HR Giger Reading For A Friend

Alright, for this next reading we are returning to Tarot, although not the standard deck. This is another requested reading, and the selected deck is the HR Giger Tarot. 

For this spread, I chose to use the Celtic Cross layout outlined in the book, which differs from the traditional Celtic Cross in shape only: instead of a cross, the cards are laid out in the following manner:

Card One: Current Position/ State Of The Querent

Wheel Of Fortune

The first card drawn suggests a need to accept oneself regardless of circumstance, to make peace with not only your good qualities but also your flaws. It would seem there is a tendency here to rebel against nature, and to accept far too much blame for your own circumstances. Your current situation requires a serene and delicate approach, and while it can be easy to become overwhelmed by circumstance, your inner peace will be a guiding light to you, if you choose to seek it. Though life may be difficult at times, the strength of your will and the power of your beliefs must not be underestimated.

Card Two: Barriers/ Obstacles/ The Repressed Self

The Sun

This card shows us what stands in the way of the Querent's goals, including the Querent themselves. The Sun  in this position represents a powerful longing in the heart, and the fear that perhaps true joy will forever be out of reach. This card reminds us that we must not falter in times of doubt, that we must hold onto our ultimate goal and never lose sight of it. All you wish for can be yours, if you will allow yourself to reach out and take it.

Card Three: Main Goal/ Priority Of The Querent

Death

As the classic card of rebirth and reinvention, as a goal Death may symbolise a need to escape a current situation entirely, to start over in every respect. It suggests that the Querent is holding onto an outdated belief or way of life, that although it can be difficult to do so the time may have come to rid yourself of some destructive influence in your life. While it is often noble to stay and fight, there may be a person in your life who has outstayed their welcome, a habit which needs to be dealt with, or simply an overhaul with regards to the way you look at the world. In short, it may be time to take a different approach. If someone is a dead weight, now is the time to stop carrying them, and move on toward your own happiness.

Card Four: The Root Of The Matter

The Fool

The Fool in this position serves to remind us of our own inner freedom, of our ability to change the way we see the world. It is an indicator that some new phase in life is just beginning, but in order for it to pass there are other influences which must be left behind. So then, it represents something which may be frightening to some extent, as are a lot of new experiences. But it is human nature to be wary of change, and The Fool encourages us to embrace that, to reach outside of our comfort zone and free ourselves to the whim of fate, from time to time. There is no sense worrying over that which cannot be controlled.

Card Five: Recent Past

Judgement

This is a card of reincarnation. You may not have had the easiest life so far, but you have been reborn from the ashes like a phoenix, and are stronger than ever. It may be that you are beginning to realise this, and if not then it is most certainly time to do so. There ids a sense here that in order to realise your future dreams, you must forgive yourself for past mistakes, and move on from them emotionally. You cannot progress until you cast off the weight of self-criticism, as well as the judgement of those who would oppose you. Allow yourself to be reborn, and you will become more powerful than ever.

Card Six: Immediate Future

The Universe

You are in a magical place right now, one in which your own personal energy and that of the universe are completely aligned. What you want is also what fate wishes for you, and you can expect a much easier time ahead, one in which you can achieve whatever you set your mind to. Your hearts desire is well within your reach -be clear about what you want, and the universe shall oblige your request.

Card Seven: Area Of Growth/ Potential

The Lovers

This card brings with it a warning. It suggests that the Querent may have a tendency to hold back in relationships. Whether this is because of past experience remains unclear, but the message here is that unless you give all of yourself to another person you will not find the love you seek. The path of true openness may lead to pain and heartache, but the alternative is a numbness, the empty feeling that comes from unsatisfying romantic encounters. It may be tough to open your heart to others, to allow them to see your true self, but if you seek true companionship which has significance and is founded on mutual care and respect, then this is the path you must take.

Card Eight: Environment/ Situation From The Perspective Of Others

The Star

This is a lovely card to draw, in terms of how others see you. It represents someone who is a dreamer, creative and inspiring. Someone who dreams big, and has the courage to follow it through. There is also an indication of someone who has a mystical aura, an almost magical charisma. Your love of life, your vivid imagination and your innate hopefulness are an inspiration to others.

