I don't actually "like" one card the best, but there is one of special interest and i'd like to share that with you:

The mother of sticks in the east from the Haindl tarot, in this case shown with a picture of kali copulating with a dead shiva.

Don't get me wrong, i have no idea how to use tarot. i don't even own a set of cards.

Like ten years ago someone spreaded the cards for me and everything was interesting and fine until, after some other cards which meant this or that, he showed me what he called "my life card" - the mother of sticks.
The guy became pissed instandly, did'nt even finish the spread.
"You're going to destroy and rebuild, that's all you'll ever going to do" or something similar.

I didn't knew back then, but i was already on that kind of spiritual path - it just was never said in such direct words.
For me it felt like being some kind of emulsifier for other people: friends and partners. Met them, hung around, helped them break free however they needed and that was it, i moved on. or live made me move on.
Took me a while to deal with that.
I was freaked up pretty bad sometimes with that part of my destiny, but in the last years the extremes have been cut off. i managed to filter the people surrounding me better and not get that much harm myself.
being sober for almost seven years helped to have a clear view on people and listening to my feelings.

but that tarot card... man it haunts me. freaking core memory.

Facade.com.  You can learn them all.  When you start a post off like that I really don't want to read the rest of your post.  Like many on the Shroomery with me I am sure.  Like anything else, you study and learn and live life and gives a lot of insight on humanity/life.

They don't ask for money.  Not an endorsement of them but it is an easy way to learn IME.  Do a reading on yourself with the celtic cross spread.  See if it fits your life or not. 

Once again.  Just deal with side ads if you want the easy way.  To you I sense it is a good way to start if you choose.  Not endorsing it, give it a go and let me know and I want nothing from you or them and not involved with this website but I use it.:shrug:

I just ask, what are my experiences going to be for January?  Or things like that and it just reflects you and what you are projecting and creating in your life.  Try it or not, really don't care.

Don't think of the tarot as shysters and I get how they take advantage of people.  People with wisdom can see through fakeness easily.

I've yet to get a negative read/spread on a basic 7 card Major Arcana layout, every single day, for the last week and a half.

The Magician is my card, 100%. The amount of coincidence since embracing that archetype is through the fucking roof and I don't even care if I'm placebo-ing myself, my income is rising through exciting new connections, precisely as intended.

Yeah.  A reflection of what one is creating.  Nothing is worse than drawing the ruin card.  Is a fitting symbol.  Lying down with all those swords in one.  Tower is one I don't like as well. 

Like a mirror, it is just a reflection IME and one can change that.  Also understand oneself and humanity better.  Instead of just going through life unconscious.  Be careful with that. 

Most people think it is just, will I be rich, will I marry or have this girlfriend I desire?  Dumb shit.  I just view it as a reflection, and once again, to right the ship as a metaphor with my life.  I think you get that.  Am not a teacher.  And no, my abundance is quite good overall in life.

Enjoy it but see the transient nature of it is what I keep telling myself.  And another card of just coasting without the effort and it will turn and just expecting it to be that way "with negation of effort", basically lazyness.

You don't seem that way.  Enjoy it and see prosperity for what it is.  What truly matters.  What is it in your life that truly matters?  I dislike unasked for advice but I can tell I am pretty much preaching to the choir. 

That was, and still my mistake.  Just coasting.  With you, just take cautions.  You are teaching me as I am you, if you get that.  Many people don't, some do, I like the one's that do, mostly, and are not lost in illusion and societal conditioning.

The shifting world and all its complexities.  The World card.  I like that one.  Had to remind myself why I do.  Is definitely not a straight line.  Life is interesting and then it all shifts back to just gratitude to me.  When I am in synch.  Seems that you are and am happy for you.

Learned today seeing my doctor I have hope.  Nothing to me is more valuable in life than that.  Reminds me of living in Seattle years back and the fanciest and expensive Hotel and this twenty something dressed up in the finest fashion one can buy and wear.

Our eyes met, he was in a wheelchair and looked as miserable as the worst homeless person you could see on the street.  Has always stuck with me. 

Thank you for your posts.  It is causing me to remember.  Don't take it as burden.  I am ok in my life and my choices in it.

Correct. The purpose of the Tarot is to show you if you continue on your current trajectory, this is most probable of an outcome for you.

Almost anything except The Tower is a good sign, even the Death card has mostly positive implications lol.

No need to thank this is effortless for me, so I know it's "right" in terms of behavior.

:pm: me whenever you want to chat, dude! :sunny::levitate:

Maybe in time.  Sorting through a lot of shit right now in life, like putting pieces of a puzzle together.  Not going to write a long post.  One of the downfalls of working customer service for so long and typing 50 wpm. 

I believe your life is going well.  That you get the value of integrity.  Truth has its own power.  I love that saying.  One can tell a million lies but truth, it just shatters it all.  So much of the bullshit and misery and fakeness.  And I know you get that.

Hope the best in your journey.

What do you think about The Tower meaning putting pieces together.. solving a puzzle..

Kind of like how the tower of Babel was shattered into many pieces and the language was broken apart in different dialects..

You can get your own meaning from it and interpret it that way. Thing about the Tarot is you can't just limit it to something extreemly specific.  To me it is literally the death card or catastrophe in ones life card. 

