How to play tarot cards?

The first step: preparation in advance and taboo

First of all, the most important thing is to ensure that your body and mind are in a good state of peace before using tarot cards. Reading tarot cards is a hard job, and you must concentrate on it to understand the current significance of tarot cards.

When is the best time to speculate?

As long as your mental state is clear enough, you can do it at any time.

Where to speculate?

Find a place that won't disturb you. An ideal place: go to your quiet nest with friends, make a cup of black tea and read fate together!

Why should we speculate?

Of course, tarot cards! At this time, guess with 22 big tarot cards.

A piece of black cloth. Basically, tarot cards need a table with enough space for cards. Prepare a clean cloth to spread on the desktop to prevent the card from contacting the desktop directly and getting dirty easily. As for the suggestion that you use black, it is because black is the color that can gather light and energy most scientifically and speculatively.

What are the taboos?

You can't guess the same question twice in the same place. Sika is a tool for you to spy on the corner of your destiny, and it can be said that it is your partner on the journey of your destiny. Therefore, you must trust it absolutely. If the result it tells you is not satisfactory, you should still maintain a respectful attitude. Never have the mentality of "counting the good results"-fate is not a game of trial and error. If you go your own way, your tarot cards will not be willing to show you any correct answers in the future.

You must believe in your own tarot cards.

Don't lose any cards. A set of cards, like brothers and sisters, has its integrity. No matter which card is lost, it is a kind of harm to the card itself. So my advice to you is: please take care of it.

Avoid unexpected situations when shuffling cards. In the shuffling process explained in the third step, the following situations will occur: washing, after washing, a card suddenly turns red and faces up; Or wash some cards to the ground; Or put the cards in the wrong pile when cutting cards, etc. You should try to avoid these accidents, because all these phenomena show one thing: your spirit may not be focused enough, which will have the most serious impact on the outcome of speculation.

Step 2: Identify the problem and the way to speculate.

After everything is ready, the next step is to confirm the questions you want to ask. Remember: before the next step-"shuffling", you must confirm the problem. Once you start shuffling, you can't change the subject.

Step 3: Shuffle the cards

Shuffle * * * has two different actions. Repeat these two shuffles every time you guess.

Let's start with the first shuffle. Put twenty-two tarot cards face down in your own hands. Concentrate and don't think about anything. Then, begin to obey your will, take a drop from the middle of the pile and put it on the top of the pile. Repeat the same action several times, depending on your wishes.

Next, put the cards on the plane and prepare for the second shuffle (see the picture below). Similarly, your mind must still focus on spreading the cards in a circle and start shuffling them in chronological order with both hands. While shuffling cards, meditate on the questions to be speculated and think about the cards to be used.

Listen to your inner voice and you will feel when to stop; At this time, slowly gather the cards (don't forget the clockwise direction), and finally restore them to a stack of cards and put them horizontally.

In addition, there are some conjectures that require the questioner to concentrate his will and meditate on his own problems. At this time, you just need to keep your thoughts free from distractions. When to stop shuffling depends on the questioner.

Step 4: Cut the card.

Card cutting is the time for questioners to show their talents. When you have washed the cards and folded them face down, you should let the questioner cut the cards. Of course, if the questioner is yourself, you have to cut the cards yourself.

First of all, ask your opponent to concentrate, pick up a card from the top of the stack according to his own will (never take it), and put this card under the original stack (that is, near your direction) and turn it into two drops (see the picture below).

Again, take another card from the top of the second drop; This will be placed above the first drag and drop. Now, there are three cards in front of you.

Next, it's up to you to turn the cards back. First, pick up the first drop and put it on the second drop. Then pick up the combination of the first and second waterfalls and put them on top of the third waterfall. This will be reduced to a pile of cards.

We have one last card cut. In the previous process, the cards are all horizontally facing down. Now we must turn the cards over. This action must not be mistaken: if you are guessing the other party, your rotation direction is counterclockwise; In other words, you have to turn the left end of the tarot card down 90 degrees and turn it straight. If you guess for yourself, turn the card 90 degrees clockwise. Once you make a mistake, the meaning of the whole card will be completely reversed. Be careful!

Step 5: Pat Type

Shuffling and cutting cards are the most important steps in the whole process. The next card arrangement is much simpler. You just need to arrange the cards in the arrangement you just decided to use. Remember one thing:

In the process of arranging cards, all tarot cards should be kept face down. Usually, only a part of the cards will be used in the card type, and the remaining cards will be kept straight down, folded and put aside.

Step 6: Open the card and interpret it.

After the cards are arranged, open each card in order. The way to open the card is to turn it from left to right. After all the cards are turned over, it's time for you to interpret them.

Composition of cards

Tarot is a card divination tool that combines ancient language and art. All emotions, feelings, experiences and obstacles will be presented in the cards.

Grand Acana

The traditional tarot card has 78 cards and consists of two parts. 22 of them are called Grand Acana. Used to describe your character and destiny. At present, this part is also the main part of most tarot divination.

0 fool 1 magician

2 priestess 3 queen

4 Emperor Emperor 5 Priest Tutor

6 lovers lovers 7 chariots chariots

8 strength strength 9 hermit hermit

10 wheel of fortune 1 1 just justice

12 hung upside down 13 died.

14 Festival Temperance 15 Devil

16 tower 17 tower stars

1August bright 19 sun

20 Judge 2 1 World World

minor arcana

The other part was added later to make up for the big Jacques. Little Akana has 56 cards. It is about describing past, present and future events, environments and behaviors.

