Understanding Symbols In Tarot Card Readings

By Stacey Burt


When it comes to psychic readings and the occult, there are several options for readers and those seeking a reading. One of the most important aspect in receiving an accurate reading in any format is that the individual obtaining the reading must also believe in the power of tarot card readings. The next, is to allow the individuals to participate in the reading by shuffling and cutting the cards.

The symbols associated with different tarot decks all represent the same energies. Although while some decks may show pentacles, others stones. Whereas, generally all the elements are presented in one fashion or another, generally through beautiful imagery on each card. Most decks contain the major, and minor arcana; Although, there are some decks which may only contain one or the other.

One of the best way to learn about Tarot is to attend a local workshop, or learn as much as possible through various online occult websites. If an area has an annual spiritual or psychic faire, or if there is an art, music, renaissance or spiritual festival in the area, readers can often be found at these events. Whereas, there are also those who work out of private offices, and in local entertainment districts like 6th Street in Austin, Texas, or Jackson Square in New Orleans Louisiana's infamous French Quarter.

Not only are there a number of different tarot decks now available, each deck generally offers a number of different layouts. So, when a reader acquires a new deck, there is often a learning curve in which the individual must learn the different meanings related to each card as well as the different layouts in which that particular deck works best for various readings.

While some readers provide a choice of different reading layouts to clients, others only use one deck by one artist, especially if that deck has proven to assist in foreseeing issues with others that have played out in the past. It is believed the Max Heindel deck is one of the most powerful with regards to psychic energy and picking up and exchanging energies between reader and client.

Music, renaissance, spiritual and other festivals are often good places to find tarot readers. Most often these readers have to pay for a booth or other location. As such, it is imperative that clients provide not only the requested base fee but a nice gratuity when and where possible. Participants generally also have to pay for insurance, and post a sign stating that services are for entertainment purposes only.

While some palmists and psychics can be found working independently, or for local companies in entertainment districts, festivals or Pagan bookstores, others work out of private home and offices. Currently, phone and online offerings are beginning to outperform local and traveling psychics. Although, a resurgence I freak shows could also result in a resurgence of fortune tellers at carnivals as well as other festivals around the world.

As with any aspect of the occult, alien life, myths, and mysteries like sasquatch, there are going to be skeptics. These individuals generally hold no ill will against psychics or other researchers, though some have been known to have been arrested for fraud over time. As such, it is often highly recommended that those providing these services identify as doing so for entertainment purposes only.
