Magick with Tarot cards...

DoctorLecter84

And @ DoctorLecter84 - all this writing and drawing goes through a lot of rough trials (and sometimes a bit of quiet swearing) as lots of ripped-up paper is tossed into the bin.

After my attempt a couple days ago, I was doing a lot of cussing as I just decided to stick to my original format which was simple daily and nightly prayer until I can figure things out.

Yes. And I'd say keyword - or phrase.
'Sigil' is not quite the word - as a proper sigil is supposed to be contracted and dummed down so it's unrecognisable. I use written sigils (usually turned into patterns or drawings) - but somehow reciting gibberish (a verbal sigil of some sort :) ) - would just not be my thing.
I don't know if there is a word...

The key to it I think is to do the opposite of written sigils, and instead take all the consonants away, leaving you with the vowel sounds, giving a more melodic tune like word like 'oooeauo'. Although you can end up sounding like a cartoon ghost :joke:

*goes off to hunt down what the word is...*

*Aaargh - I just can't resist!*... :royal:
Magician, Princess of Cups, Lovers, The Devil... (the cards you chose).

"Power and passion, unite us as one,
- Closer and closer with each rising sun.
My mirror, my secret, my deepest desire...
- Be welcome my lady, be with me - my fire!"

Phew! ;) As you might see - the chant assumes she's already there, just needing a chance to find you.

I suppose that could work if one writes a long sentence and then the vowels could become a kind of hummed tune... Hmmmm...(you have teased the Chant Mistress in me)

*awaits arrival of the word - if it exists*

Hi...
I'm very new to the mysterious world of Magick and want to take my first crack at Magick with my Tarot cards, I've got my cards lined up but I was wondering if the use of candles necessary? Or is it true what some people say, that all that is needed is the intent. I ask because, I don't like using candles and I've planned to substitute the candles with music. I also wonder if could Tarot Magick be as powerful and effective with the simple recitation of prayers and/or requests to the Spirits? Just as long as the intent is there?

Thank you all for taking time to read my post.

I love candle spells, and in some of them, I use tarot cards to help me better visualize the intention :) Use your intuition and have fun. Choose the cards that speak to you.

I already had the cards chosen. Now, I'm working on the wording and I should be on my way.

Remembered it (phew) glossolalic sigils.

Or speaking in tongues...

But in this case it only sounds like you are speaking in tongues to other people, the person speaking/chanting knows exactly what it means and is in control. :livelong:

Glossolalic Sigils seems like some interesting stuff. I need to do more research on the subject.
