I've been reading a lot of newer Tarot books lately.  One phrase that bothers me is the insistence that some court cards are said to be playing the victim.  We all know people who blame others for everything bad that happens to them.  I'm not taking about that. What bothers me is there is no acknowledgement that there are REAL victims.  There are people murdered, raped, abused as children, it the consequences of war and can have PTSD due to no fault of their own.  The survivors can have such low self-esteem that they believe that somehow they deserve the horrible thing ..read more

Hello! Could you please help me? I'm very worried. I went to see a woman who read tarot cards for me. She told me bad things about the future and how I have my mother's karma, which will cause all my relationships to fall apart for no reason. How far into the future do tarot cards typically show? Don't they usually predict up to a year at most? Is there any way to change my future ..read more

I recently came across the Word document for a "LWB" I'd started writing for Tarocchi dei Celti, a majors-only deck with artwork by Antonio Lupatelli published by Lo Scarabeo in 1991 that only came with an Italian LWB (didn't have the benefit of Google Translate back then, although having now done that for a few of the cards it may not have been any great loss). My LWB must have been started at least 20 years ago and been slumbering in the depths of my computer files ever since. It's not so little either - for each card I'd written a detailed description of the card, then started research into ..read more

Hi ?   iv just began my journey into learning about tarot and all that surrounds it.  I have a question that I can’t find an answer to, maybe I’m asking the wrong question.

How do you feel about them..  how can I find out the personality of all the cards    thank you  ..read more

This topic emerged from a recent reading in DotW. In my observation ... the cards are usually right ... but we readers can get it wrong due to 3 "occupational hazards" which I call: Bleedthrough Different / wrong Question Irrelevant Question I'll share my thoughts how I deal [or fail] with these. Curious to hear YOUR experiences and tips how you deal with it.   Bleedthrough: I was just about to lay cards when my partner started talking to me. It interrupted my flow. I spoke with him awhile .... and then got back to it [so I thought]. Yet I was bothered by the feeling that I couldn't qui ..read more
