Doing a Tarot reading with two or more Tarot decks was one of the most fascinating experiences I have had in my entire career as a professional Tarot card reader. Not only was it more illuminating, but it was also challenging and interesting for the client.
The book Past Life and Karmic Tarot by Edain McCoy is part of the ‘Special Topics in Tarot’ series of books published by Llewellyn. Many among us who believe in the concept of reincarnation and past life, want to explore the different past lives that we have led, and understand the various Karmic lessons that we are meant to learn in this lifetime. Using the Tarot cards to do readings to gain this kind of insight is a great idea.
The Ancient Egyptian Tarot Deck by Clive Barrett (or the AET, as it is often called in the Tarot world), has been one of my most favorite Tarot card decks. Ever since I bought it many years ago, I have been in love with it! 🙂 So, it is with great pleasure that I am going to write a review of this amazing Tarot card deck today!
The Devil card is yet another card that tends to scare people whenever they see it pop up in a Tarot card. Some people might find the image on the card scary, while some may feel its implications to be very frightening. However, the Devil card is neither evil nor frightening.
So what does the Devil card really stand for? Lets have a look.
The Death card is one of those cards that tend to scare people whenever they see it in a Tarot card reading. Naturally, most everyone is scared of death – either for themselves or for their loved ones. And every single time this card pops up in a reading, I end up telling my clients that this card doesn’t really talk about actual physical dying.
So what does the imagery of the Death card really talk about? Lets find out.
The Tower Card is one of the few cards in a Tarot card deck which can seem to be very scary. I find that when I get this card in a reading, my clients are often terrified by the image on this card. But I always end up telling them not to be scared or worried about this card because although it looks scary enough, it might not that bad a situation.
First in my series of articles about scary looking Tarot cards, today lets have a look at The Tower Card, and understand why and how this card isn’t all that bad after all.
The Chariot card in the Tarot deck is often linked to the story of Oedipus, a Greek Myth about a king who fulfilled a gruesome prophecy by killing his own father and subsequently marrying his own mother. Sigmund Freud has also immortalized this story by coining the words ‘Oedipus Complex’ to define an unconscious desire within the mind of a boy to kill his father and marry his mother.
Reading Tarot cards for friends, family members, strangers and even yourself, is a process in itself. However, once you get going, one of the things you begin to wonder about is how to increase the accuracy of your Tarot card reading.
While there isn’t a quick-fix method to increase the accuracy of your Tarot card reading, there are some ways (its a process really) in which you can slowly, but surely, get to that point.
The Mythic Tarot deck is themed around Greek Mythology. With all kinds of stories from Greek Mythology converging in both the Major and Minor cards, it makes sense that this is the deck to have if you are a big fan of Greek Myth. Conversely, it also makes sense that this deck is not for those who aren’t fond of Greek myths. But, if you are looking to get a great head start into the subject, and especially via the route of the Tarot, then it is an absolute must to have this deck with you!
