How to Work with the Angel Tarot Cards

Tarot is a divination tool that dates back to the 15th century. The second t in tarot is silent, so the word is pronounced "tair [rhymes with hair] oh.” Interestingly, in North America, the first syllable is emphasized, whereas in other regions, it’s the second syllable.

Tarot has touched the lives of countless individuals, giving them peace, comfort, and insight in times of joy as well as in times of challenge. It's one of the most accurate ways to receive detailed guidance about your future and answers to your questions. Consulting tarot cards is like spending time with a dear wise relative who acknowledges both the shadows and the joys of life. However, many people are put off or frightened by the traditional images and phrases in tarot. So the Angel Tarot Cards were created to preserve the ancient divination methods, while using only positive, gentle, and life-affirming words and pictures.

The deck retains the full scope of human emotions and experiences from traditional tarot, but reinterprets the fear-based images and words

to enlighten, rather than to frighten, those who use the cards.

This deck’s reinterpretation brings new and vibrant symbolism that may be unfamiliar to experi­enced tarot practitioners. However, whether you’re new to tarot or well versed In it, you’ll find that the messages in this deck are uplifting, refreshing, and accurate. It endeavors to preserve tarot's traditional detailed answers, while simultaneously simplify­ing the interpretations so you don’t have to wade through multiple pages to receive guidance.

Using Your Angel Tarot Cards

Tarot was originally two sets of cards, the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. (Arcana is the plural of arcanum, meaning a deep or profound secret or mystery.) The two sets were later combined into the now-traditional 78 cards.

The Major Arcana consists of 22 cards that describe major events and turning points in our lives (such as marriage, pregnancy, relationship and career changes, and personal challenges). The Major Arcana can also represent the different phases from cmldhood to old age.

The Minor Arcana represents more ordinary day-to-day life events and is divided into four suits or elements: fire, water a/'r and earth. The Minor Arcana cards are numbered I (Ace) through 10, plus the court cards—a Page (card II), a Knight (card 12), a Queen (card 13), and a King (card 14)—for each suit.

It's most common to treat the tarot as one deck of cards. However some people prefer to use the Major Arcana separately from the Minor Arcana. As you work with the Angel Tarot Cards, you’ll notice that each Major Arcana card features one of the 15 principal archangels! (A few archangels appear on more than one card, as they embody aspects of several cards.) These archangels provide strong protection and clear guidance as you travel along your spiritual path. The Major Arcana cards can also be mixed in with your other angel oracle decks to provide additional details in your readings.

The Minor Arcana consists of four suits or elements. The earth element is represented with paintings of fairies, air with unicorns, water with mermaids, and fire with friendly dragons. (Since air is traditionally represented by swords in tarot, the weapons have been replaced with the gentler imag­ery of unicorns whose horns are swordlike.)

Court cards can represent either a situation or a person during a reading. When the reading shows

the influence of another person in your life (such as a lover), Pages and Queens represent females (or feminine men), and Knights and Kings represent males (or masculine women).

On a historical note, the Major Arcana was originally created with Justice as the 8th card and Strength as the I Ith one. However, at the beginning of the 20th century, Arthur Edward Waite flipped the cards' positions when he created his famous Rider-Waite deck. His reasons for doing so were obscure, and this inversion was disruptive to the flow of the Major Arcana's spiritual-path story. So they have been restored to their original positions in the Angel Tarot Cards.

Since each individual tarot card has multiple pos­sible meanings, I recommend that you read Its descrip­tion in this guidebook and let your intuition lead you to the appropriate interpretation of the reading. Trust your angels and feelings to guide you. The cards in this deck are rich with symbolism and imagery, which also provide answers and messages. Notice where your attention Is drawn within each card's painting, as the illustration can hold equally important messages. This guidebook, coupled with your intuition, will help you understand the answers to all of your questions.

Reversed or upside-down cards mean that you especially need to focus upon the issue connected

to that particular card. Reversals can also mean that the energy around that particular card's meaning is beginning to lessen.

Here are the steps to give an oracle-card read­ing to yourself or others:

Step I: Clear Your Card Deck

Since your cards are sensitive instruments, they need to be cleared of any energy they may have absorbed from the manufacturing process. (Steps I and 2 only need repeating after another person touches your deck or if your readings lack clarity because the cards have become clogged with too much energy.)

To clear your cards, first hold the deck in your nondominant hand (the hand you normally don't write with), as this is the hand that receives energy. Form a fist with your other hand (this is the one that sends energy), and knock on the cards once. This clears out the old energy so that the cards are now a blank slate and ready to be imbued with your own vibration.

Step 2: Consecrate the Cards

Briefly touch each of the cards to infuse them with your personal energy. You can simply touch

one of the corners of each to accomplish this. Then fan the cards out with the artwork facing you. Hold the fanned cards to your heart and think about any prayers or intentions you’d like to bestow upon your cards. For instance, you can say the following silently or aloud:

“I ask that all of my readings with these cards be accurate and specific, and bring blessings to everyone involved. Please help me stay centered in my higher

self so that I may clearly hear, see, feel, and know the Divine messages that wish to come through these readings."

