#divination tip

Let’s take a deep dive into one of my favorite topics: How to Ask Better Questions in Tarot!

I put “wrong” and “right” in quotation marks here because of course how you choose to read is entirely up to you! There is absolutely room for yes/no questions in Tarot and many situations where these type of questions can be useful. This post is meant to help if you’re looking to dive a little deeper or if you’re searching to find more empowerment with your readings. Asking more helpful questions is definitely something that I struggled with as a beginner so I figured some of you might find this useful!

Remember, this can be applied to many other forms of divination too and doesn’t just apply to Tarot.

I hope that some of you find this helpful. As always, I am available for readings or divination lessons so feel free to reach out if you have any questions! 🔮

The best way to learn is by doing. Read for yourself, friends, family, strangers. The more practice you have the more you will understand.

You don’t need to memorize the cards before you start--infact, many decks will have varying meanings and additional interpretations of the same card.

The cards are multi-faceted. There is never just one right answer or one true meaning. 

Your deck is never being mean to you. You’re interpreting the cards harshly because that’s how you’re treating yourself in this situation. Be kinder with yourself, and you will find the advice, truth, and solutions in the cards no matter how negative they might seem

Tarot is for advice. It doesn’t have all the answers, but it gives you the tools to find them. Use it for introspection and preparation. 

Your intuition is your greatest tool. Trust yourself and the messages you receive.

Symbolism in imagery will be different in every deck of cards you buy. It’s all important! Buying and using a new deck is like re-learning the tarot all over again.

It’s possible that you may never stop learning--the tarot and your perception of it will change over time. 

You can shuffle any way that feels right. There are so many different ways to get the same result.

Trusting yourself is the best way to ensure an accurate reading

If your reading feels wrong, perhaps you lost focus, or perhaps you’re not ready to understand it yet. It doesn’t mean you failed.

This practice will open your intuitive and introspective skills

If you don’t connect with the art style or descriptive style of your deck, you probably won’t connect with the messages either. That’s okay--it’s just not the one for you.

Learning tarot is like learning the cards, astrology, numerology, symbolic meaning, color symbolism, mythology, and folklore all in one. Take your time, be open to possibility.

You don’t need to be gifted your first deck--if you want to believe in that school of thought, go ahead! But if it doesn’t work for you, just buy your own.

Tarot cards are not inherently magical. The magic is in your hands and in your mind, and you bring the cards to life.

Anyone can practice tarot!

You’re doing great! Keep up the good work

If a specific card keeps popping up in your spreads, or if it keeps falling out of the deck, if it is always the first one you draw no matter HOW much you shuffle, it is a sign. With tarot, everything is a sign.

Yay! I finally hit 100 followers! Here’s a fun little spread to celebrate with

1-financial advice

2-strict advice (listen wisely to this card!)

3-self care advice

4-self critique

5-something to be careful about

Have fun with this one! Hope you enjoy it

When at the beach, or from your shell collection, find two shells of the same kind. Evenly sized. Scallops, clams, cockles, cowries, ark clams, round shaped shells would work best. Toss them in your hand like a dice, whilst thinking of your question. The question needs to be answered with yes, no or maybe. Once you feel ready, toss the shells upwards, lightly, and let them fall on to the sand or a soft surface. Here is how to determine the answers:

Yes - Both shells have the mouths facing upwards.

No - Both shells have the mouth facing downwards.

Maybe - the shells are uneven. One mouth facing down, the other facing up.

How to find your rhythm with your Tarot Deck

Happy new year to everyone! I’m glad to be sharing this tip and I waited because I’m sure a lot of people got new decks for the holidays.

Tarot has a ridiculous amount of variation in the deck style and variables for the meanings. Some are pip decks, some marssaille some rider Waite smith, and each book that comes with the meanings is slightly different.

When you get a new deck, I always do an intro spread just to get a little familiar with it. But then begins the fun.

Do a Daily pull, first thing in the morning, and if you don’t have time to interpret, take a picture of it. Just ask “What does my day have in store?” Write down your first impression of the card, and every once in a while look at the picture throughout the day.

At the end of the day, compare your first impression, the text book meaning and think about your day. This exercise helps you figure out where on the spectrum your readings are.

Was it kinda vague, was it about someone else, was it closer in meaning to your interpretation, or the book, was it super literal and you found yourself naked collecting water at a stream near a fallen building?

Just do this for a week, even if you’re old hat and in a rut. It can help revitalize your passion, recalibrate your intuition, and make you more confident in your readings by giving context to these elusive cards.
