My Recommendation: Download The Orphalese Tarot and Oracle Software.... Choose one of the versions available... Comes with 2 Decks and 3 Spreads.... Version 10   ...

How I Connect With The Cards...

The Way I Connect with the Cards, the messages as individuals for each person. Knowing that each person is so different from another... I understand that everyone is different, All Readers read differently. They may use tools or no  tools . They may use Cards, Runes, I-Ching, Tea-leaves, palms and crystals.. You may even find a reader that connects with jewelry. There are so many ways a reader will read for a client. Even card readers read differently from each other, Some use Tarot, Oracle, or even Lenormand Cards, Others will use playing cards, they use specifically for Readings. You may find some readers read the cards to set meanings and others use them as Gateways to connect with their Spirit Guide to receive individual messages.  There is no One Correct way. There are no blanket rules in regards to how a reader should read.  You may find some readers connect to the Angels and Archangels before and during the reading.  You may find  Tarot and...

Angel Tarot by Travis McHenry

Image
 I wanted to revisit this Tarot deck. I have had it for awhile but really not worked with the Angels and Archangels in this deck So I wanted to begin by getting to know each of them slowly .. Taking my time  to explore  each card ..   Separating the deck into the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana into their suits I began by looking at the Six Archangels with Gold Typing for the Archangels ... These cards are not in any particular order but resonate for the creator with those energies .   Then Day Two   I pulled out the cards 0 The Fool  to 7 The Chariot .... and looked at the Angels of these cards and how they connect to the tarot Meanings ... the way I can use these cards directly with knowing the Tarot keywords or  by looking at the Archangels and Angels  and looking at the keywords and using what  stands out in that moment ... Doing a spread and seeing how the cards merge together in a reading ...  Before I continu...

Deep Dive - The Hoodoo Tarot

Image
 I want to dive deep into  The Hoodoo Tarot by doing some spreads and looking at each card by diving into each image.. What do I see in that moment?   This will be a slow journey and may take some time to work through.,. This is so personal  as the readings will be for myself ... Let us begin with a single card ... Today's message for reflection .. Three of Knives  This Tree is bare except for what appears as bottles hanging from the branches ... a person sits by the base of the tree... in shadow form so unable to see exactly who it is...  a dog  in front of what appears as a gravestone .. Is this within a cemetery? Is this at dusk?    This speaks of a heartbreak  that seems a moment of despair, at this  time. There seems to be no hope that lies ahead...   It is a sorrow that is so deep that it lies within the Soul.  It feels like the world has betrayed everything you believed in... A Lost loved one,  This i...
