Tip #1: Dialoguing with the Querent

Tip #1: Dialoguing with the Querent

Divinatory consultation, whether through the Tarot de Marseille, the Petit Lenormand, or any other oracle, is primarily a human activity oriented towards advice. It is essential to approach this practice with humility and respect for the querent. A warm welcome, accompanied by a smile and a kind attitude, is fundamental to creating an atmosphere of trust and comfort. This facilitates dialogue between the reader and the querent, making the exchange more fluid.

Easy dialogue is crucial because it allows for active listening to the querent. It is important to ask open-ended questions that encourage the querent to share their thoughts and emotions. Good dialogue also allows for rephrasing and clarifying the exchanged statements.The reader can thus rephrase their interpretations to ensure the querent understands the guidance offered. Similarly, asking the querent to rephrase what they said shows that the reader is listening carefully, while clarifying important points to better understand the context and refine the interpretation of the cards.

Dialogue is also important for expressing empathy and understanding towards the querent. Validating and acknowledging the querent's emotions is essential for establishing a strong connection between their real situation and the interpretation of the cards. This helps create an authentic connection and gives meaning to the reading.

It is crucial to remain non-judgmental. Even if the cards sometimes indicate warnings or imperative advice that seem obvious to the reader, it is important not to criticize or judge the querent's feelings and decisions. What is obvious to the reader may not be to the querent, who may still be blocked by their own hesitations. The reader's role is not to impose decisions, but to offer perspectives, while respecting the querent's freedom to act according to their own judgment.

Good dialogue can also promote collaborative interpretation, involving the querent in the analysis of the cards. The reader can ask the querent what they see or feel when looking at the cards, which enriches the interpretation and makes it more relevant. This also allows for clear explanations of the cards' meanings, making them accessible to the querent and directly relating them to their specific concerns.

Finally, dialogue is essential for follow-up and support after the consultation. Even while remaining non-judgmental, it is useful to propose concrete actions or reflections that can help the querent move forward. However, these suggestions should be presented as options among others, leaving the querent the freedom to choose their own actions.

Being available for questions or future follow-up reinforces continuous support for the querent. All these aspects of dialogue not only provide a more enriching reading but also create a positive and transformative experience for the querent.

Tip #2: Practicing Regularly and Keeping a Journal of Readings

Tip #2: Practicing Regularly and Keeping a Journal of Readings

When it comes to practicing regularly, it is beneficial to draw cards once or twice a week or several times a month. However, it is crucial not to go to extremes: drawing cards every day, especially for oneself, is not recommended, unless one practices cartomancy in a professional setting. Even in this case, it is not advisable to draw cards for oneself daily. Conversely, abstaining from drawing cards for several months, or even years, is not ideal either.

Naturally, I am not talking about learning a new system that requires intense training, where one multiplies the readings. Here, I am talking about our personal practice and our relationship with the cards.

It is common for a querent to suddenly discover the world of cartomancy and become so passionate that they adopt a frenetic practice, chaining readings without taking the time to analyze them. This excessive approach can lead to saturation, where one feels like they are going in circles in their practice. For example, drawing only the 22 major arcana of the Tarot de Marseille, as is often the case in France, or using a simple oracle like the Petit Lenormand, can create a monotonous routine. These games, after being used daily by a beginner, often end up being left aside for long months.

An irregular practice, marked by periods of enthusiasm followed by phases of abandonment, is not advisable. It is preferable to maintain a regular practice to progress. Cartomancy is a life path, and it is important to have a balanced practice, neither too frequent nor too rare. This allows the cards to accompany us throughout our lives, offering precious support during important decisions or major events.

Establishing a routine in divinatory practice can also be beneficial. For example, drawing a card at the end of the day to reflect on the events experienced can become a ritual. Keeping a journal is also crucial, as it allows one to track their progress and consolidate their learning. In this journal, one can document each reading: note the date, the cards drawn, the question asked. This helps to identify recurring behavioral patterns and better understand their inner mechanisms.

The journal also allows for deep personal reflection. One can record their interpretations, feelings, and perspectives gained. This not only helps to deepen self-knowledge but also to better understand the cards and develop one's talent. Reviewing and analyzing past readings allows one to notice interpretation errors and see how situations have evolved. This retrospective strengthens skills, self-confidence, and the ability to offer more precise consultations.

Finally, the journal can help develop one's skills through meditation and visualization before or after readings. Writing down one's feelings and first impressions allows for finer inner listening. The more one writes, the more comfortable one becomes with their interpretations, thus strengthening the relationship with the cards.

Practicing regularly and journaling one's readings helps to gain patience and perseverance, essential qualities in the practice of divinatory cards. Like any art, mastering cartomancy requires time and sustained effort. Patience is key to progressing on this life path.

Tip #3: Ritualizing Your Consultations

Tip #3: Ritualizing Your Consultations

During a consultation, whether it is for oneself or for someone else, it is common for emotions to arise. Indeed, the querent may experience emotions due to the cards drawn, which may seem very positive or very negative, bringing the querent back to their own issues and inner tensions. These emotions can be transmitted to the reader, who must be attentive, receptive, and listen to what the querent is experiencing. This emotional connection can also affect the reader, who may feel personal emotions due to the querent's situation or the cards revealed.

