OK. I'm still not sure how the cards get upside down though It would have to be intentional to mix them up so they have the possibility to be upside down, no? Especiall if you're putting them back in order like Sammi does.

I don't know hun

If you play with them enough, pick up ones that fall out and not focus on "how" you are putti g then back in ... it eventually happens - sometimes with new decks that natural reversing takes weeks/ months

Mach said:

OK. I do like the idea of having the deck in order for each new reading but I feel like I'm more drawn to leave the cards as they end up after each reading and that in the end, the shuffle and selection of which part of the deck to go with will end up being the natural order.

Supa. scatter them all about as if they were dancing.

I try to manipulate them as little as possible ( except the shuffle while "asking" phase ) - MAYBE ... every 6 months or so i will go in and arrange them all proper again then let flow take over again for another.5 yr

I'm excited to guide someone in a tarot reading. I only had my cards read one time and it was hardcore. The person came in to the coffee shop with 2 decks and asked if I wanted a reading. I told him I wasn't interested. He said he'd do it for free and so I agreed but I told him starting out that I would rebuke and reject a negative reading

I shuffled and cut the deck and I picked the part I was drawn to. He flips over the card and it was the 10 of Swords, with swords stabbing the man on the ground. I went and he told me that it was actually a good card and represented change not death. The second card was the queen of cups. He said coupled with the first card, it was very very good.

Then he flipped over the 3rd card and it was like sticks and leaves on a forest floor. Can't remember the actual card but he looked at it for like 30 seconds in silence. He said "I'm getting a very clear sense of water from this card. Are you a Pisces?"

Me



He took the second deck and had me shuffle and cut and when he flipped over the 4 cards, the first 3 were the same as the first 3 I had pulled from the other deck!

Mach said:

This is definitely where I'm leaning

And are you supposed to pull 4 cards or is this discretionary too?

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I don't believe in coincidence for a reason

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

nope, you can go as little or more indepth, pulling one card or making trees and crosses of several cards too, where each card you pull will determine both it's postion on the layout and area in your/client's life.


oh done now i'll leave it to the pros

Oh my. I have some studying to do

matthewgrant said:

thank you
what kind of decks did you have? why'd you get rid of them?

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

me putting them back in order is my way of "cleansing" my deck each time

i also tie them together with a quartz hanging from it... but that's just me i think

sammij said:

I had two decks, one was (I can't remember the name of it) in shades of red/pink hues and the other was just a Rider-Waite beginner deck.
I ended up throwing them away ugh i'd really rather not get into why I hope i'm not cursed or something tho...

matthewgrant said:

rebuke and reject!

sammij said:

I keep each deck wrapped in silk - often times with crystals, herbs and the such

I also often change them under the full moonlight or a dark moon night

and I usually burn a bit of white sage and run the cards over the smoke before starting a session

Mach said:

do you mean change or charge?

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Charge - I was uber multi tasking

Mach said:

I figured you weren't diapering them

OK, the cards are now naturally mixed I was trying to find a card I pulled yesterday (the first cat) and when I put the cards back together some of the deck flipped.

Hello Machalina

The very first tarot cards that were ever pulled for me were the 10 of swords and the Queen of cups.

The very first card I pulled from the tarot deck I have was the 10 of swords.

I just pulled 2 cards from the deck and one is the 10 of swords and the Queen of pentacles.


The 10 of swords deals with personal relationships. The queen of cups does too but more on a personal level with yourself and the queen of pentacles advises to believe in yourself.


Do you know of any significance between the 10 of swords and queen cards? I am intrigued that the 10 of swords keeps coming up.

Also, the 10 of swords has been the first card pulled each time it has come up for me. There has to be significance to that but what, I'm not sure.

BBL ...

I had to get this ...


I get one card each morning - usually before the sun comes up

this was this mornings card =

The Queen of Swords

suggests that my power today lies in advocation. I have been there, done that and can be trusted to judge, perceive or tell it like it is. I own my authority and honor my authentic nature and wisdom but use my sharp wit responsibly and accept that not everyone will "warm up to me." I have a sleek, keen but detached sense for quality, classic style and truth and my reputation for communicating or protecting justice, the greater good or serving as a pioneer is well-deserved. I am empowered to endure by obligation to my code and my virtue is order.

Like the Zero, ten is not normally a number associated with numerology, because it reduces to 1 (1 + 0 = 1). But there are ten Minor Arcana cards in each suit.

Ten is often a transition point from one cycle to another.

Ten is a number of completion and final ending. As one more than nine, ten often signifies "one too many."
Because ten reduces to one it is the start of a new cycle.

The Minor Arcana cards that relate to ten often signify, completion, you have finished and mastered the final challenges, and have now entered the final endings, usually of happy natures.

The Major Arcana cards corresponding to ten is; the Wheel of Fortune (10/1)

The EXACT reason I considered you as a reference! I love everything about this aspect of your person!

Mach said:

OK, you know what is intersting? I can't remember what this is called but it's a numerology thing where you add the days of your birthday to find out your power number or something like that:

03/17

3+1+7=11, which is reduced to 1, the same as 10-1+0 = 1. The fact that 2 different numbers come to the same result does that make them the same or is it different because you got to 1, through two different numbers?
