Don't learn Tarot card meanings. Do this instead...

  • It's easy to think that the way to go is to learn various meanings for different cards, and then apply them in answers. This is not so easy, however. Instead, develop understanding, and you can always apply that, no matter what the question. Here is an example.

      @@kristine6996 I think it's a valid type of literary form when a person only says part of a very well-known phrase. An example would be if someone says "There but for the grace of God." We all get the meaning, because we know that the whole thing is "There but for the grace of God, go I." Sometime recently, I was watching tv and one of the actors was trying to decide between keeping something he had, or trying to get something a bit better. He said, "A bird in hand." Because we all know the ending is "...worth two in the bush." Anyway I just wanted to mention this stuff, because it looked like you were correcting what Eiran said as if it was wrong, but it's a technically valid and acceptable form of communication.

    I had a brain flash when I was watching a video of some card decks and one deck the book didn't say "meanings" it said, "possible interpretations." And I thought, the cards don't have (set) meanings. They have possible interpretations. It'd not like a code where 1=A. You can't just match the card to a meaning. You have to interpret it.

      December 1, 2015
      Sinead O’Connor worried everybody on Sunday when she shared a concerning Facebook post that said that she had taken an overdose. Although the singer was found ‘safe and sound’ yesterday, she is clearly still struggling to cope and has taken to her social media account to share another emotional post.
      Sinead slams her children, 28-year-old Jake, 19-year-old Roisin, 11-year-old Shane, eight-year-old Yeshua, and their fathers - claiming that they have not been supportive of her.
      Writing to almost 598,000 Facebook followers, Sinead rants: “Jake, Roisin, Jr., frank, Donal, Eimear, I never wanna see you again. You stole my sons from me.
      “Then you had hypocrisy to come to hospital and then not be here when I wake and not pick up phone? I’m sh*t to you. You’re dead to me. You killed your mother. You stole my sons.
      “You left me alone for twelve weeks! Why did I have to hear it was your hypocritical a*ses here while I was unconscious?? And now you’re Gone and not picking up phone?
      “You are child stealing murderers, I never want to see or hear from any of you again. Why were you here when you’re the ones who put me here????
      “And where the f*ck are you now??? Murderers. Liars. Hypocrites. All of you. You caused this. [SIC]”
      Police were called to Sinead’s aid after she posted a similarly emotional post over the weekend, with the 48-year-old star claiming that she had checked into a hotel in Ireland under a different name and had taken an overdose.

    For those that don't fully understand what is being advised here, it is that your readings should be more instinctive and intuitive, rather than a simple "text book" interpretation.
    This works very well with runes, pendulums, and any means or devise that requires the user to "speak" for them.
    No, you can't just make something up, based on your own imagination. You do need a basic knowledge of what the card, rune, or symbol is generally accepted to mean.
    However, how, exactly, those pieces fit together will vary from one person to the other, and one situation to another. And that's even if the same sequence comes up for different people.

      Anyhow, you can choose any verse in the Bible and claim it supports a belief (a narrative). Let’s remember that the council put together by Constantine to piece the Bible together... were Romans... the same people responsible for murdering Yeshua. Romans put the Bible together to control the masses, not to teach true spiritual and divine connection. For example, If you are participating in communion, you are participating in a sacrificial blood ritual. All is not what it seems and truth is stranger than fiction. Judgment and fear come from the lower realms, and supporting that narrative, you are pushing a dark agenda.

    I just got my first tarot deck ("The Essential Tarot" by Chloé Zarka Grinsnir) and I saw a review for the deck that said "Don't read the book that comes with it for the card meanings, get a journal and shuffle the cards and each card that comes out write down the meaning you feel from it in the journal before reading about the meaning of the card online/in the book"... and I believe that's a great advice because it makes you trust your intuition a lot more and you don't have to force external influences and ideas to fit into how you see the cards.. It's better to look at each card and write down what you think of it and feel from it and letting that be your definition for it first then researching on the cards after to just help with some clarity.. I agree with your video!

    • @dm7744
      @dm7744 Рік тому

      It's more useful to know the characteristics of each suit and the symbols rather than meaning of each card. So it would be better to know how the empress feels or Expresses herself rather than the meaning of her card. The meanings limit you. But knowing that an Emperor is cardinal Aries fire energy is very useful, if that makes sense

Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you

      1stly you're clearly uneducated on this topic fom what I am seeing. You're basing things from what you are told or taught to immediately think of instead of doing actual research about the topic. You're basing things from uneducated people that are teaching others.
      But secondly? It's ironic, really. You say to not imitate the detestable ways of the nations, and yet that's what you're doing. The entanglement with the ways of seemingly immediate judgement is understandable, as it's passed down generation by generation. Seeing you're entangled with misunderstandings you may not correct, I'll forgive you on that.
      You shouldn't judge by the book's cover or what other people say, but instead understand the book you're looking at and read it. I don't need to quote the Bible on these things, but if you wanted I can give you a good session within this comment section.
      I mean, respecting others beliefs and understanding them, isn't that what God wanted us to do? Loving and understanding each and every living being, and letting them do what they want as long they won't harm others?
      Those actions you speak of with witches... I'm not a college teacher so I won't dive too deep into that, but think of it this way: You know now that God hates the fact that we would wish bad upon others and kill others for the sake of their own gain. They wanted that specific part practice gone, it wasn't part of it in anyway as it just some added words by the devil that they others fell for. And it's more or less gone, so what's there more to correct?
      God doesn't need compliments to see if someone is a good person. They'll send the good people to heaven, not the ones who try to add the sugarcoating to the one they're following/praising.
      Thank you for your time I suppose. Or not. I wouldn't know.

    John you are a liberator from the machine of mechanical mind. A violet in the shade of a great forest, I see the sun shine on your sharing. So, tarot is a symbolic medium for hearts and minds to meet and open up. An art form where the artist mirrors some aspect the other may not see or be able to express. I had a reading when i was 23 and looking to leave the armed forces. That reading stays with me still. I look forward to watching more of your videos and perhaps turning my daily personal readings (20 yrs and still using the book) into something shared.
