How to Read Tarot Cards
Tarot card reading is the practice of using tarot cards to gain insight into the past, present, and future. The most powerful way to read the Tarot is to use the cards to access your intuition and your inner wisdom. The imagery in the cards give you instant access to your subconscious mind and your intuition. And from this place of inner power and wisdom, you can discover how to make positive changes now so you can manifest your goals and your dreams in the future.
Tarot cards originated in northern Italy during the late 14th or early 15th century. The oldest deck is the Visconti- Sforza deck, this deck was created for the Duke of Milan’s family. The original purpose for tarot cards was to play games. They were sold to wealthy families in Italy. Tarot cards are there to give guidance and they tell u what is happening in your life like careers, goals and general life path. According to tarot historian, Gertrude Moakley the cards’ fanciful images—from the Fool to Death—were inspired by the costumed figures who participated in carnival parades.
How to use Tarot Cards:
Step one: Open your tarot box then hold the cards in your hand.While holding the deck tap the pile of cards several times to spread your energy through the deck.
Step two: While still holding the cards, take a few deep breaths and ask your spirit guides for a clear message of what you want this reading to be about for example, love, money, future, etc. Then give the cards a good shuffle. Cut the cards into three piles and then put them into one pile again.
Step three: Spread the cards on the floor or a flat surface. Then choose the cards you are drawn to. If you aren’t sure what the card means consult with the guide book that is provided in the deck and trust your intuition.
Crystal Cleansing
Crystals are an easy and fun way to introduce spirituality to your life. Just having some crystals in your presence can impact your mood. Crystals scientifically emit energy and vibrations. Each person has different vibrations. People with high vibrations radiate kindness and compassion, while people with lower vibrations, have “low vibe” emotions and experience a lot of jealousy and anger. A person’s vibrations are very unstable and can easily be changed based on their environment. This is where crystals come in to help. Crystals’s vibrations are stable and never change. This is because they’re made up of a fixed, regularly repeating, perfect geometric pattern of molecules. Crystals having a fixed vibration means they have more stable energy, and more stable energy means more powerful energy. And powerful energy can influence the energies around it. You being the energy influenced. There are many different ways that you can cleanse your crystals.
-Moonlight
You can cleanse your crystals under any moon no matter what stage it’s in. The best moon stage to do this technique is a full moon. All you need to do is place your crystals outside or in a window sill, and make sure your crystals are in the moonlight.
-Selenite Crystal
Selenite is a crystal that naturally transmutes negative energy. All you need to do for this method is place the crystal you wish to charge on or close to your selenite bar.
-Smoke Cleansing
Sage is usually used with this method, but incense works too. Light your sage or incense and hold your crystals over the smoke. You can also use this method to set your intention with the crystal.
-Water
This technique is as easy as it sounds. All you need to do is place your crystal in a bowl of plain or moon-charged water, but be careful because not every crystal can be in the water. Some crystals dissolve when in water, so you can do a quick google search to see if it’s safe for your crystal.
