Okay, please don't throw anything at me if this is not an appropiate way to use tarot. I was wondering if the tarot can be used to find a missing item? My husband has lost two paintbrushes and we have been tearing the house apart trying to find them and i am seeming to be getting the blame. If i borrowed them it was almost two years ago and therefore i have no idea where i would have put them. Can the tarot help in locating them? If so.. is there a spread? *ducking now* Sandra

Hi reds97, I have never used Tarot to find an object. But I have used a pendulum. Draw a rough sketch of the house, hold the pendulum over each room and ask it if the brushes are in there. when you get a yes, bring the pendulum in the room and very slowly go around and see if you get a yes or no or if the it pulls in a dirction. This has worked for me in the past. Good hunting. Cj

PHB says: "Occasionally, Tarot readers are asked about lost or stolen objects, where they can find a lover or relationship, or perhaps which direction to move home or work. Horary Astrology comes to the rescue" See: http://www.supertarot.co.uk/astro/where.htm Macavity (I haven't tried this personally :))

I lost my engagement ring once- picture a lady nine months pregnant searching through the grass LOL. Anyway, I asked the cards after about 5 hours searching, not sure what answer I'd get. The card that I got actually gave me a visual cue- there was a curve through the middle of the card that exactly matched the curve of my back garden. The part of the curve highlighted by the figures in the card, was the exact place my ring was hidden. It was a very literal, intuitive answer, who knows if I'd ever be able to use this process again/ But it worked a gem (literally, LOL)

When I have lost things by my own design, or that of a coyote, I go to where I think it is and quite my self. I visulize the missing item and then suddenly I'm off.....directly to the item. My pup took off with my wallet. She took it off the coffee table went up the couch and out the window. The next morning I could not find it. I stood looking at the table then I figured it out. the hard part, wondering if some one out side found it and took it, or if the pup hid it. Lucky me, I went right to it.....lucky me, if some one had seen it.....POOF

Howdy Reds... As cjtarot mentioned - I use one of my pendulums when I need help finding something which has been misplaced. The method CJ described works very well for me as well. Of course the drawback to this is, if the item is not in the place you made the sketch of, you've got a bigger problem. I would say that, if the pendulum does not indicate a room for you to look in, do another sketch - one of your entire property. Do the yards, gardens, outbuildings, etc, as well as the house. Then start over. I suppose that if that still doesn't get you a result... you could try a map of your city... However, if it was getting to that point, I think I'd just go buy a couple of new paint brushes... ;) Good luck & let us know how it goes.

I call any lost item. Simply say, "paitbrushes, show up!" It works everytime for me, but I haven't tried it for anything lost as long as two years. I know good artists' brushes can be quite costly, but two years is a long time to be trying to lay blame. If your husband cared so much about the brushes two years ago, they surely wouldn't be lost now! Francesca

he didn't need them till now. and the other way to find them is to buy new ones... which we did on sunday. So those others should be showing up anytime now! S.

I would try what Francesca recommended, too. Maybe I would make the wording a bit more polite. If that does not work - use the pendulum. I think Tarot would be too complicated, telling as well where it could be, where it was supposed to be, where it will be asf asf......

Caution; may contain tongue-in-cheek humor... Quote: Originally posted by lupo138 I think Tarot would be too complicated, telling as well where it could be, where it was supposed to be, where it will be asf asf...... And what they were thinking when they got lost, as well as how they felt about being lost and how they felt about the person who lost them... }) :joke:

I realize the search is off at this point, but here's a crazy idea for finding things using a combo of tarot Majors and Fung shui principles. Each major represents a place between two points on the sepheroth. Some fung shui practitioners put a diagram of a stick-figure body in each room to see where energy is blocked and how it will affect the person living there. The Sepheroth (tree of life) also corresponds to places in the body. Decide which room the lost article is likely to be in, draw a sketch of the room with a stick figure in it, (I think the head goes in the doorway) and pick a major. decide where the major relates to the sepheroth and the body figure, and look there. I just made this up, I hope it is somewhat sensible. I am always full of ideas, not all of them are great ones! ;)

it could take less time to search once again very accurately ;)
