Theories about the History of Tarot
The origins of Tarot are somewhat obscure, the most common theories go to
ancient Egypt and Thoth and the connection to the ancient mystery school
teachings. There is a common myth that Tarot was brought to Europe by the
Gypsies.
Some believe that a form of Tarot goes back to ancient China.
It is believed that all ancient civilizations developed their own systems of
divination based on the same symbolism and archetypes.
Tarot as we know it today is a collection of images and symbols from a wide
variety of cultures, from the ancient Greeks and Romans to the prehistoric Norse
peoples, from the ancient religions of India and Egypt to the medieval courts of
Italy and France.
The first clear reference that we have to Tarot cards is from a sermon that was
collected with many others about 1500 in Italy found in the Steele Manuscript. The
sermon is thought to date from about 1450 to 1470 and is a diatribe against games
of chance. It gives a detailed description of the Tarot trumps, not only numbering
them but naming them as well.
The oldest group of surviving Tarot cards, called Tarocchi in Italian, appears to
date from 1420 to 1450. Although the oldest cards that we have are hand-painted
ones, many scholars believe that printed or wood block cards predate the hand-
painted ones. However, as most early printed cards were much-used and of poor
quality, the earliest printed cards date from later than the hand-painted ones by
twenty to fifty years so that there is no physical evidence to show which type of
cards were the first to be created. By about 1500, Tarot decks had become fairly
standardized although there were individual differences from deck to deck even as
there are today.
Antoine Court de Gebelin, (1725-84), a French linguist, cleric, occultist, Mason,
member of the Lodge of the Philalethes, and author of the nine-volume work Le
Monde Primitif - was convinced of the mystical significance of the Tarot and fond
of Egyptian lore, this pre-Rosetta Stone. He believed the cards' birth place was
ancient Egypt, where they served as tools of initiation into the priesthood. For him,
the Tarot's Major Arcana was the Book of Thoth, a synthesis of all knowledge once
held in hieroglyphic form in burned Egyptian temples and libraries.
He claimed that it had escaped the destruction of the Library of Alexandria. At the
time he was writing this, the skill of reading hieroglyphics had been lost for almost
1200 years and there existed the widely held belief that they were magical symbols
concealing the lost knowledge of antiquity. He saw the Tarot as a contemporarily
available pictorial embodiment of this occult wisdom, a tangible link with the past.
A French man, (erroneously believed by some to have been barber, he merely had
lodgings above a barbers shop) named Alliette, writing under the pseudonym
Etteilla (his name spelled backwards), followed de Gebelin's lead and revised the
Tarot to comply with his own idiosyncratic idea of Egyptian mysticism. It has to be
said, his Tarot has had less influence upon subsequent designs than have his ideas.
In the mid 1850s a third Frenchman, Alphonse Louis Constant (originally a deacon
of the Catholic Church), began to publish occult works. For the purposes of
authorship he translated his name into Hebrew and wrote under the name Eliphas
Levi (he dropped the final Zahed?. His books contained Tarot references and
symbolism and it was he who first established the link between the Tarot and
cabala (or Qabalah).
He felt that the god Thoth-Hermes made the original deck. His theory contains
mathematical ideas similar to those of Pythagoras, whom he admired.
Eliphas Levi (real name: Alphonse Louis Constant, author of 'History of Magic|'),
1810-1875, was a French priest and Rosicruician who thought the Tarot the key to
the Bible, the Jewish Qabbalah, and all other ancient spiritual writings. He
attempted to link the 22 cards of the Major Arcana to the letters of the Hebrew
alphabet. He drew parallels between Tarot suits and the four letters of the
Tetragrammaton, YHVH ('Yahweh').
Late nineteenth-century Parisian author Paul Christian (Jean Baptiste Pitois) was a
follower of Levi's who believed that Major Arcana cards represent hieroglyphic
paintings found on columns in ancient Egyptian galleries. He also sought parallels
between the Tarot and Qabbalistic astrology.
Papus (Gerard Encausse, 1865-1916), a French doctor, philosopher, and
Theosophist, was another believer in the Tarot's Egyptian sources. Known for the
book 'The Tarot of the Bohemians', he believed the Tarot a bearer of ancient
designs inscribed in secret chambers below the Pyramids. The designs represented
initiation tests. When the temples were at risk, the priests transferred the mystical
designs to materials which later became a pack of cards. Papus, too, described a
link between Tarot and the Tetragrammaton. He also dealt with numerology and
the Tree of Life.
MacGregor (Samuel Liddell) Mathers lead the English Order of the Golden Dawn,
which was founded in 1886. He studied Jewish, Egyptian, Christian, and
alchemical mysticism. He wrote a great deal about the Tarot.
A. E. Waite (1857-1942), the English Christian occult philosopher, broke from the
Order of the Golden Dawn and founded his own school of mystical thought.
Working with the artist Pamela Coleman Smith - who was also a member of The
Order of the Golden Dawn - Waite created a "rectified" deck featuring images and
scenery on all the cards, Minor as well as Major Arcana. They produced the 78
card deck that we use today.
The tarot has been studied by many adepts and has been shown to be directly
relating to the Qabalah. The Order of the Golden Dawn in 1890 made a deck for its
members, utilizing the knowledge of the Qabalah in its symbolism. This was not
the first deck, but the research done by the golden dawn and its members helped
shape the views of the Tarot and the western philosophies of the mysteries.
Together, they produced the 78 card deck that we use today. The tarot has been
studied by many adepts and has been shown to be directly relating to the Qabalah.
Aleister Crowley, too, founded his own occult school, the Ordo Templi Orientis,
which had to do, among other things, sex magic. Working with Freida Harris, he
created the colorful Book of Thoth Tarot. He considered identifying with each card
more important than trying to guess about origins.
Paul Foster Case, who formed the Builders Adytum, thought the Tarot from
Morocco. According to him, 11th century philosophers designed it to both to
preserve knowledge after the Alexandrian libraries were burned down and to
furnish a universal language. He, too, designed a deck, a black and white one. It
strongly resembles Waite's.
Other theories: the cards are allegories of Sufi masters; Grail legend depictions; the
Indian game Chaturanga, a forerunner of chess; Indian holy texts; Gypsy imports;
Hebrew lore; Greek philosophy; ancestors of Mesopotamian copper cylinders;
symbols handed down from prehistoric oral stories; symbols from ancient Central
American Indian cultures; wisdom of prehistoric matriarchal cultures; teaching
aids of the Wilderness, a persecuted Christian sect; surviving lore of the Order of
Knights Templar, founded in 1188 to protect pilgrims and guard the ways to the
Holy Land; or creations of 13th century alchemists -and the Tarot is indeed loaded
with alchemical imagery.
Speculation aside, we don't know, and perhaps will never know, what the first
Tarot cards looked like. Nor do we know where they came from or who created
them. We don't even know how many were contained in a deck. Although it has
frustrated Tarot experts and inspired countless origin theories, So many beautiful
things emerge from drab beginnings that not knowing makes room for fantasies in
which bold spirits paint those first wonderful images in an ecstasy of creative
awakening.
However they came to be, the images of Tarot, like all true symbols, re-sound
spontaneous self-expressions from the psyche's deepest springs; and for that reason
they hold up magic mirrors to whatever reactions we bring them. Like all authentic
artistic creations, Tarots are ultimately a mystery and will remain so.
Being Psychic
Being psychic is no different than anything else it takes practice. When I work in a
tool shop I am trained in three things three different jobs the fourth comes easy
then the fifth I work out all by myself.
As children we learn the rules of language we are given individual words which
later, without apparent training or instruction we manage to combine together to
create sentences.
We learn this by observing and listening to others

Being psychic is no different it takes practice observation and just enough
diligence to see it through long enough to get some results. All this of course is
made easier by the fact that you are already psychic.
Every book on the subject every lecture I’ve attended and every movie I’ve seen
all allude to the fact that everybody is psychic we all have some innate abilities we
appear to be born with them.
Many books and internet sites have standard lists of things that might tell you
whether or not your psychic like knowing when the phone is going to ring or
thinking of friend and that person contacts you out of the blue.
There may be a fundamental problem with this line of thinking that actually goes
some way to inhibiting your real psychic potential. Left alone these things are great
but leaving them implies that you don’t want to or don’t need to do any extra
training. That you don’t need to grow and expand that you don’t desire any
advanced level of psychic or PSI abilities.
I’m sure that you do if you’ve read more than two books on ESP or personal
development then there is a very good chance that you want to grow step out from
the norm and develop your abilities beyond potential and into something much
more concrete.
This desire may be entirely personal you might not want to be the next Uri Geller
or Doris Stokes you may want nothing more than to know that what you are
receiving is fundamentally sound and not ambiguous. You may never want to
amaze your friends at parties you might want only to give correct and reassuring
advice to loved ones but advice they know they can rely on as correct. Information
from a real extra sensory source and not just glib sayings pulled fro the air because
it sounds appropriate at the time. Information that is personal correct and means
something to them.
Whatever your personal reason the point is and I cannot stress this enough, you
need to train and practice. That’s what this book is all about becoming a good
accurate psychic.
Regardless of the tools you use be they Tarot cards tea leaves, psychometrics,
chicken entrails or pure readings this program is designed to make you a better
psychic a deeper person and a lot more accurate in your readings even predictions.
Whether you use this knowledge for personal peace and wellbeing or want to reach
the standard of a professional psychic is irrelevant
You will need to gather around you people circumstances and information that
lends itself to your improvement and development. Keep away from negative or
skeptical influences. This is not a cope out later we will deal with skeptics, but for
the moment and the initial part of your training try to keep positive things ideas
and thoughts around yourself.
The Source
Information Where Is It From
Where does information come from the spirit world, the universal mind or
consciousness, is there a secret brotherhood of ascended master who pass on tidbits
of knowledge to the initiated? Perhaps one of a thousand possibilities ranging from
aliens hovering over the earth in invisible ships to psychic still living in Atlantis or
Argosy have found their way to your ears
Universal Concept of Preordination

In a nutshell all things are pre-ordained our life is mapped out by cosmic forces
beyond our control but it actually goes deeper than that.
This is the idea that everything in the universe works via a system a system that
through copious amounts of research understanding and science can be understood.
By understanding the rules of the universe one is able to predict with some degree
of accuracy what might happen next. For example you are standing on the side of
the road and you see two cars swerving toward each other. You as the observer can
easily predict that the two vehicles will hit and that somebody is going to be badly
hurt.
You are able to make this prediction based on the science and observation. Your
knowledge of science tells you that influences like speed, gravity and inertia will
result in a loud bang along with a huge amount of mayhem for everybody
involved. Not only that you can observe the plainly obvious.
Astrology uses the same idea the universe is ordered, you can’t break the cosmic
rules 1 plus 2 will always equal 3 therefore if a certain planetary alignment is
occurring then such and such will be the result. (This is a basic description it’s all
actually extremely complicated and scientific but the basic idea is the same)
The Synchronistic Universe
This is the idea that there is a universal thread a form of energy that connects
everything in the universe to every other thing in the universe. Most standard
forms of older style fortune telling rely on this theory that everything in some way
or other effects to some degree everything else. For example your life and the way
you live it along with the things you do and the people you interact with will have
some effect however small on the random fall of your tea leaves or what you did
last week will influence the order that your tarot cards will be shuffled.
The universal trace theory
The basic idea is that all things leave a trace of themselves. This can be viewed in a
purely scientific sense (the modern science of forensics) or in the higher psychic
sense such as when using psychometry. Everything you do everybody you meet
everywhere you go and every thought you have leaves a trace. Generally we think
of this as a small minute infinitesimal trace of energy, which can be picked up and
translated by someone who is sensitive enough.
Information how we receive it
There are standard tried and true methods that Im sure many people will know or at
least know of
Many people unconsciously choose methods that directly relate to their personal
belief system concerning the origin of the information they receive.
How we receive information is not actually connected to where we believe it is
coming from for example a person who believes in the spirit world and
communication with those who have passed on to the nether plain will, more often
than not use the tools of clairvoyance clairaudience or clairsentience or a
combination of all three.
Another individual let’s say one who believes in pure PSI might use psychometric
techniques or psychic readings as their tool.
Further a psychic who prescribes to the universal concept of preordination might

favor the Tarot cards or astrology.
Knowing the Right Tools
There is an underlying fundamental problem with the nature of the work of many
beginning psychics. That knowing the true nature of the tools being used Telepathy
for example is the transference of thought from one mind to another by its very
nature it implies two minds working in unison or being temporarily connected or
both tuned to the same channel.
You couldn’t take a deck of cards turn them over and try to hope to tell what each
card was without looking by using the rules and principles of telepathy. Many a
novice tries this. Basically it boils down to trying to guess what the next card is it
would be telepathy when and if another person was viewing the cards and you tried
to pick up on the thoughts of that person.

With triangles we are reading a group of cards or the symbols within the group and
how they are connected to each other for example depending on what appears or
falls in the travel position there may be an effect on either the health positions the
social positions or in some cases both.
The ned to travel over seas or away may effect other people in the clients life. Or
our growth as a person will have an effect on our health.
1. TRAVEL fool
2. HEALTH eight of wands
3. SOCIAL queen of wands
Let’s say the cards fall as above when reading the triangle I may assume that the
clients journey through life is about to change or reach some sort of peak due to the
fact that the fool has appeared here I can tell from the eight of wands that there are
some physical barriers to overcome before this can be achieved and that these
changes will almost certainly have some effect on an important female such as a
mother or older sister or older female friend.
This method will take some practice don’t be a afraid of it however as it is an

important way to read or intuitively receive more information.

