Tarot: The Question Reading
There are two basic types of tarot readings – open readings and question readings. Open readings don’t require a question are used for general occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries or a turning point in one’s life. Question tarot readings can be used to explore personal questions.
The question tarot reading starts by setting the right mood. The querent should open himself or herself up to the insights brought by the cards. The reader, on the other hand, should feel secure about his or her abilities. The environment should be relaxing and comfortable, but allows full concentration for both parties.
Next, it’s time to ask the question. The reader may ask the querent to touch the card while thinking about the question to transfer some of his or her energy to the cards. The reader can make an opening statement, either in the form of a prayer or an affirmation, to welcome in the message of the cards. The querent may then ask the question out loud. Some may prefer to write the question before hand, and at this point can read it from what was written.
The cards are then shuffled and cut. Next, the tarot cards are spread. There are several spreads available. The selection is usually based on the reader’s preference or specialization. Some of the most popular include the Celtic Cross, the Horseshoe spread, the Tetractyte, the Mirror Spread, Mandala Spread, Star Spread and even the single-card spread.
During the tarot reading, a story may unfold that answers the question posted by the querent. The answer may branch out into details that are important to the querent’s life, as such, it is ideal to keep a notepad and a pen handy for taking down notes.
The last part of a tarot card reading involves clearing the deck of all energy patterns to prepare them for another reading or another question. Tarot readings can be very insightful and can help one discover the answers to some questions in an unconventional manner.
