Doing a tarot reading through channelling a spiritâs intent:
Spread out your deck, in 2-3 rows, preferably on a bed or floor, or some surface you can sit on as well
Get yourself into a meditative and amenable state for spirit communication, make sure your muscles are relaxed/tension gone
Hold the vessel or signifying item of the spirit close to your most active chakra, sense and focus on their energy, let them know you wish them to channel a reading through you
If you have a specific question or a topic for the spirit, let them know the first one and give them a moment to contemplate
Hold the spiritâs vessel in your palm, using the grip of your thumb to keep it lightly perched there
Hold your arm out straight, palm face down, hovering in the center of the center row of cards. About 15-20cmâs above the cards should do.
Relax. Breath. Ground yourself. Let all tension go. Close your eyes.
Let your arm move in the direction it wants to go, be patient
When your hand starts to hover above a certain card, the vessel may or may not vibrate in your hand. When it wants to fall, let it drop naturally. This will be the spiritâs chosen card
If the vessel doesnât drop, but your hand has stopped moving, that can happen too, let your fingers fall naturally to the card instead
Once a card has been chosen, you can open your eyes, and either look at the card, or continue from the start again with your next question
Some things to keep in mind:
Be as specific as possible with your questions when doing a reading with a spirit, to avoid it being interpreted incorrectly or to avoid an answer that is vague or unclear.
Donât ask things like, âwhat are you feeling?â As the answer to this sort of question can come back to mean a huge variety of things that might not even relate to what the spirit is personally feeling, and might just be what they are witnessing or experiencing from you or their surroundings
Make sure to give the spirit time to mull over the question and to actually choose a card to answer it, otherwise risk getting an incomplete or completely invalid reading
Keep in mind that when doing a reading with a spirit, often it is a fraction of their thought that is channelled into the card, it may or may not be a direct answer to your question, and is often merely an observation in regards to something related, so make sure to listen to your gut instinct and intuitionÂ
Stay away from traditional card meanings as much as possible, and try to intuitively read each card the spirit pulls. They may choose a card for itâs appearance, or some small bit of symbolism that they feel best relates to the message they want to relay to you, which may or may not be visibly relevant to the question you have asked. This is by far the most challenging part, and why I always back up tarot readings with pendulum and astral work
Donât get hung up on the ânegativeâ cards, generally in my work with spirits I find they tend to pull cards of observation and guidance pertaining to you, and less about them personally, and especially if they are a spirit companion, they are very in tune with your emotions and energy and will wish to assist and support you best they can
Another thing to note is how highly aware spirits are, above our awareness, they are not privy to the sort of emotional ups and downs that humans are, for the most part. Thatâs not to say they donât experience emotions, or strong emotions, just that they are generally more stable and clear headed about things
Also it is a good idea to back up the results with another form of spirit communication, to make sure the reading was as valid and true as possible. Sometimes the readings donât come through true at all, or are weak, or the spirit is new or not fully there to channel the readingÂ
Another word of advice is to do the readings yourself this way if this is a spirit you personally work with, another diviner might not be able to channel their energy as accurately, or even be so welcome to do so
