123 How I Read the Tarot Cards Intuitively

Click to enlarge. Deck used: Pictorial Key Tarot

Many of the readings I do are based on a question rather than a set spread such as the Zodiac spread or the Celtic Cross.

It's not often I lay the cards out for a deck interview and realise that they spell love at first sight but that is exactly what happened when I did the deck interview with the Tarot Illuminati. So I really don't want to waste any time talking about this deck but would much rather let it speak for itself. You will find more pictures of the Tarot Illuminati Kit by Erik C Dunne and Kim Huggens below the interview. Enjoy the visual feast!

The surrounding cards tell me what I need to understand, accept and transmute.

In the meantime, subtle changes are happening on many levels and last night I had an intensive dream where I married my Animus. I felt the two might be related... channelling and hieros gamos (sacred wedding between God and Goddess) but I couldn't quite grasp how.

Deck Interview with the Original Renaissance Pleasure Faire Tarot

Some decks are reserved and others warm and friendly - This deck, the Original Renaissance Pleasure Faire Tarot, definitely falls into the latter category. It's one of those decks that becomes a buddy from the first reading, something you will find reflected in the interview with this deck below.

If you find it difficult to grasp the concept that each deck has its own spirit, you only need to think for a minute about the very (in)famous Thoth Tarot deck. Few decks have a stronger and more magnetic (compelling/repelling) life force, creating visceral reactions in people who behold it, whether they know any back story or not.

A Beginner's Guide to Reading with Mixed Oracles

Decks used: Magical Mermaids and Dolphins & The Voyager Tarot

If you are just starting out learning to read the Tarot cards, you may feel that throwing other oracles into the mix might complicate things unnecessarily. I propose a different perspective for starting out reading with mixed oracles and that is to see it as an exercise in reading the Tarot cards intuitively - just as you would with many other oracles.

With this in mind, here are some some simple exercises to help you get creative with mixed oracles:
