how do you read them?

[~¤LilacSky¤~]

hi guys, I was just wondering how you do a reading for others in person,
for example I use the short version of the celtic cross...to me its more simple , yet not as vague as the full 10 celtic...and it seems to do just fine.
Im just looking for feedback on what you use when your reading others, and do you have a specific deck for others only?

[Dancing Bear]

I use specifically for a general reading the druidcraft... for past life i use the Voyager...

I use the celtic cross yes.. but the position meanings can change depends on how the cards read...Yes i use the wand as well.. but yes have been know to use just the cross.. I do find using the wand as well gives me a better reading.. I have also been known to pull 2-3 cards for one position also ...I am finding i link both the wand with the cross and start reading 2-3 cards in combinations Just say the outcome on the cross and the outcome on the wand can compliment each other.. or one can be negative but the otehr positive.. in turn could actually turn the negative one around a bit...which I feel gives the reading a little more depth... But then I am an Intuitive reader .. and just have to say what I see regardless of whats in front of me... the cards lead me to see..

Talking about specific decks for specific readings... here goes LOL!!

General readings ~~ Druidcraft
Past LIfe Readings ~~ Voyager
Psychic detective stuff like trying to solve crimes ~~ Da Vinci
Basic non psychic Readings (Out in public readings) ~~ Osho Zen
Halloween and just for fun on the darker side ~~ Bohemian Gothic
For serious serious questions that need a straight forward answer ~~ Either the Original Rider Waite or Runes
For my own spiritual Journey ~~ Animal Medicine cards
If I am in a Gyspy fortune teller kind of Mood ~~ Mlle Lenormand

I do have more decks but i dont use them much.. only on the odd occasion do they come out, some decks do call me.. Rider Waite is bad for that..

you asked LOL!!

[~¤LilacSky¤~]

ooo yeah the rider Waite calls me too lol...in fact that was my very first deck, given to me by my best friend when I was 17, which I really like it for reading other people I mean, to me its the most efficient,accurate for others and myself..maybe since I have had them the longest, however that mythic tarot usually ends up in my hands for my own readings.lol
the wand spread, Im not sure which one that is..
I find the basic 3 card spread past,present,future to still be a good spread to do when Im in a hurry lol..
I am looking for a more defined spread though, that tells more of the story ya know.
Im gonna have to go through my spread book today sometime..I recall many tarot readers pulling like 20 cards out for me in a reading , those were pretty accurate for me.
I do readings at work alot lol in the breakroom, my manager always comes in there, he seems to be obsessed with the cards haha..its fun though.

[Dancing Bear]

It is the Celtic cross I use...

the first part is the cross and the four cards going up the right hand side is called the wand.

Here is a good 23 card spread inc Q card... Its called the fan spread,..

it is spread out in a fan..

each position has 3 cards ..


**********4************
******3*******5*******
***2*************6****
*1********Q*********7**
**********************

as said before each position has three cards each except the Querent position..

1st position ~ The character of the enquirer and the recent past..

2nd position ~ Love life and emotional links

3rd position~ What the enquirer desires

4th Position ~ What the enquirer expects..

5th Position~ The Unexpected or the Unknown

6th Position ~ The Near future

7th Position~ The distant Future..

No Question Necessary..

have fun!!

[~¤LilacSky¤~]

thanks sweety!

I use an antique deck of Rider Wait that is older than Roni lol, seriously girl it is. Usually I try to start out with a traditional 4 corner cross corresponding to the zodiac. I became excellent doing it this way that I wasn’t sure that I wasn’t causing things to happen. Have you ever had the idea that maybe you were influencing the future rather than foreseeing it? I’m about ready to start again, I have gained a lot of knowledge sense then.

Sometimes I would even spread out the cards and let the person choose and let them place it where ever they felt it went, face down. The last one I was in earnest doing was on Memorial Day flood when I was telling a person about being in a flood. After doing the cards I felt sick and had to leave, an hour later the apartment I was in was under water.

