Practising Tarot readings whether it is for yourself or for others is an excellent tool for personal development. It helps you cultivate the understanding of metaphors as well as increasing your mental visual abilities and obviously build up your intuition. In the 22 arcane layout it is amazing to see that you can see in the entire lecture for the person inquiring, but also the entire lecture with the same layout for each person in her/his family and/or immediate surroundings. i.e. you can make a complete reading for each and every person connected to that inquirer. I was fascinated when I saw this during my training. with blessings to you and your love ones

ahhh....this is an interesting topic....yay! haha!
No more hazelnuts damnit!
OK, I don't work with Tarot cards, I do however work with a Power Animal Oracle deck... the deck spoke to me, that is really the reason that I bought it, the first thing that I did, was, throw the damned book away.... I meditated on each card in the deck, made my own connections with it... I use spreads that I've esssentially made up through instinct.. I am very accurate when reading for others, and, I have come to be accurate for myself.. I keep a journal of everyreading that I do. It helps as a tool... I can go back, look at the reading, the notes that I made about it, and, the date, and, see how accurate I was with it.. I think that has helped me a great deal.. You can go through the net, books, other people, to find out what a card means, or, how you should interpret them, I'm going to tell you now, use your instinct, do it the way that feels the most natural for you.. It may not make sense to anyone but you, but, it doesn't have to... Make it work for you.,...you'll learn...
Blessings lala

I feel the same way about the Ogham, lala. I have three or four different books, all with different interpretations. But, the fews speak to me of their meaning in my own life. Sometimes that agrees with the book. Sometimes it is just for me...
Hazelnuts were not aimed at you, sweetie!

Do you all think that doing readings on yourself is good or bad? Do you think that your wants/needs can make you read the cards differently than you would if it wasn't for yourself? I do readings for myself regularly. I try to view them as more a phycological exercise though. While they may be showing me my future they may also be showing me my hopes or fears. I try to look at it as a tool to help me explore and look at things in a different light than I normally would. I use the cards to really work through the situation from all angles, examine all the emotions involved as well as the subsequent actions, from the begining through the posibilities of the future. I see the future as being a very flexible, changable thing so I don't let it bother me much if the cards are showing me something bleak. The Tower shows up as an outcome and I think "Fuck! Well, what can I do to avoid that? How can I lessen it?" The flip side is that I try not to let the positive cards give me an unrealistic sense of hope or security. Just because the cards are all peachy doesn't mean that I should just sit back and let wonderous things fall into my lap cause thats just not likely to happen. I'm very much a realist. Well thats my thoughts on doing readings for yourself anyways.

Will be interesting to have someone who understands the tarot around. Maybe you can comment on some of the individual card posts I've made and tell me how the information is?

Well I'm certainly no expert. Often my feeling about a certain card is no where near the accepted interpretation. (even accepted interpretations can vary or completely contradict each other!) It can change drasticly from reading to reading even. I haven't read everything you've posted yet but it seems to be good info. I'll take a closer look and read all of it and see if there might be something I would want to add if you want?

OK, now this is getting interesting guys... How does that work exactly? I mean when I use the Ogham for example (understanding of course the two aren't very similar) the meanings of each Ogham are pretty well set by the trees. It's interesting to find out the Tarot works differently?

I don't know anything about the Ogham either. Damn, I wish I could see aura's. That would be great. I did once when I was 15 but it never happened again. Maybe that was just like sleep deprivation or something at work. lol. Emphasis on the "or something" part.

Well I understand that Ogham use isn't something that is overly popular in the world of divination so I understand that people don't understand them, they're just the only thing I have to compare the Tarot to. So, I guess what I'm asking is, when you see a card in a reading and interpret it, do you do that in accordance to the basic meaning as it pertains to the question, or do you leave it open to some personal interpretation?

I leave it open more to personal interpretation. Reason for doing this is no one is say, "textbook" examples of tarot meanings/definitions. Plus I factor in the feelings I get from the person when reading.
