TAROT CLASS A SAMPLE READING

A SIMPLE THREE CARD READING, PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

Here I am going to explain a sample reading, this is entirely a fictitious reading and keeping it relatively simple three card reading depicting the Past, Present and Future.

In the past position we can see THE HIGH PRIESTESS, this card normally shows up when I am dealing with a client who is very intuitive. Assuming for the purpose of this reading the client is female, this shows she has always had an ability to rely on her intuition and being in the past position its always worked for her and she has trusted this. This card also shows me she is intelligent and wily so she has the power to adapt and change if need be to work things her way.

In the present position we have THE TOWER, this card often shows up when it feels as if your world is collapsing all around you and many assume this can be negative, but not necessarily so. It certainly means a change and a big one at that but sometimes change is necessary to get what you want. True it often shows at life changing events but change and the collapse of the old can be positive, this is especially apparent in the next card.

In the future position we see THE STAR, I always view this card as being very positive, it depicts Pandora opening the box letting out all pestilence to man, however we see the most important content of the box has remained and that is hope. This card is sometimes known as the wish card, so its one that shows up when you have a wish and a dearest hope something will work out.

Conclusion

Reading all the cards together we can see this client is very intuitive and she's always trusted it in the past however she is going through some big change and its made her very insecure and shes lost track of her inner guidance. She needs to believe and trust in herself, I know everything is going to work out for her as this is indicated by the Star and no matter how difficult the changes she is going through its all going to work out for the best and her wish for the future will be realised

Now obviously being a sample reading I haven't got a real situation to work this reading to but I am sure this will give an indication on how to interpret the cards. Bear in mind also every reader has their own way of interpretation, this is the way I interpret the Mythic Tarot

PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT VIEWING THE AURIC FIELD

VIEWING THE ETHERIC BODY 

A PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE

I was born being able to see the Aura and I can now switch it on and off, which is just as well really but in this exercise I am going to try and explain how you can see this for yourself. When you begin to be able to view the Aura, you generally see the Etheric Body, there are several layers and this layer is closest to the physical body and is a complete blueprint of your physical body. If you have had organs or limbs removed they will still be present in your Etheric Body.

You will need at least one other person to do this exercise, they can be standing or sitting it doesn't matter however you will need to get them to stand or sit in front of a plain coloured wall. Some people prefer a light coloured wall others a dark, it's what works best for you and you can try both.

With your partner placed in front of the wall and it doesn't matter if they are facing you or facing away open your eyes wide, now its a bit difficult to describe but you have to allow your eyes to go floppy and to let your vision relax as if day dreaming and out of focus, but here is the tricky part. You stare at your partner until it gets uncomfortable and just before you have to blink you will get a perfect view of the Etheric body. Now this layer has a distinctive beautiful colour that radiates from the physical. I wont lead you on and tell you what colour it is as I want you to see this for yourself. After you have practised this a few times you will be able to view this layer a lot easier.

You can leave me a comment below what you actually view. It's not just humans who have an Aura but all animals and plants do too as do crystals who have some of the most beautiful. The illustration here will give you a rough idea how far this layer emulates from the body

TAROT "THE SUITE OF SWORDS" 4 and THE PAGE OF SWORDS

SWORDS DRAMA AND WHAT TO DO?

THE FOUR OF SWORDS

The scene shifts to Orestes who sits in quiet meditation, away from the strife of his mother and his father, quite unaware of the dreadful incident that took place in his home.

Description: A peaceful and serene scene. Orestes is at peace for the moment, away from the problems at home. He sits quitely, at meditation. Before him, four swords are arranged in such a manner that they resemble they resemble the spokes of a wheel. Behind him are mountains, but reflecting the serene nature of this card, the dark clouds are missing. The Four of Swords signifies a time of retreat, meditation, a time of rest and solitude. 

When this card appears it does so when a major decision needs to be made, the figure appears meditating but its not a time for procrastinating and waiting to see if anything is going to change, it wont. It's a time for cutting out the dead wood, cutting your losses and moving on and I feel when this card appears in a reading you know in your heart what needs to be done, you've already made the decision you just need reassurance but you already know you will do it anyway.

PAGE OF SWORDS

The Page of Swords is Zephyrus. Zephyrus was the lord of the West Wind which he blew from his mouth. Zephyrus, like his brethen, Boreas, the North Wind, Euras, the East Wind and Notus, the South Wind, were children of Eos, the Goddess of Dawn and Astraeus, the Lord of the Night Skies. Orginally of a wild, spiteful and malicious nature, Zephyrus disposition softened when he was given the sweet and gentle Iris, messanger of the Gods to Men, as his wife. No longer was the wind he blew cold, wild and chilly, it became a warm, sweet scented breeze welcomed by mortals every where.

Description: This card potrays a youth, sitting comfortably on dark cloud. Despite being high up in the sky, he does not appear to be cold and wears a sleveless tunic and a short cloak. He wields a and blows out a cloud from his mouth. Beneath, snow capped mountains can be seen. The Page of Swords signifies a messanger, or a young person that may come into the Querent's life. This card also hints at the possibiltiy of gossip, possibly about the Querent. 

 

When this card appears I see it as news, it may not be good news as this would depend on the other cards around in the layout and its often from an unreliable source. The news may also have been contaminated as in 'Chinese whispers' and in a work place scenario, it suggests, hearsay and rumour, in a personal situation it could well be tittle tattle, either way the facts are not entirely correct and clarification is needed before taking action on what you hear

TAROT "THE SUITE OF SWORDS" 2 and 10

THE MYTHIC TAROT 'SWORDS' DRAMA

When swords appear in a reading they generally mean conflict, drama, trouble.

