For an aspiring Tarot card reader, the process of learning how to do readings can seem quite daunting. Fear not though! The path to becoming a successful tarot card reader is not as difficult as it may seem at first glance. Although there are numerous books and resources on how to do Facade Tarot Readings using tarot cards, the basic method is quite simple.
bonding
Many experts suggest building a close bond with a new deck of Tarot cards. This can be achieved in many ways: sleeping with the Façade Tarot deck close to the heart or the pillow, for example. Doing this over several nights will bring about an attunement with the deck that will help your performance in the future. Another way to bond with your tarot deck is to meditate with the deck for a few minutes a day. Be careful not to let others tamper with your rig once it is properly tuned; you can break the bond you have worked to create. However, it is acceptable for others to shuffle and cut the deck, and this will not affect one’s bond.
Preparation
To stimulate creativity and positive energy, it is important to create the right atmosphere. Soft candles or incense can create an atmosphere that will relax the mind. Specific colored candles can also be used to enhance results:
- Blue: healing, calming
- Purple: improves sleep
- Green: wealth
- Black: cancellation of negative energies
Soft, relaxing music can be played to help the Facade Tarot reader focus, but loud music and other distractions should be avoided. In particular, heavy electronics and electronic devices should be turned off so they don’t interfere with the innate energies of the tarot deck.
Divination and Interpretation
When you are ready to begin the divination, first focus on the question being asked. View your question (or if you’re reading for someone else, ask them to view your question). Shuffle the deck as you consider the question in your mind. Ask the question out loud as you cut the shuffled deck, and then deal four cards in a diamond shape (like a baseball diamond).
Things to consider:
Orientation: Cards with the right side facing up contain positive energies. Reversed cards reverse the meaning of that particular card and are negatively affected.
Position: The position of the cards in the diamond correlates with:
- First card dealt (top of diamond): love life
- Second card dealt (right point): financial health
- Third card dealt (bottom of diamond): fitness and satisfaction
- Fourth card dealt (left point): work life
