Hello all, My friend has asked me to do a reading to tell her what color of car would be good for her. Is it possible to figure out what color the cards are trying to suggest? I really want to help her out, but don't know how to do a reading for this situation... I request you to please tell me if such a thing is possible with cards.... Any pointers in this direction will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, mm

1. Car colors http://www.azstarnet.com/dailystar/relatedarticles/2633.php 2. Suggestions in general of color associations http://www.zongoo.com/article5647.html Do a one to three card spread....perhaps choosing among three options...in each of the cards that come up, check the predominance of two to three colors, check out the association. Suppose you get the Ten of Swords, the Fool, Seven of Cups. Jot down the colors that look strike you first or seem to predominate... In the ten of swords, there's the black and the colors of daybreak. (Let's say black/white) In the Fool, the yellow and perhaps other decorative colors, like the white dog, may catch your eye. (Yellow/white) In the seven of cups, the gray background and the gold cups might catch your eye... (Light Gray/Gold) Maybe you don't like the black of the ten of swords, like the daybreak colors or the idea of contrast...write this down and check the links out. If it turns out you get red, brown or green, think also about the car...remind your friend that driving cars have to deal with heat, mud, bored highway patrol people looking for speeders, other motorists who are tired and need a good, visible car...based on that, I tend to go with white, silver or light metallic blue without checking the tarot. But I am hoping that the above suggestions with your Rider Waite listed in your profile might assist? Regards, Cerulean

Car color: What’s it say about you? Ancient Egyptians believed in chromatherapy, the ability to heal with colors: Red stimulates mental energy, yellow stimulates the nerves, blue heals organic disorders such as colds and hay fever, etc. Modern car manufacturers believe in a version of the same thing: the ability to sell with colors. Psychiatrists analyzed car-color choices for a survey reported on K-LOVE radio, and here’s what your car color says about you: Black: First choice of ambitious drivers who want to project an image of success. Red: You’re outgoing and impulsive with a youthful attitude, but easily bored. Silver: You have great style and are often successful, but you tend to be pompous. White: The first choice of doctors and drivers who are reliable and methodical. Gray: Expresses understated good taste and indicates a safe, cautious driver. Blue: A team player who’s sociable and friendly, yet lacks imagination. http://www.cdnpaint.org/Auto_Adviser.htm Now, what deck will you be using, and how many cards? :joke:

Might I recommend that if you're going to use the "safer color car" study, use the actual study if you can find it? The only problem with that newspaper article is that it doesn't tell much about the study itself. For example: where those in silver/white cars older and slower drivers? (Because, yes, older people do tend toward white/silver). Yes, the cars were more easily seen, and it makes sense that this might help prevent accidents--but did the study include white cars in snowy conditions as well?And how MANY cars did the study include? Which countries were studied? I'm not saying you should ignore this study--just read up on it and make sure it sounds legit before scaring your friend. As for Tarot Cards and color, YES, the Majors, at least, each have a color assigned to them by the Golden Dawn. They are: Fool: Yellow Magician: Yellow HPS: Indigo/Silver-White Empress: Emerald Green Emperor: Scarlet Hierophant: Red-Orange Lovers: Orange Chariot: Amber Strength: Yellow Hermit: Greenish-Yellow Wheel: Violet Justice: Green Hanged Man: Deep blue Death: Green blue Temperance: Blue Devil: Indigo Tower: Scarlet Star: Violet Moon: Red-Violet Sun: Orange/Gold Judgement: Pale red Universe: Violet/Indigo So if you wanted to do it this way, I'd shuffle the majors, fan them, and let your friend pick three. Then she can either pick her fave color of the three suggestions, or her fave card--and the color that comes with it--or, if she gets the same color three times...well, that suggests it's her color.

What was the point of assigning colors for the majors according to the GD?

Quote: Originally posted by feticeira What was the point of assigning colors for the majors according to the GD? Well, the GD assigned all kinds of things to the majors. Colors, musical notes--Crowley even lists things like each card's "perfume" and "drug." I'm not up enough on the GD to know the answer why, but I presume it has to do with frequencies and vibrations--and perhaps Zodiac as well, as each astrological sign has a color/colors.

Wasn’t there also something to do with the tree of life and the colours of the sephiroth?
