Tarot Up!

There are many ways to interpret the Tarot, just as there are many, many Tarot Decks out there.   It does not matter what skill level you are, each new deck is a new experience; like being reunited with an old friend and seeing those changes that come to us all with time.  I am listing alternative names here because one of the decks that I seam to resonate with is The Sacred Circle Tarot deck by Anna Franklin and illustrated by Paul Mason.  This turns some of the cards around from the "traditional"
placement and names, but is really quite intriguing.

I have spent a wonderful three weeks studying the Fool/Greenman.

 I feel now as if I have a constant friend in  the Fool.  Although I have been reading for years, I feel as if I have learned so much.  It is just that new perspective and confidence I needed.  I am excited to continue with this new insight.

So, I say Tarot Up!  It is time to move on to the next card, The Magician/High Priest.  What new wonders will I see and learn watching the Magician?  What new insights will I find about myself talking with the High Priest?

Tis class is great because you learn to personalize each card, so that it becomes easy for you to remember the "feelings" of a card as well as the meanings.  Gone are the days of Rote Answers because this or that deck says "this IS the meaning!"

Of all the readings I have given since beginning this course, I have had exceptional results.  Even when I drew cards that made me say, "Wait, that can't be right"...  but then in the analysis it was right on!  I can not give Janet more praise in her teaching and ideas.    She gave us the ideas to explore, but we are the Oracles for the Cards.  Finally, I feel as comfortable with my Tarot Cards as I do with my Runes.  It is such a good feeling!

If you are interested in learning this new twist on Comparative & Intuitive  Reading (and remembering) your cards, check out Janet Boyer at http://janetboyer.com.  The current Tarot Class is closed; however, a new class will be starting soon!  Check out her Tarot Class page at http://janetboyer.com/Tarot_Classroom.html .  Also be sure to check out Janet's Tarot Card revievs:  http://janetboyer.com/Reviews_Decks.html ; she has a very easy to understand synopsis of many different decks and images of some of the cards, with links to Amazon and other sites if you would like more information or to purchase.  This has been invaluable to me, as there is nothing worse then getting a deck you purchased because you like a card they showed...but then once you get the deck you did not resonate with it.  Tarot and other Oracle decks cost too much to spend money on something you are not going to use at least once in a while.  Janet's site has been a great help in this for me.
