How to Use Tarot
New to tarot cards? We guide you on how to properly receive ancient wisdom.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1. Clear Your Mind
Find a quiet space, relax your mind, and think about your question or situation. Take your time and focus slowly without rushing.
Step 2. Clarify Your Question
Prepare specific and open-ended questions. Questions like "How can I...?" or "What do I need?" work well. Insightful questions are more effective than simple yes/no questions.
Step 3. Choose Your Cards
Trust your intuition when choosing cards. The first feeling is important. Don't overthink it and choose cards that naturally attract you.
Step 4. Read the Interpretation
Understand the basic meaning of the card, then connect it to your situation. Think about how the card's message can apply to your current circumstances.
