Templar Tarot Box ...

The Fool
New Beginnings,
free-Spirited 
The Magician
Looking beyond the Illusion 
High Priestess
Hidden Secrets Revealed 
The Empress
Motherhood, Nurturing,
 Bounty and Abundance 

Looking at the imagery of the deck, I was disappointed it had not a real connection to the Knights Templar, even though it had all the possibility of being weaved through Knights of the Templar History, I found the imagery more Angelic in its design ... The Artwork is lovely and yet even with some of the darker imagery I still find it works really well on an Angel Vibration ,

I find when I work with this deck in quiet reflection, meditation it is the Angels that speak not the Knights of the Templar.
The Back of The cards
One design ... 


The Imagery Though  is really quite in-vocative  I find it real hard when doing a large spread to see the numbers or the words written , they are what appears Self-embossed and the labeling is all over the place, some of the cards have numbers at the top while others at the bottom, inconsistency makes it difficult sometimes to see what the cards are ... It has taken me awhile to get use to the imagery ...
4 Of Wands
A Temporary Pause .
A Chance to Review ..
Two of Cups
Relationship beginning,
Give and Take, balance 


4 of Swords
Resting, taking time out,
reviewing Plans, ideas... 

10 Pentacles
Coming together,
Richness appearing on
Your Path ... 


Some of the Imagery is similar to Rider Waite Smith while others bring something different to the picture ....  You can see the Knight of Swords,  the Templar Cross on the Knight's Vest... armour .. there are small references to the Knights of the Templar in some cards ..That are obvious ... .
Page of Pentacles
Youthful energy that
thinks about health
and finances ... 
Knight of Swords
Young Man rushing
into Battle,
Has he made a plan,
Thought about a strategy?  


Queen of Cups
Nurturing, kind, artistic,
Emotional  
















King of Wands
Mature Man, Entrepreneur ..
Passionate, motivated, creative
A lust for life ...
Driven to achieve results ..

Overall I love working with this deck but if you are expecting it to be filled with imagery from History, you may find yourself disappointed .... 

I find it works from an Angelic Viewpoint ....  as I find the imagery very Angelic ...

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

Everything is coming together, joined, merged, everything is perfect, for the

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

Mists of Avalon Oracle Tarot Entry

-
Image
Today's Reading I decided to use Mists of Avalon for some reflection and used a Five card spread from the Guide Book ... I shuffled and Laid out the cards in the spread.... 1) Present Situation - The Isle of Avalon 2) The Past- Igraine 3) The Future Cerridwen 4) Hidden Influences- Priestess of Avalon 5) Possible Outcome - Nimue  My Summary   comes from the Words that stood out from around the card... Each card has four words relating to it on the card itself.  We look at what is happening right now, as we sense a period of resting and renewal, a healing from within... In the past it was about the acceptance of what was, looking forward to what is possible with inspiration that brings transformation on many levels. It is possible It comes from Ancient Knowledge and Divine Inspiration that may influence you at this time, bringing new opportunities, a sense of confidence, which builds self-esteem and also a mutual respect.  When looking at these cards you may find mess
