Learn to read the tarot, basic guide

If you want to learn to read tarot, you should start here .

Even after many years , it is still not known for sure what the true origin of the
tarot is.

It is believed that it comes from Egypt and that the plates are part of the book of
the god Thoth, in which all the knowledge of life could be found.

The truth is that today, it continues to be a widely used method of consultation

and prediction .

In this post I share with you a basic guide to learn to read tarot.

If you already have your tarot, we can continue moving forward.

If not, I recommend that you get one because without it, it will be very difficult
for you to relate the meanings.

I recommend getting the Rider - Waite Tarot deck, the images are very
illustrative and it will be easier for you to connect the card with its meaning.

5 tarot readings to start reading the cards

on 09/11/2019P or Dianavaz

On the Internet, there are thousands of tarot readings, but how do you choose
the best one to practice?

If you have ever had your cards read , you have probably seen that the tarot
reader usually puts many cards on the table in a certain order and in different
positions.

These are called tarot readings.

Each tarot reader has their own methods and we must remember that nothing
is set in stone, for this reason , what works for some, may or may not work
for others.

Taking the above into account, at this point, you should already know the
meanings of the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana .

Therefore, here I present 5 easy tarot readings to start reading the cards.
I chose spreads of 3 cards because when starting out, it is a little complicated
to relate the meanings of the cards that

They are together and above all, ground them in the situation you are
wondering about.

These are some of the first runs I started making.

Normally, I don't make extravagant formations or anything, I just ask and

draw the cards that resonate with me, from there , I make my interpretation .

PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

IDEAL TO KNOW THE CONTEXT OF A SITUATION

DISCOVERTAROT.COM
With this spread, we can discover the context of a situation .
For example, if you or your consultant want to know what decision to make
about a situation , I recommend that you first draw 3 cards with this
formation , to know the context.

What has already happened , what is happening and what is going to happen.

At this point it is important to keep in mind that the cards are read individually
and if you have any questions or want to expand the reading about any of the
times, take out an extra card.

This will help you have more details of the moment and, later, will give you a
broader overview of the situation .

ROLL YES AND NO

This is one of my favorite spreads and one of the ones I use the most.

Mainly because it helps me answer questions where I need a very specific

answer.

When working with this tarot reading, remember that the questions you ask
must be answered with a YES or NO.

When you take out the cards, interpret their meaning, because beyond giving
you a negative or positive answer, they will tell you why they have responded
that way and describe the situation to you.
COUPLE SHOT

DISCOVERTAROT.COM

When you start reading the letters, you will realize that the most frequently
asked questions have to do with love.

Because ?

Because above all on this topic, we like to be certain about what is happening.

This is a very simple test to find out the feelings that exist between a couple.

On the one hand, it describes what she feels and on the other, what he feels .
In the middle is the letter that talks about what unites this couple and there ,
you will be able to realize if they are both in tune and going on the same path.

fear roll
It is very common to feel afraid about something.

With this test, you will be able to discover where that fear comes from and
also give you advice to face it.

Knowing the background of a fear will give you a better perspective to

overcome it.

Fortress Shoot
As in the fear roll, with this training , you will be able to discover what your
greatest strength is in the face of a situation .

It is important to pay attention to what the cards tell you, so that you can use
this as a benefit for yourself.

How to read the tarot without risks

Learn the true way to read tarot without risks.

Since I got into tarot, I realized that there are many myths that warn us about
tarot readings.
 They associate it with the devil, dark arts (not even Lord Voldemort), negative
energies or the opening of portals by reading cards at night , bad luck, ghosts,
dead people, zombies, nightmares, evil eye, diseases, karma and even the
extinction of polar bears.

I already invented that; But all these " risks " are very far from reality. Here I
tell you how to read the tarot without risks.

Tarot has earned these negative attributions through ignorance, most people
are afraid of it because they don't really know how it works or what it is
about.

When " strange " things happen before, during and after reading the tarot it is
more than anything by suggestion .

Your head can stay on some thought or on what you perceived while reading
and that is why your brain reacts in these ways.

Although that doesn't mean that card readings are free of bad situations...

For me , you can read the tarot without risks and, in any case, the biggest risk
is knowing things that you really did n't want to know, because as I told you
in Tarot: that 's how I started reading it, this is a tool that It allows you to see
beyond your reality.

Therefore, whenever you want to ask a question to the tarot, ask yourself if you
really want to know the answer and if you are willing to accept it.

In case you feel the need to protect yourself, you can do some rituals to ask your
beings of light to accompany you during the process, lighting a candle or incense
will help you feel calmer ...

All of this will depend on the tarot reader and the rituals he performs to get in
sync with his deck.

Finally , I recommend that if you are starting to learn cartomancy, you clear your
mind of doubts and lose your fear.
Tarot is a wonderful universe of knowledge and a lot has to do with people's
disposition , especially wanting to develop intuition .

Read, practice, consult, ask and connect with your tarot card.

You will build knowledge from your experiences, because in this matter, no one
has the absolute truth.
