Video Tarot Teachings Worksheet Vol.1 February 22 2013
Congrats! Youre on a path to self-discovery with Tarot. This is an ongoing learning process. There are endless ways to grow with Tarot and each month I look forward to expanding my own knowledge of Tarot & Oracle Cards together with you. This is Volume 1 so we are going to start right at the beginning. Selecting Your Cards When selecting a Deck here are some tips to remember. 1. Follow your intuition. Buy a deck that is calling your name. One that feels good in your hands, even through the box. 2. When you know you have the right type of Tarot Deck and there are multiple on the shelf. Ask above to guide you to the perfect deck for you. Put your hand hovering above each of the options and feel the strongest pull. 3. Look at the picturescan you make sense of what they show? Make sure you can relate to the art work. 4. Is the Tarot or Oracle Cards your style? We all have a sense of style and there are so many Tarot and Oracle Decks out there these days let your 2 Mila Herenda Mizo Tarot Mizo Balancing Gemstones 11389 Royal Crescent North, Surrey BC V3V 6V5 604.951.MIZO (6496) www.mizotarot.ca Mizo Balancing Gemstones 2013 milamizo@gmail.com
style show through in the deck that you choose. Your clients will say That deck is so you! 5. Your cards should be an extension of you, if they dont feel right put them back/away. If you havent purchased the Deck yet and you get a nervous feeling, this means that particular Deck is not for you. Put them back on the shelf. (If you own the Deck already, this doesnt mean get rid of the deck, maybe just give them a break or only pull them out when there is a certain type of reading to do.) 6. If you want to learn Tarot make sure you have a Tarot Deck with 78 Cards. Oracle Cards vary from but mostly 44 cards to more but the meanings dont usually correspond with the Tarot Deck. I use both and find that it just brings more insight to the readings with multiple decks. But we will talk about that in future Tarot Teachings. Connecting with Your Deck Do: 1. Carry Your Deck EVERYWHERE. They like to get out and about. Plus you never know where/when someone will want a reading. 2. Treat your Tarot Deck with respect. Remember your Deck has a personality, just like you. They like to loved and taken care of. 3. Have a special location for them in your home. You should have an area that is your Tarot spot where you get into the groove. 4. Use Tarot only when your mind is clear. 5. Pick a Card of the Day, hold the essence of the card as you go about your day. Think of how the Card relates to any given situation as the day progresses. Look at your card of the Day a few times throughout the day. 6. Have a special Tarot bag or case that your cards live in. Pick your favorite color and fabric and make a bag or get one at your local Metaphysical store. This is mine that I made with fabric I had. 3 Mila Herenda Mizo Tarot Mizo Balancing Gemstones 11389 Royal Crescent North, Surrey BC V3V 6V5 604.951.MIZO (6496) www.mizotarot.ca Mizo Balancing Gemstones 2013 milamizo@gmail.com
7. Do a meditation with your cards. This can be the whole Deck or one at a time to gain deep insight into one card. Also, these meditations really connect you deeply with the deck as a whole. 8. Now this is something I am going to try Sleep with your deck under your pillow for a month. Please put them in your cloth case and ask them to connect with your subconscious. I am really curious about this one and will let you know about it. 9. Ask for support, protection and guidance from your Guides and Angels before you do a reading and ask for the greatest good for all. Know that Spirit is with you in any and all readings. 10. Notice what stands out or pops out on a particular card for you. Mention it in the reading your doing. What is that image symbolic of? 11. Start a Tarot Journal. Write down insights and learnings on each and every card as you come to understand that particular suit, card or meanings. 12. Relate the cards to your own daily and life experiences. You will remember all the cards far easier if you connect it to a time in your personal life. 13. Use your Intuition. What are your gut instincts nagging you to say? What do you feel like blurting out? Blurt it out! Trust that feeling to say rainbow or fish that may mean something to the other person. (It doesnt always make complete sense to the reader) 14. Read about Tarot. Study books, the book that came with your deck or follow a Blog. Tarot is a never ending topic. And nobody reads the cards the 4 Mila Herenda Mizo Tarot Mizo Balancing Gemstones 11389 Royal Crescent North, Surrey BC V3V 6V5 604.951.MIZO (6496) www.mizotarot.ca Mizo Balancing Gemstones 2013 milamizo@gmail.com
same and nor should they. That is where you need to develop your very own style. How you do things. 15. Experiment with the Tarot. Just try random stuff out. I have some suggestions a bit further down. 16. Write yourself a cheat sheet. I have been doing Tarot for so long but I never remember what signs are with the Court Cards. I look every time unless I get the feeling to blurt out Libra. Then I say Libra.
