DAILY RESIDUE: A Cartomancy Journal
The Daily Approach with Tarot
Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 at 02:08 am
Jalyn commented on one of my Tarot daily draws a while back, asking about how I usually approach my daily readings so I thought I’d talk about it a little here.
I love doing daily draws whenever time allows me to do so, because it always helps me connect with the cards in new and different ways even after so many years. Like many others, I admit that it used to be a hit or miss thing back when I first started doing them. Sometimes they were immediately obvious while other times I couldn’t make heads or tails out of them. But it was a learning process and I eventually realized that I was approaching it all wrong.
The thing is, daily draws (more so than general readings) are quite personal in how it applies to you. Some people see them as a general theme going on in their lives at the time, some as specific events that play out during the day, while others see the cards as a larger message they need to pay attention to at that point in time. At the end of the day, though, it’s all about figuring out what works for you and then connecting with your cards that way. Or some like to call it “training your cards” to deliver what you ask. :)
Below are just some of the ways and habits I’ve picked up along the years as to what I like to do for my Tarot daily readings, as well as a bit of an explanation on the spreads I like to use.
Taking the Message at Face Value

There had always been countless discussions about the Tarot’s ability to speak about mundane matters. We know, of course, how deep and insightful the cards can be in their guidance and messages. But what about the day-to-day stuff? Or the truly gritty little detailed stuff? It’s an issue I see being brought up every so often- about how it’s not so great for delivering messages on the mundane. But does it really have to be that way?
Giving Health Readings

(Note: Re-posting from my old Tarot site. Actual article written a few years ago.)
Should we give health-related readings? Is it okay to advise sitters in matters of one’s health? These are questions that have been asked many times by countless people. It is also one of the aspects of reading cards that I’m more strict about in my personal set of “rules” (a word I use loosely as I believe in very few rules as a cartomancer).
