On the subject of bonding with your deck, I have a little ritual where, for my first reading with any given deck, I ask the deck to introduce itself to me in a one-card draw. For instance, my first deck introduced itself with the knight of pentacles (that deck also LOVES pentacle cards for some reason) and I usually go to it when I want the straight shit. After the deck introduces itself, I’ll go find the card I identify the most with (it just so happens to be the king of cups) and I set the two next to each other and see how they compare. Idk, I think it’s cute ☺️

Love your take on Tarot. When I am doing a reading for a friend who is either really nervous/anxious about the potential message or someone who is very skeptical about the legitimacy of Tarot, I tell them to try and look at it like a self help card game. The way the cards correlate to your life is going to be up to you to draw those connections. That's why I think Tarot is great as a tool in shadow work. No matter what your question, if you view the cards as a jumping off point to explore your own mind or take into consideration different ideas that you may not come to on your own, than it will feel like a magical experience. Life is magical and that is what Tarot helps me to see.

@runway5338 2 жыл бұрын

That's basically how I use my cards. I don't really set out that intention, but it's how it usually ends up playing out and I love it. It's like a little therapy session or even an intervention lol. It's very confronting since you're being "physically" confronted (since the cards are laid out in front of you) about things that you subconsciously know but are ignoring or avoiding.

Honestly, the idea that you have to be gifted your first deck always felt a little gatekeep-y. Because for that to happen, you have to have someone in your life that either also reads tarot, or is at least cool enough with it to want to give you one, and not everyone has that, especially if you're practicing in secret. It's maybe a little more feasible now that tarot is more mainstream, but yeah.

I have dozens upon dozens of tarot decks. A few have been passed down from family and date back to the early 1700’s. When I get a new deck, I cleanse them with smoke, charge them under a full moon and then sleep with them under my mattress for a bit. This is how I was taught by my mother, taught by her mother and so on. Every deck I own is different in style, art, and feel. I love hearing how others handle their decks. Thank you for sharing, Olivia.

I used to read reversals but now I don't. For every reversed meaning, there is an upright card that can deliver the same message, IMO. Especially when reading for others as I've noticed reversals stir anxiety in those without a solid understanding of the cards. I may go back to reading reversals one day but have really loved not working with them.

Although I've been reading tarot for a while, seeing this video feels like a refresher that my practice is valid but also makes me think about how fucking cool other people's practices are and the differences are what makes all this so beautiful. Thank you for bringing up the negatives. I had recently found a book that goes along the lines of "how to make any reading a positive one" and was geared toward people who sell readings. I was kind of shocked since the "bad" or "negative" cards tend to help me grow the most! Also one more thing, thank you so much for your hard work in this video since it's 30 minutes long, I just know it was so much more editing than usual!

THANK YOU for acknowledging one does not have to record every reading (I read only for me, at this time). I was writing down every one I did, but then I started feeling bogged down by writing down everyone. Now I just do the ones that I feel are most pertinent for me in detail and just record all others.

My tarot deck and I bonded in a really magical way. I was drawn to it from the start, and I was very unsure of myself when I decided to do my first daily reading. The deck guided me, and a card popped out during shuffle. My next few drawings happened similar that way, until I decided to read the "popped out" card and the intuition drawn card, and they both told two sides of a story for me. Over time, depending on what I'm connecting to, how lost or connected I'm feeling, I shuffle, draw, entirely differently. I am so connected to my cards, they always show me and guide me to what I need. Sometimes drawing is painful, sometimes it feels loving. This is such a beautiful experience, they feel like an extension of my soul.

@thegalacticbard Жыл бұрын

Talking about reading "negative" cards - I was in a relationship a little over a year ago, and I asked the tarot the outcome of me staying with this person, and I got Death. Spirit was telling me "If you don't leave this person now, the relationship is going to end anyway later on." and sure enough, it did. And it was a lot harder than if I had just listened to start with. I also had the tarot warn me that I would be manipulated for money by someone I thought I could trust, and because I didn't listen, that person was successful. "Negative" readings have turned out to be the most helpful ones for me because they make me look at the things that I don't want to and actually think and make decisions about them. Pay attention when tarot gives you tough love or tells you something you don't want to hear because it's probably really important.

I end up taking my decks with me to work whenever they ask to come along, many times I don't end up using them that day. They just want to feel like they're a part of my day. They all have their own personalities for sure. It's so rare for me to buy a deck in the first place, so if one comes along and says "PICK ME" I'll grab it then and there. This was a wonderfully put together video Olivia, thank you.

I first started doing tarot readings in middle school with my mom's deck. A few years later she gifted me my own deck which I have used on and off for years. Our styles are different, she reads reversals and I do not. She also reads it as fortune telling while I use it as a way to reorganize my thoughts and look at situations in another way. I do readings when I am stuck on a decision. It feels like I'm asking advice or opinion from a old friend who can see things from an outside prospective. Sadly I am terrible at writing my readings down, I sometimes take pictures but then not look back at them. I really want to get better at that as I feel the readings sometimes get forgotten too soon and the advice is lost when I needed it.