There are 22 Major Arcana or Trumps. These cards are thought to represent the
higher parts of our consciousness and have been linked with the Archetypes
proposed by Jung, the 22 Letters of the Hebrew Alphabet, The paths of the Tree of
Life, The I Ching and the Runes among other things.
The Court Cards represent other people in our lives or aspects of our own
personality. The Minor Arcane are concerned with the everyday, mundane affairs
of day to day living such as work, school, the home and relationships. The Minors
consist of four suits: Wands, Cups, Swords and Pentacles. In various decks these
suits might be renamed, but they are usually recognizable.
Some of the more common alternate names are:
Wands - Staves
Cups - Vessels, Bowls
Swords -Crystals
Pentacles - Disks, Coins
SUITS
Wands:
Wands can be described as the suit having to do with energy, creativity,
communication, action, passion, self-improvement, self-development, spirituality
and enterprise. If you look at the suit of Wands in most decks you notice that most
of the cards show some type of action in progress, or someone who appears to be
reviewing or enjoying the results obtained from a recently completed action.
Action and energy are two key words to this suit. Wands are usually associated
with the element of fire. If you know a little of astrology, think of the personality
attributes of the fire signs, the forceful Aries, the flamboyant Leo and the honest
and enthusiastic Sagittarius.
Additional attributes include:
Direction - South
Season - Spring (Vernal Equinox)
Masculine/Feminine - Masculine
Cups:
Cups are associated with the emotions, the subconscious, relationships and
intuitive or psychic abilities. Most decks try to convey emotions in this suit;
happiness, love, boredom, disappointment and dejection are usually represented
and easily identified. This suit is associated with the element of water and like
water can be calm and serene, or turbulent and rough. Astrologically, the nurturing
Cancer personality, the depth of the Scorpio and the intuitive, dreamy Pisces could
be applied.
Additional attributes:
Direction - East
Season - Summer (Summer Solstice)
Masculine/Feminine - Feminine
Swords:
Swords are the suit of mental activity, rational thinking, decisions, and intellectual
pursuit. Because much of the turmoil in our lives can be attributed to our thoughts,
this suit often depicts conflict and struggle as well. Looking at this suit in most
decks, one finds some of the more negative cards depicting nightmares, craftiness,
pain and restriction. Swords are usually associated with the element of air.
Astrologically one can think of the Libran desire for balance, the contradictions
inherent in the Aquarian personality, and the Gemini's thirst for intellectual
stimulation.
Direction - West
Season - Autumn (Autumnal Equinox)
Masculine/Feminine - Masculine
Pentacles:
Pentacles are the suit associated with work, money, crafts, the home, the physical
body. Looking at this suit, one sees craftsman at work, business being conducted,
the physical comfort and security of having material things and the physical
discomfort and pain of not having them. Pentacles are associated with the element
earth. Astrologically one can think of Taurean practicality and love of home, the
Capricorn's financial and business prowess and the Virgo's industry, skill and
productivity.
Direction - South
Season - Winter (Winter Solstice)
Masculine/Feminine - Feminine
Swords and Wands are usually associated with Air and Fire respectively, however
some writers have reversed these attributions assigning Fire to Swords and Air to
Wands. Emily Peach does this in "The Tarot Workbook" and Ellen Cannon Reed
does as well in her deck ,"The Witches Tarot" and her two books "The Goddess
and the Tree" and "The Witches Tarot". Arguments can be made for both points of
view and you should chose whichever attributions seems to fit best to you. The
same is true of the directions assigned. An alternative system for directions taken
from Astrology is: Wands - East, Cups - North, Swords West and Earth - South.
COLOR CHART
RED - Red governs active sexual life and denser, earthly activities. Red is active,
energetic and determined.
GREEN - The color of growth, expansion, joy, clarity and mental stimulation.
BLUE - Implies a cooling, calming and harmonious situation. Blue is found in the
higher frequencies.
ORANGE - The gentle warming effects of orange encourage calmness, wellbeing,
and social graces. A dominance of orange indicates a social person or situation.
YELLOW - The sunny, joyful color of strength, enthusiasm, confidence, creativity,
discipline, wisdom, logic, and the ability to overcome ignorance and evil.
VIOLET - A spiritual color which indicates understanding, stability, harmony and
royalty.
BROWN - Earthy, practical solutions to life's problems.
BLACK - The absence of light or color indicates mystery, death, rapid change and
negativity.
WHITE - Includes all of the colors of the light spectrum. It represents perfection,
purity, spirituality, cleanliness, and all things sacred.
GREY - Unclear intentions, neutrality, lack of movement, and dark thoughts.
Timing Events in Tarot Readings

The combination of Tarot and Astrology can allow the Reader to pinpoint almost
any day of the year when making a prediction. The twelve zodiac cards in the
Major Arcana are associated with thirty days, while the Minor Cards 2-10
represent ten days each. The Knight, Queen and Prince of each element also
represent 30 days, but, there is a 10 day overlap between them and the zodiac
signs.

It is the period of time determined by the revolution of the equinoxes, or the space
to time wherein the stars and constellations return to their former places in respect
to the equinoxes by means of a constant precession. The equinoxes moving
backwards or westwards, meet the Sun constantly earlier. In the time of the oldest
Greek observations, the equinoctial points were in the first stars of Aries and Libra
respectively; they are now in Pisces and Virgo. When these names were given, the
Sun entered Aries at the Vernal Equinox, and Sign and constellation coincided;
now they do not, so do not be confused by our still calling the first Sign of spring
Aries, although the Sun is now really at such time in Pisces; every 2160 years, the
Sign is changed. Precedent to Aries, the Sun at the Vernal Equinox
Fine-Tuning your Predictions
If the reading points to an event happening in the next month, it is possible to
narrow down the period to approximately seven days. For this, we use the Aces.
Knowledge of the Moon Phases is a useful skill:
Ace Disks
First Quarter
Ace of Cups
2nd Quarter
Ace of Swords
3rd Quarter
Ace of Wands
4th Quarter
Determine the Day
To determine the day, simply look to see if one of the planetary cards is
significant:
Sunday
Sun, Sun
Monday
Moon, High Priestess
Tuesday
Mars, Tower
Wednesday
Mercury, Magus
Thursday
Jupiter, Fortune
Friday
Venus, Empress
Saturday
Saturn, Universe
The divinatory meanings of the cards must be ignored; otherwise Tuesdays will
always be disastrous... Conversely, if the reading suggests events are not
particularly predictable, we might see the Fool, the Hanged Man or Judgment cards
in the “Outcome” position of a Spread.
Determining the Hour

Need more precision than a day? The traditional system of planetary hours comes
to the rescue.

Armed with this information, you have the ability to make predictions as
accurately as required, and depending on the situation.
ACES
The suit of Wands represents creative energy, new enterprises and new inspiration.
Aces represent the energy of each suit in its purest and most concentrated form.
They also represent beginnings, ideas, commencement, opportunity, a fresh start,
inspiration, a gift.
Ace of Wands
The Ace of Wands in the Rider-Waite deck features a wooden club with little
sprouting sprigs symbolizing power and brute force. Those little sprigs represent
growth and expansion. In time the wooden clubs became bejeweled royal scepters.
Magicians use wands in their magic acts, fairies spread fairy dust with their wands
and generals carry swagger sticks on the battlefield as they strut around with an
insolent air. All of these wands symbolize power, direction and the promise of
fulfillment.
Ace of Cups
The suit of Cups represents love, passion and intense feelings. More abstract
symbolism offers choices, artistic expression and sensuality.
The Ace of Cups with a streaming fountain of water spilling over into a pond
signifies the outpouring and circulation of divine love and energy. Those little
droplets form the letter "yod" in the Hebrew alphabet and symbolize showered
blessings. Pools of water found throughout tarot imagery represent the flow of
spiritual substance. Water is life giving and sooths the body and soul. Since we
cannot see into deep waters we cannot know the mysteries that lie beneath.
Ace of Pentacles
Pentacles represent enterprise, money and the actual manifestation of the all the
other suits. Spiritually, the suit of Pentacles reveals how the mind sets things into
action and ultimately manifests into reality.
The Ace of Pentacles offers the opportunity for growth and accomplishment. The
garden gate beyond the lush garden lures us into the land of clarity,
accomplishment and potential for abundance. Spiritually the card reveals a new
path.
Ace of Swords
Swords depict a double-edged meaning. The negative side has, in the past, been
presented as warlike. However, more positive revelations are gained from this suit.
Swords now represent decisive action, strength, resolve, logic and rationality.
Swords may also cut through the illusions and stuff we accumulate. Spiritually we
may consider how one might resolve challenging situations.
The Ace of Swords presents the opportunity to find clarity, the truth or any of the
above decisive actions. The metal sword in ancient times was thought to ward off
evil. The sword is still used by English royalty to bestow knighthood by tapping a
sword on each shoulder as part of a ceremony that rewards accomplished people.
Reversal of Aces
There at least a dozen ways to interpret a reversal. Some readers reverse the
meaning of a card, while others find alternative meanings that relate to the query.
We use the idea that a reversal means the opposite not necessarily the negative
Twos
Twos represent duality, balance, choices, interaction, polarity, developing.
Two of Wands A choice or balance in applying energy. The first steps have been
completed, and one must decide where to apply energy from this point on Control.
Two of Cups Emotional interactions. Balance between opposites Love.
Two of Swords Peace (hard won) a respite from conflict, a tenuous balance

COURT CARDS
The most troublesome cards in the deck are the court cards. They are very hard to
read in the context of a spread. For example, if you get the Queen of Cups in the
"Health" position in a spread, what does that mean? (How would you read this?
Alternative medicine, likely dispensed by a new, female healer that there Querent
is going to or should go to). we'll be going through each court card in its own
thread.
We can all get talking about these cards and find a way to solidify them in our
minds! So, first, what are court cards? There are four, and even these are
confusing. Rider-Waite style, they are Pages, Knights, Queens, Kings. Crowley
style, they are Princesses, Princes, Queens, Knights.
Does this make a difference? Some say yes, very much so. They argue that in
Crowley, there are an equal number of male/females, and that the seated Queen
indicates the "Goddess power" where as the active Knight indicates the "God"
power. Unlike the more hierarchical situation in the Rider-Waite deck where you
have a seated King ruling at the top, unequal with the seated queen and unmoving
compared to the knight he commands.
In either case, certain things we need to assume.
1) Court cards almost always indicate people. Someone in the Querent's life (past
or present), about to come into the Querent's life or the Querent themselves.
2) Yes, Court cards can be symbolic. For example, Pages can indicate a "message,"
Knights a "movement" or a "trip." It depends on the reading and reader. But in
most cases, the cards are likely to be people, not symbols.
3) Zodiac symbols (designations) are a good way to tell what kind of person each
court card is. For example, that the Queen of Wands is a Leo. But which card is
which Zodiac symbol can differ from deck to deck. So examine images carefully to
see which card is which Zodiac sign in your particular deck. The pentacle court
card which has a field of wheat in it (for example) is undoubtedly Virgo, whether it
is King, Queen or Knight.

THE CARDS
The Magician in the Tarot and Magick
The symbolic images of the Magician in the Tarot decks explain the essence of
magick and the required attitude of its practicioners
This card has the number 1, because it is the card of beginnings and everything you
need for a good start: self-confidence, creativity, determination, willpower, self-
control, skill, craft, purposeful action, energy, activity and vitality. It is the drive to
choose your own direction, to realize your Self. Ofcourse it is also the card of
magick and the magician him-or herself, communicating between heaven and
earth, thus creating and materializing new possibilities.
Rider-Waite Tarot Scapini Tarot
In the Rider-Waite Tarot we see a person dressed in white: his actions are pure
(meaning in harmony with himself and beneficial to the world). The white band
around his head shows that he has thought over his actions first and approved them
to serve his higher self. The red cloth he wears depicts the passion and desire he
puts into his magick. Red is the color of Aries and the planet Mars, saying: "I want
this and I want it now." With his right raised arm he holds a white wand of pure
creative light and through his left downward arm he channels these energies to
earth. Thus he symbolizes the coming together of macrocosmos and microcosmos
through creativity and the love and truth of the open heart, since the center of his
left and right arm is between the 5th chakra (throat-chakra, creativity and speech)
and the 4th chakra (heart-chakra, unconditional love). Above his head lies the
lemniscate, symbol of infinity, transformation and high spiritual power.
On the table lie the attributes for successful magick
The sword symbolizes mental power by single-pointed thought and focus.
The wand points at the willpower, determination and energy necessary to create
something new.
The cup tells that he has a passionate desire to perform his magick, and that he
feels love and humility towards the laws of nature.
The disk reveals that he is skilled in his magick, and that the combination of
concentrated thought, desire, willpower and skill will lead to successful magick.
The background of the card is yellow; the color of the god and planet Mercury:
thinking, communicating, traveling between the heavenly world of possibilities and
the earthly world of materialization, and also traveling between our personality and
our soul-self. The red roses symbolize passionate love. The white lilies, flowers of
transformation, point at pure love.
Tarot de Marseilles Thoth Tarot
In both the medieval Scapini Tarot and the old Tarot de Marseilles the magician
wears a big hat, emphasizing the importance of focused thought and knowledge.
He works on a highly instable table with 3 legs, what means that he changes
probabilities into a solid physical reality. In the Scapini Tarot the magician stands
on the skin of a crocodile. The crocodile is a symbol of vision and creative
expression (in ancient Egypt they were considered to be oracles), as well as a
symbol of instinctive nature (the beast within) mastered by the magician. The
figure in Scapini's Tarot is mostly dressed in the red of deep emotional desire and
dedication towards his magick; the magician of the Tarot de Marseilles has reached
more balance between the active, male (red) part of his personality and the
receptive, female (blue) part of himself together with a mature portion of thinking
(yellow).
In Crowleys Thoth Tarot the magician wears nothing at all: he is the ever-young,
joyful, open and spontaneous Mercury, who believes that everything is possible.
He has become a self-confident juggler, reaching the skies and creating himself a
new world. Crowley writes that Mercury is the infinite creation. The magical wand
behind Mercury is surrounded by the two snakes of life (male) and death (female).
They have taken the place of the lemniscate in the Rider-Waite Tarot.
THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE

Basic Card Symbols
A wheel turning clockwise with rising/falling figures or beasts on it. Waite also
includes a good many hebrew letters and alchemical symbols. Often there is a
sphinx perched atop the wheel.
Basic Tarot Story

From out of hiding comes the Fool, into the sunlight, as if being pulled up from
some low, dark point on a wheel. It is time for a change. Staff in hand, he heads
back out into the world, expecting nothing. But, strangely, things seem to happen
to him as the hours go by, good things. Wandering by water wheel a woman offers
him a drink in a golden chalice, and then urges him to keep the cup, just because
she likes him; as he wanders by a windmill, he stops to watch a young man
swinging a sword; when he expresses his admiration of the weapon, the young man
presses it into his hand, insisting that he take it.
Finally, when he comes upon a rich merchant, sitting in a wagon, right over one of
the wheels, the man hands him a bag of money. "I like giving away money,"
explains the Merchant, "and I decided, just randomly, that the tenth person who
walked past me today would get this money. You're the tenth." The Fool hardly
thought he could still be surprised, but he is. It is as if everything good that he ever
did in his life is being paid back to him, three-fold. All luck this day is his.
Basic Tarot Meaning
With Jupiter as its ruling planet, the Wheel of Fortune is all about big things, luck,
change, fortune. Almost always good fortune. Almost every definition of this card
indicates abundance, happiness, elevation, luck. A change that just happens, and
brings with it great joy.
As much as the Tarot is about what a Querent can do to change their life or self,
there are cards that admit that sometimes you just get lucky. This card can mean
movement, change and evolution, but its primary meaning always seems to say
that such changes will seem to come out of the blue, a stroke of good, unexpected
fortune. The person you're reading for is going to get that money, that job, that
promotion, that special person, that break they've been waiting for. Call it Karmic
payback for all the good things they've done in life, destiny or just luck, but
whatever lotteries are out there, large or small, they've just won one.
NOTES
Reading for Yourself
Many Tarot books and readers warn against reading for yourself. The common
thread in this argument is that it is difficult to be objective and that one tends to see
what one wants to see rather than what is really there. That is a real danger,
however reading for yourself can be most helpful, particular in seeing options that
you might not have come to on your own. You have to keep all possible meanings
in mind when reading for yourself and then decide which one fits best realistically,
not hopefully. Reading for yourself can help you change the outcome of a
situation, by showing you where things are headed presently and what you can do
to change them.
Daily Readings
Try to read for myself everyday. It gives me an idea of where the day is headed
and how things are going with me on an intellectual, physical and spiritual level.
Mind, Body, Spirit
Spread three cards from left to right, with the first representing my mental state,
the second my physical state and the third my spiritual state.
Past, Present, Future
Spread three cards from left to right with the first representing the recent past or
events that have lead up to the present, the second card representing today, and the
third card representing the near future. sometimes readers use this spread in
reference to a problem they may be working on or a project or situation they are
dealing with, whether at work or at home. It is short and to the point. If you feel I
need additional information, just deal more cards on the cards to clarify the one
that is giving me difficulty. For both spreads you should also look at the
undercurrent card.
Tarot Exercise
All readers have cards they dislike (some of them are fives).
This exercise helps one see the full potential in every card. Chose the 3 cards from
the deck you dislike the most. Now brainstorm and come up with five good or
positive things about each card. This is pretty difficult, but you might be surprised
at the things you come up with. The first few are fairly easy. In the Waite-Smith 5
of cups for example, there are still two cups left standing, all is not lost; the person
in the card has a warm cloak and good solid shoes, which seems to say his physical
needs are taken care of; there is "water under a bridge", which suggests that what’s
done is done and that he should let go, pick up his two remaining cups and get on
with his life.
Symbols
Tarot relies heavily on symbolism. Esoteric decks, such as Thoth and to a lessor
extent, the Waite-Smith make use of every symbol on every card. This is why it is
always recommend you purchase the book written specifically for your deck if one
is available. It will usually explain the designer's use of symbolism in the deck. A
dictionary of symbols is also an excellent tool for discerning deeper meanings in
the cards. It is especially useful for decks which have no separate book available.
For an example where having the book enhances the interpretation, let's look at the
six of wands in "The Witches Tarot" The card shows a woman kneeling in a forest
clearing with six branches on the ground before her in two horizontal groups of
three. If you look in the booklet that comes with the deck you find "Illumination,
realization of bigger things...", but if you look in Reed's book "The Witches Tarot:
The Witches Cabala Two" you read that the branches are laid in the I-Ching
hexagram Ch'ien Ch'ien. This gives you further insight into what the designer was
trying to convey. Using the Waite-Smith deck, let's examine the same card. We see
a man on a horse carrying a staff with a laurel wreath on top. If we look up laurel
in a dictionary of symbols we find "Triumph, victory", so even if did not have
Waite's book we could get an idea of what the card meant from the symbolism
augmented by the picture, which also suggests a triumphant march. If we were not
sure of the type of wreath, and looked up the word "wreath", we find "..glory,
victory, supremacy..." which still conveys the meaning. If you look in the
bibliography of most modern Tarot books, you will probably find at least one
dictionary of symbols listed. They are especially useful for understanding cards
that you have difficulty with.
Shuffling
To some this seems very elementary, In my opinion, there is no right or wrong way
to shuffle. the important thing is to be calm, keep your question in mind, and use
whatever method you normally use to mix the deck. Some readers feel Tarot cards
should never be shuffled per se, but rather mixed by holding the deck in one hand
and pulling cards from various parts of the deck and re-inserting them with the
other over and over until you feel they are well mixed. Personally I shuffle them
like a poker deck, 3 or more times. Why 3? I don't know, it just seems like a good
minimum. I usually shuffle 4-5 times, but never less than 3. If the deck is new, I
shuffle at least 11 times. I read somewhere that statistically speaking, it takes 11
shuffles to get a 78 card deck in random order. One day when I'm really bored, I’ll
do the math for myself and verify this. If you don't use reversals, you should be
careful to keep the cards all in the same direction. This is difficult with some
decks, because it is impossible to tell the direction from the back. Getting a few
cards reversed is not a tragedy, just flip them over. If you do like to use reversals,
turn one pile of the deck over once or twice while shuffling.
Cutting the deck

