Grounding Techniques
Different Grounding Techniques I mentioned grounding techniques and centering in an earlier article and why it was so important but didn’t discuss methods. There are many grounding techniques around and I will do my best to cover the main ones in these articles. This is my first installment of methods for you to try. Meditation One of the simplest techniques to use is meditation. That word alone makes many people cringe, and also makes them think that they need to take classes in how to do it, wear special clothes, sit on a special cushion and so forth. Nothing could be further from the truth. The well-known teacher Ram Dass…

Which Tarot Cards Mean Fear?
The Tarot Cards of Fear Which tarot cards mean fear can vary from reader to reader as you might or might not expect. If that surprises you then you must remember that no card meaning is sacrosanct, and many readers will have meanings that are personal to them. Some cards are more likely than others to be common to most readers though, and it is those that are covered here. Fear, unfortunately, is something that will cross the path of most people at some time during their life. It’s not pleasant and it can be hard to deal with, but it’s there and usually there is no option but to…

Please Note…
Important! We are in the process of changing our Tarot Time shopping cart over to a more modern system and it will take a little while I’m afraid so please bear with us while we work. If you came to us from a search engine it is quite possible that you ended up on a page that was part of the old shopping cart and is no longer functional although it is currently still in existence. As everything gets changed over these non-functioning pages will gradually disappear. In addition we are redesigning some of our existing pages and you may notice that (for example) that two tarot card pages have…

The English Magic Tarot
The English Magic Tarot Review I collect tarot cards and the English Magic Tarot cards got my attention as I was browsing through Amazon. The artwork was eye-catching and so was the price – just $10.60! That alone made it worth a closer look as you don’t get much for that sort of price nowadays. I thought “why not?” and promptly ordered them. The cards arrived in a high-quality box and I eagerly opened it to see exactly what I had bought! A nicely printed paperback book of 149 pages (160 if you include the non-numbered pages!) was inside. It contained descriptions and interpretations for all 78 of the cards. I…

Cleansing Tarot Cards
How to Cleanse Tarot Cards Cleansing your tarot cards and how to do so will often come down to your own personal belief system. As long as the cleansing works all is well. Why it is necessary may also hinge around what you believe. Personally, if I encounter any of the instances covered in this previous article, cleansing is a must. There are many ways you can accomplish this and personally I don’t believe that there is any single right way to do it, or for that matter, any wrong way. If you have no strong personal preference, then simply try the various methods listed below and see if any…

New Tarot Quiz Format!
New Tarot Quiz Format! I have recently come across a new WordPress plugin for quizzes which I think is a considerable upgrade from the one I was using. Unlike the old plugin the new plugin has the following quiz format features: Auto-scroll between questions Randomized questions Randomized answers Correct answer indication when you are wrong (A much requested feature!) I will be backconverting the old quizzes to the new format when I have the time to do so. The old ones will disappear one by one. In the meantime, please be patient! Paul (Admin)

Think You Know the Minor Arcana?
How Well Do You Know the Minor Arcana? Think You Know The Minor Arcana? Then take the quiz and find out! Learning the tarot is not always as straightforward as people think. It may look easy and books often imply just that but to get the most from your readings you need to understand the subtleties of the minor arcana.

Am I Cursed with Bad Luck?
Am I Cursed? “Am I Cursed With Bad Luck?” is a question we have been asked quite a few times in recent years. Three clients have recently come to us with that very question, so I think it is time I posted something on Tarot Time about it. In each case they had been told by a reader that they were cursed and bad luck would follow them unless they did something about it. One person had already handed over $1000 to have the curse lifted and another had paid for several spells to be cast on her behalf . The third had been asked for $500 but had not paid…

Advice on Tarot Cards That Fall from the Deck
Tarot Cards That Fall or Jump There can’t be a tarot reader in existence who has not at some time suffered from tarot cards that fall from the deck. That or a tarot card jumping from the deck, while shuffling or dealing. What you do about that card? Or cards if more than one jumps? They can have a profound bearing on the quality of your interpretation. Professional Advice Helped Like a lot of tarot readers, the vast majority of my study was self-taught. However, long ago when I was first beginning to read, I had the benefit of talking with a professional reader. I am not very physically coordinated at times,…

More on Single Card Pulls and When They Are Useful
Single Card Pulls Redux I have had a few people contact me in response to an earlier article I wrote on one card pulls. They were concerned that they would be doing it the “wrong” way if they continued to use single card pulls as often as they did. Now I am a firm believer in one size does not fit all. It rarely does. Just because I tend to use a Celtic Cross rather than a single card does not mean that you must. My article was mostly aimed at making a reader think about what was being asked of a single card. Particularly an inexperienced one. Was the question appropriate for…

The Golden Tarot
The Golden Tarot Review This Golden Tarot review will hopefully persuade a few of you to try these interesting tarot cards out. No deck is going to please 100% of the people 100% of the time, of course. But this deck not only caught my eye but everyone I have interacted with who has seen it or used it really liked it. So, on with the Golden Tarot deck review. The Artwork There was clearly a lot of thought put into the choices that were made for the Golden Tarot artwork. Also, considerable effort was made to produce high-quality, beautiful images in the first place. All the images look like they…

How to Shuffle Tarot Cards
How to Shuffle Tarot Cards and How to Cut Them How to shuffle tarot cards and cut them is perhaps not a straightforward as you might think! I was asked recently by a visitor if she “had” to shuffle and then cut her cards as so many sites she had visited recommended that this was always done. She wanted to know if she could go with her gut feeling rather than follow a rigid protocol. My answer was basically “yes” because I don’t believe there is just one right way of shuffling and cutting. I do recommend that tarot cards should be shuffled prior to doing a new reading but how long…