The energy my tarot deck puts out is very kind, but also very blunt when necessary (and sometimes very sassy). I love it so much, and in a way, I feel like my deck loves me too. I was raised in a lot of abuse, so having a deck that is gentle and loves me back (while also being very honest), it's just such a lovely and necessary change of pace in how I was treated for over the first 2 decades of my life. I mean it when I say I love my deck, it has helped significantly improve my mental health since using it (and the art is gorgeous).

I do take my decks with me, I don't sleep with it or keep it on me at all times.

It's interesting! I haven't done much tarot and have not studied it at all really - when I do it, it is mostly referring to the book it comes with and using my intuition and observation skills to ascertain meaning and application of the knowledge/insight it's giving me. My main and favorite deck is... I would say, primarily 'negative' in feel. It isn't warm and fuzzy or super encouraging. I love that, personally. It confuses me most of the time and I have to put in a lot of effort to try to understand the message(s). You, Olivia, have this deck so you'll probably understand exactly where I'm coming from! It's the Murder of Crows tarot deck I also got from the Witches Box! I'm fairly positive that if anyone has this deck and reads my comment, you'll get where I'm coming from when I say it feels 'negative' and kind of obscure. For me, it often feels like it is telling me things based on a bigger picture perspective that I have little sense of. My most recent reading, though, was the first time it was very clear and connected intimately to my current reality, my perspective and not to much from a distant bigger picture... sort of... and the meanings were mostly easy to connect and understand and apply. It was very eeriely connected to a dream I had the night before the reading, and a shadow spirit I saw the evening before (that does NOT happen often in the current house I live in). I have two other tarot decks and at least two oracle decks, too. Maybe one oracle deck and I gifted the other? I don't remember. They're all on my altar shelf, though. If I want warm and fuzzy and positive vibes, I go to my Spirit Song tarot. If I want an enriching message, I add a card or two from my Gaia oracle deck to my readings. I want to learn more about tarot and the system of it all, for sure! Thank you for this video!

When it comes to negative: I was in denial of negative readings for a few months, and then the negative things came true anyway. Ugh, was taught real fast.

I cleanse my deck with the "Reiki chop". I hold the deck in my left hand, draw the power symbol with my right hand then do a horizontal chopping motion like I'm brushing the old energy off it. It's quick and easy if you are initiated into reiki.

Where I live The Magic 8-Ball is taboo so I use The Quick and Easy deck when I'm out of the house because the meaning is on them and it seems to put everyone else at ease.

I like to use the bottom of the deck as well as I’ve seen readers peek at that, as a ‘what’s hidden, or what you don’t see coming, or what you need to do’ corresponding to the spread

thank you Oliver I'm new to the tarot and get very confused by all the information it's like you spend more time doing all sorts of stuff and very little time doing the reading.Theres so much to take in

It does a disservice to my clients by not being honest about what I see in the cards. I have seen some horrifying things, but holding any of it back doesn't actually help me or my clients. I read for people to prepare them and empower them. If I only read positive readings, I would be lying. No one is going to a reader to be lied to and be sugar coated.

I remember being told as a child that my first bible (i was raised catholic) had to be gifted to me...maybe the first deck gifted stemmed from something like that...some christian/judeo belief? I actually was given my first deck by a close colleague. But I gave it to my daughter, at the time not practicing. I eventually bought my first deck after I began practicing and am a devout reader after a year of coming into practicing. Love your video Olivia!! Thank you. --Tess

Haha I really appreciate your content and you made me laugh (all by myself at home). I'm just getting started with things although the more I learn the more I notice I've been doing things all my life and maybe just lost myself to life and it's demands. I appreciate your "it depends" and being reminded of it. I have used osho zen tarot off and on for a couple of years now. When I started to want to get more into witchcraft a couple of weeks ago I purchased a more classic tarot. I read a spread and then usually I leave it on the altar for a week or so coming back to it to think about it. The reverseness of the cards threw me off and I figured I should go back to the osho zen since I know it better. So a week later I did that one again and got a very similar message to what I had gotten earlier with the other one. I noticed I shouldn't doubt myself so much, I use my head too much anyways and need to listen to my intuition. It's nice to get confirmation by your content as well ❤

So the thing you call "Circular shuffling" is actually called an overhand shuffle The one where you fan them out and mix them around on the table, that has a name I'm sure of it, but they do that alot in casinos, because mathematically, it's less predictable, less riggable, because it shuffles more, if you do it well, apparently

Dion Fortune - the renowned occultist - was the person who originally suggested sleeping with your deck under your pillow. Don't do this, you will have an uncomfortable night's sleep. Don't put salt anywhere near your deck - the salt can damage the cardstock. All the myths covered in this video are really persistent - they are self propogating! Brilliant video, there are lots of tarot videos that cover these topics but this is definitely one of the best.
