Hi
As I said in the heading I'm new here so if someone thinks this post needs to be moved somewere I'm sorry! this site is soo big I've already gotten lost!
Ok here's the question do our guides, guide us when we read tarot cards? Is it insperation/blind luck(!) that links an idea with a card that logicly shouldnt go with it or some one/thing giving us a nudge?
I would love to hear other peoples oppinons about this!
Another small question that links on and I dont think is big enough for its own post is, now and again I'll get a feeling that I'm very much in the here and now, not just when reading the cards, Its almost like de ja vous but without the being in the situation before or feeling that "I've done this before" feeling almost like that moment in time is hyper real if you get what I mean, do you think I'm being prodded to pay attention to something? ( the other option is I need my head looked at LoL)

Any comments or oppinions would be great!

Thanks Delirium xxx

Hiyas,

I won't move this question because it will be interesting to see the responses it gets here in the psychic forum and if wished we can move it later or re-ask in tarot?  

Interesting question. I will answer first from a tarot point of view......  There are many ways of reading the tarot. Some learn the meanings by rote, memorising each card and then when that card comes up they say their speech. Boring but effective most of the time.  Others learn intuitive tarot reading like the tarot course I teach here This bonds what you see and feel from a card to the meaning as defined by your knowledge and experiences, and so can bring up individual meanings that might fit better. Then we can drift onto psychic tarot reading, where the psychic sub-conscious of the reader takes over and adds what they see and feel, and last but by no means least we have the spiritual tarot reader that uses their spirit guide(s) to pass on the messages. Sometimes 'spirit guides' help unknowingly whatever kind of reading you are giving, but they are not necessary for a tarot reading or for that fact any kind of 'tool' reading angel cards or animal cards etc.

You might be interested in the later lessons in the learn tarot course which really help to advance your connection with the cards.

But it all boils down to one thing .... really... anyone can pick up a set of cards and give a reading but will it be any good?  That all depends on the reader!

Delirium,

For me I believe tarot like all other tools (pendulum, runes, etc) can be influenced by outside forces, meaning spirit, which may or may not be your guide. As such I believe that readings done by tarot can be unduly influenced, since to me spirit are just like people on this plane/material world, except that they are in spirit. In short, there are spirit with good and bad indentations. That being said, I also believe that tarot can be influenced by your subconscious. In that sense, I believe it gives some people confidence in giving readings/advice, whereas without the cards, they may feel apprehensive. My advice to you is to trust your heart (spiritual heart); trust your gut/intuition. If you feel that something is not right, then step back. Not everyone needs a reading. It's a great way to open up and to explore new things, but don't allow yourself to rely on them. In other words, don't let them be your crutch. If you feel you need them, let them be a doors that you may open other doors. I hope that makes sense.

btw, it's great to be in the now eh? Enjoy life. You will get "nudges" all the time. Not every nudge is a lesson or a message. Sometimes they are distractions. Don't get distracted.

Maybe the past, present and future are all right now. :o

As we evolve in our own knowledge, spirituality, skills, getting help from many sources may help (or confuse) depending upon the source.  You have been given advice to the tarot.  May I suggest help from the mediumship aspect.  Check out the course material at Mystic Academy on Mediumship.