Card Nine: Hopes And Fears

Strength

As far as hopes and fears go, this card is very direct in its message. It is all about inner fortitude, endurance and resilience. There may be times when you fear that you cannot possibly continue on your current path, when you come close to giving up entirely, Yet your hope, your belief in your own internal will, is what will carry you forward. Your doubts are just that - doubts, but nothing more. The trick here is to determine what is worth fighting for, to differentiate between when you are being firm, and when you are being stubborn. There is a time and a place for each, and knowing the difference may be the key to your current situation.

Card Ten: Culmination

The Chariot

Here we find ourselves at the end of the journey, and The Chariot shows us the lesson that the Querent's current situation is trying to impart. It very neatly reinforces the rest of the reading, with the emphasis on inner will and determination. Once the path to your dreams has been set in motion, nothing short of the hand of destiny itself can derail it. Use you focus, your ability to go after what you want. Keep your eyes on the prize, and do not allow anything or anyone to steer you from your current path. The message of this reading, then, is simple. Nobody knows what you want better than you do, and nobody else has ability to make it happen. With determination, with faith in yourself and your abilities, there is nothing you cannot achieve.

The Unidentified Deck

I managed to stumble across this Tarot deck in a charity shop, and picked it up for only a couple of pounds. I know a lot of people are very particular about only purchasing brand new decks, but I've always felt that so long as you properly acquaint yourself with your cards - with regular handling, constant use and even purification rites, if that's your kind of thing :) - then it really shouldn't be a problem. 

The deck came without a box, and was bound together with a simple elastic band. After hours and hours of searching online - without even a name to go on - I still haven't identified them.

If anyone out there has any more information, it would be greatly appreciated! :)

Featured Deck: The Hallowe'en Tarot by Kipling West

Now, this is the reason I haven't  posted in a while - The Hallowe'en Deck, by Kipling West. It has absolutely stolen my heart, and I've been off in my own little world with this wonderful deck.

 

In the Hallowe'en deck, the four usual suits of Wands, Cups, Swords and Pentacles are replaced with Imps, Ghosts, Bats and Pumpkins. While this may seem like a cute gimmick from the outside, with Major Arcana cards represented by, among others, mummies, werewolves and even Frankenstein's Monster, the level of research and attention to detail in this set quickly becomes apparent.

A lot of the artwork is directly inspired by the original Rider-Waite deck, and where the cards differ, this serves only to enhance the overall meaning of the cards. Previously 'difficult' cards such as the 3 of Bats/Swords and the  of Pumpkins/Pentacles take on a new, more thoughtful light - the feeling of doom and gloom is not gone, but the cards are imbued with a fresh sense of possibility, and potential for change.

With Hallowe'en right around the corner, these cards are an excellent way to celebrate the season - and also allow us to carry a little of the holiday with us, all year round.

A Daily Spread

Lately, I have been working through a book called The Tarot Workbook by Emily Peach. In truth, I am a bit of a workbook addict - something about making a Sephiroth from paper plates and clothes hangers appeals to the eight year old inside, I guess - and this one is particularly good. An interesting thing about the book is the absence of card images, which are instead replaced with blank rectangles. The idea is that the reader can place their own cards in the spaces as they work on each card. This is quite liberating, particularly if you are using the book with a deck other than the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, which an increasing number of people do.

This spread is one of the many supplied by the author - if you like it, the book is available on Amazon, Alibris and eBay to name only a few. It is called the Daily Spread, and is intended for questions on a specific day, with an emphasis on beginning projects and things of that nature.

First, a significator (a representative card) is chosen for the day and month. The ones provided are as follows. Note that the spread uses ASTROLOGICAL months, not calendar months:

Aries (March 21 - April 19) - The Emperor
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) - The Hierophant
Gemini (May 21 - June 20) - The Lovers
Cancer (June 21 - July 22) - The Chariot
Leo (July 23 - August 22) - Strength
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) - The Hermit
Libra (September 23 - October 22) - Justice
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) - Death
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) - Temperance
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) - The Devil
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) - The Star
Pisces (February 19 - March 21) - The Moon

Sunday - The Sun
Monday - The High Priestess
Tuesday - The Tower
Wednesday - The Magician
Thursday - The Wheel
Friday - The Empress
Saturday - The World

We then lay out the cards:

Month Card                                         Day Card
                                     8

                                     9

                                    10

         1        2       3       4       5      6      7 

                                    11

                                    12

                                    13

Cards 11- 13 represent events leading up to do the day, with card 13 being least and card 11 most recent.
Cards 1 -3 represent events of the morning.
Cards 5-7 represent events of the afternoon.
Cards 8 - 10 represent the evening of the day.
Card 4 is an outcome card, and represents the overall tone of the day.

