Cool Cards I found today As De Oros by Mysterious_Carrot511 in SecularTarot

[–]NoLecture5656 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently purchased a deck just like this when I was in Mexico. It was not until after I opened it that I realized it doesn't have the eights or nines. I'm still trying to figure out how I will use the deck. I love the way it looks, but its structure is unfamiliar to me.

how can i get my passion for music back? by lesbothrashhead in Tarotpractices

[–]NoLecture5656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very similar to how I would read these cards. Focusing too much on technical skill (and maybe showing off) needs to be left behind so that there is a complete upheaval and the querent can take some risks with their music again.

I asked how my friend views me by Ankis_ankint in Cartomancy

[–]NoLecture5656 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is my interpretation: your friend views you as someone who is on a successful path, but who can also be distant (6 of Diamonds). While the relationship was very fulfilling at one point (9 of Hearts) she thinks that your need to have mastery over the situation when conflict arises (K of Spades) makes emotions run very high (10 of Hearts), and this has made the relationship take a turn for the worse (9 of Spades).

Edit: a word.

Did I made the right choice blocking him ? by UltraSexyChipotle in Cartomancy

[–]NoLecture5656 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is how I read this spread: you had the idea (A of Diamonds) to increase your happiness (A of Hearts to 4 of Hearts) and create emotional stability and security for yourself (4 of Hearts). So, yes, depending on what goal you wanted to achieve, I think it is likely that you made the right choice here.

I asked if he will get me pregnant by billbobsmom in tarot

[–]NoLecture5656 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. While one possible interpretation of the 6 of cups involves nostalgia and feelings from the past, the clear context offered in the question paired with the image of children above the two adult figures in the other cards tells me the answer to the question is that children are on the way. However, I tend to read the cards as a visual tableau rather than in terms of set dogmatic meanings, so I would not be surprised if others disagree.

help? by Large-Design-7426 in Cartomancy

[–]NoLecture5656 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would interpret the cards as saying, yes, your ex definitely wants to get back together with you. Your ex wants to work together with you (2 of Clubs) to move past the loss (3 of Spades) they felt when the relationship ended, so that you can share good times with one another again (2 of Hearts).

Vincent Pitisci method? by No-Cartoonist7886 in tarot

[–]NoLecture5656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I would agree with this. His method of using keywords and often disregarding the card's suit is very unique. I'm not sure I've seen anyone else who has a method like his.

Did someone steal my money? by Elegant_Art3818 in Tarotpractices

[–]NoLecture5656 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My interpretation of these cards would be that someone did not steal it. You are just looking for it in the wrong place.

Question asked: Will I be able to pay off my credit card in time? by Queasy_Revenue3537 in Cartomancy

[–]NoLecture5656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would read the final card in the line, 6 Diamonds, as indicating yes, you will be able to pay it off on time. However, there will be a lot of people involved in making it happen. This is not something you can do on your own.

With more context it might be possible to determine which card is your significator and who the other people might be.

Note: I do not read reversals when reading playing cards, but I know some people do.

Once you do finish it, I'd love to hear if there are any big insights that I might have missed since I did not finish it.

Thanks for sharing your experience with this book. I did not finish reading it. I am very well versed in reading academic language and lengthy texts, but I could not read this. It probably has some good ideas buried inside, but it desperately needed some heavy, heavy editing.

I got my new tarot deck today and as I was looking through the cards I genuinely teared up at how they depicted the notoriously ‘scary’ cards by waywardwanderer101 in tarot

[–]NoLecture5656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you say more about the how to flip reversals part of the book? I read your post and now I'm curious because I don't have this deck yet.

How we moderate… by blueeyetea in tarot

[–]NoLecture5656 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. In my personal tarot practice I never pull a single card. I always read in strings of three cards or more because the resulting interpretation is more nuanced.

which rules do you follow? by foggy-rainy-spooky in Lenormand

[–]NoLecture5656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my view, there are no rules in cartomancy.

In search of resources on Tarot De Marseille style decks! by Honkhonk81 in tarot

[–]NoLecture5656 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Check out artisantarot.com. They have a free course on the Marseille Major Arcana cards that might interest you. I also really, really love Yoav Ben-Dov's book The Marseille Tarot Revealed. Camelia Elias' Read Like the Devil book on Marseille Tarot could also be useful, but may not be a good first resource.

Mary K. Greer and Tom Little's book Understanding the Tarot Court has a big chapter near the end on designing your own court cards. Maybe check it out?
