Tarot Cards. Reading the Celtic Cross

The Celtic cross is one of the most popular types of reading for most psychics. I like it, because I have been able to adapt it to suit my purposes as a reader and my clients like the way that I’ve been able to do a karmic reading with it as well.

Practising with the tarot cards is very important before embarking on reading for clients. Powering up the cards as explained in previous articles and ensuring that the individual cards are understood is very important. Once this skill has been mastered by the reader, then one can go onto the different types of readings. Doing simple readings such as one card a day, or the three card reading, the past, present and future. This, I find is always present in most readings, but especially with in the Celtic cross, which is one of the reasons it is so popular.

The Celtic cross is also a very dramatic way of doing a reading and offers up a lot of information. To practice, individuals can choose a subject. Do no do someone else you know as this may be detrimental to the whole reading, especially when done with out their permission. If the person you want to read for is in the same room and they give permission, then it makes the reading easier to do. I found in my early days when doing readings that if I didn’t ask permission, then I had a harder time to do a reading. If I asked permission or was given permission, I had an easier time of it. The reading then flowed the way it is supposed to. If the reading isn’t right, then the energy will feel chopped, distorted and will not give an accurate account of what is going on.

Very few people will be able to read for them selves. It is rare that anyone can do so. Revealing the future to oneself can have detrimental effects unless the individual has a tremendous amount of self discipline and can keep themselves in the here and now. I know of very few people like that, so choose a subject say for instance a project that can have a yes or no answer for the outcome.

Once the tarot cards are powered up, keep them from getting other vibrations from other people around the room, keep the cards in a black silk scarf or black velvet cloth or bag. This will stop the added energy from being picked up by the cards. Shuffle the cards well, I usually ask my clients to shuffle three times, then to imagine on a piece of paper to pretend writing a question. This can be done with the project in mind you want an answer to. Then, imagine it being dissolved into the cards. Every psychic has their own way of doing this, and eventually as individuals who use the tarot cards more and more, become more proficient, they will find their own methods.

Doing the Celtic cross is easy enough. Follow the instructions on the leaflet, lay the main card down face up directly in the middle of the table. This card is the situation at hand, the one the querent is going through at the moment. The next card will be crossing over the first card to make a cross. How this card is laid is very important. This covers the situation. It can help predict the outcome or help with a situation the querent is going through. If the card is laid so that the top is left it means the situation is still yet to come, if the card is laid so that the top is to the right, it means the situation is coming to an end. However it is read, the meaning of the cards are dependent on the surrounding cards. Lay the remaining cards out, first starting with the far left, this is the situation that has left the querent and is no longer an issue for them. Next lay out the card for the top. This is the situation that is to come and covers the situation the querent is in, describing it in detail can help the psychic to establish a relationship with the other cards and find out what is happening at the present, and for the future. Next lay out the card that goes to the right of the cross. This card depicts what is about to happen. It corresponds with the card that was first laid out on the left of the cross and how long the situation is before it leaves the querent.

Next lay out the card that goes on the bottom of the cross, this card is about the querent themselves and the situation, how they deal with it and what they plan on doing or could do. Remember there are always choices and no hard answers in psychic work. Next lay out in a row that goes from bottom to top on the right hand side, four cards. The first card is in line with the last card dealt out at the bottom of the cross. This card is about the querent, and the situation they find themselves in, the way they handle themselves in everyday life as well as the present. The next card is about family, and how they deal with the querent and the situation at hand. The next card, is about hopes and fears, these are just predictors on how an individual can feel, not should be feeling. Next comes the outcome of the reading. This usually corresponds with the third card that was laid out around the cross. Using these two cards can let the psychic know what the outcome can be.

I use a similar layout for my clients. I add a few things, such as a karmic reading and one extra outcome which offers an alternative to the one that has been cast. I also do an individual card that tells me who or what the querent is going through besides the ones already cast.

Lastly, I to think that the celtic cross is like telling a story. It covers the past, present and future. But, tarot cards can be taken seriously or not. But the choice to do the cards needs to be done with the truth in mind and with the fact that the knowledge is a God given gift. Finally have fun!
