Tarot |
Tarot crads are one of the most popular divination tools used by witches. They have been around since at least the fifteenth century and today there are numerous decks to choose from. Most sets contain 78 cards, with two arcanas (meaning secrets). There are 22 cards in the major arcana and 56 in the minor arcana. The minor consists of four suits, wands, swords, pentacles and cups (the four traditional witches tools!) A reader draws cards, sets them up in a specific pattern and looks at the relationships of the cards (where they sit in that pattern) to give the inquirer insight into specific questions they may have. |
I have always wondered why people use the tarot….. Is it just because they want to know what to look out for? What to watch for in their daily lives? Maybe it is thought of as a sense of power by the user, the power to know what there lives have in store for them. I don’t think so. At least not most users. I believe the tarot is used by people to better understand themselves. To look at a card and wonder…. What has been? What is? And what will be? I believe it makes people look at them selves and their lives, and helps encourage them selves to better their lives. Have you ever though about learning the art of the tarot? It will better your life as long as you use it responsibly. It is not something to take for granted. But when used right, it can be one of the best decisions of your life. Now, this is an article on why people use the tarot, so I’ll stop now. But understand, the tarot can be one of the best things in a persons life. Use it responsibly! |
