The Art of Divination
Online tarot represents one of the most widespread methods of divination today.
Readings are often done by drawing cards and laying them out in what is known as spreads. Each tarot spread contains positions, with each position analysing a different aspect of one’s concern. As cards are interpreted, a story unfolds card-by-card. These stories can help a reader take a close but objective look at their life and unique challenges. Insights gleaned from readings can help people change their lives. Readings should never be viewed as truly ‘positive’, ‘negative’, or as a confirmation of the future. Once a message is received, it often creates a fork in the road: a choice that may have been overlooked had the reading not been done.
When someone does a reading, it is up to them to interpret each card for themselves. The first thing to do is to select a deck and a spread which was designed to answer the type of question that will be posed. To become more familiar with the spreads, read about how they work on the spreads page. It is usually best to form a question in the mind before proceeding with a reading. As spread explanations precede each layout, one can simply scroll down when ready to uncover the cards face up and begin to interpret the reading.