In this context, ritualizing your consultations is extremely important. This involves creating a sacred framework, a space of respect and reverence for the practice of cartomancy. Rituals bring a sense of respect and transform a simple reading into a sacred and meaningful experience. Ritualizing your readings also allows you to connect more deeply with your intuition and feelings, and to establish a spiritual connection with the querent.

Rituals promote concentration and introspection. They help to calm the mind, to focus on the question or intention of the reading, thus channeling emotions to obtain clearer and more precise answers. By setting a clear intention before each reading, rituals direct energy and attention towards specific goals, which improves the relevance of the answers obtained.

Ritualizing consultations promotes stability and confidence. Adhering to a ritual routine creates a reassuring, stabilizing habit, and helps to develop a regular and disciplined practice. By following rituals, one also strengthens self-confidence, in one's skills, and in one's interpretations, because one knows that one has followed a structured and thoughtful process.

For those who believe in energies, rituals can offer energetic protection. Purification rituals such as the use of sage or incense help to eliminate negative energies and protect the reading space. There is therefore a dimension of spiritual security in invoking protections, creating a safe environment where one can work without fearing negative influences.

Rituals also encourage more attentive inner listening, strengthening the connection with one's inner self. Over time, rituals help to develop and refine intuitive and divinatory abilities.

In summary, ritualizing your readings allows you to create a sacred framework, to strengthen concentration and intuition, to stabilize practice, to protect the work space energetically, and to develop interiority. This transforms each reading into a deeper and more meaningful experience.

Tip #4: Exploring Different Traditions and Divinatory Tools

Tip #4: Exploring Different Traditions and Divinatory Tools

It is enriching to experiment with different methods to vary the readings. Trying various types of readings such as the cross spread, the three-card spread, or other methods, allows us to discover which ones suit us best, while diversifying our practice.

Using different decks also offers a richness of experience and opens new perspectives. Each divinatory tradition uses unique symbols and images, and by exploring these different traditions, we can discover new ways to interpret the cards and obtain varied insights. This allows us to choose the method most suited to each situation.

Enriching knowledge is another advantage. Each divinatory tradition has its specific historical and cultural roots. By studying these traditions, we deepen our understanding of the history of divination and the cultures that have practiced it. This also improves our overall divination skills by making our practice more versatile.

The development of introspection is also stimulated by this diversity. Using different decks and divinatory systems exposes our feelings to new images and symbols, which can strengthen our ability to capture subtle messages. The practice of several traditions makes our skills more flexible and adaptable, capable of navigating between different systems with ease.

This exploration also allows us to personalize our practice. By discovering different traditions, we can find the one that resonates most with us and adjust our approach according to our preferences and needs. We can also combine elements from various traditions: for example, associating the Petit Lenormand with the Tarot de Marseille, or adding runes to a tarot reading.

This combination of methods creates a unique practice that suits us perfectly. Finally, the use of different traditions can improve the accuracy of our interpretations. Using multiple divinatory systems to answer the same question allows us to validate the responses obtained, and to improve accuracy through cross-validation thanks to the complementarity of approaches.

In summary, exploring different traditions and divinatory methods not only enriches our practice but also increases the precision, depth, and relevance of our interpretations.

Tip #5: Joining a Community

Tip #5: Joining a Community

Joining a community is one of the most important aspects of mastering divinatory games. It primarily offers a space for exchanging knowledge and experiences. Through continuous learning, by joining a community, one gains access to a wealth of knowledge shared by practitioners of all levels. This allows one to learn new techniques, deepen one's understanding of the cards, and discover different perspectives.

Sharing experiences within the community is also crucial. Members share their experiences, which can help understand how others interpret the cards and apply the teachings of the tarot in their daily lives.

Being part of a community also provides support and encouragement. Motivation plays a central role in divinatory practice. Being part of a community motivates one to practice regularly and stay engaged in one's practice. The support of other members can encourage one to persevere, even in the face of challenges.

Encouragement and positive feedback within the community strengthen confidence in one's abilities and encourage exploration of new methods or divinatory traditions, trying new card games, or simply asking questions.

There are also opportunities for practice within the community. Exchanging readings with other members allows one to practice one's skills in a supportive and constructive environment. Additionally, receiving constructive feedback on one's readings helps identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.

Joining a community also promotes personal and spiritual development. Community discussions and activities can inspire exploration of new dimensions in one's spiritual practice and personal growth. Sharing spiritual experiences with others can strengthen one's own spiritual journey and provide a sense of belonging to a larger community.

The community also allows for networking and taking advantage of opportunities. Communities often organize events, workshops, and seminars that offer learning and development opportunities. Being part of a community allows one to meet people with similar interests, which can lead to collaborations, friendships, and even professional opportunities.

Finally, joining a community helps maintain an open mind. Cartomancy involves openness to mystery and synchronicities. Staying curious and receptive to the subtle messages of the cards, as well as to the interpretations and approaches of others, enriches our divinatory practice and understanding of this art.
