How are cards able to provide information about a persons live?
Some card-readers believe in God, a guardian angel or a spiritual leader, a higher power that shuffles the right constellation of cards and inspires their reading.
Others think that our subconscious has a connection to time and space different from the one our conscious has, that our subconscious is not restricted to the "here and now". Déjà vu, prophetic dreams, intuition and the "gut feeling" that made many a passenger sell their ticket for the "Titanic" - although they had spent a lot of money on it - can be explained with this theory, as well as the good results in Tarot and other card-readings.
(An diesem Absatz bin ich gescheitert. Bitte übersetz Du das.) Others rely upon the principle of synchronicity, according to which each moment in time has its particular quality that manifests on all levels of reality in the same way. Synchronicity means that events that co-occur do not necessarily have to be connected in a chain of cause and effect. Yet there can be a connection. There is a parallel between what is depicted in a card-reading and the events that occur in the client's life.
"As
above, so below,
That which is Below corresponds to that which is Above,
and
that which is Above, corresponds to that which is Below,
to accomplish the miracles of the One Thing."
(Hermes Trismegistos)
The psychologist C.G. Jung, a student of Freud, took the view that everyone possesses both a personal subconscious that holds our individual suppressed fears, memories and hopes, and an innate collective unconscious. Jung calls the content of this collective unconscious "archetypes", "original models of the mind, universal images as old as mankind itself". They mirror universal human experiences that occur in everybody's lives and are not subject to culture or nation - the Mother, the Wise Man, being young, being old, loneliness, happiness. love, birth, death. The highly symbolic images of the cards serve as a roadmap to the unconscious.
Where does the tradition of card-reading come from?
The roots of card-reading are in the dark. Some sources say that card-reading was first used in China during the 7th century. In the Middle Ages in europe, cards were used to get more information about the past, the present and the future. Since the 14th century, a card-game called "Tarot" became popular, but the roots of Tarot may go back to the book of Thot in Egypt, which is thousands of years old. In fact, we don't know it exactly. Travelers (in former times often called "Gypsies") are known to be very talented in cartomancy. But be careful if a life-coach states that his knowledge stems from this source. The Travelers usually never share their knowledge with "outsiders".
In general you can ask every kind of question which cannot be answered by a simple "yes" or "no". Some card-readers say that also this kind of question is possible. But I prefer to use a different approach to answering such a question. Furthermore... the future is not cast in stone. Therefore, there is always a 50 per cent chance that the answer is right. Usually the cards are used to show ways you can go to solve a problem, to help you with your decisions or to show tendencies regarding a current situation. But... Only ask a question if you are prepared to hear every possible answer. Even if you don't like the answer in the end. I always tell you what I can see in the cards, not what you want to hear.
In contrast to the well known Hollywood movies, you cannot normally see the death of a person in a card-spread. The card "Death" in Tarot doesn't usually mean that someone has to die. It only means that there is a kind of metaphorical death regarding a current situation. The end of something always means also a new beginning (e.g. a new job, a new love relation etc.). The card is not necessarily negative. Of course... maybe it can really mean death with other cards around. But in general the meaning is only symbolic.
Which questions shouldn't you ask?
Well... I am not a doctor, I am not a lawyer either. Therefore I am neither allowed nor do I feel I would be able to give you a medical diagnosis or to give you legal advice. Nevertheless, I can take a look into the future about how such things may end, or I can offer you gems or give you knowledge about herbs and teas you can also find in books. I can offer to prepare such tea-mixtures or oils, too, of course.
What
timeline can be seen in the cards?
Do the prophecys always come true?
The prognosis of a card spread usually has a timeline of 3-6 months, sometimes also 12 months. Themore the prognosis goes into the future the more it may be that it is not very correct because a lot of factors rule the future. Even the fact that you ask the cards can change the future because you get informations you didn't have before and act different having this knowledge. Everything you do can change the future. Reading the cards is not really looking in a future that is casted in stone. It is more an analysis of the situation and shows what may happen, starting from the current situation. Your free will makes the decissions, not the card-reader.
Which
card-decks are used? Does it make sense to work with other decks?
Usually I use the following two decks.
1) Rider-Waite-Tarot
The Tarot-deck consists of 78 cards. 22 trump cards (the major arcana) and 56 other cards, (the minor arcana) sorted into the categories "wands", "swords", "cups" and "pentacles" (also pents or coins). The Rider-Waite-Tarot was published in 1910 and is one of the most popular ones. The images were drawn by artist Pamela Colman-Smith, to the instructions of Christian mystic and occultist Arthur Edward Waite, and originally published by the Rider Company in 1910. It has lots of details and symbolics and therefore is especially used for explicit readings regarding to all definite problems. Below you can see some examples of these cards.
2) Mystical Lenormand-Cards
These cards got their name from the card reader Marie Anne Adélaide Lenormand who made card-spreads for the french emperor Napoleon and his wife Josephine. In difference to the informations you may find on some websites, this card-deck was not made by her in real. As much as we know she used normal playing cards for her readings. But these cards were well known in these days and so someone found that the name of the well-known Mrs. Lenormand would help making them even more popular. The cards are related to the normal playing cards Madame Lenormand used though but show pictures of daily life like ships, rings, flowers, mountains, dogs, mice etc. That makes it possible for a card reader to read them without too much learning of meanings and enables him to intuitively get the meanings and messages in the spread.
Das von mir verwendete mystische Lenormand greift die Motive der klassischen Lenormandkarten auf, jedoch in vollkommen neuer Gestaltung und umgesetzt durch die alte Eitempera-Technik, die auch von den mittelalterlichen Ikonen-Malern verwendet wurde.
Welche Leistungen können Sie in Anspruch nehmen?
I offer an individual life-coaching with card-spreads by phone or chat. Ich biete Ihnen eine individuelle kartengestützte Lebensberatung telefonisch und per Chat an. Auf Wunsch erstelle ich auch eine schriftliche Ausarbeitung. Der Vorteil einer schriftlichen Analyse besteht darin, dass man häufig mit einem kurzen zeitlichen Abstand einem Kartenbild noch wesentlich mehr Informationen entnehmen kann als dies bei einem Telefongespräch der Fall ist, bei dem der Kunde sich zwangsläufig unter einem gewissen Zeitdruck befindet. Von der französischen Kartenlegerin Mlle Lenormand wird behauptet, sie habe manchmal bis zu drei Tage lang über einem einzigen Kartenbild gesessen.
