who always encouraged me to explore unique paths in life.

Their faith and support inspired me to reach for the moon, dance in the stars,

and set my sights on the heavens, where my mother now resides.

So youve bought a deck of tarot cards, memorized their basic meanings, and want to know what to do next. Or perhaps you have been using the tarot for years, but feel the need to expand your abilities, refresh your perspective, and take your interpretive skills to the next level.

Tarot Prediction & Divination is designed to bring more depth and power to your readings as it takes you through the three dimensions of the Tarot: divinatory, therapeutic, and spiritual.

With fifteen original layouts, forty-five sample readings, and a series of unique correspondence charts, this book will teach you how to draw more insight from the tarot, making your readings more effective and profound.

Most tarot decks come with small instruction booklets that provide a brief interpretation of each card. They feature the Celtic Cross and at best, two or three additional layouts. As a result, many tarot enthusiasts adopt only one reading method and stick with it. After a time, this can become repetitive, ineffective, and limiting.

This book presents fifteen new layout options to enhance your readings, taking you from beginner to advanced readings and offering spreads that are subject specific to the question at hand. Throughout this book, the term querent will refer to the person asking the question, whether it is you or someone you are reading for.

Tarot Prediction & Divinations purpose is to offer expanded meanings and insights that give more versatility to the art of tarot interpretation. Through the example readings included with each layout, you will learn how to extract the predictive, therapeutic, and spiritual messages hidden within the cards. As you combine all three dimensions of the tarot, youll be able to perform the most effective readings possible.

Unique in its approach, this guide uses visual literacy as a means to awaken your psychic abilities. This means that you can read not only the predictive messages, but also the healing and spiritual aspects contained in each cards image. You can read cards individually and/or as they relate to surrounding cards, finding a specific answer to your question.

As you prepare to explore Tarot Prediction & Divination , my wish is that your own path to enlightenmentas well as your ability to help otherswill be empowered by this illuminating book.

Introduction

The Role of Fortune Telling in Todays World

The term fortune telling often conjures up the image of a traveling carnival, or perhaps one of those seedy Palm Readings signs tucked away in an unsavory neighborhood. In truth, fortune telling takes many forms. Divination, psychic readings, and astrology are all practices that could fall under this general category, as they possess powerful transformative energies that can awaken and connect us to our spiritual centers.

In todays world, with so much going on around us, its easy to get stuck in lifes chaos. We operate on a physical plane, giving much credence to science, physics, and the tangible, which dulls our instincts. Unable to access or even trust our intuition, we can be overcome with fear at any given time. Fear is the great paralyzer, and, as portrayed in the Devil tarot card, can undermine our progress or make it impossible to connect with our spiritual selves and higher planes of being.

This is where the art of divination (fortune telling) becomes essential. If we can gain affirmation and a sense of what is to come next or realize where we need to make changes, we can release our fears and relax. Once we do, Spirit will always bring us the answers we seek. Tarots ritualistic aspects can loosen the grip of fear created by misunderstandings or spiritual short-sightedness, guiding us forward in the most effective way possible.

The tarots purpose is not simply to provide us with all the answers, however. Its images offer three distinct messages which, when applied together, can bring us to a new level of awareness, understanding, and spiritual peace. When the world is not working in the manner we expect or hope, it can affect us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. With an in-depth tarot reading, we can learn to rise above current circumstances to realize the higher purpose of our life experiences, and how they will move us one step closer to personal wholeness and our perfect destiny.
