If you missed the first post, welcome to Tarot 101-Gypsy Style.
First step is to clear your cards. You’ll need a white candle, sage (if you have some) and your intentions. **Tip bring your crystals out and lay them around you and your cards.
Find a sacred spot to lay your cards out allow. Light your candle and sage, with peace on mind-slowly run the sage of your cards (laid out). Think peace, clear thoughts, and cleansing while your run the sage over the cards. If you have the crystals around you and the cards, feel them cleanse the cards. Imagine in your mind that the crystals are giving your cards a new life, giving them light in them. Feel the calmness. When you are ready blow out your candle and then you are ready for the next step. Second step is to connect with your cards. If you just cleared your cards, this is a good opportunity to connect with your cards. Lay them out, hold them, see them, feel them. There are many ways to connect with your cards. You will know how to best connect with them. Some of the ways I have connected with mine is to play with them, spend each day with one card. (yes 72-80 cards is a lot of days but your connection with each will be a strong bond) Sleep with them next to you at night. I have heard some put them under the pillow once a week to regain connection.
Last-the third step- Learn your cards. There are usually a book with each deck. Study it like its your bible. It will give you the insight and information you need. However, don’t let the artist who made the cards be your only vision of that card. Once you have connected with your cards you will be able to read them as you internally feel they mean. IF you decide to read for others and not just yourself- learn what each set means. Astrology, life, and other aspects will be able to help you give your person a better, deeper understanding of your reading.
*Find a way to wrap your cards to protect them. -box, silk, material- whatever calls to you. This saves your cards for longevity, others energies, and darkness that surrounds us.
