Tarot Cards
I personaly do not use,nor recommend the use of Tarot Cards.I view Tarot along the lines of a mere child’s game-a game of chance-much like gambleing away your hard earned saveings at a casino.Tarot Cards are a relativly new addition to the world of witchcraft,beginning in late Medival times.They have a dark and shady beginning.Contrary to popular belief Tarot Cards were not originaly used by witches(or gypsy fortune tellers,as they were then called).The Tarot was originnaly used by Devil Worshippers as a means of calling on demons,evil spirits,or to call on the most powerful demon of the all-Satan himself.(Devil Worship is not the same as Satanism,all though it does have many simalarities,and mentions the same demons.)When one truely “reads” a Tarot Card you ask the client to lay down the cards while you ask the spirits to show you a vision; you then tell the vision to the client describing what you saw,making careful note of any personages or symbols that also appear on the Cards;now you ask your client to turn over the Cards.In a successful Tarot Reading the client will turn over the very same cards that you saw in your vision.You will notice that you never touched the Cards-only the client lays out and turns over the Cards,so as to insure that you have not cheated them.(This is the first thing you should look for in a Tarot Reading-only a fake reader will turn over the Cards themself and very few will ever ask the spirits for a vision before seeing the cards-most will ask for a vision after the Cards have been turned over”to translate the cards”-if they even ask for a vision at all!)Most people “read” Tarot Cards by laying down variose cards,turning them over,and telling what the picture on the card means and why it landed where it did.The Tarot was often used by followers of the Devil to predict the futures of thier unssuspecting clients,while secretly calling on evil spirits to carry out curses.Even though Tarot was once a form of “Black Magick”used by followers of the Devil or Satan,most witches today use their Cards with good intensions,and it is rare(nearly immpossable)to find a Witch today that uses Tarot Cards as a means to communicate with evil spirits.As for myself,I don’t pesonaly believe that an instrument of evil is so easily used for good;bad things always happen when a good person with good intestions uses an instrument of evil,even when no evil was intended. The second reason,I have a dislike for Tarot Cards,is that they are the easyest way to tell a real witch from a fraud.Very few Witches actualy use the Tarot.If you see a “witch” useing Tarot Cards you can be sure that they are one of three things:
#1.) This person is a very cunning and convincing fraud,only out to get “easy money” from people who don’t know the differance.It is very easy for practicly anyone to learn how to read Tarot Cards,making card-readings an easy “target market” for scam-artists.Because the client and not the reader must shuffle, cut,lay out,and turn over the deck,you can be absolutly,positively sure that anyone claiming to be able to read your cards over the telephone or via satilite TV,is a one hundred percent bonafied fake.(They may very well be a real psycic and be able to “know” or “see” things about you just by hearing your voice-there are people who can do this-,but they aren’t real Tarot Readers).
#2.) This person is new to Witchcraft and foolishly believes that to be a “good witch” you must be like all those card-reading-scam-artists he/she saw on TV and at the local fairs and malls.These are good people that have been missinformed-their intensions are good and they try hard to give accurate readings,they realy are trying to help people-if they continue to strive for more accuracy and try to hear the voices and see the visions of the spirits then it may be possible for this person to eventualy be able to become a true Tarot Reader and reseeve visions or hear the voice of the Great Spirit.
#3.) This person is one of the rare few who truely is able to read Tarot Cards by seeing visions that the spirits invoke in thier mind.This person may be either a White Witch or a Black Witch,so use caution when consulting with them.Be positive that you are seeking the advice of a White Witch and not a Black Witch.White Witches seek to help people with the assistance of the Great Spirit,Black Witches however often seek to scare people,threaten people with fabulouse tales with sickness,death,and distruction,Black Witches seek the guideance of the Evil One,and often put curses on their clients,without the clients knowlegde.Do not rely on what the Reader tells you either-Black Witches are often quite “vocal” about telling their clients that they are White Witches,in an attempt to decieve them.A White Witch well rarely say that they are a “White” Witch as this is a term that is not often used by real Witches-they well most often use a “title”,such as Psycic, Tarot Reader,Garden Witch,Witch Doctor,Houngan,Mambo,etc.The words “White Witch” are used almost exclusivly by Black Witches,scam-artists,and frauds,who all have one thing in common-they are trying to make themselves sound good so that people will be fooled into trusting them.Beware of anyone claiming to be a White Witch-this ia a slang term that real “White” Witches usualy veiw as offensive.
#4.) This person is one of the rare few Satan Worshipers who also pactaices witchcraft and is able to harness the true powers behind the Tarot Cards-Beware of this person!You may find your life to be in serious danger!
Most people who use Tarot Cards today are not only not Witches,they often only use the cards for their own private use.These people are generaly trying to be very spirutual and are seeking the guidance from “the Great Beyond”.Tarot Cards are often used as a “sophistcated party game” and not taken seriously by anyone there.They are also a common thing in teenage panks,where “the group” will use them to “predict” some event that they have secretly rigded beforehand to scare their “victim”.In recent years Tarot seems to have become a popular fad,especial amoung teenagers.The popularity of Tarot Cards comes and goes in waves,but in spite of their use by the general public,they never seem to be used very often by Witches.I’m afraid that you will find that reading Tarot Cards to not be very glamorous.Many people become quickly disillusioned with them once they realize that without the “spirit visions” Tarot Cards are realy just a game of chance,whose card meanings will easily apply to anyone and everyone.
Making Your own Tarot Cards:
You can easily make your own deck of Tarot Cards(most people befor the 1800′s did).All you need is a pacage of unlined 3″ x 5″ index cards and something to draw with.Drawing is not hard,anybody can do it,it simply takes a lot of focus and mental concentation-something that very few people have which is why they “lack talent”.
