AVOIDING FIXATIONS WHEN READING TAROT CARDS: PART TWO
Nowadays, tarot authors tend to steer clear of the tougher subjects, such as death and illness, but the tarot was designed to encompass all the psychological, philosophical, and physicalities of life. We may try to help beginners wade into the kiddy pool, but when beginners are on their own, the possibility is there for a big dive into the deep end, which can result in confusion. In my opinion, these subjects should not be sugar-coated. Instead, we should strive to educate as much as possible so beginners can relax and enjoy the oracular experience offered. Let’s bear in mind that any divination tool is a key to unlocking your own intuition. The divination tool is not an entity with a mind of its own. Remember that we are working with energies: our own energy, the energy of the seeker, and the energy of the universe.
We all want to offer the lighter side of the tarot, the excitement, the fun, the wonder. “Will I find love? Will he or she be my perfect mate? Will I get a good job?” But life does have its setbacks, its hard times, its tragedy, and these subjects cannot ever really be avoided. This is part of our walk with Spirit. When we seek, really SEEK to find, we must embrace the ALL, not just the SOME. This is the burden of a psychic. We are not just given the good. Besides which, some tragic events can be avoided if the oracle is properly interpreted. But we want the beginner to fully understand. You must walk before you run. Don’t rush the cards, don’t rush the learning. Spirit opens up to you as you can handle it.
If you become panicked or you are a beginner, and you are concerned about any “grief” cards appearing too often in your throws, I suggest that you remove the offending cards for a brief time, perhaps even a few months, until the feelings of dread dissipate and you’ve gained some more knowledge of the cards and spreads. Doing this resets your pattern of thinking. Once you understand how to maintain the cards and meanings in context, and your confidence is well established, these cards will no longer cause panic, fear, or dread. You will understand their importance in the deck, and you will have learned to accept their message in context.