Dark Times At The Meadow...

Hello, all! I realise it has been deathly quiet here for the past week or so, and I should probably explain. I'm having a lot of deck trouble - cards going missing, that kind of thing - and am currently in the process of turning my entire house upside down in an attempt to find them!!

Interestingly enough, the missing cards are Deception, and the Ten of Wands. I cannot help but wonder whether this is significant. Often, when cards disappear without explanation, I later find that some area of my life needs attention, and interpreting the missing card or cards will often shed a little light on things.

Well, let's have a look, shall we?

The Ten of Wands is often depicted as a man struggling to carry ten wands in an unwieldy bunch. This represents the challenges, and often burdens, indicated by the card. The message is often one of needless suffering, of bearing the weight of something alone when there is no need to.

Deception is a card which warns that things are not always as they seem. It is about being lied to, or even lying to yourself.

So together, what do they mean? My guess is that I need to examine my own motives. If the cards do have a significance, then perhaps I am enabling a bad situation, fighting to keep something alive while lying to myself about the value of such efforts. Something in my life is a dead weight, and I would do well to be rid of it.

Of course, it may be that I'm just clumsy!

Back to business as usual next week - see you then.....

The Wishing Star

This is a variation of the classic star spread which splits a problem into levels. The positions of the cards mean different things depending on the type of question asked:

The centre card represents the core of the problem or question. The other position meanings are as follows:

In each instance, the extremes are placed at positions one and six. Cards two and three always explain card one, and likewise cards four and five give meaning to card six. For instance: In a Hopes/Fears reading, Cards 2/3 would tell you why you want the things that you want; Cards4/5 would tell us what you are basing your fears on.

Example Reading

Answer Deck

Star Used: The Ethics Star

Here is a test spread, to show you how it works.

First, we read the core, as this relates to the entire reading. The card here represents, in an ethics spread, by what standards the querent judges the world, and what makes them decide between good and evil. It is what you would call a moral barometer. Good Fortune as the core tells us that this person has luck on their side, and that this plays an important role in their character and moral decisions. This may mean someone who is fortunate to grow up in a stable family, or low-crime area, someone who hasn't really been exposed to the ugly side of life. Thus, the lesson contained in this card is to place yourself in another's shoes before you pass judgement.

Card One: Outer Self

Friend

The outer self card tells us how the querent would like to be seen by others. This card suggests someone who wants others to think of them as a friend, someone who portrays themselves as fun, helpful, and easy going. This card may indicate someone who is eager to be trusted, and loved.

Cards 2/3: Realm of Virtue

Peace/Fame

These two cards are intended to elaborate on the first, showing us why this person feels it is so important to be a good friend to others. Peace suggests that the querent simply wants to avoid conflict, as in the old saying 'anything for a quiet life'. It could be that the querent holds things back, refusing to speak their mind because they do not like to cause a scene. This is the card of a people-pleaser, a true mediator.

Fame suggests that this person's motives are not entirely unselfish. It represents that part of the querent that does good things simply for acclaim, and recognition. The card is not about considering others, and more about being seen to be a good person.

Card Six: The Inner Self

Judgement

The Inner Self is where we find the querent's true character. It is either a sign of how they truly are, or else the person the querent fears becoming, the part of themselves they keep locked away from the rest of the world. In this position, Judgement may indicate that a person is quite critical of themselves and others, but that they are able to keep this mean streak in check, turning such jibes into tactful, well-meaning advice. It could also mean someone who sets unrealistic moral goals (based on the surrounding cards), and so always sets themselves up to fail. There is also a hint of guilt in the card.

