Reading Tarot for yourself

What are your thoughts on it? I have a deck of Tarot cards and in the guide book, it says you can read the cards for anyone, including yourself, but to make sure your not being bias when choosing a card, by which I mean reading it and deciding you don't like the message, so you choose one you do like. I thought that was fair. I read them for myself and I just chose the ones I was drawn to, turned them over to see what each one was, not swapping, no cheating and it was a positive reading.

I just wonder because Ouija boards get a bad name and sometimes Tarot do.

as a former clairvoyant I can tell you for certain Tarot cards and Ohuja are not the same. Tarot is more communication with your intuition, more factual although yes it can be used by malevolent things, whereas Ohuja is just pure evil.

regarding tarot as long as you dont do it too often IMO and dont relly on its readings like Gospel you can have a pretty good relationship with it although at some point in our lives we will eventually have to give up card readings completely as any other form of divination since it is prohibited by the Bibble and Jesus Christ specifically calls these things out.

For instance, I remember for an entire year I kept asking the tarot cards ( pulling cards myself,asking various other readers ) about someone I believed was a close friend of mine. All the cards every reader pulled basically resonated and said this man is completely trustworthy, that he is beyond amazing and that he has my best wishes at heart. In real life, after a year has passed and we renewed contact, it turned out to be the complete opposite.

So , as long as you dont give tarot too much credence, and ask other sources for your pressing questions and as well do not place your complete faith because like I said, here I was getting positive readings left and right about this man and it turned out terrible in real life which has made me wonder-whom or what was influencing these readings to come out so positive?

Food for thought.

The basic difference between Tarot and Ohuja is that Tarot is not a portal for evil entities, where Ohuja boards 100 percent ARE. Like every single one of them,even keeping one in your house is too dangerous in my opinion let alone using one.

Madame I must inject here if I may. I am a rather cursed kind of Mystic, my friends call them Gifts but we know what's what here.

Tarot - A great and mighty tool for communicating with the Universe, the Aethers, the winds of what may and may not be, and overall the greatest tool . . . yourself. When I utilize cards for my people, I go with the flow of the energy and let myself be the one guided to be the vessel for the information they need at that time, not always what they ask, I always sit with my people and raise the question they are asking to a higher octave of awareness for better insight.

BUT, when it comes to myself, reading and throwing cards, I stick to books and not my own opinion for I am a Leo and the Ego I so easily cast aside to be the bridge for that there and those here, I cannot do for myself. I know what I want an outcome to be, I am not so easy to fool even myself. And I write all readings down, to recall later in life. I am greatest with communicating with The Almighty, "B.O.B." through books just so I have the physical touch of something so I know that I am not entering insanity.

The only difference between Psychic and Psycho is how well you ride the rails in between the realities . . . Don't fall off, Sweety. (BEST advice I ever got and it stuck! Unfortunately that person fell off and hung themselves from madness. Return.Invested.Powerfully Chuckles.)

The Ouija board, the historical and misunderstood, Yes/No Bridge to the Astral and Aether. Yes, so much lower vibrating vile, smelly gremlins can come through it and trick you, deplete your psyche self (Like a cold), cause portals to remain unnecessarily open to create bumps in the night . . . so much to list. Always have a firmness in your Spirit, your skills, and your intent. It's not enough to say a prayer and go for it, be so secure in your Being that you are the sieve that the board creates manifestation through, not the board itself Know beforehand WHAT you need to know and why, and be strong in not dallying from your mission. Get in, get out lol.

A Ouija board. I have been creating one of marble since my first Jupiter Return, in fact, my first real and valid contact with the Aether (other) world was through a Ouija board. I was only 10 or so, and weirder things than most days occurred those couple months. (A child is a reservoir of real psychic energy.) A tool, like any other tool, is to be respected, well familiarized with, and educated on. My marble Ouija board is a secret I leave it alone and wrapped in black cotton cloth tied 8 different ways. The front is semi traditional, the back are all the prayers I grew up with and the ones I have come to learn through Mantra Yoga and Hermetic studies. I have poured a lot of time and Mantra Power into this thing and have never used it. When it is to be used, I will use it with an educated and knowledgeable manner as I seek this or that for him or her or them. (It may NEVER see the light of another persons presence I do not know.) But I know I have a tool, one that is strong and is sturdy in its purpose to only be a bridge of communication when I am unable, unwilling, or unneeded to do so. I do hope it will shine one day because I have been hauling that slab for more than 15yrs now, been working on it for 13. Maybe it is an interesting paperweight, conversation piece LOL)

ALWAY know your tools. Tarot, Ouija, Numbers, Stars, Channels, Vision Quest, the more you know the more you grow. A surgeon can create beauty and save lives and perform miracles with a scalpel. Letting a Joe-Blow man on the street give his mother open heart surgery with one, you're asking for the trouble one was to foolish to project and know ahead of time would come along. Look before you leap, God Bless and Brightest of Blessings.

For some people, reading for oneself can take a lot of practice. It takes experience and practice and trust to get past one's own filters. Others, however, find it easy. It can be hard to turn off and tune out one's investment in a certain outcome. But it's like riding a bike...once you do it, you can do it forever. Just trust.

As for Ouija... I used one on and off for over 20 years and never had a bad or negative experience. I don't know anyone who's had a bad experience with them, either. As I posted on another thread, you get what you believe you'll get. If you believe it's "evil", then you'll likely get that kind of experience.
My comments are the 2nd post.

As for divination being prohibited by the Bible, there are many, many thing prohibited in the Bible, Resurrection. I'm curious...are you following all the prohibitions?

I wrote about my experiences in another part of the board , how I almost joined a satanic cult and how I almost believed in the devil and nearly became a satanic priestess in said cult, until I had a near death experience and turned Christian :)

I'm certantly trying to follow everything, however we are all human and we all stumble,and Lord knows I stumble extremelly hard so nobody is perfect. Gods standards are very high and we are all sinfull so nobody is better or worse than the rest. As a Christian ( and especially someone who nearly was a satanist ) it says in the Bibble that God requires us to warn our fellow brethren about all our mistakes so we could keep each other from falling off So it wasnt critisizing when I said we one day will have to give divination up, it was just a friendly looking out for one another.


as for Ohuja boards not being evil,as I said,as a former clairvoyant, my experience is that they are pure evil, and my personal opinion is that people who havent had any negative experience with is are lucky and of course there are some of them, but me personally due to having former abilities I wouldnt touch them with a ten feet poll :(

Do you think it is fair for you to come on a forum about divination and preach like this
How would you feel if I came onto one of your threads and said how you lot used to burn pagans alive

Love and light.

Its just a friendly reminder. ReSurrection has fulfilled his half on the contract this time. dusts his shoulders off work complete. I've got no such marching orders from on high. Hey Resurrection, can you help me with a Christianity question? If magic is specifically against the rules, then why is it priests can use it? I get that its a blessing from the lord. But how is it different exactly from me casting a spell or otherwise manipulating energy?

I don't see it as manipulating energy, more like going with the flow

I am personally wondering that Tarot and the likes of Ouija are to do with each persons experience. I haven't used my Tarot cards in a long time. No major reason behind it, just not bothered. Although I do use my angel cards so I guess the Tarot have just taken a back seat.

Although I have been a Tarot reader for a long time I've never read the cards for myself. I think I wouldn't be totally honest with the answers to my own questions. I always felt that psychic readings should be done by someone who isn't directly emotionally involved in the queries.