I don't get the mystery of the tower of babel and languages mixed up so they couldn't get to heaven.  And to me it is not about just building a large building in the sky.  I don't know.  That is what I dislike about religion.  My late Father was a seminary teacher for the LDS church so I know all the scriptures and the stories.  But no one can ever say, I don't know. 

Puzzle solving I am doing is in the now and life now.  My perception of it and where it is going as well as my spiritual progression which are connected of course like everyone else. 

Feels like a juggling act or like something on the tip of the tongue, as the saying goes, but just can't put it together yet.  Which is fine, used to feel like life is a race but now it is more of just trusting of you will get it when you get it.

Death card is a rebirth in a positive way in ones life.  And once again if the tower or ruin card comes up in a reading, I get realigned really quick.

Meditating about it, is not complicated unless one makes it so, Just sitting on my couch and letting my thoughts come together in stillness/silence.  Mind does it for you, putting the pieces of the puzzle together everyday if one will allow it. 

Smart phones, t.v., music, people, endless stimuli.  Just give oneself 5 minutes of stillness and quiet and see what is going through your mind, the thoughts, and the energy you give to those thoughts.  When the mind is blank, you can within reason create more of life to your liking.

That made me think.  Monkey mind, the clattering of symbols in the brain/thoughts, and just letting them pass through, the distractions, and then, clarity.  Life sucks and am bloody well fucked.  That saying makes me laugh.

Yet, it really isn't.  Time for some crab cakes and a large salad for breakfast!  Happy New Year!

Thank you for your kind words. Truth, as it's best understood and most useful to humans, is what I strive for. Many claim Truth doesn't exist (keep saying it, take your time LOL), while exemplifying traits of selective objectivity as if it were anyway. That's exactly what humans do.

TL;DR = most humans are walking, talking bags of psychological projection and contradiction, and claim those precepts as ontologically empirical for everyone.

TL;DR 2 = people project their own shortcomings as the limitations of reality for all participants, because they the increased lack self-awareness to realize what they're creating for themselves.

My January reading.

Give me a favorite tarot spread besides that.  No disrespect,  I just don't like that deck.  If you choose to.  Everything is will of course.  And if not, I will be OK.

The card at the top of the staff represents the ultimate outcome should you continue on this course. Two of Swords (Peace): Contradictory characteristics brought together as a means of resolving a conflict. Refusing to be ruled by negative emotions. Strife brought to a close through clarity of mind and restraint of force. Turning a blind eye to the minor infractions of others.


Yeah.  That works.  And yes I do believe in this shit.  Self-realignment.

Just arrived:



I'll admit, I was a little skeptical of black and white Tarot, or anything other than the standard Rider-Waite, but these are PACKED with symbolism. They even have what I'd consider more useful base descriptions of each card, right on the card. It's almost like these are the real deal, and the R-W is more of an iconic cultural deal. I'd showcase or wear artwork from the R-W Tarot, but I feel the Hermetic is the working man's Tarot deck, if that makes sense.

I already feel a natural "pull" towards this deck regarding doing Tarot for others, daily readings, general divinations, etc.

I'm utilizing the above two decks and the following books as additional guidance/resources on this topic (all highly, highly suggested for anyone serious about this stuff):

Be careful man if you get into dark magick.  Like using pentagrams and shit and summoning things and rituals.  Was fortunate I didn't fuck myself over.  But god the price I had to pay to learn those lessons.

IMO and experience we are all drawn to certain decks.  Mine is Haindl, but one can learn from all of them.  I just don't fuck with the voodoo one, that is nothing but negative to me and I am not racist in anyway. 

Just, I don't want to know if you get that.  Just a bad vibe to it.  Just my take.  And no reading Crowley books.  Lol.  Seriously, good unasked for advice.  I could go into more detail about it but really don't want to.  Learn the hard way if you choose or not.  Free will is great.

I use Tarot to physically and spiritually progress and more about humanity and same with the I Ching though they make it a lot more complicated.

Without sounding elitist on the topic my friend - because I appreciate your warning because it's spot on and RARE to hear it articulated that way - trust me I have colleagues in the field and I'm versed in avoiding negative forces/entities through YEARS of parapsychology research and experimentation, navigating bullshit channeling claims, abductions claims, the line between genuine ET and paranormal phenomena, where they overlap, an actual negative hostile alien agenda, etc.

They all target humans new to energy work who don't know any better.

Are you, or anyone on these forums, familiar with conspiracy research legend Tom Montalk of Montalk.net?

I work with him! :sunny:

I legitimately think his stuff is too much even for this crowd LOL. That's how you know there's gold there!

Yeah.  That was a bit arrogant.  From your other posts shouldn't have posted that was from them.  blah.  I feel dumb.  On with your life and pursuits in it. 

Think I am going to be up all night.  My substances.  Thank you for pointing it out to me.  I can feel superior when I am not.  I can sense you to a degree and I am not.  Just take precautions and explore but what I do sense when actually taking time to think about it a bit is, you know what you are doing not to kiss your ass.  Have learned some humility and forget that at times.

Best man.  And post experience that is of worth if you choose to.  Will read it.

The Tarot decks I use most often are the African American Tarot (African folklore legends) and the Hanson-Roberts Tarot (European fairytale themed).

If you gotta learn Tarot, get a Rider White Tarot, and only them move to another type of deck.

If you start with another kind of deck you will be out of tune with the diviners community. Its really best to start with Rider White.
