How to Care for Your Tarot Deck

1/23/2019

I love my Tarot Decks. I believe every Tarot reader has a way of enjoying doing readings. First off, I do not like rules very much. With that said, how you treat your deck is up to you. I will encourage you to follow your heart and your feelings for they will never steer you in the wrong direction. I do not agree with many theories that suggest there are “have to’s” for taking care of a deck. I will share with you the ways in which I treat and care for my deck and you can find a way that works for you and your lifestyle.
 
First, let’s address the theory that they need to be stored in a specific location or in a certain type of setting such as a silk cloth or a box. I have a favorite deck that I use for most of my readings. I store my cards in a cloth bag and carry them with me almost everywhere that I go. I find the bag to be appealing, energetic and I love the way it looks! Others store their cards in a box, wrapped in a silk cloth, on an altar, etc… Do what feels right. I find a sacredness in my Tarot deck, yet it is only a tool. You have everything you need within you. You decide how you would like to BE with this tool. Sometimes I even place a crystal on top of the deck to amplify the vibe of energy.
 
Second, there are the ways of shuffling. I personally shuffle the deck in a soft manner, using an overhand method. Here is a link for this terminology, thanks to WikiHow. https://www.wikihow.com/Shuffle-a-Deck-of-Playing-Cards
I find this method to mix the energy into the cards. That is all you are doing when you shuffle. Your energy is attracting like energy (law of Quantum Physics - like energy attracts like energy). Each card has a vibration of energy that matches your vibrations and frequencies of energy. Some people like to use the Rifle method. I find this method scatters the energy, which is great to mix up the cards but I find it to be more of a disruptive motion. Find your own way. When I am doing readings, I let people shuffle however they choose. You may be surprised how many people claim to not know how to shuffle cards. Encourage them to do their best. It is really the feeling that you are done shuffling that determines the reading. For this part, you must trust in yourself and the Universal Laws that are always working behind the scenes. Shuffle until you are done, not before, not after. There are no mistakes, only precision on the part of The Universe.
 
Lastly, I would like to address if others should be allowed to touch your cards. YES! I want others to be responsible for the messages they receive. Using the Tarot is a way to empowerment. The subtleties of empowerment start with the shuffle and discovering that you can do this for yourself. You can shuffle and become the observer of cards that relay information. Any chance you get to help someone empower themselves is a blessing. The reading is really a message from one’s Higher Self or Soul Essence. When able, have the querent shuffle their own cards. If I am reading for someone over the phone, and they do not own a deck to shuffle, I will shuffle for the querent. I ask my Higher Self to touch into the querent’s Higher Self so that I can get out of the way of the frequencies of energy present. I have built a lifetime of trust and acceptance that my Higher Self knows better than I do. I “kick it upstairs” to the Higher powers that be.
 
The best way to care for your Tarot Deck is your way. What you think and believe will make it so in your reality. Make sure your thoughts align with who you are and your Eternal Essence and all energy will flow with love and light.

Judgment

Judgment helps you to define why you are here and what you are supposed to be doing. How often have you wondered about your purpose and the meaning of life and why things happen the way they happen? Do the answers come readily to your mind, your heart, and your spirit? Do you find the answers hidden in your body? Do you hear with your extrasensory perception the calling of the Gods, the guidance of your Soul Essence, the compassion of loved ones on the other side? Judgment allows you to connect in these ways to receive information from the Universal Consciousness through many forms of expression.

Today, listen to the connections that are around you and within you. Your responsibility for this lifetime, this moment, lies in your ability to tap into the everlasting eternity of the NOW. When you can flow with the Universal forces and utilize the natural laws you will know who you are and why you are in every situation of life.
​
Judgment is not about being judged for being “good” or “bad.” Judgment is the acceptance that there is no judgment from the Universe. Acceptance of all forms of life and expressions of experiences encompass the whole and the oneness. Come to the unconditional place of acceptance within of who you are and why you are. Now you are ready to hear the messages from Spirit about what is next on your life’s journey. Enjoy the direct connections as you learn to listen from a place of being responsible for your part in the whole.

The Empress

The Empress resonates with the number 3 and The Universe resonates with the number 21, which in Numerology breaks down to a 3 vibration (2+1=3). As 2019 rolls in, this calendar year brings in the same energy of the 3 vibration.

2019  2+1+9=12     1+2=3

This whole year, humanity is influenced by The Empress. In her beauty and regal strength, she encompasses the Divine Feminine Creative Matrix from which all creativity flows. She taps you into your creativity in connection to the entire Universe.

Creativity = Passion in motion

For the year, pay attention to your creative flow. What gives you the feeling of passion and exuding your life force energy? What do you wish to create with your life? These expressions can be as small as doing a jigsaw puzzle and as huge as recreating your personality or writing a book.

All creative energy is Divine Energy.

​When you allow this Divine Energy to flow through you, you embody the Essence of the Goddess. All empowerment energy is feminine. You must receive and be open to this energy. Empowerment is not a “doing” it is a “receiving.” Feel the flow and open yourself to the Creative Matrix where all expressions are possible. Your life is yours to create.

