How To Be Psychic: Use Tarot Cards To Tap Into Your Intuition
Here’s how I learned to read tarot cards:
I had my first deck before I knew what to do with it. I’d pick cards with friends, check the meaning in the instruction book, and we'd try to figure out what it meant.
Then I met a witch (as you do) named Erica. I interviewed her for my university paper on how the perception of witches throughout history has reflected the treatment of all women (hint: it hasn't been great for either group). Erica mentored me on the cards, teaching me her customized tarot spread - one I’ve since modified, but still use today.
The turning point in the quality of my readings came when I lost the little instruction book. If I wanted to continue reading tarot cards, I was on my own.
What initially appeared to be a daunting and terrifying obstacle ended up being incredibly liberating. I started trusting what popped into my mind instead of writing it off as my imagination and letting the cards speak to me rather than trying to force information.
Over 30 years later, I've developed a very specific dialogue with my cards that is constantly evolving. So, if you want to read tarot cards, my main advice is this: put away the little instruction book and start reading.
Get to know your cards. Trust your gut. Rinse and repeat.
