A lot of tarot history books are pseudo-scholarly trash which promote fringe theories about tarot coming from Egypt etc. Here are 4 fascinating books on the real history of tarot history, symbolism and techniques.

Imagine that you are driving alone on a motorway. You are supposed to turn left at the intersection but an inner voice tells you to continue straight. You find this strange but do it anyway because the inner voice was very compelling. A few minutes later you turn on the local radio and hear of a large accident in the left lane that you would have gone down, at the exact minute that you would have entered it. Your intuition just saved your life.

This article is written to provide a sensible way to learn and assimilate card meanings into the long-term memory. The methods described are based largely on general principles inferred from the findings of modern memory science.

This article will be very broad overview of all aspects of tarot divination that are relevant to the beginner. It is thus a comprehensive introduction to the art of tarot divination. It will include an introduction to the tarot (it’s history and the tarot deck structure, which deck to get for beginners, etc.), a brief look at the idea of divination and useful instructions on performing your first ever divinatory tarot reading (covering preparation, interpretation and common beginner mistakes to avoid).

It was well known in the tarot community that most books are trash. Apart from the fact that everyone is writing a beginner tarot book now (it’s just another vanity business tactic taken by chancers), in the last couple of years these are not often not even written by the authors themselves. Rather, artifiical intelligence (AI) is used. And with this amount of complete trash circulating, people may lament that there are no tarot books worth buying. And whilst that’s not true, I forgive anyone who claims it, since you have to know where to look. This article has been written to show you that there are still legitimately helpful authors out there. There are master tarot diviners who write genuinely useful books.

This will be a relatively short article about how to discover the identity of some sort of deity using tarot divination.

So you want to read tarot for the public good but you have costs that you can’t afford to compromise on? Perhaps you believe that some kind of exchange is necessary in spiritual work but you still want to be affordable to all sincere seekers? In this article we will discuss some pricing strategies that you can use to help people through the monetary barrier of entry that looms over a large number of tarot reading querents.

Please note that the motivation for such pricing strategies has nothing to do with social justice activism or left wing ideological views more broadly. Our reasoning is based in spiritual, not political ideas.

There are three main ways to shuffle tarot cards but the third of them as listed is undesirable. They are; overhand shuffling, riffle shuffling (bridge shuffle), and...

In this article, we will look at A.E Waite’s original instructions for laying out the celtic cross tarot spread. That is, in contrast to the modern, psychologized versions that proliferate today.

In 1911, Arthur Edward Waite published The Pictoral Key To The Tarot (ill. Pamela Coleman Smith), a full sized book (not the little white book) to accompany his Rider Waite Smith tarot deck.

In ‘Section 7: Divination’, Waite claimed that the celtic cross spread was an old, unpublished, method of divination that had been used privately in the UK for “many years”.

The celtic cross tarot spread has since become a perennial classic amongst tarot readers except, perhaps, to the TikTok generation. In revealing it, Waite reasonably recommended this layout for almost any inquiry. Time has also shown it’s spread positions to be easily adapted, as we will soon see.
