Do you want to learn more about yourself and gain insights? Tarot cards can provide the solution. You will receive answers to questions and insight into certain themes in your life. Very interesting, but how does that actually work?
Tarot cards
You can easily teach yourself how to lay and read Tarot cards. You have to do something for it. You are not whispered an answer and there is no answer written on the cards. The principle is actually quite simple: you ask a specific question that you want to gain insight into or an answer to. Then you turn over a number of cards and read them. This allows you to make connections between your question and the cards.
Major and Minor Arcana
A set of tarot cards consists of the Minor Arcana and the Major Arcana. Do you want to take a critical look at your life as you live it now? That’s what the Minor Arcana is for. Here are 56 cards numbered from one to ten. These cards can be found in four different suits and can be divided into Cups, Swords, Pentacles and Wands. You will also find the King, Queen, Knight and Squire here, or the court cards. If you take a slightly larger approach in terms of issues or topics, you use the Major Arcana. Here you will find 22 cards with archetypes. The illustrations on the Major Arcana cards all mean something different.
How does it work?
We have explained drawing tarot cards before, but how does it actually work? Let’s dive into it a little deeper. There is no specific answer to how tarot cards work, because it also depends on how you use them and how you view them. A common explanation is that it all has to do with the vibes you radiate and strive for. In spirituality we also call this energetic vibrations. These vibrations are everywhere. Although everyone has them, we are not aware of them. This also applies to tarot cards. Nowadays we often say that we want to be able to vibe with someone. That’s really just a modernized way of saying that the energetic vibrations match each other. We want to be on the same waveline and that is why you attract people with the same energy. Sounds a little less vague and a little more logical, right?
Intuition
Those energetic vibrations have to do with your unconsciousness. You attract not only people with the same vibration, but also events. Reflection and analysis therefore play a major role in this. Why did the things that happened today happen at that particular time? So simple: you attract what you radiate. That can be both positive and negative, but you can at least learn a lesson from it. Laying tarot cards also works this way. You already know the answer to the question you are asking, but you are not fully aware of it yet. That is why you see the answer in the cards you place. It’s already in you. It’s all about association and intuition. Which card do you draw and what do you see in it? And what does the card really mean? Make connections, listen to your gut feeling and trust your intuition. By asking clear questions and going into it with an open mind, you will soon answer your questions yourself. It is a very nice way to get to know yourself better and gain insight.