I have read many different ways to cut the deck. The only one I follow is to cut
with your left hand. I deal with my right hand, so I feel cutting with the left gives
the deal some balance. I also cut into 3 piles. The most common admonition is to
cut with the left hand into 3 piles to the left. It works for me, but I don't doubt some
other method would work as well, this is just the way I learned.
Large cards such as Thoth, Rohrig and Voyager present problems to those with
smaller hands. You can try shuffling them from the sides, vice the long way. You
can also try swishing them around on a table (make sure it is clean <G>), or on
your bed. Like poker cards, Tarot cards wear with time. I still have my first
Motherpeace deck and while it is a little "thick", I have not been able to bring
myself to part with it. If you read for others though, you probably will not make a
good impression with a deck so worn and fat that it is difficult to shuffle. My old
friend is reserved for my personal use only.
Another question that comes up is whether to deal the cards face up or face down. I
deal face up, because I like to get a feel for the spread as a whole, but some people
find it distracting. They feel that they start forming impressions before they have
the whole spread dealt. Dealing face down avoids this. I think that we sometimes
get too tied up in the ritual and "doing things right" and forget that Tarot should be
a relaxing, enlightening experience, vice a nervous ordeal because we are trying to
shuffle in a way we are not familiar with, trying to remember the right way to cut,
the proper invocation etc. Relax, get the cards well mixed and read.
Directions
I am listing directional attributes of the suits by various authors. You should chose
one that supports your personal beliefs or which feels right to you.
Wands = South, Cups = West, Swords = East, Pentacles = North(Vicki Noble,
"Mother peace Tarot", Mary Greer "Tarot for Yourself", Connelly,"Tarot a New
handbook for the Apprentice", Jana Riley "The Tarot handbook")
Wands = East, Cups = North, Swords = West, Pentacles = South
Wands = South, Cups = West, Swords = East, Pentacles = North (Witchcraft)
Wands = East, Cups = North, Swords = West, Pentacles = South (Astrology)(Gail
Fairfield, "Choice Centered Tarot" Surprisingly, these were the only lists I could
find. I thought some of the older esotericists (Papus, et al) would have something
since they tended to like lists of attributes, but I didn't find anything :(
Personality and Soul Cards
Contrary to popular belief, these concepts were not developed by Mary Greer, but
by Arrien Angeles in "The Tarot Handbook", a book which does not get the credit
it is due in my opinion. She also presents several similar concepts in the book. such
as growth cards and growth cycles. Personality Card - this card represents your
expression in the outer world, your talents, gifts, resources and how others see you.
To find this card, add your birth day, month and year together. Example: Sept 9th,
1956 = 9 + 9 + 1956 = 1974 then add the digits of the result together - 1 + 9 + 7 +
4 = 21. This is your personality card. If it is a double digit reduce it again: 2 + 1 +
3. This is your soul/spiritual card. The soul card represents the deepest core of who
you are. It provides an internal base of energy and natural resource for you to draw
upon for your personality expression. If the first result is more than 21 like mine:
June 6th, 1956 - 6 + 6 + 1956 = 1968, 1 + 9 + 6 + 8 = 24 (note this is more than
21), reduce it again, 2 + 4 = 6. This both my personality and soul card.
First Impressions
When laying down a spread, it is useful to take a few moments to look at the
spread as a whole, before reading individual cards. Is there a preponderance of one
suit? Are there several Major Arcana, or several Court Cards? These are
indications that you should keep in mind when doing the reading. They are often
clues as to what is going on. For example, lets say the question concerns ones love
life. You throw the spread and see there are lots of pentacles, but not a cup in sight.
What does this mean? It could mean that material security is a key issue in the
relationship right then. It could also mean that the person should be focusing on
financial matters right now, rather than the relationship. Perhaps worrying about
the relationship has led to them doing poorly at work, or to spending more than
they can afford to keep the other person happy. Perhaps they are telling you that
the issue is love, but the thing that is really worrying them is money. Tarot
sometimes tells us what we need to know vice what we want to know. You might
want to ask questions to explore these issues during the reading.
Last Impressions
When I have finished interpreting each card in a spread, I like to sum up the
reading. I just review the overall reading, pointing out the key points we covered. I
always try to leave a reading on a high point. Even if the reading conveys bad
news, I try to give the querent the tools to change events, based on the reading. A
reading should be empowering for the querent, rather than a recital of things that
may happen in the future. The key words are =may happen=. We have the power to
influence and change the future.
Tarot Exercise
Do the same exercise as yesterday, adding the threes and making a third column
for the future. Someone here in the forum once recommended that you do all
readings aloud, even those done for yourself. I think that is an excellent suggestion
and recommend you do the exercises aloud as well. It is one thing to recognize the
meaning of a card in your mind and an entirely different thing to articulate that
meaning to another.
Reversals
In case you haven't noticed, I do not use reversals, however many people do. You
can take a book and learn it's interpretations of reversals or you can take an easier
approach and chose one of the methods of reading them listed below:
1. A block in the upright energy of the card
2. A delay
3. A subconscious wish or desire
4. A hidden or surreptitious energy
5. A weakened version of the upright meaning
The opposite of the upright meaning (this is the method most often seen in books,
however there are exceptions. Some cards have similar meanings whether upright
or reversed. Refer to the book for your deck when using this method to learn which
cards it does not apply to).
There are many other methods for reading them as well. The use of reversals is not
as prevalent as it once was. Many newer beginner books do not include them at all,
however you must do what you feel most comfortable with. Arguments can be
made for both sides. If you decide not to use them, bear in mind that each card has
a full spectrum of meanings. For example, the three of cups can mean merriment
and celebration, but carried to excess could mean drunkenness, or excessive
partying.
This is a reading method I learned from another reader. Whenever she does a
reading, she throws whatever spread she is going to use and then looks at the card
left on the bottom of the deck. She calls this card the undercurrent. The
undercurrent is what underlies the question. It is the atmosphere in which events
are taking place. For example if the querent had a question about a relationship and
the 4 of pentacles was on the bottom of the deck, it could be interpreted as
someone in the relationship not wanting to let go.
Perhaps for financial reasons (very common), for selfish reasons, or for security
reasons. It could be an unconscious or unexpressed desire which the querent
him/herself is not even aware of. Depending on the rest of the cards thrown, letting
go might be the best thing. I find the concept useful and use it in my daily readings.
Centering
Most readers do some type of centering exercise before doing a reading. These
exercises can be elaborate or very simple. The method I use is in the latter
category. Before doing a reading I always shuffle the deck. While shuffling I ask
God/Goddess to guide my words and allow me to assist the querent (or myself).
Some people like to create an atmosphere by lighting candles, burning incense or
doing a short meditation before reading. Whatever your belief system, it is best to
approach the cards from a feeling of calm, rather than in a harried, distracted way.
Pray, cast a circle, invoke the God/Goddess, meditate, do deep breathing exercises,
or do whatever it is you do to get in touch with your center.
Cycles
To me, nines represent the end of a cycle. An interesting idea involving cycles is
the Year card. Angeles Arriens first proposed this in her book "The Tarot
Handbook". Mary Greer describes it her book "Tarot for Yourself" and derived a
similar system of her own in "Tarot Constellations”. James Wanless describes it in
the booklet that comes with the Voyager deck. I will be using his method here. Per
Wanless, the year starts for you on your birthday. There are two year cards for
every year. One is the card that corresponds to your age. At birth you are The Fool.
At one you are The Magician. This cycle goes through 22 years and starts again, so
at ages 22, 44, and 66 you are The Fool. The other year card is calculated by
adding your birth date to the current year, then reduce, much like we did the
personality and soul cards. For my birthday, June 6th it would be 6 + 6 + 1995 =
2007 = 9,The Hermit.For me this is a Star/Hermit year.
Being Psychic
So what kind or type of psychic are you, there are different modes of PSI there are
those that listen those that see and those that feel most of us seem to be subtle
combinations of one or two, the trick is to work out and understand just what it is
you do to receive your information. Keeping in mind that all information already
exists, it’s how you tune into it that we are concerned with here.
From a medium ship or spiritual point of view there are three main types to be
aware of clairvoyant’s clairsentients and clairaudients, the mediums who see hear
or feel from the purely psychic we have similar ideas telepaths, empaths or seers.
As stated though most of us either wittingly or unwittingly use combinations of
these yet seem to favor one that’s why a seer for example may suddenly describe
an emotion o that a part of the body has a specific feeling or sensation during a
reading.
It is rare however that a medium will display true psionics or visa versa that a
psychic will suddenly start receiving information from the spirit world. Regardless
of the claims made by a few who say they can or are doing this. We are talking
about two opposing points of view. This I why some of us have trouble with the
term psychic medium, it doesn’t make sense similar to the term or expression army
intelligence, the two words don’t go together. They in a way cancel each other out.
Yes I know I’m going to get a truck load of argument about this and there is a
chance that even you dear reader as you peruse these words are having trouble with
the concept and I wouldn’t blame you because the use of the label psychic medium
is gaining ground it is in fact becoming quite popular to label oneself as a psychic
medium.
That doesn’t make it right however crossing over from one realm to the next
delineates your power even though some of these people might be very accurate in
their readings I think that they would find themselves being even more so if they
separated or tried to understand where the information they are receiving is coming
from. A true psychic would consciously or even sub-consciously looks to the spirit
world for answers is not doing himself or the spirit world any justice. You are
likely to become confused an loose detail flitting from one image to another very
fast like trying to read a book and watch television at the same time.
A telepath reads minds experience will show you whether or not you are a telepath
or if this is at least the main way you receive your information the detail will be
mainly bout the persons you are readings past and what’s going on in the present
about action and reactions and how they felt about certain things. Telepaths who
get images will be able to detail people quite well. You might for example describe
the physical appearance of a woman’s husband or partner quite accurately. And yet
get almost nothing of any significance about him as a person.
This is because the person you are reading for lacks an understanding of the person
as a person they are not giving too much thought to that person all thy have is the
picture and that’s what a telepath is picking up on.
Let’s say you have a combination of empathic and telepathic skills and you favor
psychometry as your mode of reading. You take the object from the client and feel
sadness while getting a picture of what could be the person’s husband, yet at the
same time you feel; that this person is perhaps too young or too old to actually be
the husband.
Confusion (this happens more than you think it does) you might be using the
wrong mode, psychometry might not be for you, event thought you may like it
very much and have a lot of fun with it you might be using the wrong mode, try
tarot or rune stones go to the chapter on tools and re read you may simply be using
the wrong tools.
Tools are an important part of the psychic and the mediums work you wouldn’t
expect a plumber to undo a pipe with a hammer. By the same token why would
somebody who communicates with spirits use a tarot deck? Perhaps it is possible
the medium is not actually a medium but a reader or strong telepath with above
average intuition and universal contact.
Tools such as tarot are primarily for universal contact readers they are intuitively in
touch with the cosmic flow of knowledge but have trouble translating this
knowledge into English remember English is what we speak the universe itself
doesn’t speak it it has its own emotive language that goes beyond mere words. In
fact the universe probably doesn’t have too many words to describe itself. The
reader’s job or task is to translate that information into words that we can all
understand. Words like love, hate togetherness describe states of being that are not
fully described by words alone. In fact our simple words do not do such ideas
justice at all. We are extremely limited by our words and language.
So are you a universal contact reader do you have greater success when reading
from objects or systems that enable you to translate your feelings or images into
words. Perhaps you’re an emotional reader an empath, empathic readers feel in two
basic ways physically and emotionally. If your body begins to feel the symptoms
of some illness or disease you are feeling or mimicking conditions that are within
the body of the person you are doing the reading for. Feelings such as sadness
happiness or loneliness mean you are feeling the emotions of the client and not just
sympathizing with them by sharing their emotions.
The Mind
Ever notice how one sock will disappear when you aren’t thinking about it, yet if
you think about it and keep an eye on your socks nothing happens
Here is a new concept that you will need to get a mental handle on something that
you will have to own as information and use and apply to the way you think about
the universe and the mind.
Lets take a long hard look at telepathy
For years the best way to describe the process of telepathy or mind to mind
communication was to imagine the mind or the brain as a radio receiver
transmitter.
The mind of the sender transmitted while the other brain acted as a receiver and
much talk was muttered about just being able to tune in to the brains or minds of
others and how on occasion we were able to do this accidentally or how after years
of knowing somebody such as a wife or husband or life long friend we were able to
tune in to their frequency on certain occasions of high stress or danger. There are
volumes written about t such things and anecdotal evidence in the form of stories
ad tall tales of people seeing or receiving information from others as a car crashed
or a boat sunk.
I call this emotional content but more on this later
There are problems with the idea of viewing the mind as a radio type receiver
sensing device even a highly advanced biological one firstly it separates your mind
from mine, it implies some sort of gulf or space between us, that our minds are not
connected and special techniques or considerations must be made to read or feel
each other’s thoughts.
Secondly it goes against the majority of universal occult or cosmic teachings. The
idea has always been prevalent that there is a universal mind stuff that permeates
the universe that fills every pore every gap every place in the cosmos the universe
or even the multi-verse depending on where you stand on such things.
So if this is true why would our minds be separated? The new view you will need
to take on board is that we are not radios but part of a vast computer network our
minds are all connected all of the time. Just as computers are in a network.
The idea of radio transmitters and senders has persisted for a long time, admittedly
there were no computers around when it was developed and first used as a
description.
Rethink it starting now, there is no turning on or off, there is no tuning in or out,
you are always connected to every other mind soul and being on the planet all you
have to do is accept this and things will begin to change in the way you do
telepathy experiments and in your results. You are already indelibly connected to
the mind you are attempting to read like a computer in a network or if you expand
the idea like computers all over the world that can talk to each other through the
internet.
Computers talk to each other in things called protocols bits of programming and
the like that enable them to chat and share information so instead of trying to
receiver or end try readjusting your vocabulary and share information this may
change the way you attempt to perform or experiment with telepathy
psychometrics and even spiritualism.
In the human mind these protocols are basically hidden from us, perhaps evolution
has taught us that being able to read all minds all the time is a dangerous and
difficult thing that some thoughts are best left alone kept private.
Over the years I and others have made certain observations that could very well be
the protocols that enable you to read the feeling of others and with some practice
there thoughts one of these is what I call emotional content.
If a thought or idea has emotional content then it becomes more than a thought.
Almost everyone who was ever interested in the occult, mind powers, spirits ESP
or anything even remotely connected to these things has at one time or another sat
down with friend and said “hey lets try it”
One person thinks of a number or draws a picture or selects a playing card and the
other person tries to receive it, draw it , or guess the card this usually fails to work,
we give up and do not pursue the idea any further generally we leave it to the more
talented like Geller or Stokes and are content to watch and be amazed. Yet think
for a moment about all the stories you’ve heard about all the times that something
akin to extra sensory feelings did work for you. Did those things and times have
emotional content for you?
One of the common examples of telepathy or extra knowledge is phone calls and
letters sometimes we know who is on the other end of the phone or who a letter is
from but why?
Who was the call from? was it an old friend that as soon as you heard there voice
you blurted out hey I was just thinking about you. That’s emotional content, a
playing card hasn’t got it but a call from your wife who is really pissed off because
your late for dinner has. There are other examples too ever noticed how you can
sense that your partner is upset mot only from micro expressions and body
language and because you know you’ve done something to upset them but also
because of that extra knowing that sneaking inner feeling that all is not right
because it has emotional content, anger fear and being emotionally hurt are
powerful activators and carriers of emotional content.
Here is another important factor, lack of preparation, if I sit you down and tell you
to guess the card I’m thinking of, you are mentally preparing you are trying by
mental force to read my mind or guess at what I’m thinking yet when an old friend
calls that you have been wondering about its natural you weren’t expecting it even
though that person was on your mind the last thing you were thinking of was the
phone or receiving a letter from them. No predetermined mind action no thought
about how it should go or what the results might be it just happened without any
interference from you. Basically without thinking about it, or perhaps by not
thinking about it the universe just went on its merry way and things happened.
In short this means not to worry about it and psychic stuff begins to occur all
around you as soon as you set your mind to it and try to test it use it or manipulate
it; it begins to fade becoming ambiguous and completely un-testable. So there has
to be some mind jump necessary to make all this information work for you and
improve your control over the psychic or intuitive part of your awareness more on
this later.
I’ve known many people who say that synchronicity works around them all the
time that whenever they go to the city they always know where the parking spaces
are or they can feel every time the phone rings who is on the other end yet as soon
as we try to quantify it get a handle on it count I or study it, it vanishes into thin
air.
For years this annoyed the hell out of me. Supposedly powerful or extra ordinary
spiritualists and psychics when called upon to demonstrate or offer proof failed
miserably. This is when I discovered that my own awareness suffered the same
fate. Your going to have to develop or train yourself to think about not thinking
about the results of any tests you do in this book.
The trick is to let the mind go free and do its own work without being concerned
with the results. Does this and the results will come, the hard part in all this is that
you do actually become concerned with the results you are going to keep a diary
and records of all the tests and experiments that you do. You are possibly going to
work with a partner who will also be concerned with what’s going on. you will
need to readjust your mind set to allow the universe to do the work for you while
you sit back as the observer and record the results unbiased and mentally
disconnected. Yet at the same time adding emotional content to those same
experiments sounds hard doesn’t it, and it is yet I think you’ll find the journey and
the training exercises well worth the effort as your personal results will surly
improve and in some cases rather dramatically.
The Skills
You’re Mind Set
Through this book I will be asking you to learn certain skills and try out new
abilities to do this successfully and to apply this to what we learned in the last
chapter you are first going to have to get a handle on the type of mind set you need
to develop for this type of training. As I said before for many people this is
something of a mental jump a quantum leap.
You must learn then forget.
Like any other skill or ability that you learn it must become sub mental that is
partly unconscious and partly conscious like driving a car or reading a book once
you know how to do it you forget the process and allow it to just happen. The
process or technique once learned and understood must fade from your mind and
you just operate in the new way or apply the new information without thinking
about it.
That’s easy to read yet hard to apply, primarily because we are dealing with
something of the mind an Ill be asking you to apply things like wish thought and
emotional content and value appropriation as techniques these take thought an
physical mental energy to apply so allowing them to just flow won’t be easy but
that’s what you’ll have to do.
Think about how you learnt to read (I know you can read because you are reading
this) first we learn individual letters and sounds then words then sentences and now
when you read the thought process behind the skill of reading does not become
apparent the last thing you think about is the form or creation of the individual
word all you really go KNOW the word.
The primary skills are still there so that if you come across a new word you can
learn it yet once learned the word becomes part of the inner core of your mind you
never have to think about a word you just know what it is.
The same applies to driving a skill that if done wrongly or done in a way that
negates or ignores the dangers of the road can get you in trouble and yet you drive
without seeming awareness of either your driving actions or the dangers. To signal
a corner your finger flips the indicator without any conscious thought your
awareness of the road tells you just how much pressure to apply to the brake when
the car in front of you slows down. Your foot does this automatically. You don’t
have to think about it years of training and driving experience just takes over.
This is what you will allow yourself to do once a technique is learned or a concept
grasped let go and allow it to do its work.
Value Elevation
In each of my courses I teach students the importance of adding value to the things
they are trying to read such as psychometric readings I explain it thusly
Lets suppose you are at home reading a book or watching TV a car pull into your
drive way you get up to investigate, see who it is and after analyzing the situation
your mind settles and forgets. What if you hear the constant pat of a ball hitting the
wall outside?
You go out look around and see someone playing hand ball against the wall you
settle back relax into the book or TV show and forget that is until you hear the
sound of breaking glass. Suddenly the sound has and elevated value it becomes
important.
In effect this is what you will be asking your mind to do when dealing with the
psychic or spiritual world you will be asking your inner perception to place certain
values on things that you are trying to deal with, read or understand.
Asking The Right Questions
So often in the world of the psyche we ask either the wrong questions or no
questions at all as you are going to see re-thinking the way you ask a question or
asking a totally different question can instantly change your mind set the way you
see things and just as quickly the results.
Experiment number one

