Welcome back to another episode of the Tarot Readers Academy TV & Podcast. The incredible Melissa Cynova, author of Kitchen Table Tarot and Tarot Elements drops a lot of #TarotTruthBombs in this episode and talks about how to make the Tarot work for you.
The Tarot can be totally approachable and Melissa and I both agree that it is an invaluable tool to help you grow. So get your eyes and ears ready for a fun and down to earth chat about the tarot. Just a warning loves, there is some swearing in this episode, Melissa and I are both #swearbears.
We cover in this episode:
Busting some of the myths Melissa heard when she first starting working with the Tarot
How beginners can move past these myths – gatekeeping is very limiting – elitism
It’s now easier to understand things that were previously out of reach through modern technologies which give access to things that were previously unavailable
Still some stigma around practicing tarot including some superstitions:
Shuffling and cutting decks a certain
Buying your own tarot decks
Requiring a certain amount of training before you start reading
Wrap in silk and sleep with it under your pillow
Can’t read for yourself or you can only read for yourself
If you lose a card your deck is completely ruined
It’s mostly for women
Whatever is practical for you is that should be what your tarot practice is – whatever works for you
Tarot is a tool and can be used however the reader wants – saying someone’s usage is invalid because it doesn’t match yours is bullshit
Imprinting of peoples’ religious beliefs onto the tarot. It’s ok to have a spiritual practice, to use tarot in a sacred space and carry out ritualistic readings
That you can use the Tarot for business coaching, predictive tool, brainstorming tool
How to make the tarot more approachable and making it your own powerful working tool
The importance of learning the bones – core meaning to the tarot, a system, and a structure
Everyone sees the cards a little differently – find the deck that speaks to you
What daily practices to use to make the tarot more approachable – Research and read about individual cards and write about it in your journal
Need to know who you are and what you want from the cards
That the Tarot can be anything you want it to be
Why it is important to research, question and challenge what you think you know and what is presented to you.
