Tarot Cards, Not Just For Reading... 

Using Tarot Cards for Magickal Intentions

Did you know that the Tarot can be used for much, much more than “Predictive” Reading?

Tarot can be used for self-exploration, past life analysis, psychological profiling, situational analysis, and for Magickal Intentions, (spellwork, ritual and prayer), among other things.

Every card in the deck of 78 has many complex meanings and energies and you can actually create your own, customized rituals (spells, prayers), using the Tarot in a very definitive way.

For instance, let’s say that you have had an argument with your Cancer Man and you are an Aquarius Woman and you want to restore peace between the two of you.

Select the cards from the deck that are your “natural” significators, in this case you would select the King of Cups for your man, and the Queen of Swords for yourself.  Now, the Queen of Swords is a hard-headed woman and the King of Cups is a loving and compassionate man, so it is not unusual for the two of you to butt heads on occasion.

To restore peace, get a pink candle and write both your names on it and dress it with extra virgin olive oil.  Place the 2 cards that you have chosen to represent you and place them on a table with the candle.  Pull the Lovers card out of the deck and place it so that it covers both your card and his and light the pink candle.  Put together your own words to bring peace back between you and restore the love you feel for each other.  You can also use the Ten of Cups, or if you feel you need to have a meeting of the minds to discuss further, use the Two of Cups, to promote face to face conversation.  It is very customizable.

When you put your words together, keep them rhythmic, rhyming during ritual is essential for building the energy, it doesn’t have to be complicated, just short and sweet and to the point.  Something like this will suffice:  “Let us have our peace restored, we can remember all our joy”.

Make it specific to your issue, the more “customized” the better.