Cards 4/5: Realm of Vice

Deception/The Lovers

This is a realm of private thoughts and behaviour, of bad habits and secrets. Deception tells us that the calm, friendly outer self may be masking something entirely different, that the querent tries so hard to be friendly because of the problems they have getting along with others - that they are, in a way, overcompensating. Combined with the Lovers, there is a definite sense of guilt here, a feeling that the querent is not always true to what they want. It may be that, in their attempt to please everyone and seem like a good friend, they are neglecting their own wants and needs. It may also be that the person feels it would selfish to put themselves first.

Every once in a while, I lay out all five stars at the same time, to get a full 'Life Reading', and find that this works rather well. 

E mail Tarot Readings: Divination Or Deceit?

Whether a reader can provide an accurate Tarot reading via e mail is a subject of great debate. There are certainly people in every profession who will trick or con you, who only care about money and will say or do anything to get it. But there are also those who genuinely care about their clients, and provide a service because they want to help.

So let's ask the question: do e mail Tarot readings really work?

I'll explain my position on this, and then we'll look at the arguments for and against such readings.

You might expect that I would be biased. After all, click on 'Ordering a Reading' in the sidebar, and you will see that I provide this type of reading, as well as face-to-face ones. But I will level with you: I only ever intended to read the cards in person. In fact, my interest in remote reading began as an experiment between friends.

I had heard a lot about e mail readings, and was skeptical to say the least. So I contacted two friends I have down in London (I am in Wales, geography fans :) ), whom I have only met once in person. I told them that I had heard a lot about e mail readings, and didn't believe in them at all. And I had a proposition for them: I wanted to perform a reading for each of them, via e mail, and I needed honest feedback.

My intention was to expose the readers as hacks. I have a thirteen year history with Tarot, and saw these e mail readers as charlatans, frauds - adding to the already dubious credibility of my beloved cards.

I was not prepared at all for what actually happened.

Both friends had nothing but praise for my readings. In fact, one of them was so amazed that they started promoting me to their friends. Neither could believe the accuracy of the reading - needless to say, they asked whether I had used the standard card efinitions, or fudged the results a little based on what I knew of their characters.

I now read for people I have never met, and the reaction is always the same. "How did you know that? How did you DO that?"

Of course, I would say this, wouldn't I? So let's ask around, and see what other people have to say on the subject.

Against

People who believe that Tarot cannot be used in this way commonly cite the following reasons:

-The querent must physically touch the cards.

- It is impossible to make a connection with someone via e mail.

- There is no way for the querent to tell whether the reading is genuine.

There are plenty of reasons to be doubtful. So many premium rate phone lines, over priced and auto-generated e mail responses. So many computer programs that will simply select three random cards and give you a standard definition for each one.

For such a supposedly spiritual subject, there is a distinct lack of fiscal etiquette in the world of Tarot.

If you need evidence of this, try typing "are e mail Tarot readings fake?" into Google. When I did this, the first site tried three times to redirect me to a psychic reader and ask for money. The second thing I came to which bore any relevance at all to the subject was an article about how to tell real readings from fake ones. The article seemed genuine enough until I realised the author's main suggestion was to get a reading from the website to which he was affiliated. It seemed little more than an elaborate advertisement.

Some opinions gathered against e mail readings:

From answers.com:

"Question: Are online Tarot card readers fake?

Answer:Yes. There is no principle of divination (or magic in general) that would allow for the reader to be able to divine anything without some form of direct contact from you. In addition, most online tarot card readers use a software program that creates a randomized reading based off the standard descriptions of the card. The ONLY thing the tarot readers do in this case is change the wording slightly to suit the specific question."

(source: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Are_online_tarot_card_readers_fake)

In her article "Magic of The Tarot Reading", Sarah Saxon says:

"Tarot reading in recent years has become not only a foretelling tool but also an interactive program which can be found online. What one does is sign up using their email address, then provide their personal information such as their date of birth. The system then calculates their numerology number and gives a tarot of the day reading. This tarot reading can be accessed daily and once viewed, it can be sent to one's email for future reference.

The Internet has changed how business was done in the past. Awhile back, only psychics could perform tarot card reading but now any interested person can just sign up to a website that has a tarot query and input information that then gives back a reading of the day. A downside to this is that it reduces the credibility that traditional psychics once had."

(Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/6453958) 

The Middle ground:

When I reached KeriLynn Engel ( writer & web designer: Dreaming Iris Design, and the woman behind The Spiritual Skeptic) for comment, she had this to say:

"I think it depends on the goal of the reading. I don't believe that tarot cards or people have supernatural powers, so if the person receiving the reading is hoping for divine revelation via email, I think they'll be disappointed. But doing a reading for someone else via email to help brainstorm for ideas or problem-solving sounds like it would be a fun and even productive thing to do. 

As for the morality of charging for such a service, I think that depends on the people involved. If the tarot reader pretends to have some magical insight or problem-solving ability and charges people for it, that's on their own conscience. One could debate whether or not the people being duped deserve it. If both parties are satisfied, who am I to judge?"

For

People who defend e mail readings often cite the following reasons:

- Universal energies connect us all, and are not limited by distance.

- Only the medium of delivery has changed: the practice of Tarot is the same as it ever was.

Any Tarot reader worth their salt will tell you that there is no right or wrong way to approach the cards. For every person who says that the querent must touch the cards, there is another who claims that nobody other than you should EVER touch them. For this reason, many readers feel that the skeptics' argument regarding the touching of the cards is completely invalid.

There is also an argument that by not having physical contact with the querent, the reader cannot partake in cold reading practises such as the reading of body language and gestures.

Amid the readers waiting to take your money in exchange for an auto-generated reading, there are plenty of people out there with honest intentions. It is unfortunate that such people are not always easy to find. It certainly seems, as stated by Sarah Saxon in the quote above, that a few rotten apples have spoiled the bunch. Tarot is certainly not met with universal reverence - the scam artists out there have ensured that any genuine attempt to read Tarot is met with at least a little cynicism, and in some cases outright scoffing.

The question, then, is whether to allow the reputation of a sincere reader to be tarished by the unscrupulous actions of others. Which poses a second question: how are you to tell when you are being scammed?

Be cautious of anyone who charges an extortionate amount, that's a given. But also, pay attention to the reading you recieve. Auto-generated responses often seem wooden, somehow, and devoid of personal allusions. Read it over. Could the reader be talking to anybody, or does it feel like he or she is talking specifically to you? Also, research the person if you can. Don't just accept the testimonials on a person's website. Keep your eye out for the complaints. All readers get it wrong sometimes - claims to the contrary are another thing to look out for - so complaints are inevitable, but common sense will tell you whether you should be taking notice.

From Tarot By Jeanne:

"Q: How can you do a Reading from a distance or through e-mail?

A: Because the human consciousness transcends time and space, tapping into the universal information does not need to be done with someone only in person. Psychics/Intuitives have the ability to tap into this information."

(Jeanne, http://www.tarotbyjeanne.com/)

Theresa Reed was more than happy to get involved in the discussion, and pointed me to a blog she wrote on this very subject, where she had this to say:

"First of all, email is no different than any other sort of communication.  Energy is energy and your vibrational blueprint comes through loud and clear via email.  Sometimes even more so!  The reason why is this: you actually have to sit and think about what you are asking...there are a few ways to make sure you get a clear answer.  Here are some tips to consider should you decide to pursue the wisdom of the tarot electronically:

1. Make your question as clear and direct as possible.  Avoid long, convoluted backstories.  Do NOT use text abbreviations as some readers may not get what you are referring to.  Write plainly.
2. A vague question will get a vague answer.  Make your question as specific as possible. For example rather than asking “What about love?”, a better question would be: “What is the potential of a healthy relationship with Sheldon?”.  This gives your reader something to work with and guarantees you get an answer that is helpful to your situation.
3. Don’t jam two separate questions into one.  Sometimes people will play sneaky and try to find a way to get two questions for the price of one – hence, they’ll ask two unrelated questions and try to pass it off as one.  Don’t do this.  It muddies up the works and is really rude. If you have two situations you want advice on, then purchase two questions.
4. Include a picture of yourself or the people you are asking about along with birth dates.  If I know a client, I can visualize them easily.  If I don’t, a pictures gives me something to focus on while I read the question and shuffle.  This helps the reader to make a link and is especially helpful for visually oriented persons like myself."

