Tarot for beginers....

in #tarot7 years ago

Hi every one today we are going to learn an over view of the Tarot. I have been studing Tarot now some 35 years and am now keen to share all I know here on steemit.

For today and the first of the Steemit based lessons we have an over view of the cards and the basic spreads that we will study over the coming 78 days. Please feel free to send me a message and please vote this post if you have an interest.

The major Arcana:
There are 22 cards in the Major Arcana from the 0 card or the fool to the 21 card the world card. Week by week we will be examining each card present till we have a full deck of definitions and spreads.

looking forward to see more of this

Thanks evie5el will keep you posted thanks for the encouragement.

So, this was short and full of pictures...

I would think that an over view of Tarot would include something about it's practical use and purpose... rather than a few sentences about the Major Arcana.

35 years, you say?

Well ok yes I have been rushed putting this post out and yes 35 years do you have any questions? I am more than happy to answer any thing

What's the practical purposes and uses of Tarot?

:)

So that is such an interesting question, I have found Tarot to be a great meditation tool in the ways and symbols of the mind. By this I mean that when you follow through the archetypal language of the Tarot and the cycles we as a race share we open a dialogue with the mind being one of pictures and impression and feelings. This allows a vivid picture to form in the mind and an alphabet of the conscious and the sub conscious to crystallize.
In looking to the practical value in Tarot we find both the divintory aspect and the flushed out manifestation of the cycles that play out in our lives starting to furnish our understanding of this reflection on the material plane. So to sum this up through this tool we learn ourselves and our universe in a macro-Cosimo micro-Cosimo duality inside ourselves and outside ourselves.
you can use tarot for personality types to understand your loved ones or work colleges to say seeing what would be an auspicious
time to apply for that job for instants.
