Integral Tarot (Integral Tarot: Decoding the Essence)
By
Suzanne Wagner The decision to study the Tarot can stem from many reasons, all unique, some hard to explain. For me, there was a fascination with the future and the ability to see into it, beyond the shadow of the next moment, or tomorrow ... or next week. In that, I'm sure I'm not alone.

I actually tried to start my study of the Tarot back 40+ years ago, when I was in my teens. Maybe I was too young and unseasoned to understand the seriousness of this effort, or appreciate the intricacies of this art ... back then, but my efforts weren't helped one bit by the absolutely dreadful published texts that were available. They were contradictory. They made no sense. They were poorly written. They offered no cohesive or logical structure to use as a foundation for this project.

Learning the Tarot: A Tarot Book for Beginners
By
Joan Bunning Rods (which correspond to the suit of Clubs) -- and depending on the specific Tarot are also depicted and named as staves, wands, batons, and scepters. Rods focus on issues of personal ambition, professional goals, public reputation, individual vision and destiny, matters of self-confidence, courage, charisma, pride, and initiative. Corrupted, weakened, or inverted Rods can display abuse of power, overweening ambition, confused personal direction, a lack of cooperation, weak will, vanity, timidity, and laziness.

When a Tarot Reading Needs
A Little Bit More

A clarification card offers "one last little bit" of information about the overall theme and direction of a reading. It is used to focus, condense, and solidify the direction of information that might otherwise be ambiguous, confusing, or open to more than one interpretation.

A Magical Course in Tarot: Reading the Cards in a Whole New Way
By
Michele Morgan, Rebecca Richards As a student ... and as a novice reader, this phenomenon was the most puzzling, discouraging and infuriating part of the process for me to deal with. It does happen this way sometimes ... and only through keeping written records of my own questions and experiences through the years -- along with the Tarot's responses, even at their most obscure and baffling was I able to see the pattern of what seems to be happening here.

So, what's going on when a Tarot reading seems to miss the mark, or worse, not address the question at all. What's the "message" when you ask about money ... and the reading comes back full of cups or Major Arcana, and none of the cards address wealth and finances?

To See With Your Own Eyes
When the Tarot Reveals
A Whole New Picture of You

Yes, the Tarot can be used to answer questions. It can even, to an eerie extent, be used to forecast the future -- perhaps because we humans are so predictable, so habit-bound, so likely to follow the same paths to the same dreary conclusions ... and then berate ourselves for making the same old mistakes over and over again. Psychologists sometimes call this "the familiar spot." You wind up in it over and over again. You've been here before -- over and over again. You say you'd do anything to stay out of it.

Mary K. Greer's 21 Ways to Read a Tarot Card
By
Mary K. Greer There's kind of an old half-joke philosophical saying that states ... sometimes getting the right answer means asking the right question. That's true in life and it's doubly true in working with the Tarot.

A Tarot reading is a reflection of life, a tool for handling life, a living breathing instrument that thrives on the energy of life, and if you treat it with respect, and communicate with it as it is best designed to understand ... and answer back, the Tarot can be as reliable and intelligent a counselor as any human friend.

Dealing with Death
When the Past Is not that Far Behind

A Magical Course in Tarot: Reading the Cards in a Whole New Way
By
Michele Morgan, Rebecca Richards The year's end is in sight. What was once the far horizon comes closer each day. Once again, we've passed through the awesome, redoubtable season of Scorpio with its associations of death, closure, endings ... and change. The calendar says it's Sagittarius energy driving life's wheel now.

But today, it doesn't feel like Scorpio's bony hand has loosened its grip at all. As if the recent events of death and endings in my life haven't moved into the past by more than a few degrees, but instead have settled in like an unwelcome squatter (I just can't bring myself to use the word "guest") and made arrangements to become the new permanent landscape of my world.

Rachel Pollack's Tarot Wisdom: Spiritual Teachings and Deeper Meanings
By
Rachel Pollack The Duchess of Windsor wrote a book titled "The Heart Has Its Reasons." The cynic in me looks at that statement coming from that woman with that history and thinks, "Yeah ... right." But then I try to remind myself that even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

What does this have to do with Tarot? A lot actually. Heart issues not only have a strong influence on the interpretation of a Tarot reading, they are often the reason behind someone seeking a Tarot reading in the first place.

Our culture may put unnatural emphasis on the "virtues" of logic, reason, analysis and all other hallmarks of left brain experience, but heart issues, intuition, emotion, and feelings -- the fabulous and rich territory of the right brain -- is the territory of Tarot. It's also the motive behind most of our life's big questions: Where to live ... who to marry ... how to find and fulfill our life's mission.