Here is a link that shows about where I was, it the camera was turned around I think you would see the apartments I was in under water but the autos all piled up do make a statement.

www.cityoftulsa.org/CityServices/FloodControl/History.asp

Things in life at that time were getting out of hand as you might know Donna after doing that past life reading on me once.

[~¤LilacSky¤~]

lol funny ben! and thats crazy about those floods man, wow thats all i have to say, so how do you like living there anyway????haha jk
yah i also hear ya on the making things happen for sure, yep i think we for sure can manipulate things, i mean thoughts create so of course we can bend the physical objects that surround us such as tarot cards, however i take many decks and do tests haha, i sometimes hate to read for myself for that reason lol.

i need a reading i think, can someone do one for me maybe???

[rabbadar]

i became the lock nest monster and got trapped in a old old place. i took it over as a concerer, and made the streets water. i can almost using alchemical knowledges of atlantis or hmm whats it called aquarious, turn conrete into gold, or into rainbow stones. and thewn tie the knot.. soon. the lock nest monster made a tion of babies byu breeding with the sasquatch. it was like dracula and his bride, or the black widow queen and the mate, and made a zillion spider babies. it was wierd lemmie tell ya. the bible, of me, hehehe, says i like strange girls, but really it was just that i was liking strange awareness at that point in time. hehehe, i feel so silly. but yeah i predicted water streets, and using the door of time cross into those places, not to mention the disasters hurricane earthquakes etc. its not me tho, its the government and a special way that darwin, nostra, hawkings, me, and many others developed as an earth cleaning device . it starts form onwe point of truth given to every being, that shatters into eternity, and eternal forms, as you guys know.

i use a voyager deck, and another also, a few really depending on the moment. it comes right out of the moment. for that moment, difficult bneing fluid and thru time, because it reads for now, but then again you can read for tomorrow if you want to, just like one can program the newspaper for tommor of today of tommor of next week haha or whatever you decide and tie down at THAT moment. if you want a reading sweetie i can give one, bwahahahaha, and it will be 100% accurate to yuour eyes. but really i would just say what do you want to occur? and have that occur for you, if anything is in your paths way to that goal you would either tranverse right thru it, not even see it, or you would be stopped by it, and the moment all around you would give hints and tips, very obviously as to how to proceed. this world gives anything you want, so long as you listen, to your attention span before you. they are aware. there are many many reality programmers as i, that program incredible things along the path, a good heart sweetuie you have. much love.

[Dancing Bear]

Since replying to this thread i have changed my ways of reading LOL!!
Evolving i would like to call it LOL!!

I still use the celtic cross.. but my own version.. I still use the druidcraft, which is falling to bits in my hands LOL!! (joke , not that bad but nearly )

I also now use the Pendulum much more than ever before.. I have made my own cloth, which is similar to the ouija board.. letters, numbers, yes no maybe, and for decoration painted a Celtic dragon on it ( my own version LOL)
I actually did 2 pendulum parties over the weekend.. and tuned into spirit with it.. It has amazing results..and spot on..

Definately not swaying away form the Tarot, (purchased the Arthurian the other day ) but am now starting to incorporate the pendulum into some readings..

Do any of you use more than the Tarot?

[~¤LilacSky¤~]

thanks Derek, Im not sure if I need one, my dreams have been showing me more than i need toknow, so thats answers db lol.
I just use tarot as of lately and dreams, oh and I use astrology cards for a bit more guidance if need be, I dont recall what they are called though, but they are really neat..ill have to get back to you.

[Dancing Bear]

I have a set of astrology cards, and have never been able to work out how to use them LOL!!!
Yeh !! I use dreams too at times, if i ever remember them LOL!

