Tarot Timing and Timescales for Tarot Spreads
Tarot timing was touched on briefly in my “Clarity of Purpose” article, but I thought it might be a good idea to expand on that particular aspect a little in a separate article. Some Spreads Have Timing Built In A few tarot spreads (such as the “12 Month” and “Letting Go“) have built-in timing and so it is not an issue. Some address the timing interrogatively (such as the “Will I Find True Love?“) and “when” is asked as part of the spread. Most Spreads Do Not So Learn to Set Your Timing as Part of the Question The majority of spreads though, do not have a time factor built…

Protecting Tarot Cards
Protecting tarot cards is not for everyone and there are some readers out there who do not take any special precautions. If that works for you then so be it. It’s not for me to tell you that you’re wrong but I would like to try and get you to reconsider.

Cleansing A Tarot Deck – When and Why
Cleansing a tarot deck and when and why to do so are often asked questions. How to do so is covered in a different article which can be found here.

Very often intuition will start to niggle at you that it is “time.” One thing to bear in mind is that if you have not…

Grounding and Centering
Is it “critical” that grounding and centering be performed before you do a reading? That depends on who you speak to! Whereas I do think it is important to try and be as grounded and centered as possible before reading, I am not sure that that I would agree and that it is an absolute must every time. Grounding and Centering Can Depend on Your Experience Level Grounding and centering and the need to do it rather depends on how experienced or inexperienced you are. Professional Tarot readers build up a natural resistance to negative energies over the course of their professional lives and can ground very quickly when the need…

Clarity of Purpose When Asking a Question of the Tarot
Clarity of purpose when consulting the Tarot is really important, perhaps critically important. If you are new to tarot reading though, you might not understand why. Professional tarot readers will be well aware of the pitfalls of not asking a question clearly. Most experienced amateurs will also have a good idea why. Beginners who simply read for themselves or family and friends may not see the pitfalls. They are not instantly obvious. Some Examples of Badly Phrased Tarot Questions Let’s consider an often-asked question: “Will I find true love? On the face of it, it seems simple and straightforward. Some spreads such as the “Will I Find True Love?” spread…
