Beautiful Art Work.....Complex Symbolism.......Gay Tarot.....Angel Tarot.....Goddess Tarot. The choices of card design are as varied as the people who design them.
How I wish I could find a deck for "TAROT CHANNELING." I would have my cards designed like 3-D computer posters; each with a series of Monet hued dots you stare deeply in to and see a symbolic picture behind. The picture behind the dots would be an image that speaks of the EMOTION of each card. 37 Years of Professional Tarot Channeling has given this seasoned reader some firm conclusions.
2} "Staring in to the card" , like staring into 3-D computer posters, trains the eyes to see "behind" the surface. In the process.......the abstract intuitive mind is trained to visualize what is NOT SEEN....and find the world of grey shadows where the past, present and future can be seen as if watching a TV show.
THE SIZE AND FEEL OF THE "TAROT CHANNELING" CARD
I am a tactile person. I prefer cards that fit easily into my palms. The rhythm of the cards should make an almost musical percussion as they are shuffled. To do this the paper has to be just the right consistency, not too thick…not too thin. This also allows flow of shuffling the cards. When I shuffle before a reading question I read the rhythm of the shuffle. The bigger the card is, the more cards fly out, or get caught with each other and stunt the rhythm.. I won’t use them. I lose the "MUSIC" and "FLOW" of the shuffle....which is like stretching before a good work out.
THE SMELL OF GOOD INK
GOOD INK has a delightful "Incense" smell that seems to float out of the cards when they are being used. I believe this wonderful aroma aids in visualization when Tarot Channeling.
GOOD INK IMAGES LAST LONGER
My cards soon become faded. The oil in my hands combines with the ink and within 2 years the image is almost gone. "THOSE CARDS MUST BE ANCIENT! I CAN'T SEE A THING!" is the comment I often get. I believe this is because of my natural chemistry PH. GOOD INK LASTS LONGER FOR PROFESSIONAL USE OF CARDS. Cheap ink fades quickly no mater what PH you are.
So if there are Tarot Card designers out there, please design a small hand size, 3-D Poster dot card that form into an emotional image when stared deeply in to. Have them made from a paper with firm, but thin consistency that makes musical percussion sound when shuffled.,, Be sure they also have an exquisite incense smelling ink. I wait patiently.