Dont: 1. Dont use your cards under the influence of alcohol or drugs. (This not the time for spiritual insights) 2. Dont use the cards when you are extremely upset. It is best to wait and feel at least calm to investigate a situation. 3. Dont think that the cards are 100% accurate all the time. They just arent. They provide insight but know that ultimately your life is up to you and its your choices that make your life great or less than appealing. 4. Dont do Readings for people that dont want one. This infringes on their energy field and it is simply inappropriate. 5. Dont keep asking the same question over and over again. You wont get a different answer without time in between to let life unfold. 6. Dont do Readings for absolutely anyone. Use your gut. If someone comes up to you and asks for a reading and you are not in the mood, you just dont feel like it or you do not like the energy of that person. Just say no, perhaps another time. If your instincts are whispering in your ear saying dont do it. Please dont. It really is OK to say no. 5 Mila Herenda Mizo Tarot Mizo Balancing Gemstones 11389 Royal Crescent North, Surrey BC V3V 6V5 604.951.MIZO (6496) www.mizotarot.ca Mizo Balancing Gemstones 2013 milamizo@gmail.com
7. Dont do readings for people that are drunk. They will not get it or remember what you are saying anyways and it is a waste of time for all involved. 8. Dont do full readings for yourself or a client too often. I learned this the hard way. You just get confused and no real clarity shows up. Small readings can be done quite frequently such as a daily card or 3 card reading every week but a full Celtic Cross or year a head should only be done around once every three months. (Unless a super big issue comes up) 9. Dont ignore the Tarot reading just because you dont like the answer. Use this as an opportunity to learn why you got into the situation in the first place or ask for guidance on how to change the direction. 10. Dont take the credit or the blame in a reading. All readings go through spirit and really has nothing to do with you. So if you are really accurate, give thanks to the Helpers, if you werent dont feel bad. 11. Dont give away your readings for nothing. There has to be an energy exchange. Giving and receiving. For example, the receiving end doesnt have to be money but it could be feedback, super valuable to get you to be a better reader. Or dinner cooked by a friend, or a small gift of some sort. If you do a whole bunch of readings for absolutely nothing your gift or intuition will take a nose dive and you wont receive the messages you are meant to receive. (and that is sad) 12. Dont think that your readings dont mean anything to people. Realize that the readings you give affect peoples lives. Your clients make life choices based on these readings. Please be kind with your words and show great compassion and empathy for people going through transformational periods. Chances are you have been that vulnerable at some point in your life too.

Favorite 3 Card Spreads Three Card Spreads can be used to get an answer quickly and to the point. Sometimes they are even better than doing a full reading just because they are short and sweet. When asking the Tarot a question it is best to phrase the question with an open ended answer instead of a yes or no. Such as; How do I move forward in my Career, then lay out 3 cards and reveal the insight.
Card 1 Card 2 Card 3
3 Card Spreads for Problem Solving Challenge / Solution / Advice You / Problem / Solution Option 1 / Option 2 / Option I havent thought about 7 Mila Herenda Mizo Tarot Mizo Balancing Gemstones 11389 Royal Crescent North, Surrey BC V3V 6V5 604.951.MIZO (6496) www.mizotarot.ca Mizo Balancing Gemstones 2013 milamizo@gmail.com
Option 1 / Option 2 / What I need to know to choose Situation at the present moment / Obstacle / Advise Issue / where I need to focus / Solution What you want / What is blocking you / How do I receive the best outcome? For Relationships What you want / what they want / outcome Where we are / where you want to be / how to get there You/ your partner/ the relationship The issue or disagreement / the Solution / the next step What brings you closer / what tears you apart / what needs attention immediately Strengths of the relationship/ weaknesses of the relationship / how to overcome Just For Fun Ask the cards about the day and see how they match up. Morning / Afternoon / Night Notice the feelings/happenings of the day and compare it to the card for the same time frame. For example if you pick the World card for the morning, maybe and opportunity comes up to travel or you are just feeling on top of the World. And for the afternoon you get the 6 of Cups and you run into an old friend. For the evening you lucky person you picked the Strength card and passion runs wild. Or you need to have Strength throughout the evening for whatever reason. When you lose something such as your keys ask 8 Mila Herenda Mizo Tarot Mizo Balancing Gemstones 11389 Royal Crescent North, Surrey BC V3V 6V5 604.951.MIZO (6496) www.mizotarot.ca Mizo Balancing Gemstones 2013 milamizo@gmail.com
Where were they last / give me a hint on where it is / how will I find them? See if you can place where they were last; like if the 5 of Pentacles comes up that is the front door. Or if a Court card comes up as the hint it may be at your friends front door. Notice on the how you would find them what is the action on the card such as the Queen of Swords is sitting. So look on the sofa and chairs. Or maybe you will just by accident find that item while sitting down. Try to piece it together. Cleansing Your Tarot & Oracle Cards I like to cleanse my Cards every so often. Now, I know that sounds a bit out there but you should be able to feel when your deck needs a fresh energy. When you think, maybe I should cleanse this deck, well then you should. All I do is put some Clear Quartz and sometimes Citrine as well or just Citrine on top of my Tarot and Oracle Cards and leave it overnight. Sometimes I put Blue Quartz on top of them too. That is super helpful for finding your Tarot voice. As well, anytime I smudge the house I bring the smoke close by waving my eagle feather towards my decks very carefully. While I do this or any of the cleansing techniques I set the intention for the deck to be cleared and thank them for all those beautiful readings that they gave to me and my clients.