Ask and pray for whatever help you'd like during your readings, such as confidence, clarity, compassion, and so forth. Your cards now carry your personal vibration and intentions.

Step 3: Ask a Question

Think of a question you’d like an answer to. If you're giving a reading to someone, ask him or her to either think of or verbalize a question. Your angels and guides can hear your thoughts, so you needn't voice your queries aloud.

Step 4: Shuffle the Cards

Think of the question as you shuffle the cards, and ask the angels to help you with answers and guidance, If one or more cards "jump” out of the deck while you’re shuffling, place them to the side. They'll be part of your reading.

As you're shuffling, you’ll likely notice feelings, thoughts, words, or visions. This Divine guidance will help you further understand the cards you draw, so pay attention to these impressions as they come to you.

When your cards begin to clump into two distinct sections, it's time to stop shuffling. You may also receive a feeling, thought, or vision that tells you to stop—or you may even hear the words Stop shuffling now. Trust and honor these Divine messages that are helping you with the reading. You can't make a mistake and stop shuffling too early, as the Law of Attraction ensures that you’ll always choose the correct cards.

Step 5: Choose a Card

Pull the top card from the deck. This is the answer to your question, or guidance about which healing steps to take to help you with the issue you’ve

inquired about. As you read the words on the card, notice any thoughts, additional words, feelings, or visions that come to you, as these are messages from your angels and guides that personalize the card’s particular meaning for you. The picture also holds significance, so be sure to study Its details. If you set aside a card (or cards) that "jumped” out of the deck while you were shuffling, carefully examine it, too.

Step 6: Consult This Guidebook

Turn to the corresponding page within this guidebook for each card. The information there will give you specific guidance to help walk you through any life changes or to take appropriate action. As you read the words, notice any thoughts or feelings that come to you, as they, too, are a personalized part of the answer.

Three-Card Spread

After completing Steps 3 and 4, pick three cards from the top of the deck. With the pictures and words facing up, lay the first card to your left, the second one in the middle, and the third to the right.

The card to your left speaks about the immediate past with respect to the situation you inquired about. The middle card reveals your question's current status and what you need to know or work on right now. And the card to the right shows your immediate future if you continue on your present path and follow the guidance in the middle card. Again, remember that you can improve your future by holding a positive outlook and following your inner guidance.

The Celtic Cross

The most popular spread for tarot cards is called the Celtic Cross, and it can be used to answer ques­tions about any topic. This spread often cards reveals the basis of your situation, the challenge, the past, the present, the near future, and the likely outcome.

After completing Steps 3 and 4, lay out ten cards faceup in the order shown in the diagram on the following page.

10

• Card I represents the situation.
• Card 2 represents the current challenge affecting

the issue.

• Card 3 represents the basis of the situation.
• Card 4 represents the past as it pertains

to the situation.

• Card 5 represents the present.
• Card 6 represents the near future.
• Card 7 represents your power in the situation.
• Card 8 represents the effects of people around you.
• Card 9 represents your hopes or fears.
• Card 10 represents the outcome.

In the next section of this guidebook, you’ll find meanings for each card. Remember that you have freewill choices about all areas of your life. You can also change the outcome of any situation through prayer, visualization, positive affirmations, and taking guided action. Your angels and guides can help alter your future for the better if you'll just ask for, and be open to, their assistance.

The Meanings of the Cards

This guidebook explains the general meanings for every card in the Angel Tarot Cards deck. As is traditional in tarot, the Major Arcana cards are listed first numerically, followed by the unnumbered Minor Arcana cards, which are grouped Ace through King by suit.

When you’re ready to look up a card's meaning, find the corresponding page and read the interpreta­tion and symbolism for the entry. Your inner wisdom will tell you if any of the information applies to you, or it may trigger further insights about your situation. Your intuition will offer you even more personalized messages from your angels and guides, so as you read, simultaneously pay attention to your thoughts and feelings.

The Major Arcana

The Major Arcana consists of 22 cards describ­ing major events and turning points in our lives. As explained earlier, these cards can also represent the different stages from childhood to old age. Each Is numbered, as is traditional In tarot, and features an archangel who is associated with the card’s message.

All Artwork by Steve A. Roberts

An artist of vision and technique, Steve A. Roberts is self-taught. This he did by studying the works of his childhood heroes—legendary fan­tasy artists such as Frank Frazetta and the Brothers Hildebrandt. Steve received his only formal train­ing when he sat in on classes at the Ringling School of Art.

Born in central Florida in a little town called Palmetto, a stone's throw from the Gulf of Mexico, he began drawing, like most artists, as a young child. Later, he spent 12 years in Alaska, a place that had always stirred his imagination. In that time, Steve

drove a taxi in Anchorage, worked construction, built a log cabin on 40 acres, and painted the won­ders of this fairy-tale land. Meanwhile, his work was receiving more and more attention. Returning to Florida, Steve started his company, Fantasy Graph­ics. He is now being recognized as one of the most talented new artists in the field of fantasy illustration.
