Tarot

Tarot. When you afraid of the future and have some extra cash you go to Tarot reader and solve both problems at one approach. Wise design.

Tarot is not a divination system. Well, it can be used for divination just like anything else, but it’s much like using the car as an ashtray instead of driving it. Your reader can give you a very good advice about your life but why not to rule your own life instead of getting advices? Tarot is a good tool to do this.

So what is tarot? It’s a graphical representation of our mind. Yes it’s much more, but I’m talking about people. Anyway, whatever we see, think, understand…  we do it from the human viewpoint, so there’s no need to step outside the human mind.

Tarot deck is made of two sets of cards: Major Arcana and Minor Arcana and they’re essentially different from each other.

Minor Arcana represent four elements by level of their manifestation or appearance.

Major Arcana are not that easy to explain. Anything we know, just any concept or apprehension whenever we look at it, it’s just a subject of comparison. What I mean if you try to describe or understand something, you use other objects, concepts and the rest of the things you can use to built associative links. There’s one rule in this process – generalization. Understanding is built upon abstraction, our mind never uses examples in understanding unless it’s needed to build some more global scheme. So any single concept or idea in our heads is a product of something more global or abstractive. In turn this global and abstractive idea is a product of something else. Now if you go ahead through all the levels of abstraction you get 22 topmost super abstract concepts – Major Arcana.

This way anything in this world can be described as appearance of this Major Arcana or another. But we live in physical world and clear conceptions are not enough here. And this is where Minor Arcana should be used to describe the physical appearance of whatever you want.

Now about how it works. Process of the world creation has never ended. It happens right now and right here. This world, it doesn’t exist but instead it happens. If you want something to happen you need description. Once you get it you can apply it on the process of the word creation. Just one more thing to add here: this world is a world of actions, it means there’re no objects in this world but the rendering of different actions into something we perceive as objects. So if you apply your description to something, try to reach the point where it happens but not where you render it.

Techniques? There’re lot of. From meditation to spells, from drawing sigils to using tarot cards as amulets. Just find the one most effective for you.
