A friend of mine who I meet in a local spirituality club has a rather strange way of reading cards. Rather than taking from the top of the decks, he literally picks up cards from the bottom of the decks.
Quite recently I began to experiment with various techniques. One method I dabbled with is little flipping a randomly selected card and seeing if it lands upside down or upwards and thus far this method I developed helped me make some very important decisions.
Because I plan to make a thread related to this, I will stop here.
In fact as opposed to other spiritualist arts like Alchemy and Astrology, I notice there is quite little emphasis of reading methods outside the stereotypical Celtic Cross set ups.
So I am curious is there anything wrong with creating new metholodgies or altering existing ones to read tarot cards? Would say creating a new unique spread of your own artistry ruin or destroy the energies and messages the cards are trying to give you?
What about using cards in ways absolutely not related to tarots such as the card flipping I developed or even placing tarot cards like poker hands and interpreting via poker methods like straight flush in combination with tarot description cards (not lying I know one person who does this)?
Is there a reason why most readers stick with Celtic and very few even among experts try to rebel against tradition and create new styles? Why does tarot seem to lag behind?
Astrology, alchemy, and many divinitory stuff in their modern revivals have had modern experts use their creativity to create new styles. For example there are modern astrologers who are already rushing to add new asteroids to the chart interpretation and alchemists are using modern scientific formulas and discoveries to come up with new elixirs and formulas to the pre-existing traditions.
