Step 9 – Since you read each Tarot card one by one, your eye may be drawn to a single image or symbol. That image may remind you of a word, phrase, or expression. It can create an image or a visual landscape in your mind. It can make you feel hot, cold, or elicit emotional reflexes. In fact, a Tarot card can activate one of your senses: seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, and even tasting. Now, let’s put your reaction into words simply. Don’t worry if it is wrong or right, just express all your impressions of the card. Step 5 – Look at the number attached to each Tarot card. It may indicate that the problem is developing at an early, mid, or late stage.

Smith was the first non-photographic artist to be exhibited at Alfred Stieglitz's Gallery 291. Alfred Stieglitz/Georgia O'Keeffe Archive; Yale Collection of American Literature Waite and Smith shared the Rosicrucian understanding of correspondences, an idea she used to paint pictures that came to mind, whenever she heard music (an ability known as synaesthesia). This, together with her theatrical involvements and travels to Jamaica, may all have contributed to the liveliness and broad range of imagery on the Rider Waite cards. Smith’s colour palette has its own system of correspondences; some of the Rider Waite ‘clones’, such as the Universal Waite, feature alternative colour schemes.

In the Adventure Time miniseries Stakes, one of the members of the Vampire King's court is named after The Fool. Step 2 – Begin by reading the name of the Tarot card aloud. You can say “This card is Queen of Swords” a b Michelsen, Teresa (2005). The Complete Tarot Reader: Everything You Need to Know from Start to Finish. Llewellyn Publications. p.105. ISBN 0738704342.In a minor variant option of French tarot, a player dealt trump 1 but with no other trumps or the Fool can make trump 1 behave the same as the Fool ( petit imprenable). [10] However, in official tournament rules, a player in this situation must declare their hand and force a redeal ( petit sec). In Phasmophobia, The Fool is one of the 10 cards that can be pulled when using the Tarot Cards. When first pulling the card, it appears as a different card, before shortly turning into The Fool and doing nothing. During a Hunt, all cards turn into The Fool, effectively wasting any possible positive effects that could be gained from other cards drawn. [24] An image and its story form a symbol, and the Tarot can be viewed as a book of symbols. As A. E. Waite wrote in The Pictorial Key to the Tarot: “The true Tarot is symbolism; it speaks no other language and offers no other signs.” Or as Willian Gray stated in Magical Ritual Methods: “Magical symbols are fundamental concepts for energy-exchanges between very different levels (or “worlds”) of living.” Graham, Sasha (2018).

Step 7 – Then describe the shape or character in the card. Describe their clothes, posture, expressions, attitudes. Imagine what they would say if you could hear them. Nichols, Sallie (1973-09-01).

Step 10 – Once you start speaking, don’t doubt yourself. Just go with that flow and continue to describe the flow of consciousness. Maybe random words and phrases will pop into your head. Say them out loud several times, even though it doesn’t make much sense. That is because the Tarot cards sometimes communicate with us through puns and punchlines. For example, you could say “Sun” (The Sun Tarot card), but the querent may hear “son”, and this would make the perfect message. At any level of meaning, expressing your impressions will help you evaluate each card, and you will even surprise yourself with the accuracy of your perception and intuition.
