Owl Tarot
Hello
I often ask questions from my deck about itself.. Well herself.. I have decided that its a female based on all the answers I get from her.. I ask her before every reading how she is feeling and also I always ask whether or not she is up for a certain reading and whether I can ask it and if the answer is no I put the deck away and ask later..
For example today gave me the 7 of coins - time out card when I asked if I could do my first and perhaps only reading for the day.. .I read it as it wants to be left alone for a bit
I don't normally do more than a few and make sure its on different subjects and people..
Does anyone else do this? What do you think of this? I sometimes feel silly doing it, but I want to ask questions from my deck only when its ready..
Just like to know hear your thoughts..
Many thanks xx
For me, whatever you do that makes you feel comfortable and well to perform a reading and also help you to connect better with your deck, do it! Sounds to me like an exercise as well as a habit, and what makes you feel good to read is essentially a healthy reading habit in my opinion. Nothing is foolish, no preparation of any sort is foolish in my opinion.
Tarot cannot talk with words, but I think it can speak in symbols, represantations and images which suggest things to us but in a pretty different way then language itself does. I find it to speak as a temple speaks to the follower of a Religion rather than a Priest of that Religion. It speaks -to me- without words.
