Tarot Quizzes!
Tarot Quizzes from Tarot Time Those of you who are regular visitors will have noticed that we now have a brand new section in our Tarot Time categories – “Tarot Quizzes.” We have been discussing the possibility of including quizzes as part of Tarot Time for a while now and although it wasn’t something we had planned on doing quite so soon we have decided to go ahead and start. Right now there is just the one quiz based on the Major Arcana but over the next few weeks we will be adding new quizzes until we feel that we have achieved a good representational selection to test your knowledge…

One Card Pulls
Should you or shouldn’t you use one card pulls to do a reading? The answer is far from being black and white particularly for beginners. Most people when starting off reading tarot cards will find a spread that suits the question or situation they have and then they will pull the cards required to use it. The trouble is that even with multiple definitions (such as the ones we have at Tarot Time) it is very difficult for learners to turn those definitions into a useful and meaningful interpretation. As a result many will resort to using a single card instead. If that sounds like you then that is when…

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. If you are one of those readers, you might want to try protecting your tarot deck and see if the accuracy of your readings improves! I have known several professional readers who tried using a box or a bag and they found their readings became more accurate. It might not change anything for you but for the sake of a…

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. I will deal here with the “when” first and the truth is there’s not really any set time after which it is advisable to clear and cleanse a set of Tarot cards. The timing will vary as so much will depend on what you have been doing with them reading-wise or what has happened to them. 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…

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…
