DIY Readings

 

People often ask if its a good idea to read your own.  The answer is YES.  If you read yourself the cards, you won't need to ask for permission or do prayers or consecrate the cards.  Please!  These are your own cards!  Although you don't own them, you are part of a union and partnership with them.  Just like a relationship, you don't have to ask for permission to speak or ask questions.  I would say the cards are more intimate than a human relationship.  These are your guides.

After shuffling, you have a choice of either asking or letting them speak to you first.  It's like who is going to start a conversation.

Once you flipped the card...

• Let them speak to you.

• When you translate, just be honest what you see and feel and sense.

• Don't second guess yourself.

• Don't Google the meaning elsewhere.  If you already know what it means, then that's exactly what it means.

• Don't re-ask the same question.

• Sugarcoating a negative card to a positive meaning, visa-versa, will not change what is to come.

• If you feel "stuck", then stop reading the cards.  Your mind is not susceptible to receive information.  That's okay.  It happens even to the best and finest readers.

• Keep in mind that you can hold a great conversation with the cards.  Again, they like to talk too.

• If you must, ask the cards how they feel about reading you at the moment.  Sometimes they are in a bad mood; trust me if you don't ask.  They will give nasty readings.

• Stop nagging the deck because the card you picked was not of your liking...seriously!

• The tarot deck is not your psychologist and are not a "make me feel good" medicine.  If you need cheering up, meditate, read a book, go out!  Heck, drink a glass of wine and watch a "make me feel good" movie.  Better yet, clean AND cleanse your home.  Hell, better yet, smoke some weed!!!

• They are not a tool to communicate with Ma' or Pa'.  They're not for use to inform you if ghosts are wondering around your home.  The decks ARE a presence wandering around your home every time you call upon them.

• And for the sake of humanity and yours, stop yelling at the cards.

• Your cards can help you out with your gratitude and affirmations.  Yeap!  That's right!  I've used my cards for those reasons...they are a charm and a great reminder why you should be grateful of your life.

• The cards are great at assisting with Manifesting your dreams...if you listen carefully to them.

Now for those that use the deck of cards to read strangers, family and friends...you must be specific to the deck and let it be known that the reading is for you, nor bout you.
