← CHAPTER OVERVIEW
Let’s pull some cards
To be honest, I was quite sceptical about Tarot and Oracle Cards – until I started pulling three Tarot cards every morning and every evening and wrote them down for a while.
I don’t really know how to explain it, but I had no idea how a card pulled from a stack of cards could somehow be meaningful and not just random. This was before I knew that everything is meaningful and created by us, and I guess in a way the cards also helped me to actually see that.
Yet, even when I wasn’t sure if the cards were actually telling me the truth, I always felt drawn to them. And as I was living my life in the countryside, with many winter evenings to fill, I started to learn a bit more about Tarot.
In that process, someone somewhere suggested to just pull three cards twice a day, to get a better feeling and to understand how the cards work for yourself.
And so I did.
The first card I pulled each morning and each evening was for the (state of the) Mind, the second one for the (state of the) Body, and the third one for the (state of the) Soul. And I wrote each card down. It was so interesting.
Actually, I documented this in two ways. I wrote down the three cards and how I related to them in that moment, a bit like a diary, so that over time I could see that on days that I thought about the same things, the same cards appeared as well.
But I also wrote all the cards that are in the deck down on one page and then checked them off whenever I pulled them. This was a great visual support as you could see with one look, how I never pulled some cards, but how I pulled others all the time.
I think I pulled the tower almost every day (turbulent time with lots of inner change), and I almost had to start a new page just for this one card. But it didn’t come to that.
After a while, when I had seen how incredibly precise and accurate the cards were and when there was no doubt in my mind how well they worked, I switched to Oracle cards, Kyle Gray‘s Angels and Ancestors Oracle Cards Deck to be precise, and it so nicely and gently guided me through an incredibly tumultuous time of my life.
Why do the cards work so well?
We might not know what’s on the other side of each card, but our highest self knows.
So, if you ask a question, or think: body, or mind, or soul, your highest self knows what’s right or relevant for you to know, and the corresponding card, and it directly guides your hand, bypassing the mind and your consciousness and ego manipulation – it’s why muscle testing works so well as well, or pendulums.
And your highest self doesn’t only know what’s on the other side of your cards, it knows what book you have available, and what all the descriptions are in the book, and it can transcend time and space and knows how you shuffle, as this direct body connection with your highest self is so strong and bypassing the mind, your hand pulls the right card for you in that moment guided by that all knowing perspective that can basically see all cards and their meaning and your life past, present and future and has only your best interest in mind.
Quite magical, isn’t it?
And as we are all connected in spirit, it goes the same way, when someone pulls a card for someone else.
So when I pull a card for a friend or a client, I ask (in my mind): “What does this person need to know?” And then my hand will lead me to the right answer for that person accordingly.
And as our highest self only has our best interest in mind, there are also no bad cards.
This is a picture from today, it’s so often the case that the cards all align, even if I pull them at different times of the day.
In Tarot, there are cards like the devil, or death, or also the tower, maybe, that people find sc…
