Well, now, you wanna ask the tarot, huh? I hear folks talkin’ ’bout it all the time. Tarot cards, they say, can tell ya all sorts of things. I reckon it’s like lookin’ into a murky pond, tryin’ to see what’s at the bottom. Sometimes it’s clear as a bell, sometimes it’s just mud and weeds. But if you wanna know how to ask the tarot, I reckon I can tell ya a thing or two, just what I heard, ya know.
First, them cards, they ain’t just pretty pictures, you see. Each one, they got a meanin’. Like them old storybooks, each picture tells a tale. You gotta learn them tales, if you wanna know how to ask the tarot. Just like learnin’ to read the weather from the clouds. Each cloud, they got a different look. So it is important to know the basics of tarot when you want to ask the tarot.
Now, some folks, they say you gotta shuffle them cards a certain way. Like churnin’ butter, gotta be just right. Others, they just kinda slap ’em around a bit. I reckon it don’t matter too much, long as you’re thinkin’ real hard ’bout what you wanna ask. You can try one-card or three-card, depends on your question.
- You gotta have a question, you see. Can’t just stare at them cards and expect ’em to talk. Gotta ask ’em somethin’.
- And don’t be askin’ no “yes” or “no” questions. Them cards, they like to ramble on, just like old folks do. Ask ’em somethin’ that lets ’em tell a story.
- Like, instead of askin’ “Will I get that job?”, maybe ask “What do I need to do to get that job?”. See the difference? It’s like askin’ for directions instead of just wonderin’ if you’ll get there.
And when you spread them cards out, that’s called a “spread”, they say. Like spreadin’ out a quilt to see the pattern. Different spreads for different questions, just like different recipes for different cakes. You will know how to ask the tarot by learning different spreads.
Some folks, they like to light candles, burn incense, make it all fancy. Like a church service, almost. I reckon that’s fine if it makes you feel good, helps you concentrate. But you don’t need it if you don’t have it.
And listen here, don’t be scared of them cards. They ain’t gonna jump out and bite ya. They’re just tools, like a hammer or a saw. You use ’em to build somethin’, in this case, you’re buildin’ an answer to your question.
Now, them pictures on the cards, they can be a bit confusin’. Lots of symbols and such. Like them old quilts with all them fancy stitches. You gotta study ’em, learn what they mean, it is how you ask the tarot. You can find books on it, or ask somebody. I have seen many people do practice reading for their friends.
But the best way to learn, I reckon, is just to do it. Practice, practice, practice. Just like learnin’ to ride a bike, you’re gonna fall down a few times, but you’ll get the hang of it eventually. You will eventually know how to ask the tarot by practicing.
And don’t be expectin’ them cards to tell you everything. They ain’t gonna tell you the winnin’ lottery numbers, or who’s gonna win the big game. They’re just gonna give you some guidance, some things to think about. Like a wise old friend givin’ you advice. Some folks do a yes or no question, but I don’t think it is good.
When you ask the tarot, you are not just asking the cards, you are kind of asking your inner heart, too. Sometimes, the answer you get, it’s somethin’ you already knew, deep down inside. Them cards, they just help you bring it out into the open.
Also, after you done a readin’, especially if it’s a heavy one, you might wanna clear them cards. Some people use smoke. They say you need to do that to clear the bad energy and you can ask the tarot again. I don’t know, maybe just put them away for a while. Let them rest.
So, there ya have it. That’s how you ask the tarot, I reckon. It ain’t rocket science, as they say. Just be respectful, be open-minded, and be willin’ to listen to what them cards have to say. And remember, they ain’t gonna solve all your problems, but they might just give you a little nudge in the right direction. Just like a good friend would. Remember to be open-minded when you ask the tarot.
Just remember this. When you ask the tarot, don’t be expectin’ miracles. Just be open to the possibilities. And who knows, maybe them cards will tell ya somethin’ you need to hear. And don’t believe it too much. Tarot reading is just a guide, not your whole life. You will still need to work hard to make your life better.
