ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS SHARE THE BEAUTY AND GRACE OF THE TAROT WITH YOUR CLIENTS OR FRIENDS AND HELP THEM TO FEEL SAFE AND AT PEACE AS THEY SHUFFLE AND HANDLE THE DECK. EASE ANY CONCERN OR DOUBT THAT THEY MAY HAVE AND REMAIN CONFIDENT AND LOVING IN THE PROCESS. AS YOU DEMONSTRATE YOUR OWN EASE YOUR CLIENT WILL MIRROR YOU. YOU ARE ALSO A MIRROR, A KEY COMPONENT OF A PERSONS EXPERIENCE WITH TAROT. NEVER NEVER NEVER SEEM ALARMED OR FRIGHTENED BY A CARD. REMAIN CALM AND CONFIDENT AND YOUR CLIENT WILL PROSPER.
Using the Tarot cards is an infinite exploration that can enchant you for the duration of your life. Once you have acquired a sense of ease and comfort with a chosen deck, it is then time to begin play time and sacred time with them. They will be your ally and your guide as they assist you toward deeper understanding of your inner and outer world. It is like discovering picture language that is stored in the memory cells of your body and will be mirrored back to you when ever you wish. You can imagine your way into new definitions as the moment arises, and you can fall back on traditional wisdom that has been passed down through the ages.
I wish to share some keynotes on how to go about doing a reading, and also share some of my little secrets with you.
When we are about to do a reading for ourselves or another person, it is important to take note of the archetype that we hold within our self at that time, for that energy will be manifesting throughout the reading. I often think of Temperance, and the keynote "Grounding Cosmic Energy". I feel it is appropriate to GROUND before a session, and to align with one's guides. You may think of the Magician or the High Priestess, which ever archetype you call up, be prepared to move with the energy.
Next, of course, you must clear your heart and open the channel so that you may receive clarity from the center of love. This is why I call upon the Mother\Father God. There is a gentle force when working through the heart center, and this opens visions and intuition.
You are now ready to handle, shuffle, and mix the cards putting your loving vibration into them, affirming love and light while you handle them. I do not voice this out loud, this is done within myself. When I feel I have cleared the deck, I hand them to my client, asking he or she to do the same as I have done. At this time that I openly invite the Tarot Oracle to join us and I acknowledge the power of love and light that streams in.
As you become more sure of your own intuition you will know when your client is finished. Some people are a bit self conscious because they may think they are taking too long, and so rush their process. It is my job to see to it that the cards feel energized and if I feel they are not, I will ask my client to shuffle them more. I then ask them to cut the deck three times and to put them back together in any way they wish. I then decide whether they will choose their own cards, or if I will lay them out at that point. I will discuss this in class.
Your are now ready to proceed with the reading of the cards.