Staff, cup, sword, star

Because little Jacques was later added to supplement the accuracy of big Jacques in divination, it was originally replaced by ordinary playing cards, so little Jacques' card map has no obvious standard, which is quite free for modern card painters.

Little Jacques consists of four groups, namely, the wand, the cup, the sword and the stars. These four groups of cards each hold 14 cards. They are all made up of ACE < 1 > to 10, plus four palace cards, pages, knights, queens and kings.

By the way, it is reasonable to believe that the structure of these four groups of cards is influenced by playing cards on the one hand, and also permeated with some ideas of earth, water, fire and wind.

-Employee card

Belonging to fire is a description of creativity, action and life.

-Cup card

Belonging to water is a description of love, emotion, relationship and environment.

-Jianka

Belonging to the wind is a description of strength, ambition and desire.

-Star card (or coin card)

Territory is about wealth and money and so on.

Tarot cards are not something that deceives the world. They make your experience and wisdom grow. They won't tell you how to make a lot of money, but they will tell you something more important than money. Tarot cards are tools of self-motivation.

Opening and closing ceremonies

The so-called card opening ceremony is the ceremony of degaussing the card just after buying it. Of course, it is not necessary, it is just the habit of some people.

Preparations for the sacred separation ceremony

First of all, there are four elements, that is, those things on the table:

Fire-candles or incense burners, such as those used by priestesses in Vittarot cards.

Earth-rock, minerals or crystals will feel better than ordinary stones.

Wind knives, swords and other things all mean "sharp", but you don't have to use a sharp knife, such as a beautiful letter opener.

Water-a beautiful cup, never use a mug or coffee cup, it's too ... some people use conch, which is very creative.

In fact, there is no need to be too formal, as long as it can represent the four elements. There are different expressions in many places, so don't worry.

These things had better be specially used for ceremonies, instead of birthday candles and cups. Hey, hey, I don't feel so good. In fact, in addition to the sacred farewell ceremony, you can also let these guys out during divination. I heard that there will be four elements of power to cheat secretly ... ha! Just kidding, it will have a more magical effect, but I am too lazy to do these things at ordinary times. Too much trouble.

First, meditation

Meditation, like meditation in divination, tries to achieve the state of no mind, eyes and nose, and nose and mind.

Second, pray-open, resurrect, touch.

As for the role of prayer in opening new cards, reviving Tarot spirit and connecting the universe, the contents are all written by myself. Please refer to the signing ceremony in the comic book Elves: "All Elves who listen to my voice! Under the king of the moon, you printed unfinished magic on me! Give me the strength of my right hand and the spirit of my left hand, and I will try my best to explore the destiny you are pursuing! Contract! This is a perfect prayer, with the spirit of opening, resurrection and connection.

Third, the fragrance is too strong

Passing incense is like worshipping God in a temple. Just take the card and turn it clockwise on the incense burner.

Four, the five-pointed star of water "finger touching the water draws a five-pointed star in the air"

When drawing five awns, it should be noted that the first stroke is drawn from bottom to top, and the five vertices are drawn in turn. In other words, start from the bottom point, draw to the highest point above, and finally draw to the original bottom point.

Verb (short for verb) meditation

Sixth, look at the cards

It takes a lot of time and energy to read cards one by one, so pay special attention.

Seven, the first hexagram: goodwill

The first divination is the virgin divination of this deck. The content is informal, but it mainly asks questions about yourself and the cards, such as whether the cards feel out of place with you and whether they conform to the spirit of tarot cards.

Eight, the card

Receiving cards is the same as receiving cards on weekdays. You can collect cards in order, calm your mind while collecting them, tie a knot with meditation after collecting them, and then put them in the box for receiving cards.

p？ S receives cards in the order of 0-2 1 in alker and fire-ground-wind-water in alker.

Different systems have different ways to open cards. The content posted here is for reference only.

Divination ceremony

There are several points before counting cards:

1. clean ... hands, table, clean. ...

2. Quiet ... Can you be free from external evil spirits? ...

3. Keep a secret ... don't disclose the questioner's privacy. ...

4. Meditation ... Purify the environment with meditation ...

Meditation is the most influential result of divination ... To be a good fortune teller, the most important thing is to be able to master the ghost's thoughts: first, meditate before divination ... imagine yourself as the center ... surrounded by a circle ... there is nothing in the circle ... as quiet as the universe. ....

Think again, there is an energy around the circle wind, fire, water and soil, asking them to give strength ... reconsider ... imagine that these four energies are gathering in the circle ... and gradually integrate into it. ....

At this moment ... I'm going to finish before I open the card. ...

When you know the other person's problem, you can start to meditate ... maybe ... ask the questioner to think about this problem ... feelings, etc ... If you can hold each other's hands and meditate together, the effect will be better ... (If you feel embarrassed, you can also hold the card and let the other person put his hand on it ...) ... Meditate until you feel it, and then start shuffling. ....

Unlocking the card ... will not stop continuing this dream. ....

When the problem is completed ... you can prepare to accept the cards. ....

Meditate again after receiving the card ... imagine yourself in the big circle just now ... thanks to the power of the four elements ... the imagination gradually stops integrating into the circle until it stops ... the imagination circle gradually shrinks and disappears. .......

Then ... you have returned to the original world. ....

The closing ceremony is very simple:

Wrap the card in black cloth and put it in the north of the room. Please do it carefully, preferably with meditation.
