The Tarot and How To Use Tarot Cards - Teal Swan-

Traditionally, since the 1400s, Tarot was a deck of cards much like playing cards. There were 78 cards in the deck. And originally people would play card games with the deck. The original tarot was a lot like the modern day playing cards, which all have specific suits that dictate the way the game is played. Each card of the tarot symbolizes something and based on the symbol drawn the game unfolds in a specific way.

But the tarot’s purpose extended far beyond a card game. Symbols are used to represent entire concepts such a spiritual principals, philosophical ideas and societal archetypes. And each card in the tarot does just that. It represents an entire concept. And as such, it is used as a tool of divination.

You remind me so much of, "Xena: The Warrior Princess" I love it. 😍

My Grandmother used a regular deck of cards for reading tarot, she was a gypsy during the late 1800's.

You're such a good Teacher, Teal. I'm very grateful to have You in my life.

[mudbonesmoke]

I appreciate how intelligently you speak on these subjects. That's so rare!

I was feeling anxious and shuffled my deck as I watched this and 'BREATHE' flipped out.

Tarot helped me recover from a toxic relationship by being the perfect tool to reconnect with myself and learn to trust myself again (by trusting my connection to source). It took about 6 months practice and then I got to the point like you said where I was so comfortable at doing readings esp intuitively where I just laugh and say "of course!" at those uncanny card pulls, it all starts becoming validation and a way to dig a little deeper then too. I love doing readings for friends and thier young adult kids for career and life guidance, its special to be able to pay it forward and lift a persons day or help them gain confidence., esp for all the help spirit has given me when I felt lost or confused.💕

BTW Teal your Frequency deck has just been amazing to use!!! Both in artistry and messaging. Every draw has been so right on. Its like having a deck I didn't know was missing, I use it all the time now! 💗🙏💗

Tarot is my Healing tool. I vibe 100% with Tarot. For me T for Tarot & T for Truth. Thanks Teal for sharing such a lovely video on Tarot!

I watched this video 6 days ago and thought: "What? Tarot? Isn't that just beautiful pictures and believing what you want to believe?" But yesterday it struck me. I felt the strong impulse to dive deeper into this and I even bought a tarot deck today! I'm so exicted to explore my intuition further and let's see what happens :) Thanks Teal

I just had a dream of using tarot cards and then awoke to this video.

i love tarot and oracle cards. they always help me see situations and myself in different lighting and help me realize what needs focusing and what needs letting go.

[INFJparadox]

I have been studying Tarot for over two years. It is such a complex and dynamic form of divination with endless interpretations. I have also began a great collection of Tarot and Oracle decks as I love the artwork in so many of them. I am not a reader for others (yet), but I am learning that a major part of divination is trusting your own intuition and not necessarily the textbook meanings of the cards. I have also had many readings and every reader is very different, especially since many have other gifts such as mediumship and psychic abilities. Thank you so much for doing this, Teal! :)

[IMAspiringToGrace]

tarot is "traditional", but those interpretation is NOT mandatory. in fact, the worst readings I have ever had came from readers who stuck to "traditional" definitions.
I've been reading for 43 years, and I often use the images to suggest a definition of my own making.

[carolinabu]

My friends don't like you bcs they feel their dark side they want to love how you explain that dark side we don't want to see and bring it to light 🤗

[shaktiveda]

By all means Teal, in every video I ever listen of yours there is always something else and something new for me to learn. You would probably smile and think that I already knew it and I had the answers all along, and you would be right, but it is so good to hear it from you and to resonate with your teachings so much...There are many great tutoring videos everywhere, but yours said exactly what I needed to hear. This video helps with restoring confidence in oneself, technical lessons are great, but nothing will work without self confidence. Indeed, since I begun to read Tarots I am much more connected, focused and alert, my passion has begun to wake up and even chronic fatigue left, I would have done it sooner if only I had known this before. I am so grateful I listened to that message I was getting from my higher self and decided to click on to this video, thank you!!! Namaste

[kharina]

This is by far the best explanation of the Tarot. I resonate with all you said. I'm encouraged and excited to delve deeply and hope to help others. Thanks Teal for your transparency and brilliance!

[BooMcita]

What a beautiful video :) I love Tarot and I felt that "confirmation" in *so many* of your points. The deck I had for over 15 years was destroyed by someone just to hurt me and it felt like everything was over... Later I realized I could just GET ONE! It was such a crazy thought. Today it is a beautiful black and gold deck with beautiful drawings and colours that I love and I felt so represented by them with the explanation about the vibration of the deck/reader. The way I clear them is that I divide and organize them by their numeric order and arcana and suits, it gives me a feeling of resetting! Loved the video! Just wanted to share my experience, would love to read others'!! :D

[Renee-Heal-The-Eagle]

I LOVE tarot. Thank you for this video. I also use the pendulum for assessment of my current psyche situation. The tarot and pendulum reading saved my life.

[australopithecusss]

I love you Teal, you give me hope and faith in humanity, and if you ever need someone to lean on, this old retired art teacher right here is here for YOU. love and all manner of good fortune to all who read these words, lori

[MasterLordJesusChrist]

I too believe that the capacity to Divine is not inherent in the deck, it is inherent in the reader. I believe cards and any form of study should be used to confirm, not to dictate who a person is, nor dictate the situation, but again--to confirm. I think humans are prone to prejudge and so their influence or judgment can unknowingly be reflected in their readings and what they write, although their intents may be innocent. I do not use tools because I want to be guided by the Divine Holy Spirit without tools. And I am just learning to use my gifts. Before now, I've used my spiritual gifts to help people by "accident" (since childhood), if you will. I do not disfavor tools if the professional needs tools. Wonderful YouTube share. Thank you Teal Swan!

tarot reading is not evil. for those religious folks... the bible says don't seek to know the future. some readers, like me, don't predict the future. Instead I use the cards to help people see what's going on around them and what they can do about it. it's a form of therapy. I personally don't believe it's possible to see the future. maybe there are a few very talented folks who can (and they're probably currently working for the government as remote viewers) predictions are in the same percentile as flipping a coin, so you literally have 50 percent of a chance of getting something right.
