I was wondering if there are any other ways to use tarot. A friend told me a way to build up your intuiton is to pick a card, put that card back in the deck then shuffle the deck then lay them out to re find the same card. I was wondering if anyone knows of any similar games to build intuition or anything else . thank you!
I never tried this, but I know some people scry their tarot cards. You take one card and start scrying as with any other tool and let the card "speak" to you. It will supposedly help you get attuned with the meaning of the card and make your relation with your deck more personal.
Tarot is a symbolic occult library. There are so many things which can be done. Some people use ittobuild a microcosm within which they do rituals and spells. The book Portavle Magic is full of excellent ideas in this regard.
there's many ways you can use tarot but it is at it's chore a divination tool so the more you practice and work with them the better your intuition will become. something i usually suggest is to meditate on one card a day. examine the card in great detail, research the card, write about what it means and how you feel about the card, meditate while holding the card, carry the card with you and reflect on it throughout the day, and finally place it under your pillow that night to see if you receive any poignant dreams [be sure to also record any dreams] it's time consuming i know [78 card means doing this for almost 3 months] but you can understand the cards and get a better feel for them.
there's also doing a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly reading. shuffle the deck and get into a meditative state [meaning clear your mind and relax, only focus on shuffling, or the question like 'what will the day bring?'] when you feel ready, stop shuffling and take the top card [or bottom, or whatever card you feel calls to you] and read it. research it and reflect on it throughout your day [some also use 'jump cards' as in when you shuffle, sometimes cards fall out of the deck. some people feel these are the cards that are calling to you]
really the more practice you get the better your abilities will be. i'm no expert on tarot but i have read for a while and while i still have to rely on the book for certain cards, there are others i know right away because of how much practice i've gotten. when i started it felt daunting, but eventually you'll get a feel for things.