Feeling your way
This first test is deceptively simple yet will teach you a lot and help you progress
once you understand the concepts involved.
It is a tracing experiment tracing involves the universal belief that everything

leaves a trace of itself somewhere somehow.
The whole science of forensics is based on this concept that every criminal leaves
behind some trace of himself (or herself).
The skill you will use in this experiment is best thought of as psychometry the
reading of such traces
Experiment Number Three

Asking the Right Questions
Here’s another way we can change our mind set make ourselves pay more attention
to what’s going on around us and as a result elevate the awareness we have. Try
asking different questions.
The following experiment forces us to do just that ask the right question Take two
pens crayons or other writing things that are exactly the same except for the color.
For example two pencils or even chalks from the same box, make sure they are the
same the only difference should be the color.
Now hold one look at it feel it and zone out to it for a few seconds and say
mentally this is red or blue or whatever color it is try to know the color on more
than one level. Try to feel it.
Now turn your back, your partner or learning buddy hands you one of the two
colors while you back is turned and hides the other. Turn around and try to guess
what color you have been given. Sounds easy and because we are only dealing
with two colors you should be right at least 50 percent of the time.
So now add a color turn your back and again try to guess which color you have
been handed. By rights you should guess correctly about 33 percent of the time. So
now add another color and keep adding colors until you are dealing with ten to
twelve different colors.
Anything above five pencils and your guessing will become just that guesses and
you will be wrong more often than you are right unless you re think the question
instead of asking what color is this try asking do I know this object.
Remember at the beginning of this experiment or exercise we only dealt with one
individual colored object lets assume that it was a red crayon as we added colors
we added to the difficulty of the exercise. Yet we had only left our tracing or
thoughts on the one object the red crayon it is the only one that has depth and
meaning for us, so why would we be dealing with the others.
In this exercise try to do nothing more than to separate your chosen crayon from
the others, ask do I know this object don’t ask is this red or is this blue or green,
ask instead ask is this my red crayon or do I know this object. So instead of trying
to determine ten objects all you are looking for is a feeling or a memory that you
know this one object out of all the others.
So if you have ten pencils you are only trying to determine which s yours. Asking a
different question not only causes you to think in a different way but also gives you
different answers do I know this color will give you some feeling of recognition,
no matter how small or finite that feeling seems follow it we are after all dealing
with small minute traces left on the pencil by your intense attention to it at the
beginning of the test.
You should practice doing this with all manner of things, leave traces on any group
of similar objects and try to determine which one you had.
Experiment Number Four

Tarot Cards
This next test is the same as the one above yet advances to a whole new level, we
are going to ask the question as before yet we are going to add new elements to our
abilities as we progress.
Separate the cards into suits now try to determine the suits separately from each
other. Take one suit hold each card individually saying this is a cup or sword
depending on the suit you choose. Now mix the whole deck together again and feel
your way through attempting to separate your chosen suit from all the others.

THEORIES ABOUT THE HISTORY OF TAROT
The origins of Tarot are somewhat ambiguous, the most widespread theories go to
ancient Egypt and Thoth and the connection to the ancient mystery school
teachings. There is a common myth that Tarot was brought to Europe by the
Gypsies.
Some believe that a form of Tarot goes back to ancient China.
I believe that all ancient civilizations developed their own systems of divination
based on the same symbolism and archetypes.
Tarot as we know it today is a collection of images and symbols from a wide
variety of cultures, from the ancient Greeks and Romans to the prehistoric Norse
peoples, from the ancient religions of India and Egypt to the medieval courts of
Italy and France.
The first clear reference that we have to Tarot cards is from a sermon that was
collected with many others about 1500 in Italy found in the Steele Manuscript. The
sermon is thought to date from about 1450 to 1470 and is a diatribe against games
of chance. It gives a detailed description of the Tarot trumps, not only numbering
them but naming them as well.
The oldest group of surviving Tarot cards, called Tarocchi in Italian, appears to
date from 1420 to 1450. Although the oldest cards that we have are hand-painted
ones, many scholars believe that printed or wood block cards predate the hand-
painted ones. However, as most early printed cards were much-used and of poor
quality, the earliest printed cards date from later than the hand-painted ones by
twenty to fifty years so that there is no physical evidence to show which type of
cards were the first to be created. By about 1500, Tarot decks had become fairly
standardized although there were individual differences from deck to deck even as
there are today.
Antoine Court de Gebelin, (1725-84), a French linguist, cleric, occultist, Mason,
member of the Lodge of the Philalethes, and author of the nine-volume work Le
Monde Primitif - was convinced of the mystical significance of the Tarot and fond
of Egyptian lore, this pre-Rosetta Stone. He believed the cards' birth place was
ancient Egypt, where they served as tools of initiation into the priesthood. For him,
the Tarot's Major Arcana was the Book of Thoth, a synthesis of all knowledge once
held in hieroglyphic form in burned Egyptian temples and libraries.
He claimed that it had escaped the destruction of the Library of Alexandria. At the
time he was writing this, the skill of reading hieroglyphics had been lost for almost
1200 years and there existed the widely held belief that they were magical symbols
concealing the lost knowledge of antiquity. He saw the Tarot as a contemporarily
available pictorial embodiment of this occult wisdom, a tangible link with the past.
A French man, (erroneously believed by some to have been barber, he merely had
lodgings above a barbers shop) named Alliette, writing under the pseudonym
Etteilla (his name spelled backwards), followed de Gebelin's lead and revised the
Tarot to comply with his own idiosyncratic idea of Egyptian mysticism. It has to be
said, his Tarot has had less influence upon subsequent designs than have his ideas.
In the mid 1850s a third Frenchman, Alphonse Louis Constant (originally a deacon
of the Catholic Church), began to publish occult works. For the purposes of
authorship he translated his name into Hebrew and wrote under the name Eliphas
Levi (he dropped the final Zahed?. His books contained Tarot references and
symbolism and it was he who first established the link between the Tarot and
cabala (or Qabalah).
He felt that the god Thoth-Hermes made the original deck. His theory contains
mathematical ideas similar to those of Pythagoras, whom he admired.
Eliphas Levi (real name: Alphonse Louis Constant, author of 'History of Magic|'),
1810-1875, was a French priest and Rosicruician who thought the Tarot the key to
the Bible, the Jewish Qabbalah, and all other ancient spiritual writings. He
attempted to link the 22 cards of the Major Arcana to the letters of the Hebrew
alphabet. He drew parallels between Tarot suits and the four letters of the
Tetragrammaton, YHVH ('Yahweh').
Late nineteenth-century Parisian author Paul Christian (Jean Baptiste Pitois) was a
follower of Levi's who believed that Major Arcana cards represent hieroglyphic
paintings found on columns in ancient Egyptian galleries. He also sought parallels
between the Tarot and Qabbalistic astrology.
Papus (Gerard Encausse, 1865-1916), a French doctor, philosopher, and
Theosophist, was another believer in the Tarot's Egyptian sources. Known for the
book 'The Tarot of the Bohemians', he believed the Tarot a bearer of ancient
designs inscribed in secret chambers below the Pyramids. The designs represented
initiation tests. When the temples were at risk, the priests transferred the mystical
designs to materials which later became a pack of cards. Papus, too, described a
link between Tarot and the Tetragrammaton. He also dealt with numerology and
the Tree of Life.
MacGregor (Samuel Liddell) Mathers lead the English Order of the Golden Dawn,
which was founded in 1886. He studied Jewish, Egyptian, Christian, and
alchemical mysticism. He wrote a great deal about the Tarot.
A. E. Waite (1857-1942), the English Christian occult philosopher, broke from the
Order of the Golden Dawn and founded his own school of mystical thought.
Working with the artist Pamela Coleman Smith - who was also a member of The
Order of the Golden Dawn - Waite created a "rectified" deck featuring images and
scenery on all the cards, Minor as well as Major Arcana. They produced the 78
card deck that we use today.
The tarot has been studied by many adepts and has been shown to be directly
relating to the Qabalah. The Order of the Golden Dawn in 1890 made a deck for its
members, utilizing the knowledge of the Qabalah in its symbolism. This was not
the first deck, but the research done by the golden dawn and its members helped
shape the views of the Tarot and the western philosophies of the mysteries.
Together, they produced the 78 card deck that we use today. The tarot has been
studied by many adepts and has been shown to be directly relating to the Qabalah.
Aleister Crowley, too, founded his own occult school, the Ordo Templi Orientis,
which had to do, among other things, sex magic. Working with Freida Harris, he
created the colorful Book of Thoth Tarot. He considered identifying with each card
more important than trying to guess about origins.
Paul Foster Case, who formed the Builders Adytum, thought the Tarot from
Morocco. According to him, 11th century philosophers designed it to both to
preserve knowledge after the Alexandrian libraries were burned down and to
furnish a universal language. He, too, designed a deck, a black and white one. It
strongly resembles Waite's.
Other theories: the cards are allegories of Sufi masters; Grail legend depictions; the
Indian game Chaturanga, a forerunner of chess; Indian holy texts; Gypsy imports;
Hebrew lore; Greek philosophy; ancestors of Mesopotamian copper cylinders;
symbols handed down from prehistoric oral stories; symbols from ancient Central
American Indian cultures; wisdom of prehistoric matriarchal cultures; teaching
aids of the Waldenses, a persecuted Christian sect; surviving lore of the Order of
Knights Templar, founded in 1188 to protect pilgrims and guard the ways to the
Holy Land; or creations of 13th century alchemists -and the Tarot is indeed loaded
with alchemical imagery.
Speculation aside, we don't know, and perhaps will never know, what the first
Tarot cards looked like. Nor do we know where they came from or who created
them. We don't even know how many were contained in a deck. Although it has
frustrated Tarot experts and inspired countless origin theories, I like that mystery.
So many beautiful things emerge from drab beginnings that not knowing makes
room for fantasies in which bold spirits paint those first wonderful images in an
ecstasy of creative awakening.
However they came to be, the images of Tarot, like all true symbols, resound
spontaneous self-expressions from the psyche's deepest springs; and for that reason
they hold up magic mirrors to whatever reactions we bring them. Like all authentic
artistic creations, Tarots are ultimately a mystery and will remain so.
The Magician in the Tarot and Magick
The symbolic images of the Magician in the Tarot decks explain the essence of
magick and the required attitude of its practicioners
This card has the number 1, because it is the card of beginnings and everything you
need for a good start: self-confidence, creativity, determination, willpower, self-
control, skill, craft, purposeful action, energy, activity and vitality. It is the drive to
choose your own direction, to realize your Self. Ofcourse it is also the card of
magick and the magician him-or herself, communicating between heaven and
earth, thus creating and materializing new possibilities.

