Tarot Talk: Psychic Ability and The Flow of Energy.

Image
A 'psychic' is considered to possess the ability to sense things that ordinary people may not be aware of.This is different from intuition in that it takes special abilities, and the 'information' or 'senses' that the psychic receives do not come in subtle hints but in obvious messages that they can easily understand. Such abilities include: Clairvoyance: This involves the ability to see, visually, beyond the ordinary, without using the typical five senses to gather information. Clairsentience: This involves being able to sense and feel certain things that others are unable to, with similarities to empathy. Clairaudience: This involves being able to hear sounds, such as voices or music, that are not audible to other people. Claircognisance: This involves knowing something to be true without being able to back up your statement with physical evidence, similar to intuition but on a deeper level. Psychics need to have an ability to centre their energy...

Tarot Talk: Intuition and Energy in a Tarot Reading

The use of tarot cards in divination has been a gradually developing concept. Initially, the cards were made for general entertainment and only gained deeper interpretative meanings over long periods of time. This gives rise to the question of whether the cards were already filled with hidden meanings and people were simply unaware of them or to whether people later realised they could make use of the cards to further express themselves and gave them their own meanings and symbolism. The latter interpretation involves a person's natural ability for intuition and how the cards could enhance or provide an outlet for this skill. There are 'spiritual' powers or extra natural 'abilities' that people can acquire or possess which are relevant to the working of a diviner. These include psychic abilities as well as intuitive capabilities. The psychic world is a radical one with several gifts. Some may have extraordinary gifts of hearing, some of smell or taste, as w...

Tarot Talk: The Power of Intuition

In the human functional process, we know and understand the role of the nervous system and the way our senses come into play in our everyday lives. We respond in several ways to external forces of stress and sudden changes in our immediate environment. Some of the stress responses are summed up in the 'fight or flight' reactions, which manifest in physical changes, such as sweating palms, a quickened heartbeat and dilated pupils. The same way our bodies consciously respond to external forces is the same way we respond subconsciously to life changing scenarios. It has long been believed that humans have some level of instinctive or intuitive ability. Logically, we know that the fire will burn because our cognitive spheres have at some point come into contact with the heat of a candle or fire. This makes sense, scientifically, and is an understood process. However, it is much more difficult to logically explain the 'gut' feeling that people sometimes experience r...

Tarot Talk: The Mystery of Tarot

Image
Much mystery surrounds the existence and use of Tarot cards. For most, tarot cards represent a mystical world that is fully symbolic and the symbolic scenes pictured on the cards are able to predict the future. Some would even go as far as believing that tarot cards have a bearing on the fate of our lives. The truth is that the cards are really more of a means of conveying a message, rather than serving as the message itself. Their meanings can vary from person to person and it is highly dependant on the tarot prophet or diviner to accurately 'read' the messages they 'see' in a spread. The 'power' already inherent in the reader is what transcends into mystical revelations from the cards. The intimacy that the diviner has with the cards can raise the quality of a reading to a spiritualistic realm. In other words, the tarot reader deduces and interprets to the client what it is the cards are representing and how they might affect or relate to the client's...

The word 'divination' derives from the Latin, divinus,  meaning ' to be inspired by the gods.' Many cultures throughout the world and over the ages have 'for...
