Tarot Talk: Intuition and Energy in a Tarot Reading
Initially, the cards were made for general entertainment and only gained deeper interpretative meanings over long periods of time.
This gives rise to the question of whether the cards were already filled with hidden meanings and people were simply unaware of them or to whether people later realised they could make use of the cards to further express themselves and gave them their own meanings and symbolism.
The latter interpretation involves a person's natural ability for intuition and how the cards could enhance or provide an outlet for this skill.
There are 'spiritual' powers or extra natural 'abilities' that people can acquire or possess which are relevant to the working of a diviner.
These include psychic abilities as well as intuitive capabilities.
The psychic world is a radical one with several gifts.
Some may have extraordinary gifts of hearing, some of smell or taste, as well as of perception.
The normal senses, as we understand them, and use them are believed to transcend to a higher level, beyond the ordinary, when in the tarot reading room, and these are heightened for the purposes of giving readers their messages.
We can focus on that intuitive and psychic world and how these have a role to play in the tarot room.
Interestingly, one can be taught the art of intuition. Some already possess these traits but are unaware of their hidden skills.
In tarot reading it is important to learn how to tune into and become more conscious of perceptions.
In the next post we will consider how tarot reading involves the development and use of a person's natural intuitive abilities.
We will consider the use of 'psychic' abilities involved in tarot reading and how they are used to interpret the cards.
We will also consider how the idea of energy is used and interpreted in the practice of tarot reading.
