My Thoughts and Opinions

Today's Mystikal Lenormand Layout

There are many ways to read this Spread.. Trust in how you choose to read it . This is one variation ...  Let us begin  by looking at the centre card 1) The Rider - News .. there is some news on it's way, what type of News, let's see what the other cards say, to modify the card related to the News ...  We look to the Left and we see Letter - so we know the news may be written .. To the right A Woman - is the written news from a woman or to the woman?    Above The Stars - maybe it is Spiritual  News on some level ...  Underneath - The Bear - Could be related to a Mother or are you the Mother... Is the news in regards to strength or protection on some level ?   Now let's look at the four corners-  The Scythe  With the Rider and the Road  So maybe it is important you let go of something so you can make a decision in regards to the news?   You have Key Rider and Clover ... T he News may be the key to some Good fortune .. ..  Let us look at the

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 other Card readings sim

Understanding the messages within A few of the Cards

Image
Let us begin with the notion that  the cards are ink and paper, created by artists who wish to share a story. The Story developed over time with characters, symbols, colours. Images that allow one to open up within themselves. These are cards that offer both positive and negative aspects of our life.  Each and every card holds both types of messages within them.  I know there are cards like XVI The Tower and XV The Devil  that people gasp at horror and expect negative messages,  X Swords, III Swords are also images that hold people in terror,,, and because of movies  XIII Death  people  think it means Death ....Literal death. In this post I am going to explain the positive messages of these cards.  Let us begin with XII Death... This card only speaks of Transformations, changes, a sense of purification, Spiritual and healing. Letting go of the negative aspects of life and moving into the light (so to speak) , Moving forward as you leave behind the past.   This can be a good

Why Do Readers Read Cards Differently?

Image
Each Deck is so Different .. There are many different Tarot decks designed by many different amazing individuals… Every deck is perfect in it’s own way… Some images speak louder than others, that is because we as readers are all very different, we are individuals that like and are drawn to different artwork… Also our thoughts processors are individualized.  Our perceptions are individualized.  No one sees the same image in the same card. Different colours, characters, symbols stand out for each of us. That is why you will find different Tarot readers deliver the same messages in a different way.  And sometimes it can take awhile to make sense of a reading.. We as Tarot Readers have to interpret what we see… With our experiences in life so different from each other we interpret things quite differently… I understand there are suggestions in how we read Tarot and there are basic keywords ,  trying to memorise what someone else sees can drive one crazy… I find what works for one re

The Fool's Journey Through The Wands ....

Image
The Fool, The Student of Life, The Novice, The Young Adventurer, The Dreamer, The Prankster, The Joker ....as He steps out of the darkness into the light, along a path of gravel, He steps through the grass and sees a lone tree ... He suddenly gets this spark of an idea, a plan of something creative he needs to achieve,  He begins to feel this inner drive, this awakening.... So he looks ahead, trying to decide how he will achieve his passion....Which path to take... He sees a lone rider with two Camels ... He looks up and sees the Crescent moon lighting the way ahead .... He Turns and sees three Women Surrounded by Golden lights Chanting.... He Stands and listens ... He hears the story of hope, wishes and dreams from the Ancestors.  About expansion, growth that lies ahead ... if only he could take those steps forward,.... He decides to follow them ... They lead him to the beach, there he sees a Man carrying a large egg while a Mother Bird flies in to stop the Man.... The Fool wa

Shadow aspect spread

Image
 I was reading an issue of Cartomancer I had just purchased and the first thing I read was an article about Solar Eclipse Shadow work ..   A spread was  created by the author so I thought I would try it ..  Taking the  3 Major Arcana Cards out of the pack and laying them with the Sun and Star at the top and the Moon directly below the Sun ..  Shuffling and at first drawing 3 Cards  Laying them between the Sun and the Moon Cards.  Thinking about a positive experience I may have had negative thoughts too . .   I pulled out The Fool, Three of Wands and Five of Cups ...   With the keywords on each of the cards  Change, Communication and Grief  Which I thought was very interesting at this time...   Dealing with a loss on some level there had been some changes and I need to look at how I needed to communicate at the time,,,  But lets dive a little deeper into each card  with my own knowledge of the cards ...  The Fool , looks at new beginnings, new possibilities, having fun, being free-spi