Card positions descriptions
As each card falls into its place in the spread your goal is to provide a clear and
precise interpretation of the card its color the symbols on the card in relationship to
where it has fallen in the spread if for example it falls in the travel position then
each of the elements should be interpreted in the sense of travel.
Travel
There is more than one way to travel
We can travel from work to home each day, we can plan holidays or wish for them,
we can travel in our imaginations some people even astral travel on a regular basis.
Then there is our journey through life we travel each day through time, getting
older more experienced, wiser and learning more about ourselves. We learn and
travel along a spiritual path of life.
Whichever card falls in the travel position will have significance for the client in
regards to whatever journey they happen to be on.
It would be well to remember also that there are three basic stages to any journey
the beginning the middle and the end of the journey
A client may be about to start their spiritual journey they may be in the stage of
discovery and travel or a part of their life’s journey may be coming to and end.
It is primarily your intuition and reading of the client that will guide you toward
where they are.
For example let us assume that the page of wands has fallen in this position so we
know that all of its images symbols colors and hidden meaning should relate to
travel
Let’s look at what we already know about this card by returning to our charts
section.
Colors
There is a predominance of yellow in the pages clothing and his boots you might
on different occasions see other colors as standing out such as the blue sky
background or the orange of the hills in the distance but in this case your intuition
leads you to yellow.
Yellow is the color of creativity generating new ideas new ways of looking at
things, so we might say that there is a new journey being planned or at the least
thought about. Perhaps it is to some new place that the client hasn’t been before.
You might also note that the shoes appear relatively clean, unworn there is a
definite freshness or newness to this image.
The character is also standing alone there are no other people in this image. So we
might assume from this that the client is going to travel alone or if other people are
in the equation there may be a problem with those people actually attending.
Standing alone however can also mean a personal or spiritual journey rather than a
physical one. A new stage of life may be about to be entered into by this client. By
definition the yellow is creative or of the mind so a lot of thought will have gone
into whatever project or journey lays ahead.
This is also evident from the picture itself, the page appears to be examining the
staff almost as if he is perhaps checking that everything is OK for the journey
ahead, he appears to be in a state of happy contemplation.
Wands
We also know that according to the consensus of many books wands deals with
physical possessions. In this case there could be two meanings relating to the
journey it appears that this client may be about to embark on letting go of
possessions or the view he or she has about letting go of worldly possessions.
There is an age old Buddhist philosophy that says to grow in the spiritual we must
let go of those material things that hold us back.
This person may also need to decide what to take with them as opposed to letting
go perhaps in some cases more is needed.
_ _Staff:_ Here we are recognizing staff's found in the cards that are specifically
used for support by the archetypes in the cards. With this parameter in mind, staff
symbol meanings deal with support, stability, direction, and single-ness of purpose.
The staff is also a symbolic representation of the numeral one, and as such is
carries a meaning of new beginnings, first-attempts, and again, single-mindedness
in thought as well as deed.
_As you can see we are beginning to develop quite a good reading here simpoly by
using a mixture of intuition and what the cards meaning are in relationship to
travel.
Let’s look at another example this time we have the nine of cups fall in the travel
position
For later reference this is one of the MERCHANT cards it deals with business and
most be related now to travel or growth. Here the client might be starting a new
business venture
This in itself can be a huge journey for some people
Again the color yellow is predominant so creativity plays a role here perhaps the
idea for the business is fairly unique or it may involve some for of creativity.
The merchant and travel are connected so we might be talking about a business trip
or a trip that will result in some sort of business opportunity even if this was not
the original intention of the trip.
Now to a few of the symbols that the uninitiated may not notice straight away
The bench our man in the image is sitting on a bench this can denote taking a
moment to rest to gather ones thoughts and he has his arms crossed a sign of
rejection in the position of travel where our client is going on some type of journey
and a business opportunity does present itself the client may at first reject the idea.
It may come across as too outlandish or there may be trust issues with the person
involved. In short I would advise the clients that if all this does come to pass, to
take a moment to really think about what is going on.
In a completely different reading your intuition may cause you to recall that Cups
are emotional generally the more cups the more emotion we are deal with, this
could be an emotional journey of some type. Keep in mind that there are several
types of emotional journey perhaps the client has to travel to attend a funeral or
meet a potential partner they have been communicating with over the internet (we
live in a changing world.
It could even mean that during a normal holiday some emotional issue drags the
client back or even further away.
We now have the merchant connected to travel connected to emotion as this card is
displayed your intuition and reading of the client will guide you toward what is
right. Keeping in mind that no two clients are ever the same and each circumstance
and situation will be different.
_Finally let’s suppose that the strength card has fallen in travel
Again we see yellow as a primary color creativity new ideas the lion itself is red or
orange while the female character is dressed in white you might also not that there
is a lot of green in the ground,
We see in the symbols the mountains in the distance and an infinity symbol above
the head of the female next there are what appear to be small shrubberies on the
ground
Next we might notice that the prime number of this card is eight
Putting all this together as it relates to travel we might see.
A journey where the client has or will gain much personal strength moving from
one stage of life to another
Whatever this change is, it will be life changing and last for the rest of the clients
life or at the very least have a profound effect on the rest of their life.
Mastering the tarot

Hidden Symbols
Many people have the same or a similar view of the tarot cards as they do for the
spirit board
Angel: Lovers / Wheel / Temperance / Judgment / Queen of Swords
In the Tarot and other occult or oracle systems Angels are symbolic of universal
communication. of higher thought and ideals They are messengers of essential or
inspirational information. We all receive that universal wisdom at times a
collection of unrelated occurrences or signs that seem to mean something. We
don’t know if these messages are from god actual angels the universal principle or
from the subconscious which tends to notice everything that is going on around us.
What we do know is that we notice these signs or clues and attempt to translate and
understand them, often when this happens we ask what does it mean and how
many times have you heard someone say “the universe is trying to give me a
message here” or “the forces are trying to tell me something”
During In a reading, and relating to the position or fall of the card there may a
message coming to the client, this could be a real message such as a letter email or
phone call or the message may be as above in the form of some inspirational idea,
some divine intervention, it might even be in a subtlety that is not immediately
recognized by the client or even the reader. The idea here is to be aware and to
start looking around and reflecting at what is going on.
Adding this information into a reading will again expand the meaning and
effectiveness of your readings like numbers or colors you are adding new deeper
elements in the following example the judgment card falls in money and finances
in our nine card spread.
We are going to combine all that we have learned thus far into this part of the
reading you should remember that this will be done for any card in any position.
Color the numbers the image and the symbols within the card although I will
assume that in this case your intuition and psychic side has noticed (or you have
been drawn to the angel in this card
You have already checked up on the base meaning of the card itself from your
existing tarot books or this course as a guide, you will be adding more detail by
expanding outward into the symbols numbers and colors of the card
You may have noticed the other symbols such as the water or the tomb the trumpet
and the Red Cross, yet it is the angel that stands out to you
You notice the amount of blue refer to your color information (something you will
only need to do at the beginning soon you will just KNOW all the colors) and
comment on this, you then recall that the number twenty (from your higher number
chart) has certain values so you talk about these.
Now the angel appeals to you and there seems to be a message of some kind
headed toward the client, at a fundamental level this may mean a message is
coming about some type of inheritance or perhaps the passing on of another
person, in this case it will most likely be in the form of a phone call.
And because this card is twentieth in the tarot or two the client may find
themselves being the diplomat, in this situation being the one called upon to unite
all parties involved to be the , enduring PEACEMAKER.
Naturally this is only one way of doing the reading there are as many different
interpretations as there are clients your understanding of the client or reading
through intuition will guide you in the right direction
A different client may give you an entirely different FEELING during the reading
the message for the client may be about a business plan that comes to fruition this
plan having overseas connections of some kind.
Again in this reading you have not really noticed or FELT the other symbols in the
card.

BOOK ONE
THE MAGICIAN
Introduction
The premise of what you are about to study is relatively simple, when two cards
appear in a spread the combination has meaning. It doesn’t matter what spread or
system you employ in your readings, intuition will lead you to know or feel if the
meaning related to the past present or the future, usually the left is more toward the
past, while the right represents the future and the closer the cards are together the
more we need to look at the present.
While the premise may be simple it can take a lifetime of study and experience to
master these combinations and place them in relationship to the areas of your
client’s life. There are seven areas that the combinations may fall into. These are
Travel. Health, Education, Sex, Relationships, Ambitions and Money, each of
these areas carries different energies beliefs and information with them.
In any spread of more than two cards you are going to have a full reading based
simply on your intuition and the cards that fall with the magician.
This is volume one in a series of books designed to break down the nine card
system and allow you to give very powerful even life changing readings. That’s
said however the information is applicable to any spread you may use.
The information in these pages is also very applicable to other decks or oracle
cards as most of them have a magician or a card that represents the magician.
THE SEVEN QUESTIONS
Our lives are divided by time energy and areas of interest to us, as humans we tend
to separate ourselves and spread our energy and time throughout these areas,
unfortunately some get more than others and we may lack things or direction in
areas we may even feel through our perception that an area of life is Ok, when in
fact we are compensating for it through another,
In the nine card spread the first seven cards deal with those areas, the cards that fall
in those positions can be very helpful in determining what’s going on in the
client’s life.