As you can see, opinion is most definitely divided. The best advice I can give anybody is to make up your own mind, research the subject. If you are skeptical, try it out - either get a reading from a recommended source, or try using the cards yourself. Do not rely solely on the opinions of others, and trust your intuition - be wary of frauds, but do not let too much doubt harden your heart.

I would like to end this article with a quote from Mary K Greer, who this afternoon provided me with the most balanced view of all. While not inclined to perform such readings herself, I found her live-and-let-live approach to them refreshing.

"I don't have a lot to say since I don't do tarot readings via email, and I prefer interacting with a querent, whether it's in person or on the phone/Skype/web conference room. Chat might also work although it would be tedious. But email is fine for those who like to do it."

Sample Spread: The Relationship Spread

I want to begin this post by stating that Tarot should not be relied on to solve all of your problems. Let the cards offer you guidance, by all means, but understand that the person you care for has their own free will, and that sometimes the best thing you can do is seek the help of a marriage counsellor, or the support of a trusted friend.

With that in mind, this spread is very good if you need to step back from a situation, and understand how the different factors in your lives are affecting the way you are with each other. I find it works just as well with friendships.

Shuffle the cards, and lay them out, like so:

Then we interpret them as follows:

Card One: This card represents your past.

Card Two: This card represents the past of your significant other.

Card Three: Your present relationship.

        Three A: Factors affecting you.

        Three B: Factors affecting your partner/friend.

Card Four: The future if you are together.

Card Five: The future if you are apart.

Card Six: Coming influences for your partner.

Card Seven, Eight, Nine: Coming influences for you.

Card Spotlight: The Fool

   Card Spotlight:

The Fool

  This card is often left without a number, or marked as card zero. The Fool is a symbol of youth and innocence (among other things), and represents all that is new, original, inspired and unpredictable. He signifies a need to follow your own path, even when your choices and actions seem foolish to others. As a person, he can be non-conformist, optimistic, young at heart and full of enthusiasm - but also impulsive, reckless, naive and gullible.

In Jungian terms, the Fool is described as pertaining to the newborn child, free from all individual responsibility - as it does not yet have an identity as an individual. The Fool can be a fresh eager mind, or a complete display of ignorance.

As an event, The Fool represents the unexpected, the wildcard that life throws in every so often. I sometimes interpret the cliff that The Fool is depicted stepping off of as the border between outright madness and true genius. He throws himself, unthinking, into the abyss, without a thought as to what might happen next. This is both his grace and his downfall.

Adorable Tarot Decks!

I've come across a few of what I can only describe as novelty decks over the years. I have to say that while a lot of people dismiss such decks, I think it's nice that even Tarot can be playful once in a while. Certainly, they deserve to be shared here - if only for the 'Awwww!' factor. And if you're going to recieve bad news, why not soften the blow?

Gummy Bear Tarot by Dietmar Bittrich

Yes, you read that right. Gummy Bears. The Gummy Bears in this deck, while cute, look adorably serious. There are wise bears, enlightened bears, and even bears in peril! (see below) The cards were originally printed in German, then re-released in English. They may not be useful if you want a more sombre reading - I for one can't take the Kight of Swords seriously when he looks so much like Winnie the Pooh - but I'm glad they exist, all the same.

Hello Kitty Tarot by Joe Rosales

The ubiquitous cat of the Hello Kitty franchise with her own Tarot deck? This one detail will tell you everything you need to know about Hello Kitty Tarot: they are a black and white deck you can colour YOURSELF. It is either the pinnacle of sacrilege, or the most adorable thing ever! It isn't an easy deck to acquire, but you have to admire the artist's attention to detail in keeping with the Rider-Waite imagery.

8-Bit Tarot by Indigo Kelleigh

Truly, this is the king of all cartoon decks. When I think of the work that must have gone into creating the 8-bit Tarot, I am in awe of it's creator, Indigo Kelleigh. This is a reworking of the traditional Rider-Waite deck, but in the style of retro computer graphics. The end result is a well-researched and striking piece of work.

Ferret Tarot by Elaine Moertl

The message of this deck appears to be simple : Ferrets have problems too! Focusing on the lives of these little furry creatures, the Ferret Tarot is a fun black and white (and quite useable!) deck. Like the Hello Kitty Tarot, this deck is unlaminated for limitless colouring in potential.
