Tarot 111 - Get to Know Your Deck
Tarot 111 - Beginner’s Overview
What this workshop is - “ I “
statements of intent:
I intend to use this tarot deck to see beyond the veil of mundane
reality.
I intend this tarot deck for the greatest good of everyone I read
for.
Keep a tarot journal - writing down your
thoughts, impressions, and readings is your most valuable teaching
tool. Go back and see how accurate your reading was, and re-evaluate
what the cards were telling you. Keep a page or two for meanings
and nuances of each card. Develop KeyWords as a memory device.
Keep your deck ‘clear’ and positively
energized by putting it in order.
1. Smudge with incense. 2. Knock out the ‘bad’ vibrations.
3. Rest it in sunlight or moonlight or near running water or a burning
candle. 4. Keep a bright sparkly crystal in the bag with the deck.
Extreme remedies: 1. Order it and put it away for a long period
of time, and use a different deck. 2. Rest in rock salt in sunlight.
3. Put it in a bag and bury in the earth.