THE
SEX CLIENTS
Social
Interpersonal CARD
relationships
relationships AND
CAREER
AMBITIONS MONEY
DREAMS
Another way of thinking about this is to assume that as humans moving through
life there are seven areas of concern that we are most apt to ask questions about. At
times we want to know about relationships, at others times we want to know what
the future holds with our careers, we become concerned about money or material
possessions at one stage of life and later we tend to let that go.
We will first deal with the cards individually as they fall in each of the positions,
keeping mind that this book deals only with the magician, and as there is only one
magician in a deck of tarot the meaning will be individual to the position it falls
and to the client. Your intuition is going to play a big part in determine g the
direction or flow of your reading.
To begin have the client mix the deck while they do this ask them to focus on an
area of life they may be concerned with, or on a question they have, and to keep
this to themselves as you do not want to be influenced by any information you may
have or your feelings on a matter.
Now ask the client to divide the deck into three piles anyway they wish. Either by
cutting three piles or dealing the cards down one at a time. It doesn’t matter how
the three piles are achieved as long as you have three roughly equal stacks of cards.
Ask the client to place them back into one pile in any order they desire.
Now deal the cards face down, from the top of the deck onto the table in a three by
three formation, dealing out
12346785
Dealing the last card position 5 last placing it in the centre of the spread, deal this
last card face up. The last card (dealt in position five) represents the client, or
something about them. With their life being spread out around them. After
shuffling or mixing the cards and returning them to a single pile you have placed
nine cards on the table, in a three by three pattern eight of them are face down, the
centre card is face up, to begin your reading turn over the first card the travel
position. The following sections deal with the magician card falling in the prime
positions.
Prime positions are not to be confused with the reading as a full once you have the
rime positions we add levels and other cards to complete the reading.
The prime positions are
Travel
Health
Education
Relationships
Ambitions
Money
Travel The magician is the first card down.
We travel in several different ways and we travel via different methods throughout
our lives, we can pack our bags and go on holiday, we travel through various
stages of life and we grow through learning and education in short each of us
travels through our lives, in fact it is this movement that lets us know that we are
alive. Things that are alive generally tend to move in some way.
The magician card falling here can denote several things, one that there is some
barrier to movement or travel, or that things are going well. It will depend on what
other cards come out and where your intuition leads you, we can for example move
location or house, change areas, change jobs, and even change families in today’s
society. Whatever it is, the magician denotes something unknown and possible a
lack of resources.
Health The magician is the second card down.
PERSONAL ENERGIES
There are six basic energies that we need to both express and fulfil in our lives if
we are to be complete humans. If these energies are not directed in the right way,
they will find a way to reach fulfilment. Often this is redirected into areas that are
negative unhealthy and wistful. An example might be the gambler who only
gambles when he feels that he has no control in his life, at home he is emasculated
at work he has no control. In fact for most of his life he feels a lack of control.
However when he is at the casino or sitting in front of a poker machine, he feels as
wrong as it may be, that he at least has control here. That he gets to push the
button, he chooses the numbers that will determine his fate
win or lose, he feels as if he has some control over the events.
This of course is just a feeling. It conflicts with reality and in
some cases, such as addiction it can end up being destructive
and life destroying. Yet he feels or has a sense of control.
Another common example is the male or female, who moves
from one promiscuous sexual situation to the next,, the need
for connection drives them from one bad or dangerous
situation to another then another, because at some stage this
person feels connected perhaps even loved, these feelings
because they are not real quickly degenerate, thus the
individual again seeks the next fulfilling relationship. Sex
and love become intertwined,
Energies or drivers are not like motivations, we might be motivated to make
money, yet driven by a fear of being poor and destitute, or driven by our fathers
words, don’t be lazy son… these six energies might be better thought of as drivers.
You will not be motivated by them, yet without them you may be driven to act and
behave in ways that are not beneficial to your life coals. And here is another
important thing, , as you begin to find balance and these energies begin to work for
you rather than against you , a very interesting side effect often occurs, and that is
e find purpose. Many clients tell me that they know they have a purpose in life.
They just can’t see what that purpose is. Bring balance to these six basic human
needs or energies will help you to clarify and discover your purpose, discover what
it is that the universe has in store for you...
The human psyche is designed in such a way that if our fundamental needs are not
met we will find something that fills the gap, and that something will be the nearest
thing to the needed feeling that we can find.
The Energy of Connection
We all need to belong somewhere Love is the need for
connection with other people and the desire to love and be
loved. Everybody needs to be able to express love, to both
give and receive love, be it from friend’s family or spouses.
Without it we will seek it in all the wrong places. This may
be a fundamental reason behind the popularity of some cults
and religious movements as they seem to offer love and
connection (in the initial stages anyway) many disconnected
young males find themselves being drawn toward street
gangs in an effort to belong, and many young girls will make
life changing mistakes just to belong, To gain that sense of
giving and receiving love.
We need to love or to feel connected to other people in order
to thrive. Infants who are deprived of contact with other human beings will die
just from the lack of human touch. People often use words like togetherness,
passion, unity, warmth, tenderness and desire to describe their need for love and
connection.
Education The magician is the third card down.
Growth Energy
Ever wonder why older people go back to school. We have an
innate need to constantly develop intellectually, emotionally,
physically and spiritually.
We are in a state of continuous growth even though many do
not always realize it, have a look at what you’re doing right
now reading and learning, growing. When we stop growing,
we in essence die.
We develop emotionally with each life experience that we
have; we develop and grow intellectually every day with each
exposure to new knowledge practically; we all aspire
spiritually as we contemplate the universe around us and our
place in that universe. If we don’t grow we can become
stagnant and have a feeling of being blocked or held back.
Then we will tend to try and find that feeling, fulfil that need as with the other
energies we will through lack of knowledge fill that void with the wrong things,
with anything that doesn’t make us feel stagnant. To be complete we need to be
constantly moving learning and changing we need growth
Energy through Significance
Personal power through significance is the need to feel important, needed and
wanted, to have a place in the world and for that place to be worthwhile. Our sense
of significance is most often validated by comparing
ourselves and our accomplishments or failures to somebody
else. We need personal pride in what we have achieved, and
that pride is usually based on some evaluation by other
people. Did you know one of the biggest causes of feeling
rejected, is actually a lack of feeling significant or needed that
you are worthwhile, that you don’t reach someone else’s
standards. It is this need to feel significant that drives us to be
competitive, to improve our performance at work and is also
a major clue with people who are perfectionists. Those who
feel they can never achieve enough. What’s really driving
them is the need to feel of value or significant.
Career The magician is the fourth card down.
Energy of certainty Variety and Uncertainty
Just as we need to grow and we need a certain amount of
certainty in our lives, we also need stimulus and change. We
need to be confident that things are going to work out, that
the sun will come up each morning and that we can trust our
friends. At the same time our lives are incomplete (read
boring) unless we experience varying degrees of sensory
stimulation. As developing humans we need both emotional
and physical challenges in order to stretch our range of
development. Without this stimulus we can often feel an
undefined and vague sense of fear, not knowing what
tomorrow may bring is negative uncertainty instability.
Experiencing suspense or surprise however is positive
uncertainty this is one reason the entertainment industry is so
popular it fulfils this innate need we all have. We need change with some amount
of conflict and crisis; this may help you to understand why soap operas are
addictive to some people, what they lack in real life is supplied by these TV shows.
Relationships the magician is the sixth card down.
Energy in Contribution
Each of us, whether we admit it or not need to go beyond the
narrow scope of our own needs and give freely to others
without expectation of reward or compensation. I will often
see people look vaguely into space and wonder what they are
contributing to the world at large or indeed to their own small
part of the world. What is the world at large contributing to
your life and what are you contributing to the world? Many
people feel the need to donate to charities, or involve
themselves in other work to fulfil this need. This energy is
what makes our life meaningful, and there is a sense of
meaningless without it that (in extreme cases has led to
suicide) will have us aimlessly wandering around looking for
something to do, or directing that meaning into the wrong
areas, a good example of this is somebody who has a really misinformed view
about what money is and how it works, they will draw meaning of life from
money, not what that money enables them to contribute. Do you feel you are
making a difference and giving back? If not, have a look at the contributions you
are making.
Money The magician is the seventh card down.
Creative Energy
As humans we need to be creative, it is a fundamental part of
our nature, whether it be creating a new business, artwork or
writing or designing that new train diorama we need to
creative, without it we will fell incomplete and purposeless as
a race we would not have survived unless some of us were
creative enough to turn a stick into a weapon
To the body there is little difference in the sensations of
gratification and creativity, both give a sensation of wellbeing
and purpose, that something worthwhile has occurred, the
problem is that gratification, especially instant gratification is
temporary fading very quickly, we need to seek it again
almost straight away, while creativity lasts, if we create
something from a macramé hanging thingy, to writing a book
or painting a picture we receive a feeling of both worth and satisfaction.
And we are involved in the process of creation; it takes time, dedication and focus
to create anything. even drawing a sketch on a piece of paper takes more of your
mental processing and faculties, than going out and finding various forms of
instant gratification, even if at the time it seems like your putting in effort, you
should consider the results and the outcome of what you are achieving.
Ambition The magician is the eighth card down.
WHAT ARE LIMITING BELIEFS?
We each have beliefs about the world and the way it works. Our experiences
through life have ingrained within us deep-rooted ideas about what is, or is not,
what is possible what is not possible; what and who we are,
or are not, and what we are capable of doing, and what is
beyond our reach
Through this process we are going to examine some of the
beliefs you have retained from your own childhood?
Some of these ideas may be valid; such as eating properly,
washing your hands after going to the toilet, not talking to
strangers and working hard for the boss, other beliefs may be
wildly off the mark, like ATM cards are
unending sources of money, Ill never be
rich, or overweight people are jolly.
These ideas may have been inherited
from a family member or picked up
through and reinforced through feeling good and comfortable
after sweet and fatty foods, all this occurred before we were
old enough to examine them subjectively. Either way, our
beliefs can affect our decisions and choices, whether or not
we realize it.
You know as an adult in your logical mind that credit cards
are not magical money making devices, however as a child
watching your mother use one to pay for the shopping you
may have ,even for a short time, believed or wished that they were, after all your
mother handed over the card and everything was taken care of. This simple
erroneous belief may be affecting you now in adult life and could be partly
responsible for your dept. or savings problems now.
Even though you don’t believe that credit cards are magical there are times when
without knowing it you are acting as if it they were true, handing over the credit
card when you know you shouldn’t.
Our beliefs are conclusions we have drawn based on our experiences as children. If
we grow up in a warm, nurturing and supportive family we will have very different
beliefs than if we grow up in a painful, shaming and abusive family.
Dad comes home at least twice a week complaining about the foreman at work and
what an A-hole he is, years later, you don’t like foreman at any of your jobs and
you’re not even really sure why you don’t like them, all you know is they are as a
rule all A-holes
One constant is, at the time we chose any belief, no matter what that belief may be,
it made sense at the time. It was originally designed to protect or benefit us in some
way, therefore no belief is unintelligent, or bad, or even wrong. Beliefs serve a
purpose and sometimes our lives change so much that old beliefs become a
mismatch for our lives as we change.
The problem is sometimes beliefs developed as children don't always serve us well
as adults. We have changed our situation has changed yet our deeper beliefs have
not changed with us. As children we may truly believe that credit cards are
magical money producing devices. That bosses are evil that you can have super
powers that mum or dad will protect you that you never have to do anything alone.
It makes perfect sense at the time to believe this, some of the adults around you
may have even supported or reinforced these beliefs by the way they acted and the
things they did.
As adults however these values are seriously dated, even dangerous beliefs such as
“bosses are always hard to get on with”, is not going to make your working life
very comfortable, holding onto the belief that “Saving money is for boring nerds”
is detrimental to creating the kind of life we really want. Most of us have probably
worked through beliefs like these. Other beliefs are much more subtle than this and
lay beneath more obvious ones.
Perhaps as a child you did believe that credit cards were enchanted money
producing bits of plastic, and while you have grown up and no longer believe that,
you do as an adult you have a persistent problem with being in debt. Can’t balance
the books, always robbing Peter to pay Paul, are basically not responsible with
money. We might then look below this for a belief about fear of responsibility.
Something like, "Responsible people are boring." and under that might be "Boring
people are lonely."
This program will help you to clear or smash through the belief that “boring people
are lonely”, “I can’t do anything alone”, “I hate being overweight but it’s how I am
destined to be” ”I’m not smart enough” “not pretty enough” “I come from the
wrong background”. This allows you the freedom to begin being more
responsible. You would begin noticing yourself make wiser choices about paying
bills, eating working saving Spending your money more wisely and so on. Or
simply aligning your life habits, viewing success more positively and taking that
first step forward
THE SYMPTOMS
HOW TO IDENTIFY LIMITING BELIEFS
Another way of telling or determining that you are being held back by your own
limiting belief or Santa clauses is to have a very honest look
at yourself and why you do things the way you do them, then
of course we all know people who continually engage in self-
destructive behavior. Friends, relatives, children and work
colleges who do things that run against their own best
interests? If you or someone you know continues to employ
troublesome behavior even though it consistently leads to a
state of utter misery? Then there is a very good chance that
some limiting belief or fear is holding you back not allowing
you to move forward. In other words (and be honest with
yourself here) if you are repeating bad behavior even though
you know it’s bad and self-destructive.
The person who always dates the same type of loser or
cheater we all know the type of person she is more often than not very intelligent
even excellent at work dresses well seems as they say to have it all together, yet
somehow she always seems to end up with "dead-beat" guys? Then there is the
lonesome fellow who always seems to pick partners that cheat on him he is the
veritable cuckold. Both these people appear to repeat this pattern over and over
again despite any advice or common sense.
Then there are those talented and industrious people we all know, those that you
know if they could only break the mold, shift the pattern, would be millionaires
based on their talent alone perhaps you or someone you know is a singer and artist
a standup comedian or someone you know would be successful in their own
business, you know this because they are always talking about it. Yet when it
comes to doing something about it they can never get the first foot out the door.
While unemployed friends take it easy “living the high life,"

you are industriously hard working, paying living bills, yet
always Struggling to make ends meet. Finally, you begin to
question the wisdom of your behavior and start to visualize a
new job a stepping stone to greater things or running your
business part time just to get things going, Ill build up from
there you say to yourself. Or you say I’ve had enough of this
person in my life I need to move on so you dump him or her,
only to replace them with a "clone” a look-a-like". You end up
in the exact same job in the same industry only in a different
location with a foreman, or manager you despise even more
than the last, you see your new relationship heading down the same path as before
and you begin to feel lost, lonely and not a little afraid.
To everyone else your friends and family and possibly your therapist, the warning
signs are fairly obvious, you’ve done it again you however are oblivious to them.
Have you been telling yourself the same story over and over again, have you been
promising yourself for the last ten years that you will lose 20 pounds, to no avail?
Yet somehow you find that you are never able to adhere to a fitness program. Have
you been promising yourself that you’ll get fit, find a better job, go back to school,
do a course, start that radio show, write a book, make that film, or anything else,
for a very long time now?
You know intrinsically that you can do the things you want to do, you keep telling
yourself that you can, but that’s as far as you get, telling yourself, You don't like
the way you look, you’re not happy with your savings, you keep telling yourself
that tomorrow you will start but tomorrow never seems to come. You don't like the
way you feel. So you keep saying I’ll go to the gym. You are concerned about
health risks, so you tell yourself that giving up smoking or exercising would be the
best thing right now but something stops you from successfully taking that first
step.
You are chronically late with your bills. Are you constantly robbing Peter to pay
Paul and somehow convincing yourself that it will be Ok that your only a week or
a month late, each time this happens do you promise yourself that it won’t happen
again?. Yet that never happens. Something gets in your way? You continue to
create this unpleasant anxiety producing state of affairs? The saddest part is that
you actually know you’re doing it.
You have trouble saying "no". Is it difficult for you to be assertive (not aggressive)
and say “no"? You end up fulfilling the needs or in some cases the demands and
requests of others as your own needs are delayed or go unfulfilled altogether.
Which of our little Santa clauses is it that stops you from developing a healthy
sense of entitlement?
Do you procrastinate? Is it your habit to put things off, this behaviour makes you
unhappy, yet you can't seem to organize yourself to get things started. Believe it or
not procrastination is a very big sign that you may be protecting yourself from
something more on this later for the moment ask yourself (again be honest) What
is really interfering with your capacity to get things done now?
You have difficulty effectively setting and achieving life goals. You know that
your life isn't going the way that you had planned or visualized. Your career goals
are “sort of concrete” yet vague at the same time you are going with the flow and
that flow doesn’t always flow the way you would like.
Your love life is actually sad and you spent at least twenty minutes each day
wishing it was better that “they” would change, or that you had the Moxie to leave,
yet you can't seem to figure out what you want and how to go about pursuing it.
Then you realize, even though you’ve heard a thousand times, read it in numerous
motivational books, seen it on TV and heard it from friends that you never actually
taken the time to sit down and write out your goals.
Dreams and Reality the magician is the last card down.
THAT VOICE YOU HEAR
We have fairly well established that when we talk to
ourselves, we are talking ourselves out of things, usually
really good ideas; we may have talked ourselves out of
success, business or relationships. Yet we don’t just talk to
ourselves, we also listen, and most of the time, that voice we
hear is not ours. That voice is a shadow, an echo of past
voices, our parents, teachers, friends and society at large,
everything we have heard echoes and bounces around in our
heads until needed.
We get our doing and communicating models from our
parents, how we communicate with the world usually
develops at an early age from our opposite sex parent and
how to do things in the world comes from our same sex
parent. As a small girl the first males that you may have communicated with was
your father or the person that took on the fatherhood role in your life, for the rest of
your life you have been using that model, developed as a child, to talk to and
communicate with all the males in your life.
In other words, you have been talking to all men as if they were your father, then
expecting at a subconscious level, them to react the same way your father would
have. When they don’t you become displaced. Things don’t seem right, or it may
feel that they don’t understand you, or that you are not being listened to, all
because you are not getting the reactions and responses you expect.
The same is true for males. As small boys, from infancy your mother instilled in
you a way of communicating with all females. Later in life, when that
communication model is so ingrained and natural for you , that you don’t see it, it’s
just the way you are, there can be problems when talking to women, because some
of them don’t react or converse, back to you the way you internally expect them to,
like your Mum would.
At the same time we get our doing or operating model from the same sex parent,
whether we like it or not, to a very large degree we become our parents. Girls learn
to behave and operate the same way their mother’s do, while boys learn what to do
in the world and how to react to things from their fathers. Cast your mind back to
any argument or “debate” that your parents might have had, you will have learned
from your you opposite sex parent how to communicate in the argument, what to
say , how to say it, then what to do about that argument, how to react from your
same sex parent. If you are female and you saw your father raise his voice at
certain points, that is what you will do, and if after the argument your mum
stormed out of the room or shut herself away in a shell. To a very large degree
That is what you will do,.
Later in life we become so used to this, so good at it we don’t always check to see
if this is the best way of doing things, the most productive way, or of dealing with
the world and communicating our ideas and needs that we fall into the trap of
repeating this behaviour over and over again. It becomes out normal way of
operating.
At the same time we are listening internally to all the things our parents said, after
all, what was the first word that most of us understood as children, the first word
we were able to react to, “NO”, the first word that had any real meaning for us was
a negative. The word “NO” there may be the constant echo of the word NO that
rears itself in most situations that either or both of your parents may have disagreed
with. The sad part is we don’t realize we are doing this it becomes natural for us.
Next we listen to other members of our family and our friends, there may be an
uncle or aunt that we admired or felt love from as a child, there may also be some
who we felt less than love from, yet we still listen to the echoes, the shadows of
their voices, their opinions and ways of doing things, anyone who had any
emotional contact with us, has a lasting effect on us through to adulthood. So much
of the time we feel that we are operating under our own will, having our own
opinions, we are not. We are simply echoing the views and opinions we learned
from others. These others include teachers, keep in mind that much of the
education system is designed to tell us, what to think not how to think.
Different part of us can learn things at different times, in different ways, at

