Tarot - Lesson 8

section on Reading Cards for Others
Exercise 1: 3
card story
It's story time again.
We do these exercises because doing a Tarot reading is telling a
story, so you need to sharpen these skills. To practice your interpretations,
draw three cards at random from your deck. Lay them out in order
in which you draw them. These cards now represent the beginning,
middle and end of your story in order. Make up a short story using
these cards.
Exercise 2: 3
card drawings
Start out doing this
for yourself for a week before moving on to reading for others.
You should be comfortable with the cards and confident in your knowledge
of the definitions before reading for others.
In your journal, write
down the date, the question you ask, the cards you pull and your
interpretation. Leave room to write your comments later as to how
accurate your reading was and what comes to pass.
Keeping a journal like
this will help sharpen your skills. Not only will it give you a
boost when you can see how right on you are but it will also help
you notice flaws in your interpretation. (We all sometimes get mixed
up when doing a reading only to realize a day or maybe months later
what that card really represented.) A journal will also help you
recognize patterns in the cards you draw.
There are several variations
of the three-card draw. Try them all and feel free to make up your
own.
· Past, present
and future
· Mind, body and spirit
· Energy for the day, others who might be involved, how you'll
feel about it
· The nature of your problem, the cause of it, the solution
· What you have, what you need, how to get it
· The event, what you need to know about it, its ultimate
effect
