Understanding Symbols In Tarot Card Readings

By Stacey Burt


In ancient time, original psychic readings were often performed with traditional playing cards. Each suit representing a different energy. Rune and tarot card readings have come a long way since that time. Two great representations of this are custom runes, and spiritually artistic decks like the Goddess Oracle by Hrana Janto.

Some readers frown against others touching the cards. Others find that this is the only real way to exchange energy with a client. When doing so, it is important to cleanse the cards between each reading either with sage, or some other form of clearing process.

The history of tarot goes back to the ancients which used regular playing cards when providing services to clients. As time developed, so too the many different artistic and spiritual cards now on the market. Whether using a traditional playing card deck, or a specialized version, it is essential to know the symbols and associated meanings associated with the deck.

Not only are there a number of different tarot decks now available, each deck generally offers a number of different layouts. So, when a reader acquires a new deck, there is often a learning curve in which the individual must learn the different meanings related to each card as well as the different layouts in which that particular deck works best for various readings.

Once a reader learns the different layouts which work best for a deck, then it is generally a good idea to offer clients at least two different layouts. Most readers do this by offering both an all inclusive, or a shorter, mini-3 card layout representing past, present and future. While some offer these mini-layouts, others avoid doing so in favor of more elaborate layouts, often in exchange for a higher fee.

Music, renaissance, spiritual and other festivals are often good places to find tarot readers. Most often these readers have to pay for a booth or other location. As such, it is imperative that clients provide not only the requested base fee but a nice gratuity when and where possible. Participants generally also have to pay for insurance, and post a sign stating that services are for entertainment purposes only.

While some palmists and psychics can be found working independently, or for local companies in entertainment districts, festivals or Pagan bookstores, others work out of private home and offices. Currently, phone and online offerings are beginning to outperform local and traveling psychics. Although, a resurgence I freak shows could also result in a resurgence of fortune tellers at carnivals as well as other festivals around the world.

Lastly, readers, old and new need to realize there are going to be skeptics who ridicule psychics and the profession as being fraudulent. Only those who have seen the power of the tarot through accurate "Lifepath Psychic Readings, " or traditional ones are going to be the biggest believers. Whereas, those who believe the act of reading cards, palms and other aspects of the occult are of the devil will most likely never believe the beauty or magic of the many different decks now available in bookstores and online.
