You should say this prayer before you do a reading. Does not have to be done out loud, but always ask for clarity and always give thanks. The Goddess and the Spirit of the Tarot like that!!!

please continue!!! it is very interesting how you are also writing down the biological symbols of each suit. this is a first!

would you mind explaining a little how you would interpret signs of health within a tarot reading? like a broken leg, or, i dunno, a root canal???

thank you!

Aphrodite (that sexy name!)...the way I determine a disease state is as follows: say the spread has alot of cups...cups being involved with diabetes, illness of the sweets, OR the GRAND emotions of LOVE....i look at the spread carefully and check to see what other cards are present. Say the ACE of cups or the 10 of cups is present, then I generally know that it involves love with the potential of marriage....BUT not always.....I have to let the Spirit of the Tarot guide me. Don't automatically jump the gun and see disease when it is not there or by the same token, see love when it is not there. The messages will be given to you loud and clear!! Trust me!! The Spirit of the Tarot likes to be heard!!

Even when I do readings via email, I still listen for the Spirit to speak. I did one for a loved friend not too long ago, and in the middle of a love message, I got the message "tell her to get a check-up ASAP". So see, when you become "in-tune" the messages will come.

NINE Wisdom Card Exercise

Do the cleansing and prayer as taught in the first lesson.
Break the deck of cards and gently tap them together 3 times to break the energy from a previous reading.
Think of a question and begin shuffling the cards. Continue to hold the question in your mind as you shuffle. Make your question the same everyday!!!!
For example, "What will I learn today?"
Cut with the left hand, to the left, three times...makes 4 piles. Pick up the piles right to left to make one stack.
Continue to focus on your question. Count 8 cards from deck and turn up the 9th card.
That is your answer.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*++*+++*+*++++**+**+*++*
Write down your question in a notebook and everyday record your 9 card answer. Make sure you also write the date down. Everyday check what the card means, from your reference book....AFTER you have meditated on what the Spirit of the Tarot is trying to tell you. Write down the messages you have received before you check the references.
Let's do this for 7 days and then discuss what we all felt and "saw", okay?

I just went out and bought a deck, so I've only started the exercise today. I promise to post my answer by the 24th.

The answer I received today - couldn't match it to the question I asked, but was very pertinent to another situation in my life. Hmm. The Tarot works in mysterious ways, ay? Anyway, more details after my homework's done.