different speeds. We each made up of many parts, no this doesn’t mean we are
schizophrenic, it means, there are different parts of us in the driver’s seat at
different times. We are different in various situations that we find ourselves in.
You may be a mother a father yet you are also a son or daughter, you can be a
friend a confidant, a worker, a manager a tradesman, a cook a house cleaner, a wife
a husband along with a variety of other things, such as counsellor to your friends,
nurse to your children and lover to your partner. You are all of them, yet not at the
same time.
When you arrive at your parents’ house, regardless of your age or circumstances,
most of us click into son or daughter mode, and yet later when we arrive back
home, we click into husband or wife mode or mother or father, each situation or
circumstances, allows a different part of us to step into the driver’s seat of our
personality, we are different with our friends than we are with our parents.
Then depending on who and where we are and what part is driving us, we may be
listening to different stories, believing different truths and operating, acting in
different ways. And often these different ways can be in conflict with what is best
for us. One part of us may want success in a certain area of life, while at the same
another part of us, wants and believes that something entirely different is best for
us.
A good example of this is the man who believes that road rage is stupid, public
displays of anger are unproductive, embarrassing and only cause stress and
concern, which is true. He also believes that being on time for work is really good,
he earns more money, the boss respects him, and at the end of the day he feels that
he has put in a good effort, even sleeps better at night, which is also true.
Then one day he finds himself stuck in traffic and may be late for work, next thing
he knows he is feeling disjointed, angry at the other drivers for holding him up, and
could, given the right circumstances end up exhibiting road rage.
Both his beliefs where true, being on time for work, and road rage is for idiots, yet
they could not both be true in the same place. Many parents exhibit similar
behaviour when it comes to children, a part of them has one truth, another part,
another truth, both of which are true, yet given the right time and place these truths
can be in conflict with each other, different parts are listening to different
messages. It’s Ok for the kids to act in a certain way, but its bad parenting if
somebody else allows their kids to do the same. But the way you do it is always
different. It was Ok in my day, but my kids will learn better values.
Different parts of us listens to different echoes or shadows of what we have been
told at various points in our live, the child within you has different values and
beliefs than the adult the parent or the worker. The part of you that wants to be
successful in business may have different values beliefs and listen to different
memories than the part of you that wants to be a good wife or husband, there is an
internal conflict within must of us that is easier to avoid altogether than confront
and deal with.
So what do you do about it? Firstly become aware that you might be listening to
voices from the past, listening to voices that are not yours, become aware of the
difference between when you talk to yourself and when you listen, talking to
ourselves involves an internal dialogue, at other times we sit or wander mentally
almost in contemplation, that’s when we are listening, and we are listening to our
feelings, more than to words.
Listening may involve vague emotions such as guilt, we want something, like
success in business or a certain amount in the bank, part of us is prepared to save,
work extra hours, and put money in the bank and become self-disciplined enough
not to spend any unnecessary money until we reach our goal. Yet for some weird
reason we feel guilt, there is no real reason for it, it is simply there, that vague
feeling that if I save money I’m actually hording and being nasty and somebody
else might miss out,, this is when we are listening, with our feelings, to those
voices from the past, the voices that told us that it is wrong to be rich, that having
money is not spiritual, that rich people step on others peoples toes and are
generally not nice,,
We might feel that it is time to leave a disastrous relationship we talk to ourselves
about it, decide to leave, then fear steps in, the fear of being alone, fear that the
other partner may not like it, fall into depression blame you and possibly even get
violent. These feelings are not expressed in words as much as they are in feeling
emotions and vague sensations, hence we stop, we stay where we are much longer
than we should, we are listening not to our own voices, but to those of the past.
So train yourself to become aware of the internal feelings of difference, between
when you talk to yourself and when you listen.
Where do you spend most of your time?
Letting go of the past
A question I often ask my clients is, where do you spend most
of your time, in the past, the present or the future? If you
were to really think about it, which of these occupies your
thoughts the most, do you dwell in the past, going over old
mistakes, wishing that you had done it better or not at all. Do
you regret things you di, or didn’t do? Are you hopeful of the
future, how much time do you spend planning what you will
do when and if you win lotto, or are you cognizant of the
present what you’re doing right now and the choices you are
making in the now.
There is very little we can do about the past (except in some
cases apologize) the future is uncertain; we can make rough
predictions but that is all. Realistically all you have is right
now, this moment in time, you are certain about NOW and nothing else, and what
you do now determines the type of future you will have.
If I walk up to a person and slap them in the face I am guaranteeing a type of
future, a future where I will get slapped back or have other nasty things happen to
me. If on the other hand if I am nice helpful and thoughtful, then I am guaranteeing
a different future on that will benefit both me and other people.
If I chose to do things now that are productive and will get me closer to my dreams
then I am projecting those actions into the future and the chances of me reaching
those goals are getter.
If I chose to do nothing or to let my fears and natural procrastination get the better
of me, then that is the future I am heading toward.
Everything you do now creates a possible future, this is like a superpower once you
understand it and apply it to your life

Feedback from Students: "'One on one' Skype is great!" "I am so very honored to
know all of you at Tarot Professionals. Integrity intact." "You are by far hands
down ...The Best of the Best." "Connecting with you has certainly been an
enriching, educational and friendly experience." "All the Skype sessions I was able
to take part in were extremely beneficial, the hints and tips given by Marcus were
very helpful. Feedback on course work from Janine was also helpful, and it was
inspiring talking with other people on the same course." "This course was just what
I needed to motivate me to do face to face readings. It was also extremely good
value for money. The course handbook was well written and very informative but
more than this, the information from Marcus by way of videos and Skype was
exceptional. The spreads suggested have been an eye opener and also ways to get
over a mental block when reading was helpful as that has always been what I
feared the most – having a spread of cards in front of me but not be able to make
sense of them. All in all this was an excellent and most enjoyable course which I
would recommend to anyone interested in learning the tarot."

Tarot Classes
"And above all else to thy own self be true." -Willam Shakespeare
Over the years through teaching my Tarot, Astrology and Numerology classes, I
have met so many wonderful people, some have become dear friends. The link for
all of us coming together was our love of Tarot.
I have taught many people all at differnet levels, some understood the Tarot cards
intuitively and they joined my class just to learn what the symbols mean, others
would know nothing about Tarot and their hunger to learn is simply overwhelming
for them.
I often say to my students that I do not teach anything that they don't already know,
they are just remembering. This alone brings confidence, then the sharing within
the class also increases this confidence because you are not just learning from
oneself but also from all the others in the class.
Also many mothers and daughters do my program togther. By using the Tarot,
what a wonderful way for mother and daughter to open up, share and talk with
each other.
My Tarot program fees are:

$40 pay as you go
2 hour class once a week
6 - 8 month Certificate Tarot program
Approx 2 terms of 10 weeks each
I use the Rider Waite & Colman Tarot Deck throughout my classes, as I believe
they use the best symbolism
The 1st term we look at:

The Major Arcana, learn how to use them as milestones in your life today.
Delving in to the Archetypes world and gaining understanding of how these
energies work within ourselves.
We will explore all the Greek, Roman, Egyptian Mythologies associated with each
card.
The Pythagorean Numerology associated with each card.
Western Astrology, and we look at Eastern Astrology too.
The meaning of symbolism and their connection with Dreams.
As well as all the Colours.
And of course Psychology.
We also look at the Kabbalah.
Spreads only using the Major Arcana cards will be practised gradually as to build
confidence.
The 2nd term we look at:

The Minor Arcana cards, the everyday energies that we use to live out our lives in
the area of work, our loves, our material world and our mental attitudes.
The Four Elements of Fire, Earth, Air and Water and their association with the 4
Tarot suits of Wands, Pentacles, Swords and Cups, and how these Elements effects
us.
We continue with Colours, Psychology and Mythologies, etc...
Gain further confidence when we practise spreads using all the Tarot cards.
Also learning so much more when we are in a class environment.
Comparing all the different Tarot cards.
We may also discuss Crystals and other alternative healing modalities whatever
else becomes available for us to use.

Lana McKavanagh who has been lecturing in Tarot and spiritual modalities for

The pictures on the Tarot Trumps tell a symbolic story. Like our dreams, they
come to us from a level beyond the reach of consciousness and far removed from
our intellectual understanding.
Sallie Nichols; Jung and the Tarot
Nobody is quite sure what the origins of the tarot cards are, although there are
many myths and ideas. We know that the earliest deck in existence dates back to
the 15th Century and we also believe that modern playing cards stem from these
designs.
But what is truly amazing is the power that these archetypal images have over our
psyche and as such are a potent tool for self knowledge and understanding. To
learn the Tarot is to start a journey into our unconscious to plumb the depths of
arcane knowledge and to train and develop our intuition.
Beginner course
A beginner course of 12 weeks is offered and is run regularly throughout the year.
It is practical and hands-on and focuses on the use of tarot for oneself and our
personal life journey. At the end of the 12 week course the student will have a
good knowledge of the cards and be on their way to using them in readings for
themselves and others. With further advanced study there will be an opportunity
for each student to develop to professional level.
The next beginner 12 week tarot course starts on Friday 1st April at 10:30am.
If you are interested in joining the class, please ring 03 95768864.
Regular advanced reading groups meet through the year.

Counselling and Mental Health Skills for Tarot Readers,
Astrologers and other Psycho-Spiritual Practitioners
“For many years I have wanted to integrate my conventional clinical and educative
work as a Social Worker, my knowledge from Medicine, and a large personal
interest in psychology and psychiatry, with the esoteric.

This course has been a dream of mine for some years – the opportunity to combine
conventional counselling/mental health work and skill, with the esoteric, ultimately
aiming for a balance and integration of the psyche and soul.
“Having become a part-time tarot reader, then astrologer, whilst continuing to
work as Social worker, I also studied Wicca, Jung, Kabbalah, Buddhism and other
spiritual traditions, and engaged in therapy. This has been a profound path of self
awareness, learning about my unconscious and life lessons, attempting to integrate
all this knowledge and experience. And now, dare I say, I feel wisdom has evolved
from a slow imperceptible depth of understanding of the psycho-spiritual.
“I put my ‘foot out into the world’, to actualise my ‘vocation’ and dream, I
presented three talks at the Tarot Guild of Australia and the Astrologers
Association, in Victoria, on ‘Counselling and Mental Health Skills’, which were
well received. I finally sat and wrote a course encompassing my own inner
intuition, a variety of counselling frameworks, Western psychiatry, my experience
with Social Work, Tarot and Astrology clients, my sense of the Spirit and life’s
lessons, which all came together in a course that I ran, in 2010, on Counselling and
Mental Health Skills for Tarot Readers and Astrologers and related practitioners.
The course was lively and clearly participants were eager to have those challenging
issues that clients present with, understood more deeply, and for skills to be
enhanced or developed. They recognised they were ‘counselling’, had some clients
with complex issues and deep psychological pain. The participants keenly
absorbed the context of the different counselling frameworks and were able to
recognise and know what to do when a client with mental health issues appeared,
both to be aware, to know what to do and what resources to offer the person.
Finally the dream became a reality – the opportunity to combine conventional
counselling/mental health work and skill, with the esoteric, ultimately aiming for a
balance and integration of the psyche and soul.”

Quick Review of the Case Method First Operation
Select Signifier (or Significator) card.
Shuffle deck with Signifier card and cut as follows:

Locate the pile that the Signifier card is in. That pile indicates the nature of
Signifier’s question that the tarot will answer. See below table for reference:
Personal Development; Health & Wellness. Seeker is asking about

matters of personal development, such as work or career. Could
I indicate an interest in beginning a new venture or carrying out a
new idea. Pile is also associated with the physical, such as body,
health, or wellness issues. (Corresponds with Wands.)
Love, Marriage, Family. The internal sphere: Seeker is asking
about emotions, feelings, personal relationships, or desires. This
H pile pertains to the domestic sphere and interpersonal matters.
1 When love or romance is the matter at hand, or the matter that
Seeker should focus on at present, the signifier will appear here.
(Corresponds with Cups.)
Politics, Ambitions, Social, Intellectual. The intellectualized
sphere: Seeker is asking about ambitions and high aspirations. This
pile corresponds with the Seeker’s role in society. Activists and
leaders often find their signifier cards in this pile. This pile could
also pertain to conflict resolution, imbalances or disappointments.
V
Note further that this pile could suggest intellectual matters at play,
or a mental struggle. This is the hardest of the four piles to read,
but curiously enough, the signifier rarely appears in this pile–only
for the most unique of Seeker spirits does the signifier appear
here (Corresponds with Swords.)
Money, Business, Property. Seeker is asking about a material

matter, finances, property, or wealth. When the signifier appears in
H
this pile, the Seeker should be focusing on financial concerns,
2
wealth management, or the settlement of a particular piece of
property. (Corresponds with Pentacles.)
Proceed with a tarot spread of choice to perform the tarot reading. The reading will
be about the subject matter divined by the Case Method above.

BOOK ONE
THE MAGICIAN
Introduction
The premise of what you are about to study is relatively simple, when two cards
appear in a spread the combination has meaning. It doesn’t matter what spread or
system you employ in your readings, intuition will lead you to know or feel if the
meaning related to the past present or the future, usually the left is more toward the
past, while the right represents the future and the closer the cards are together the
more we need to look at the present.
While the premise may be simple it can take a lifetime of study and experience to
master these combinations and place them in relationship to the areas of your
client’s life. There are seven areas that the combinations may fall into. These are
Travel. Health, Education, Sex, Relationships, Ambitions and Money, each of
these areas carries different energies beliefs and information with them.
In any spread of more than two cards you are going to have a full reading based
simply on your intuition and the cards that fall with the magician.
This is volume one in a series of books designed to break down the nine card
system and allow you to give very powerful even life changing readings. That’s
said however the information is applicable to any spread you may use.
The information in these pages is also very applicable to other decks or oracle
cards as most of them have a magician or a card that represents the magician.
THE SEVEN QUESTIONS
Our lives are divided by time energy and areas of interest to us, as humans we tend
to separate ourselves and spread our energy and time throughout these areas,
unfortunately some get more than others and we may lack things or direction in
areas we may even feel through our perception that an area of life is Ok, when in
fact we are compensating for it through another,
In the nine card spread the first seven cards deal with those areas, the cards that fall
in those positions can be very helpful in determining what’s going on in the
client’s life.