Glad to see you back Lilac xx

[Dancing Bear]

Ok! I have been having a debate on the difference between reading intuitively and Psychically...
looking at the dictionary meanings of both...
i would say I read the tarot On a Psychic Level.. and read the symbols and images, trusting my instincts to where my eye is drawn.. there is also an inner knowing, dunno whether this is psychic or not, but there is an inner knowing what thsoe cards are saying , it like comes in a flash,, its a job to retain that information and then put it into lamens terms for the sitter...That can be hard,,

to answer benhangen about whether you feel as if you are manipulating the future due the cards that fall.. Yes at timesi do.. I actually know the outcome already before the cards are laid down onthe table.. so i got the sitter to shuffle, I still knew and the cards came out as i figured they would..
this does not always happen .. but more often than not...
I think it is having forsight rather than manipulation ..
I have been thinking lately about, seers, psychic, mediums, readers.. etc...
we are a curious little lot.. needing to know the future ourselves, enough to take up the practice we have.. we have this desire to know why, what when and how.. probably a bit more than that LOl!!
but we are such nosey buggers, that we have become readers LOl!!
Of course the burning desire to help others, But the the act of throwing those cards and eagerly awaiting to see what falls (esp: when reading for oneself) It is a passsion only another reader could understand.. that feeling of anticipation as you carefully flip them over, wondering what the hell they have in store for you...That is actually pure magic..

When I wrote that DB you were aware that I was speaking of myself and asking if others do the same. I think a male that is adept at doing this finds this to be an alluring quality. Maybe that’s why the attributes of the beast are given to the male gender, I wouldn’t leave females out of the power loop but males are more accustomed to becoming power hungry because of eons of ideology. Seems that the playing field is becoming a more leveled playing field lately and at a very rapid pace.

The question of psychic/intuitive is irrelevant, much like not having the knowledge of space/time being the same. So do you change future actions? I haven’t when a person is sitting before me that I am aware of. It’s like entering that dream state where upon waking you just are not certain of the dream. Well that’s what I go through, a bit of a fog and lost in translation. My dictionary gives intuitive as: the power or faculty of knowing things without conscious reasoning, would that not be psychic? And psychic as: lying outside the sphere of physical science, that sounds a bit intuitive to me.

I haven’t done one in a great while, now I’m going to have to dig out the cards and see what happens.

[labell]

hehe i wanted to talk about tarot!!!!!!!!!
theres this one deck its called the voyager deck, and when i red it, it was exactly what i was thinking
the cards from the Delta energies, are made right there, creating the deck!!!! with you.
and so i find the deck to be made for you, and as one with you.
wondering is good, i call it like shrinking the 'known' or the tonal
that balance is crucial i think in tarot reading with others, especially in regards to 'helping' others
or divining
and yet the other hand is all tonal, which is all knowingness, of what is coming
that is also important in control of the future, or alignment of energy configuration in healing
(which i am iffy about)
if one is healing do they know, or do they wonder?
then is the knowing of faith
which all plays out in the cards relationship with the reader
and the readers attention, (horizon'd) on who is being read

[~¤LilacSky¤~]

yah I still find it much easier to read for myself than otheres lol....I have trouble seeing their side of the cards, since there are so many meanings for each card depending on the person and what they are laying before me.

[Dancing Bear]

Labell I use the Voyager too!! I love it.. Yes it does bring out a knowingness doesnt it..

Lilac I have the opposite i find it easier for others than myself LOL!!

Hope all is good your end

[~¤LilacSky¤~]

the voyager sounds familiar, how old is it?? im gonna go look it up.
things are good db, how bout yourself??

[Dancing Bear]

All good here Lilac.

I am still using the Druidcraft.
I still use the Pendulum
I am still using the Voyager

and I have now aquired the Ancient Egyptian Tarot.. interesting deck.. very lovely.. I really am not interesting in reading the rest of the book. as It is already conflicting with me LOL!!
So i have put the book down and i am going to start reading as the images speak.

I am on the lookout for the book, Papyrus of Ani writeen by E.A Wallis Budge. I may need to order it in.

I guess i have become a tarot collector, Or a collector of pretty pictures on Tarot Cards LOL!

[Dancing Bear]

Hey Ben if you are still hanging around Sorry i didnt get to respond to your post..

I hope i have got you now LOL!

I think as readers, I feel that we dont change the future, as I belive all sitters still have free will..
regardless of what we say..

WOW those floods.. do you think you were feeling sick becuse on a level you knew they were coming, or was it the reading itself that actually made you ill ?..
I hope you saved your deck!! and all wasnt too ruined.

Love and Light to you
DB xx
