My readings are from a cross-cultural perspective and therefore I prefer to use the Crowley deck. There are 78 cards in this deck. They contain Egyptian, Grecian, Eastern, Medieval, and Christian symbols. This is the only deck that I\u2019ve found to incorporate numerology, alchemy, astrology, and the Cabala within it. I view Tarot readings as a self-help tool, not just a fortune-telling device<\/strong><\/a>. To use them in that way would be to misunderstand and misuse them. The symbols are a psychological mechanism for transforming energy.<\/p>\n

The Minor Arcana as a whole reveals the truth of what Emerson said \u201dWhat lies before us and what lies behind us is but a small matter compared to that which lies within us.\u201d The following is an explanation of the suits…<\/p>\n

  • Disks are physical<\/li>\n
  • Swords are mental<\/li>\n
  • Cups are emotional<\/li>\n
  • Wands are spiritual<\/li>\n

    Each angel has a mastery — for example, the Knight of Swords is master of focus, will, intention, concentration, and passionate thinking. When having a Tarot reading, the cards\u00a0that are drawn are what\u00a0you are drawing in towards your life. Therefore, you can choose a different path and avoid what is not good for you. A practical application of ancient visual symbols, and in order to take care of problems you may have, one must first solve them on a mental level, then on an emotional level, and lastly on a spiritual level. If you fail to solve a problem<\/strong><\/a> you will get ill on a physical level of consciousness. Naturally, we’re taught to care for others which is the meaning of the Empress card, or the Earth Mother — but rarely are we taught to nourish and take care of ourselves!<\/p>\n

    We are given an abundance of tools in order to shift our perspective and see things in a different light. We learn where we are growing and, where we are glowing! Readings help you move through life\u2019s challenges and to burn out negativity. In a reading<\/strong><\/a> I clearly interpret each card for you and the energy that is drawing it into your life.<\/p>\n

    Here are some helpful books I recommend to deepen your understanding of the Tarot.<\/p>\n

    Jung and Tarot<\/strong><\/a><\/em> by Sallie Nichols<\/p>\n

    Man and His Symbols<\/strong><\/a><\/em> by Carl Jung<\/p>\n

    Eat Pray Love<\/strong><\/a><\/em> by Elizabeth Gilbert<\/p>\n

    The God Code<\/strong><\/a><\/em> by Gregg Braden<\/p>\n

    The Healing Power of Sound<\/strong><\/a><\/em> by\u00a0Dr. Mitchell Gaynor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
