Well, buckle up, because I've got 10 tarot tips and tricks that will add a little extra magic to your life.
1. Tarot Aromatherapy Magic
Ever thought about mixing scents with your tarot cards?
Yeah, me neither—until now!
Pick an essential oil that vibes with each card.
Feeling The Empress? Dab a little lavender for that nurturing touch.
Channeling The Magician? Peppermint will keep you sharp and focused.
It’s like giving your tarot cards a fragrant sidekick!
2. Elemental Tarot Card Corners
Here's a cool trick: place a card representing each element in the four corners of your reading space.
Fire (Wands), Water (Cups), Air (Swords), and Earth (Pentacles).
Boom! Instant balanced energy field.
Not sure what goes where? Here’s a list of each element and their direction:
🔥Fire (Wands) – South
Fire is all about energy, passion, and action. It’s often associated with the South, the direction of the sun at its peak.
🌊 Water (Cups) – West
Water represents emotions, intuition, and the subconscious. It’s linked to the West, where the sun sets, symbolizing introspection and the end of a cycle.
🛦 Air (Swords) – East
Air is connected to intellect, communication, and ideas. It’s associated with the East, the direction of the rising sun, representing new beginnings and clarity.
🌏 Earth (Pentacles) – North
Earth stands for stability, resources, and the physical world. It’s connected to the North, often seen as the direction of grounding and solid foundation.
Using the directions will help you create a balanced and harmonious space for you to be in.
Plus, it feels super magical.
3. Elemental Weather Reading
Ever thought about using the weather to enhance your tarot readings?
No? Well, let's change that!
Each suit in the tarot deck can correspond to different weather conditions. Use the current weather to influence your reading for an added layer of interpretation.
🔥Wands (Fire): Sunny and warm days. The reading focuses on energy, action, and creativity.
🌊Cups (Water): Rainy or overcast days. Emphasize emotions, intuition, and relationships.
🛦 Swords (Air): Windy days. Focus on intellect, communication, and decision-making.
🌏 Pentacles (Earth): Clear and calm days. Highlight stability, finances, and physical well-being.
Drawing cards on a rainy day?
Let those Cups guide your introspection.
Feeling the heat of the sun?
Let Wands ignite your passion and drive.
This method will help you learn the suits and their effect on the archetypal personalities but also helps you stay in tune with nature's rhythms as you read your cards.
Give it a whirl and see how the weather influences your tarot insights! 🌦️🌟