THE
SEX CLIENTS
Social
Interpersonal CARD
relationships
relationships AND
CAREER
AMBITIONS MONEY
DREAMS
Another way of thinking about this is to assume that as humans moving through
life there are seven areas of concern that we are most apt to ask questions about. At
times we want to know about relationships, at others times we want to know what
the future holds with our careers, we become concerned about money or material
possessions at one stage of life and later we tend to let that go.
We will first deal with the cards individually as they fall in each of the positions,
keeping mind that this book deals only with the magician, and as there is only one
magician in a deck of tarot the meaning will be individual to the position it falls
and to the client. Your intuition is going to play a big part in determine g the
direction or flow of your reading.
To begin have the client mix the deck while they do this ask them to focus on an
area of life they may be concerned with, or on a question they have, and to keep
this to themselves as you do not want to be influenced by any information you may
have or your feelings on a matter.
Now ask the client to divide the deck into three piles anyway they wish. Either by
cutting three piles or dealing the cards down one at a time. It doesn’t matter how
the three piles are achieved as long as you have three roughly equal stacks of cards.
Ask the client to place them back into one pile in any order they desire.
Now deal the cards face down, from the top of the deck onto the table in a three by
three formation, dealing out
12346785
Dealing the last card position 5 last placing it in the centre of the spread, deal this
last card face up. The last card (dealt in position five) represents the client, or
something about them. With their life being spread out around them. After
shuffling or mixing the cards and returning them to a single pile you have placed
nine cards on the table, in a three by three pattern eight of them are face down, the
centre card is face up, to begin your reading turn over the first card the travel
position. The following sections deal with the magician card falling in the prime
positions.
Prime positions are not to be confused with the reading as a full once you have the
rime positions we add levels and other cards to complete the reading.
The prime positions are
Travel
Health
Education
Relationships
Ambitions
Money
Travel The magician is the first card down.
We travel in several different ways and we travel via different methods throughout
our lives, we can pack our bags and go on holiday, we travel through various
stages of life and we grow through learning and education in short each of us
travels through our lives, in fact it is this movement that lets us know that we are
alive. Things that are alive generally tend to move in some way.
The magician card falling here can denote several things, one that there is some
barrier to movement or travel, or that things are going well. It will depend on what
other cards come out and where your intuition leads you, we can for example move
location or house, change areas, change jobs, and even change families in today’s
society. Whatever it is, the magician denotes something unknown and possible a
lack of resources.
Health The magician is the second card down.
PERSONAL ENERGIES
There are six basic energies that we need to both express and fulfil in our lives if
we are to be complete humans. If these energies are not directed in the right way,
they will find a way to reach fulfilment. Often this is redirected into areas that are
negative unhealthy and wistful. An example might be the gambler who only
gambles when he feels that he has no control in his life, at home he is emasculated
at work he has no control. In fact for most of his life he feels a lack of control.
However when he is at the casino or sitting in front of a poker machine, he feels as
wrong as it may be, that he at least has control here. That he gets to push the
button, he chooses the numbers that will determine his fate win or lose, he feels as
if he has some control over the events. This of course is just a feeling. It conflicts
with reality and in some cases, such as addiction it can end up being destructive
and life destroying. Yet he feels or has a sense of control.
Another common example is the male or female, who moves from one
promiscuous sexual situation to the next,, the need for connection drives them from
one bad or dangerous situation to another then another, because at some stage this
person feels connected perhaps even loved, these feelings because they are not real
quickly degenerate, thus the individual again seeks the next fulfilling relationship.
Sex and love become intertwined,
Energies or drivers are not like motivations, we might be motivated to make
money, yet driven by a fear of being poor and destitute, or driven by our fathers
words, don’t be lazy son… these six energies might be better thought of as drivers.
You will not be motivated by them, yet without them you may be driven to act and
behave in ways that are not beneficial to your life coals. And here is another
important thing, , as you begin to find balance and these energies begin to work for
you rather than against you , a very interesting side effect often occurs, and that is
e find purpose. Many clients tell me that they know they have a purpose in life.
They just can’t see what that purpose is. Bring balance to these six basic human
needs or energies will help you to clarify and discover your purpose, discover what
it is that the universe has in store for you...
The human psyche is designed in such a way that if our fundamental needs are not
met we will find something that fills the gap, and that something will be the nearest
thing to the needed feeling that we can find.
The Energy of Connection
We all need to belong somewhere Love is the need for connection with other
people and the desire to love and be loved. Everybody needs to be able to express
love, to both give and receive love, be it from friend’s family or spouses. Without
it we will seek it in all the wrong places. This may be a fundamental reason behind
the popularity of some cults and religious movements as they seem to offer love
and connection (in the initial stages anyway) many disconnected young males find
themselves being drawn toward street gangs in an effort to belong, and many
young girls will make life changing mistakes just to belong, To gain that sense of
giving and receiving love.
We need to love or to feel connected to other people in order to thrive. Infants
who are deprived of contact with other human beings will die just from the lack of
human touch. People often use words like togetherness, passion, unity, warmth,
tenderness and desire to describe their need for love and connection.
Education The magician is the third card down.

Growth Energy
Ever wonder why older people go back to school? We have an innate need to
constantly develop intellectually, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
We are in a state of continuous growth even though many do not always realize it,
have a look at what you’re doing right now reading and learning, growing. When
we stop growing, we in essence die.
We develop emotionally with each life experience that we have; we develop and
grow intellectually every day with each exposure to new knowledge practically; we
all aspire spiritually as we contemplate the universe around us and our place in that
universe. If we don’t grow we can become stagnant and have a feeling of being
blocked or held back. Then we will tend to try and find that feeling, fulfil that need
as with the other energies we will through lack of knowledge fill that void with the
wrong things, with anything that doesn’t make us feel stagnant. To be complete we
need to be constantly moving learning and changing we need growth
Energy through Significance

Personal power through significance is the need to feel important, needed and
wanted, to have a place in the world and for that place to be worthwhile. Our sense
of significance is most often validated by comparing ourselves and our
accomplishments or failures to somebody else. We need personal pride in what we
have achieved, and that pride is usually based on some evaluation by other people.
Did you know one of the biggest causes of feeling rejected, is actually a lack of
feeling significant or needed that you are worthwhile, that you don’t reach
someone else’s standards. It is this need to feel significant that drives us to be
competitive, to improve our performance at work and is also a major clue with
people who are perfectionists. Those who feel they can never achieve enough.
What’s really driving them is the need to feel of value or significant.
Career The magician is the fourth card down.
Energy of certainty Variety and Uncertainty
Just as we need to grow and we need a certain amount of certainty in our lives, we
also need stimulus and change. We need to be confident that things are going to
work out, that the sun will come up each morning and that we can trust our friends.
At the same time our lives are incomplete (read boring) unless we experience
varying degrees of sensory stimulation. As developing humans we need both
emotional and physical challenges in order to stretch our range of
development. Without this stimulus we can often feel an undefined and vague
sense of fear, not knowing what tomorrow may bring is negative uncertainty
instability. Experiencing suspense or surprise however is positive uncertainty this
is one reason the entertainment industry is so popular it fulfils this innate need we
all have. We need change with some amount of conflict and crisis; this may help
you to understand why soap operas are addictive to some people, what they lack in
real life is supplied by these TV shows.
Relationships the magician is the sixth card down.
Energy in Contribution
Each of us, whether we admit it or not need to go beyond the narrow scope of our
own needs and give freely to others without expectation of reward or
compensation. I will often see people look vaguely into space and wonder what
they are contributing to the world at large or indeed to their own small part of the
world. What is the world at large contributing to your life and what are you
contributing to the world? Many people feel the need to donate to charities, or
involve themselves in other work to fulfil this need. This energy is what makes our
life meaningful, and there is a sense of meaningless without it that (in extreme
cases has led to suicide) will have us aimlessly wandering around looking for
something to do, or directing that meaning into the wrong areas, a good example of
this is somebody who has a really misinformed view about what money is and how
it works, they will draw meaning of life from money, not what that money enables
them to contribute. Do you feel you are making a difference and giving back? If
not, have a look at the contributions you are making.
Money The magician is the seventh card down.
Creative Energy
As humans we need to be creative, it is a fundamental part of our nature, whether it
be creating a new business, artwork or writing or designing that new train diorama
we need to creative, without it we will fell incomplete and purposeless as a race we
would not have survived unless some of us were creative enough to turn a stick
into a weapon
To the body there is little difference in the sensations of gratification and
creativity, both give a sensation of wellbeing and purpose, that something
worthwhile has occurred, the problem is that gratification, especially instant
gratification is temporary fading very quickly, we need to seek it again almost
straight away, while creativity lasts, if we create something from a macramé
hanging thingy, to writing a book or painting a picture we receive a feeling of both
worth and satisfaction.
And we are involved in the process of creation; it takes time, dedication and focus
to create anything. even drawing a sketch on a piece of paper takes more of your
mental processing and faculties, than going out and finding various forms of
instant gratification, even if at the time it seems like your putting in effort, you
should consider the results and the outcome of what you are achieving.
Ambition The magician is the eighth card down.
WHAT ARE LIMITING BELIEFS?
We each have beliefs about the world and the way it works. Our experiences
through life have ingrained within us deep-rooted ideas about what is, or is not,
what is possible what is not possible; what and who we are,
or are not, and what we are capable of doing, and what is
beyond our reach
Through this process we are going to examine some of the
beliefs you have retained from your own childhood?
Some of these ideas may be valid; such as eating properly,
washing your hands after going to the toilet, not talking to
strangers and working hard for the boss, other beliefs may be
wildly off the mark, like ATM cards are
unending sources of money, Ill never be
rich, or overweight people are jolly.
These ideas may have been inherited
from a family member or picked up
through and reinforced through feeling good and comfortable
after sweet and fatty foods, all this occurred before we were
old enough to examine them subjectively. Either way, our
beliefs can affect our decisions and choices, whether or not
we realize it.
You know as an adult in your logical mind that credit cards
are not magical money making devices, however as a child
watching your mother use one to pay for the shopping you
may have ,even for a short time, believed or wished that they were, after all your
mother handed over the card and everything was taken care of. This simple
erroneous belief may be affecting you now in adult life and could be partly
responsible for your dept. or savings problems now.
Even though you don’t believe that credit cards are magical there are times when
without knowing it you are acting as if it they were true, handing over the credit
card when you know you shouldn’t.
Our beliefs are conclusions we have drawn based on our experiences as children. If
we grow up in a warm, nurturing and supportive family we will have very different
beliefs than if we grow up in a painful, shaming and abusive family.
Dad comes home at least twice a week complaining about the foreman at work and
what an A-hole he is, years later, you don’t like foreman at any of your jobs and
you’re not even really sure why you don’t like them, all you know is they are as a
rule all A-holes
One constant is, at the time we chose any belief, no matter what that belief may be,
it made sense at the time. It was originally designed to protect or benefit us in some
way, therefore no belief is unintelligent, or bad, or even wrong. Beliefs serve a
purpose and sometimes our lives change so much that old beliefs become a
mismatch for our lives as we change.
The problem is sometimes beliefs developed as children don't always serve us well
as adults. We have changed our situation has changed yet our deeper beliefs have
not changed with us. As children we may truly believe that credit cards are
magical money producing devices. That bosses are evil that you can have super
powers that mum or dad will protect you that you never have to do anything alone.
It makes perfect sense at the time to believe this, some of the adults around you
may have even supported or reinforced these beliefs by the way they acted and the
things they did.
As adults however these values are seriously dated, even dangerous beliefs such as
“bosses are always hard to get on with”, is not going to make your working life
very comfortable, holding onto the belief that “Saving money is for boring nerds”
is detrimental to creating the kind of life we really want. Most of us have probably
worked through beliefs like these. Other beliefs are much more subtle than this and
lay beneath more obvious ones.
Perhaps as a child you did believe that credit cards were enchanted money
producing bits of plastic, and while you have grown up and no longer believe that,
you do as an adult you have a persistent problem with being in debt. Can’t balance
the books, always robbing Peter to pay Paul, are basically not responsible with
money. We might then look below this for a belief about fear of responsibility.
Something like, "Responsible people are boring." and under that might be "Boring
people are lonely."
This program will help you to clear or smash through the belief that “boring people
are lonely”, “I can’t do anything alone”, “I hate being overweight but it’s how I am
destined to be” ”I’m not smart enough” “not pretty enough” “I come from the
wrong background”. This allows you the freedom to begin being more
responsible. You would begin noticing yourself make wiser choices about paying
bills, eating working saving Spending your money more wisely and so on. Or
simply aligning your life habits, viewing success more positively and taking that
first step forward
THE SYMPTOMS
HOW TO IDENTIFY LIMITING BELIEFS
Another way of telling or determining that you are being held back by your own
limiting belief or Santa clauses is to have a very honest look
at yourself and why you do things the way you do them, then
of course we all know people who continually engage in self-
destructive behaviour. Friends, relatives, children and work
colleges who do things that run against their own best
interests? If you or someone you know continues to employ
troublesome behaviour even though it consistently leads to a
state of utter misery? Then there is a very good chance that
some limiting belief or fear is holding you back not allowing
you to move forward. In other words (and be honest with
yourself here) if you are repeating bad behavior even though
you know it’s bad and self-destructive.
The person who always dates the same type of loser or
cheater we all know the type of person she is more often than not very intelligent
even excellent at work dresses well seems as they say to have it all together, yet
somehow she always seems to end up with "dead-beat" guys? Then there is the
lonesome fellow who always seems to pick partners that cheat on him he is the
veritable cuckold. Both these people appear to repeat this pattern over and over
again despite any advice or common sense.
Then there are those talented and industrious people we all know, those that you
know if they could only break the mold, shift the pattern, would be millionaires
based on their talent alone perhaps you or someone you know is a singer and artist
a standup comedian or someone you know would be successful in their own
business, you know this because they are always talking about it. Yet when it
comes to doing something about it they can never get the first foot out the door.
While unemployed friends take it easy “living the high life,"

you are industriously hard working, paying living bills, yet
always Struggling to make ends meet. Finally, you begin to
question the wisdom of your behavior and start to visualize a
new job a stepping stone to greater things or running your
business part time just to get things going, Ill build up from
there you say to yourself. Or you say I’ve had enough of this
person in my life I need to move on so you dump him or her,
only to replace them with a "clone” a look-a-like". You end up
in the exact same job in the same industry only in a different
location with a foreman, or manager you despise even more
than the last, you see your new relationship heading down the same path as before
and you begin to feel lost, lonely and not a little afraid.
To everyone else your friends and family and possibly your therapist, the warning
signs are fairly obvious, you’ve done it again you however are oblivious to them.
Have you been telling yourself the same story over and over again, have you been
promising yourself for the last ten years that you will lose 20 pounds, to no avail?
Yet somehow you find that you are never able to adhere to a fitness program. Have
you been promising yourself that you’ll get fit, find a better job, go back to school,
do a course, start that radio show, write a book, make that film, or anything else,
for a very long time now?
You know intrinsically that you can do the things you want to do, you keep telling
yourself that you can, but that’s as far as you get, telling yourself, You don't like
the way you look, you’re not happy with your savings, you keep telling yourself
that tomorrow you will start but tomorrow never seems to come. You don't like the
way you feel. So you keep saying I’ll go to the gym. You are concerned about
health risks, so you tell yourself that giving up smoking or exercising would be the
best thing right now but something stops you from successfully taking that first
step.
You are chronically late with your bills. Are you constantly robbing Peter to pay
Paul and somehow convincing yourself that it will be Ok that your only a week or
a month late, each time this happens do you promise yourself that it won’t happen
again?. Yet that never happens. Something gets in your way? You continue to
create this unpleasant anxiety producing state of affairs? The saddest part is that
you actually know you’re doing it.
You have trouble saying "no". Is it difficult for you to be assertive (not aggressive)
and say “no"? You end up fulfilling the needs or in some cases the demands and
requests of others as your own needs are delayed or go unfulfilled altogether.
Which of our little Santa clauses is it that stops you from developing a healthy
sense of entitlement?
Do you procrastinate? Is it your habit to put things off, this behaviour makes you
unhappy, yet you can't seem to organize yourself to get things started. Believe it or
not procrastination is a very big sign that you may be protecting yourself from
something more on this later for the moment ask yourself (again be honest) What
is really interfering with your capacity to get things done now?
You have difficulty effectively setting and achieving life goals. You know that
your life isn't going the way that you had planned or visualized. Your career goals
are “sort of concrete” yet vague at the same time you are going with the flow and
that flow doesn’t always flow the way you would like.
Your love life is actually sad and you spent at least twenty minutes each day
wishing it was better that “they” would change, or that you had the Moxie to leave,
yet you can't seem to figure out what you want and how to go about pursuing it.
Then you realize, even though you’ve heard a thousand times, read it in numerous
motivational books, seen it on TV and heard it from friends that you never actually
taken the time to sit down and write out your goals.
