Reading cards is about interpretation. "I" cannot tell "you" how to interpret your cards as long as you do not stray from the actual meaning you are open to describe and interpret them however you choose. But you also can not push that on another reader. Nothing in life is absolute and this is even more true in how someone decides to read the cards.

thank you for being aware of the language restrictions and changing them!! it's do important, I apreciate it a lot

I think it’s a little bit overkill to say that it’s offensive that they were all Europeans. Tarot cards are European, developed by Europeans. They derived from a game in Italy, spread through Europe and then developed under French occultists… The concepts are based in European society (Monarchical court cards), and concepts from European paganism (four elements) and general mythology (major arcana) . It’s an INDIGENOUS sacred spiritual practice , we tend to forget that. It gets remade all the time, which in the one hand is fine because times change, but in the other hand it literally is cultural appropriation and colonization. So, let’s have a multicultural tarot deck re illustration - but let’s not cry offense and injustice against the originators of the card system itself for being who they are and reflecting their own cultures.

@Miss_Deeds

Жыл бұрын

Yes. We forget that since we’ve colonized this continent (North America), over here Indigenous means Native American. But in Europe, Caucasians are indigenous. So it is an indigenous practice in Europe, but it has evolved to be created to represent the different people other than Europeans. I don’t know that anyones calling that appropriation. One thing I’m growing weary of is the shaming of appropriating ( fill-in-the-blank ), when the folks doing the shaming aren’t themselves members of the culture/community being appropriated. It’s a phenomenon of the times, the self-appointed gatekeepers of a community they aren’t a member of.

Sometimes, I just think I'll never REALLY get it, and people are saying slow down and trust the process (which I'm trying to do). I've also experienced, "learning" one way from someone, and then hearing something totally different from another. I guess we just have to choose which is the path that we identify with the most. It is very frustrating when things don't seem to make sense, but it is also fun when we make a rightful connection. Hopefully we will both make progress in this journey and not just give up. It seems I'm pulling the "right" cards, but not making the right connections. I have a friend who is further along in her tarot journey, and when she shares her interpretations of what the cards I pull mean, it is like the message just "clicks".

I'm still working on finding my way, so I thank you for your kind words. This morning I felt a bit of a breakthrough again so that was pretty cool (was having a bit of a mental block). Even though I just started, I take a little break when I'm feeling completely disconnected (sometimes a day, sometimes a few days). I just ordered a book online, so hopefully that'll help me. I'll still watch videos, because I like seeing the tarot interpreted "live", but I won't try to watch nor memorize every different person/method. I have a couple that I believe can guide me in the right direction. I'm also trying to figure out my own interpretations, which has been my trouble spot. It is always good to know that you're not alone on this journey, especially when the frustration hits, so I appreciate these little "chats" as much as you do, lol. Wishing you so much luck, and hopefully we'll both continue to find our way. :D :D :D

I assign the 12 zodiac signs to each card. To me, they represent attitudes. The pages show aspects of the major arcana card - the Fool. I like your approach because it's similar to mine.
