CricketSong's Tarot Game

1/30/2018

This game is a fun way to memorize your Key Words and to create a comprehensive narrative (similar to The Fool’s Journey). I have played this game numerous times with my Tarot students and have always been asked to play it again. Everyone enjoys it!

The Tarot Game is best played with three or more people, but can be played with only two (playing by yourself will have limited benefits). I suggest using a standard Rider-Waite Tarot deck or a Rider-Waite inspired deck, but honestly any deck can be used as long as the players are familiar with the images.

Object: Get rid of all cards held while weaving a comprehensive narrative.

Elemental Correspondences of Swords and Wands

If you are a Tarot reader then there is an assumption that you have at least at one time used or are acquainted with the Rider-Waite deck and are familiar with the elemental associations made with each of the suits since many of the images on the cards reflect these obvious associations; Cups with water, Pentacles or Coins with earth, Swords with air, and Wands with fire. Each card of the suits has some symbolism that clearly illustrates these associations. The Cups have images of rivers, streams, waves, and a predominance of the color blue. Pentacles have images of gardens, cities, hills, and mountains. The suits of Swords are filled with images of clouds, butterflies, and light blue colors. Wands have flames, salamanders, and orange hues. While these

Tarot and Timing

I have found that there are two distinct groups of Tarot readers when it comes to the idea of Tarot and timing. Some readers adamantly believe that the cards cannot predict future events and those who believe that the cards are able to aid with predictions. Personally I tend to find that I align more closely with the second group, but even if you are a reader like me, who believes that the cards are able to predict future events, I am certain you will also agree with the idea that there are limitless possibilities for each of us when it comes to our futures. The mere concept of linear time is a human construct and does not actually exist beyond our physical plane of existence so any attempt to predict an event for anyone is just that – an attempt to do so. When using the Tarot as a divination tool the reader uses his or her psychic abilities to align with the vibrational frequency of the cards and see the images of

Should I Charge For Reading Tarot?

Not long ago I received an email from someone who was highly upset with the fact that I read Tarot for profit and “personal gain”. This individual accused me of “commercializing what she held as sacred” and that I was “selling the religion of Wicca and spiritual practices as a business.” After recovering from the initial hurt I felt, I contemplated what my own views of my Tarot business were. This is what I’ve discovered ...

I view Tarot as a sacred tool for divination. I use the cards to tap into The Divine Source in order to attain knowledge and retrieve messages meant for myself as well as others. I relay the messages I receive to the person I am reading for (my client). Are those whom I read for able to receive their own messages

Swords = Fire

Most of the information I have come across in regards to the Tarot associates Wands with fire and Swords with Air. I feel differently. For me Wands represent Air while it is the Swords that I associate with Fire. See, I have established a close relationship with a few of my Tarot decks, my Rider-Waite one being the deck I’ve used the most. Numerous clients have come back to see me because my Readings are accurate. How could my elemental correspondences be wrong? Is it possible someone else was mistaken?

As I gaze at each Sword, The Ace through King and then at each Wand, I focus on the energy I feel. Empathically I know that for me I am correct. Wands are air energy and Swords are fire. I don’t assume that everyone else is just wrong …
