Tarot Spells on Eve of Guru Poornima @ 21st July 2013

I had the most amazing experience yesterday on the eve of Guru Poornima. My day started late and was anticipating the evening's "Tarot Spell" event. I had a couple of clients who had signed up for it but as it was raining since morning and there were traffic jams everywhere I doubted who all will actually turn up.

The event was suppose to start at 7:30pm and at 5:30pm I realised I didn't have "Lavender Oil" required ingredient in one of the spell. I had a quick tea and toast, went outside to catch an auto to the store. I waited for 45 min in rain on roadside to catch an auto. Somehow got one, paid him extra and he dropped me on half way :-(. I was so anxious that I forgot to ask help from Angels. Called a friend cribbing about my situation who reminded that I can pray; yes it happens to me too. Said one small prayer, somehow reached the store, grabbed some candles along with the oil and reached home back by 7:30.

Until 8:30pm no one turned up and I was doubted anyone actually would. Within next 20 mins all the four clients turned up, huffing and puffing and drenched in rain. Good thing I had prepared some extra tea and they were very glad to have it.

Prepping up each client, creating the intentions, setting up the altar and doing the spell takes 30-45 min approximately, and they all waited for their turns very patiently. Everything went smooth and continued till 11:30 pm. ( Yay I could channel for so long )

Oh it didn't end then. After that was turn of my roommate, her cousin and myself. I took a break and by the time I could get time to meditate myself it was 4am.

It was very energetic and fulfilling experience for me. :-)

Tarot Card Reading for Self

Doing Tarot Reading for one-self is quite different in comparison to doing for others. One of the major reason being you are the one who is asking  the question and you only answer them :-). Also it might lead to a series of questions which I like to call as "cascading effect".

Eg, You are asking should you do A or B , or how would A choice be for you than B choice.You get a Four of Cups for A and 2 of Wands for B. As soon as you see Four of Wands you get inquisitive and want to know why? What would cause that situation? Who all are trying to influence you? and there you go ( ignoring the 2OW) ...before you know you have most of the cards out and left more confused than before.

Hence 6 important tips for doing Tarot for Self

1. Keep a notepad or writing pad with pen / pencil handy. A personal diary would be best.
2. Write all your questions before doing Tarot.
3. Beside the each question write the Tarot cards you picked up for that question. You may also write your understanding and interpretation but mentioning the cards is vital. You may use abbreviations for eg 2OW ( 2 of wands ) , KOS ( King of Swords ) etc.
4. Note the date of reading, anything special about that day to remember by.
5. Note the Tarot Deck you used too.
6. Read the questions and answers once before closing the reading and if anything is unclear pick a card for gaining more clarity.

You may also record the reading session.

Following the above would avoid you to fall into the trap where you keep on taking out cards till you get the answer you want! You can always come back and read your predictions for self after some days and analyse them, then you may realise the significance of noting down the exact cards for each question. As maybe when you were doing the reading you were so emotional and missed some important signs.

These are very basic but essential things to remember while doing Tarot for One-Self, else like in the picture above you would have most of the cards out and no clear answer!
