A Card a Day

October 20, 2008

Since it seems to be a matter of some difficulty for me to write here lately, I have decided to begin an exercise to not only require me to write on a daily basis, but also to refresh and renew my skills in reading the cards and reacquaint myself with some of my lesser-used decks. I’m hoping also to help to teach others how to learn to interpret the Tarot (and any other Cartomancy system) for themselves.

One of the most basic ways to learn to read Tarot is to pull a card a day, and then review how it relates to the events of that day. Starting today, I am going to pull a card every day from one of my decks, post it here, and then in the evening (or the next day if necessary) write about how it related to my day. Also I will include any insights discovered in a particular card and pretty much anything else that pops into my head. After all, isn’t that the way we learn to read intuitively?

So, today I pulled the Three of Bats (Three of Swords) from my Halloween Tarot. Later today I will post my comments on the day as it relates to this card. Those of you who are regular readers here will probably know that wrote about this card in my Dreaded Card series. If you are interested in reading that post, you can find it here. There are certainly ways of finding a positive spin on any card, no matter how dire it may appear at first encounter. I may or may not apply those ideas here. It depends on what all happens today.

Whatever else you can say about it, it’s an interesting concept. See you later this evening with my thoughts on the Three of Bats.
