Introduction

They are going to start a study that they will never finish. The study of Tarot is done over
all life because every time they look at it with the eyes of the 'intuitive mind' (not
fantasist) will discover something new and surprising that has always been there but that
they had not recognized.

The study of Tarot is a study "for love." Either one loves and respects the Tarot or it is just
to know 'some things' and 'show' to friends don't waste time.

The Tarot is not a 'deterministic' divination.

The Future does not exist!

We create a Gift every day, which comes from a Past and the Future is what
if we do.

The Tarot serves to assist us on our Path.

Remember that he is 'a good servant' but 'a bad master'. Serve yourself from him but
do not let them control you.

What is Tarot and its history

There are many theories about what Tarot is, where it came from, and what it means.
your name, but few have been proven until today.

Since the Tarot embodies the Ancient Wisdom passed down to humans by Hermes.
Trismegistus (or the Egyptian Thoth) was subsequently taken by Moses to Palestine and there
associated with the Kabbalah and the Jewish alphabet, until they would be the knowledge of the
Atlases recorded on 78 golden plates and kept in the ancient Library of
Alexandria survived the fire that devastated it.

There is also speculation about the reason for the name given to the cards. Some say that
Tarot means 'Royal Path' in the ancient Egyptian language (Tar - Path and Ro -
Real), others say it derives from Tora or Torah, the name given by the Jews to
Pentateuch (the first five books of the Bible). Which can mean Wheel (from the term
latinorota) or that may derive deorat (they will announce in Latin).

What is known is that the name appears for the first time recorded at the end of the 16th century.
in France, deriving from the name of the card manufacturers 'les tarotiers', and that their
cards began to be used in Europe in the mid-14th century in their aspect
playful and oracular. It is believed that they may have been brought by the Crusaders, in their
return from Jerusalem, or by the gypsies, from distant lands of India or Egypt.

In the late eighteenth century, it began to be studied and used in its most
profound and esoteric by various initiatory schools in Europe, and it is given a status
deeper than what was attributed to him until then.

The Tarot as a profession

Anyone who comes for a Tarot consultation usually has a problem they want to solve, even if they don't
always have this notion.
The consultation will allow us to know what problem or problems concern our client. According to the
we will try to fulfill the role for which we are paid:

clarify and assist the consultant.

For this purpose, we must start with ourselves; no one gives what they do not have, and for that reason, before the...
we should proceed with the consultations in the following way (or another that has the same effect for us):

we should never attend to anyone in a state of mind altered by alcohol, drugs, anger or by
another thing that prevents us from real concentration

to calm the mind by forgetting our own problems

with a small meditation

listening to relaxing music
with the scent of an incense
a small prayer said aloud but in a serene and calm mannerI ask my guides
give me the ability to help the people who seek me

prepare the consultation space

The most important:

clean and airy sea

to make for us a pleasant place
to have a table or desk with space for the card draws

Help:

oluz solar
fresh flowers
a source of running water or a glass of water(which must be poured out between each consultation)
a very soft incense or sprinkle a floral
“clean” crystals from an energetic point of viewpass them under running water and occasionally bury them
the number (a glass with soil to unload)
lit candle
music imitating the sounds of nature or very soft and relaxing

How to proceed in a Tarot reading

We should start by knowing the name of the consultant and the astrological data (sign and ascendant)
less - if we have knowledge in the area).
Put the client at ease but always in a professional manner. The client is a customer and not
a friend (even when they are) that's why we should keep some distance.
Analyze the behavior of the consultee, facial expressions, posture, tone of voice, to know what the
state of mind and thus communicate with him more easily.
To know what brought you to the consultation, without forcing you to tell us your whole life.
Let's start the tarot reading.

we asked the consultant to focus on what they want to know(without mentally forcing the result)
we focus on the questionlife in general or something specific - if we want it is at this point that it should-
to assign to the consultant and the other involved parties the corresponding court figure) while
we shuffled the tarot
opedimos então ao consulente que corte o baralho, de preferência com a mão esquerda e
we draw the cards
The methods used by me are the following:

. first the mandala to see life as a whole

. the Celtic cross for themes (love, profession, etc.)
. the cross (or Peladan method) and/or the 3 cards for very specific questions

o I start the interpretation by making a 'general overview'.

. I see that cards are predominant, knowing what the biggest concerns are.
. what is the querent's state in relation to the draw (e.g., house 1 of the mandala)
. I always read from an optimistic point of view.

o I will focus later on the areas that concern the client the most (according to the
conversation that is established and/or with the result of the draws

o a consulting must be

. so long that it exhausts us (maximum 90 m)

. not so short that it trivializes

o it must always end with a positive outlook, even if it is the

medium/long term

QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER

♦we are not seers or fortune tellers, we are tarot readers and we interpret symbols, so let's relax and
let's do our best reading without imagining what is not there
I do not want to say that we should not listen to our intuition, but we must be careful with what it is.
intuition and what is imagination or worse yet "manipulation" (ours or external)
The meaning of the tarot arcana must be for us, as it is the tarot reader's responsibility to interpret it.
We must be aware that there is no absolute determinism in life and tarot is no different.
We should never be fatalistic even when the reading is so bleak that we see no escape.
The final "word" always comes from the Superior Being of the Universe - GOD

Time in Tarot

On this matter, there are various opinions, so I will give you mine. A tarot reading can take 1
it's going to take 1 year or more to materialize. The usual is to give us a vision for 3 to 6 months and then
depends on the unfolding of life and the free will of the consultee.

If you really want times, you can use the following scheme, which works well for me. With the
Arcanos Menores, consoante o número (ás – 1, 2 – 2, etc -as figuras de corte não contam) assim será:

Golds - years
Cups - months
Swords - weeks
Pause - days

Professional ethics

Honesty

3. Knowledge
4. Understanding

6. Secrecy
