Spiritualism has been a huge trend amongst teens, with things like crystals and meditation taking over social media platforms. The latest trend associated with this spiritualism is tarot cards–a fortune-telling system.

Tarot Cards are a deck of  “playing” cards with spiritual meaning that, if read properly, purport to read your future. All of the different cards have their own imagery, symbolism, and story.

Tarot cards are a great tool and can be used in many ways. When you get or give a reading of the cards it can tell you about issues you are facing in your life and helps you solve them. These cards give you instant access to your subconscious mind and your inner wisdom. Tarot cards have helped me in many ways with different situations that have happened in my life. There are different sections to the cards. The first section is the major arcana, which has cards like the lovers and the moon. Then there is the minor arcana which will add in details to make your reading more specific to you. The cards can address any situation in your life; it can vary from love to your friends and family issues.

To use tarot cards:

1. Tarot deck

You can easily buy a tarot deck online. You can never use someone else’s tarot deck because tarot is all about energy and when you use someone else’s and they use yours, you are spreading different energies onto the deck. The key thing with using a tarot deck is having respect for the cards and trusting in them. If you come into the reading with no respect for the cards they won’t work on your side.

2. Store them in silk

When you are not using your deck, you need to protect it by keeping it wrapped in silk fabric or a scarf. This protects it from any negative energy.

3. Books

When learning to use the tarot, this is the most helpful tool. These books will tell you how to understand the cards, the different spreads, and what the cards mean. It’s very hard to use tarot cards without a book to help you.

Tarot cards are a great tool for understanding your current situations in life. The cards will take a while to understand and get used to, but buying a book and practicing will make a huge difference. If you are looking to start reading tarot cards, my advice is to find a friend who can read yours to see if you learn something and would enjoy something like this.
