Tarot is a divination system that uses a specific set of 78 illustrated cards. Some people see Tarot as a way to peer into the future or examine hidden aspects of a situation, while others use it as a therapeutic resource or simply a support for thinking outside the box and creating a sacred moment for themselves.

Tarot readings can offer insights, guidance, and clarity on life's uncertainties, serving as a tool for self-reflection, exploration, and potentially, a way to gain a different perspective on challenges and decisions. 

  • Traditional Card Reading:

    This involves following established meanings and interpretations of cards within a specific system (like Rider-Waite-Smith or Thoth). 

  • Intuitive Card Reading:

    This relies on gut feelings, imagery, and emotional responses to the cards, rather than strict definitions. 

  • Combining Approaches:

    Many readers find that using both traditional knowledge as a foundation and their intuition to interpret the cards in a more personal way can enhance the overall reading experience. 

We at The old Ways Spiritual Counselling, use a combined approach to readings, but with a background of traditional card reading studies..
