from: Understanding Tarot Cards And How They Work
People have long been fascinated by Tarot Cards. Ridiculed by
many and revered by others, the idea of being able to predict an
individual's future by reading the symbols on cards continues to
generate interest because of the mysticism that surrounds them.
This article is aimed at someone who has an interest in the
subject but has very little knowledge. The aim is to help you to
understand more about what happens when you visit a fortune
teller. The article intends to explain the different kinds of
card decks that might be used and some of the more common
methods of arranging the tarot cards.
Choosing the Cards:
The purpose of Tarot Card reading is to gain a foresight in to a
person's future by using the tarot cards as a tool to tap into a
spiritual energy. This process is known as divination. If you
decide to visit a fortune teller they will be using one of three
sets of tarot cards.
The most common set of cards is the Rider-Waith deck. These are
recognizable by the simple but highly symbolic drawings on the
face of the cards. Based up on early versions of the tarot card,
the use of color can determine the outcome of a card reader's
predictions. A fortune teller may also use the Book of Thoth or
the Mythic Tarot decks. The Thoth deck is influenced by the
signs of the zodiac and astrology, the imagery used in the
Mythic deck is heavily influenced by Greek mythology.
Card Arrangements:
When you visit a fortune teller, they will firstly shuffle the
cards and then lay them down in front of you in a specific
format. There are a number of ways in which this can be done.
Below are just a few of the more common methods of card reading
that you might come across. For each of these arrangements an
initial card will be dealt to indicate what the question being
asked is. This is often referred to as the significator.
One common arrangement is called the Horse-shoe method. The
fortune-teller will lay out seven cards in a half-circle and
then turns them over left to right. The imagery on the cards
provides answers to important questions on a person's history
and their future life as well as issues of conscience.
The Tetractys approach lays the cards out in four rows in the
shape of a pyramid. Each row signifies one principle element
(Fire, Water, Air and Earth). The card at the top of the pyramid
is the significator and this in turn relates to each of the
other cards in a specific and distinct way.
Perhaps the most common arrangement is the Celtic Cross. The
card reader will place six cards face down in the shape of a
cross next to four more placed vertically. Another card is
placed down over the cross to signify an important issue or
event that the person must address in their life. The central
card in the cross is the significator and the next one along
will indicate conditions that relate to the key question.
Hopefully this article has been of use to you. Should you decide
to visit a tarot card reader you now have the knowledge to
understand what type of cards they are using and the method that
they use to interpret the cards.