THE TWO OF SWORDS

Trouble starts brewing in this scene. Clytemnestra and Agamemnon begin their quarrel on the return of Agamemnon. Orestes stands between them, not knowning whose side to take

Description: In this card, Orestes is seen standing in the centre of the card with his hands to his head, as if trying to shut out some noise. The noise would be the quarrels of his parents, Clytemnestra and Agamemnon. One stands on each side of him, both wield a sword pointing downwards. The swords meet and cross before Orestes. Like the first card, dark skies and mountains can be seen in the back ground. The Two of Swords in the Mythic Tarot a stalemate of affairs and a period of indecision for Orestes knows not whom to side. 

Therefore when this card appears in a reading it often shows when the client is caught up in the middle of something, they may be asked to take sides and they are often very fed up with bickering from two parties. It's quite common to find this appearing, with a client's partner's ex or within step children and where there seems no way of compromise

TEN OF SWORDS

The Conclusion of the Numbered Cards in the Suit of Swords shows that Orestes' Judgement at Athens. Athene judges in his favour, freeing Orestes from his burden.

Description: The tenth card of any of the numbered Minor Arcanna shows the conclusion of Orestes trials, at least for this portion of it. Orestes lies near the right foreground of the card, curled up and nearly spent. Seperating the Furies, who hover to the left, from Orestes are nine Swords. Athene stands to the middleground on the right, wielding a sword. Behind Athene, the dawn of a new day, signifying hope, can be seen. Traditonally, this card is the culmulation of sorrows and suffering but all is not loss for there is hope, just like every cloud has a silver lining. 

This card often appears at the end of conflict number ten in a reading is always a conclusion and in the illustration we can see the figure prostrate unable to take anymore and exhausted by it all. But we see there is our saviour and all is not lost. As I see this we may be challenged in life but no matter how tough these challenges may be, we will never be left on our own nor deserted and we will be able to overcome and get through this. This card always shows the worst is now over.

TAROT "THE 9 OF CUPS"

TAROT "THE 9 OF CUPS"  THE LOVERS ARE REUNITED

Here, Psyche is at last reunited with Eros who still loves her. Eros, on hearing how his love was made to descend into the Underworld at his mother's command, implored Zeus to rescue her. This Zeus did, and he soothed Aphrodite's anger and jealousy so that she would not stand in the way of the lovers. Her anger soothed by Zeus, Aphrodite allowed her son to be reunited with the women he loves. Description: Psyche, dressed in her white gown, and Eros stand atop a rock, together at last after a long separation. Each holds a golden Cup. Beside them is Aphrodite who holds another golden Cup, blessing the union of her son and Psyche. In front of them, are six cups stacked neatly on the rock. Behind them, the calm blue sea can be seen. The phrase "A wish comes true" sums up the meaning of this card and the scene for Psyche's fondest wishes has been granted, to be reunited with her love.

When I get this card in a reading its the coming together and being reunited in a relationship not only this its the Universe's blessing on the union. It often shows towards the end of adversity and it's a reassuring card in a reading and a signal to hang on in there

INNER BEAUTY

INNER BEAUTY
What shows on the outside comes from within
Every giving moment every mortal sin
It shows in the eyes the windows to your soul
It shows where you've come from, a tale to be told
All your experiences, your faults and your pride
It's etched in your psyche there's nothing you can hide
Nothing can be erased nor wiped clean
You may not see what others do but believe me it is seen
It reflects in your aura and the colours it dictates
It shows up regrets, your faults and your mistakes
And this will be seen and reflected for all to view
This becomes your inner beauty, this is You

TO INSPIRE AND MAKE YOU THINK

THE FOLLOWING BELOW ARE QUOTES FROM KAHLIL GIBRAN

One of the best selling poets of all time, He didn't write merely to describe or to give joy or even stir up the emotions, each poem was philosophy. When you read some of his work he puts life in the context where it's supposed to be, something that is necessary, we experience and we learn from and thus grow. 

No matter which quote or poem you may read you will always take something away from it, no matter how many times you read them 

One day you will ask me which is more important? my life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?

And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.

I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.

TAROT "THE WORLD"

EXCITEMENT EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS WITHIN GRASP "THE WORLD"

If we look at the symbolism in this card you will see its meanings. In the center we have the two headed figure both male and female both sexes within one suggesting to me completeness. We have the serpent with the tip of its tail in its mouth forming a complete circle suggestive of a full cycle. Also we have swords, cups, pentacles and wands, suggesting we have everything we need. the figures are in the open sky but look at the figures foot on a pinnacle of cloud as if on top of a mountain. You have conquered and reached the top. When I see this card in a reading it often shows up, when the client has everything needed to reach the top, it suggests ambitions will be fulfilled, it suggests achievement of goals and its suggests the old cycle where there may have been troubles and problems in the past is now over and the client has the world at their feet and the potential to do well at whatever goal and ambition

TAROT "THE MOON"

THE MOON, THE SUBCONSCIOUS, IMAGINATION AND DECEPTION

In the mythic tarot you see the figure is represented by more than one face and likewise stands before her her trusted friend the dog with three heads. You see the full moon shines brightly and is reflected in the water. lets take the water, it is a reflection meaning it is not real but an illusion and that is what this card is all about, a fake reality. Depending on the other cards in the reading, to me when this card comes up, is you are not seeing what is really there, its all an illusion and you are fooling yourself. Often I find this card appears when you are being deceived and fooled by someone close to you, a good friend or that you are not seeing the truth and deceiving yourself. The moon creates all kinds of illusions and imaginations run riot, what's lurking in the shadows, can I believe my own eyes. It is suggestive of listening to your true self and your own inner guidance and don't be fooled by the pretty moonlight.