The Moon & Nine of Pentacles

Tarot Cards of the Day, The Moon and Nine of Pentacles

​Together these cards express the synergy of the number “9.” Completion and fullness may be what you are focused on in your every day life. Spiritual union and embodiment of the Soul is what is integrating inside of your being. As daily Tarot cards, you can focus on endings and acceptance. What needs to be finished before the end of the year and its numerological influence? What cycles need to be completed so that you can move forward with fresh energy? How can you accept and integrate the shadow and the subconscious so that you feel whole and complete? The Moon allows you power to let go of fear and to know the fullness of your Soul Essence. The Nine of Pentacles guides you to full acceptance and integration of who you are.
​
The Soul connects to the physical body through the root Chakra so you may notice an expansion of Soul energy flowing through your Charkras today. Pay attention to the subtle movements, like the flow of the tide of the ocean, moving through you and adjusting your frequency to contain more of who you really are. Through self-awareness and self-acceptance, you can own who you are and bring the light of the Soul into your physical vehicle. The gentleness of the Divine Feminine is with you and you will come to appreciate the beauty of feminine energy. Self-empowerment is yours to manifest as the subtle light of The Moon guides you home.

The wisdom of the Soul is filtering through you. You can openly trust and follow the messages from Spirit. You are claiming more responsibility for why you are here and why you have chosen to come into this lifetime. This is Soul responsibility and correlates directly with your purpose. It is important to walk your talk and to be living your own truth. Teach others by the example that you show the world. If you believe in unconditional love then you have to exude love and speak with compassion. If you feel that you help heal others and the planet, then you better be doing just that with your daily thoughts and attitudes. You can only teach and show others by your Example in the world and then people will grant you the respect and appreciation for being a wise Soul.

You are moving from the role of Student to the role of Teacher. The integration process will involve more learning experiences. You may be learning how to teach others to communicate well. You may be learning how to communicate with more effectiveness with your tone of voice and choice of words. Knowing when and how to communicate makes the Teacher grand. The Teacher gains a new level of mastery each time they teach a new subject. When the Student grasps the information through not only their mind but their consciousness, the Teacher has shown them the way of the teachings. Guide those that need advice and understanding. Integrate new frequencies of your own teachings to bring  your mastery to the next level. And above all else, practice the art of communication with speaking and listening.

Gratitude in the Tarot

12/5/2018

​Gratitude is an approach to life. In the Tarot I like to see the reminders to be grateful in all of the Pentacles and most especially at the Aces and Tens. The numerical value of "1" excites energy to be productive and opens so much potential of Self and new opportunities. Some of the more abundant interpretations of the cards are places to explore Gratitude which we see many times in the suit of Earth where manifestation occurs, such as the Ace, Eight, Nine and Ten of Pentacles.

I would like you to explore Gratitude as a way of BE-ing and see how it shows up in The Magician, which is the "1" vibration in the Major Arcana, and many of the other Major Arcana cards. You can always be grateful for the hard lessons and the myriad of expressions of energy. Gratitude is never limited to the material world and can many times show up as feelings and energy expressions even before the thought of Gratitude is communicated. Look to the Wheel of Fortune as a place to be grateful as this vibrates with the "1" and the "0." The Wheel of Fortune can bring us abundance and expansion to new levels and experiences. And let us not forget The Sun vibrating with a "1" and "9," expressing a light of sustenance and nourishment for all.

I AM Grateful to all of you for being a part of this Tarot Journey :)

Today is activated by levels of mastery within you. Your heart and your will power are finding a way to merge. Listen to your intuition today. You will know when and how to take action with the messages you are receiving. Trust in your heart and feelings to be your guide. The doing is effortless as long as you believe in yourself along the way. You may share with others a way of being powerful in a world that does not value feelings as much as actions. Trust that your feelings will be your most powerful guide throughout your life. Your sensitivities are expanding which in turn will allow your energy to become more potent and intense. Stay committed to the journey and faith in your power.

Death and Six of Cups

11/20/2018

These two cards would be great to remember the love and the bonds of relationships that are no longer in your life. Sometimes people forget to celebrate the Anniversary of one’s passing. The Death can be literal or figurative. The transformation of relationships is a major theme for humanity. The incarnation into a physical form changes through time, just as the caterpillar becomes the butterfly. With the passing of a loved one, it is good to remember that the connections through love are still with you, always. Celebrate the passing, as much as you can. Their consciousness, and their love, are still flowing through the Universal web of consciousness. Love never dies, however the vehicle through which love flows will transform. 
​

Today, I celebrate the Death-iversary of my mentor and teacher of the Tarot. Many of his greatest gifts include the living and walking example of compassion, love, and non-judgement. He had dedicated his “caterpillar” life to a path of service. For his brilliant example of how to live life, I am truly honored to have been his student. So a cheers to my teacher, my best friend and the most amazing spiritual sage that I have known. I will spend time talking with you today and learning how to listen with more accuracy to the impressions of communication, love and energy. Thank you and Happy Death-iversary!

Tarot Card of the Day, Six of Swords
If you have a tendency to view scenarios as light and dark, good and bad, then the Six of Swords will help you to unify the mind instead of polarizing your thoughts. Judgement is one of the major downfalls of humanity, yet this is one of the myriad of ways that you learn and grow. The Universe vibrates without judgement and is truly about love. In humanity’s struggle to understand existence and the Creator, people function with dichotomy and polarity instead of unification and oneness. Today, focus on similarities instead of differences. View any disagreements as a means to unify wholeness within and without. Communicate your thoughts so that you can balance the mind. You will be able to speak and listen without having to be right or wrong. Journal your ideas so that you can see how they are interconnecting instead of a whirlwind of separateness.
