The real way of reading Tarot and Oracle cards

When it comes to Tarot and Oracle reading, there seems to be much misinformation spreading around, partly because there are tons of individuals dipping their toes in fortune-telling of late, and suddenly anyone who owns a deck is an intuitive reader.
I will try to address as much as I can in this short guide. Of course, every professional reader does a reading differently, but in general, they should all follow a similar modality.
Let’s start with what you need to have an accurate card reading. The following are indispensable.
- Your spirit guides or team
- Good Tarot and/or Oracle decks
- Heightened intuition/One or many of the Clairs, especially claircognizance and clairaudience. Clairvoyants may find that scrying tools such as crystal balls or mirrors are a preferable choice.
Often, we see many people readily hopping onto the tarot reading bandwagon without prior spiritual cultivation to establish a strong connection with the spirits (1) and to hone their innate psychic gifts (3).
These two elements may even take years of spiritual growth to reach a certain level where one can truly and consistently see what lies ahead in the future, what stands obscure in the present, and what lays bare in the past. Really, there isn’t any shortcut.
In fact, if you ask me, “How can I learn tarot?” I will tell you right away to start forming a working relationship with the spirits and developing your spiritual abilities. Tarot and oracle cards are divination tools used to receive messages from the spiritual realm. Period.
Once you have the message senders (spirits) and the skillset to interpret their messages (Clairs), you can pretty much quickly pick up any type of divination tool. Say, with ten years of spiritual development, you will only require a couple of months to master tarot.
Therefore, if you are someone looking for a card reader, it’s best you find an individual who has a deep spiritual foundation as well. This way you will get your money well spent.
Of course, there are some who insist that there is no need to call upon spirits in order to read cards. To do so is akin to repurposing tarot/oracle to some type of entertaining card game, which in my opinion, is doing an injustice to the cards.
And then we will encounter some naysayers who proclaim tarot/oracle as demonic. That’s far from the truth unless you do intentionally call upon a demon for answers.
The original tarot was introduced to humanity by the Angel of Life Archangel Metatron (side note: there’s no better tarot teacher other than him), bestowing us a powerful mechanism to bridge our physical material world with the divine spirit world.

Now let’s walk through the basics of doing a tarot/oracle card reading.
First of all, learn how to shuffle the cards. This is arguably the most important step that I cannot stress enough. Sometimes you will find it difficult to shuffle due to the size or thickness of the cardstock, then that deck is not suitable for you.
Find one you can shuffle at ease. There are plenty of good and affordable Tarot decks out there. You don’t need this kind of frustration.
Personally, I do overhand shuffle with a relaxed grip and light pressure (firm grip with stronger force when I’m pressed for time. Spirits I really need answers NOW!).
Then ask the spirits your question and shuffle until the cards get flipped (jumped) out of the deck with their aid. So now you will have the correct cards to answer the question you enquire, increasing the accuracy of the reading.
Tap into your intuition, or even better, utilise your psychic Clair (if you are one) to interpret the cards. How does it even work? you may ask. For me I’m a claircognizant (clear knowing), which means the information is directly sent into my brain through the crown chakra.
So, you must be thinking again, if she is a claircognizant, why does she even need tarot or oracle cards in the first place, since the information just appears in her mind?
That’s where you must understand for claircognizance to work, there MUST be some kind of a trigger, a sign if you will. This may come in the form of a picture, a word, a sound, a number, an animal, or simply anything under the sun that the spirits choose to manifest physically to embed the (short) message. Longer or more complex messages typically show up in dreams for me.
Once the trigger is set off, the download begins. Then I will know the entirety of the message. In the case of tarot/oracle reading, whatever appears on the cards can act as triggers.
Every tarot card can hold different meanings, and you will need to apply it to the situation at hand. For example, Queen of Pentacles can represent a wife, a girlfriend, or a female querent with regards to her career, so on and so forth.
Usually, you will have to ask the spirits some clarifying questions and may even need several card spreads to see the different sides of the story in order to piece up the whole picture.
Sometimes our receivers can get a little blocked due to the daily gunk we absorb (negative people or bad news or gossips etc.), affecting our vibration. Regular spiritual cleansing and usage of Psychic Vision products will help to improve your ability to foretell the probable future.

As for cleansing/smudging the deck, if it makes you feel at ease, go ahead and do so. I do not. I may, however, pass the deck over the flame of a candle dressed with Psychic Vision Oil and herbs such as Althaea and Buchu.
Cleansing your own energies is far more important than cleansing the decks. Remember, true divination has very little to do with the decks themselves but a lot of emphasis on your level of spirituality.
