic way to get in touch with your spirituality. Gentler and easier to remember than tarot cards, but are still an incredibly accurate divination tool.

Palmistry

 Palmistry has been around for over 5000 years and is said to have been used to see what job that person was going to do, whether it be farmer, teacher, philosopher, doctor etc. The Ancient Greek's used palmistry as a clinical aid.


Today, Palmistry is used as a divining technique of past, present and future. It can give you an insight into relationships, direction in a career, help with family concerns or give you guidance in a health matter and can also help in determining the kind of person you are.  

There are three main lines on your palms. The head line, heart line and life line. These lines stretch across your palms and intertwine, link or cross other smaller lines. Palmists look at each line and how it appears on your hand and are able to see a multitude of things, including relationships, career, health, family, big occasions in your life and more. All of these things can help people move on, deal with certain issues and just to learn more about themselves, as well as many other things.

What is not commonly known is that the lines on your hands do change, and so palmistry can be used either for clarification that you are on the right track or to see if you are heading in the wrong direction and that its time to take action.
