I have been reading for many years. Meditation and Hypnosis have helped me open
up to my many gifts and my gift of knowing.
My pendulum and my cards are used to bridge the connection between your
energy and mine. Our guides lead us to
more clarity for the questions we ask.
Ultimately the path you take and the choices you make in creating your
future and a fulfilling life are your own.
You are number one. When you love
yourself first, you have more love to give others. In giving to others, remember to open to
receiving as well.
WHAT IS TAROT?
Tarot
cards are a form of divination used to measure potential outcomes and evaluate
influences surrounding a person, event, or both. The cards are often viewed as having no power at all and are
simply a guideline to aid the intuitive reader.
The reader is simply interpreting the probable outcome based upon the
forces presently at work. A Tarot
reading should not be seen as coming with any guarantee of ultimate
outcomes. It just gives the subject
additional information so that the person asking the questions can make a more
informed choice.
SPREADS
A spread is
the arrangement of cards dealt in a reading. Each position is associated with a
different aspect of the posed
question. There are numerous spreads but the most common are the Three Fates
and the Celtic Cross.
The Three Fates consists of three
cards representing the past, the second card representing the present, and the
third representing the future.
The Celtic Cross
consists of ten cards representing the past, present, future, personal hopes,
and conflicting influences.
CARD ASPECTS
A Standard
tarot deck consists of two groups of cards: Major Arcana and Minor Arcana.
The Major Arcana are stand-alone cards
of which there are 22, with their own unique meanings focused on the material
world, the intuitive mind and the realm of change. These include cards such as
the Fool, the Sun, the Moon, Strength, the Tower and Temperance.
The Minor Arcana, of which there are 56
cards, is similar to a deck of regular playing cards. They are divided into
four suits with themes, Swords (Spades), Cups (Hearts), Wands (Clubs) and
Pentacles (Diamonds) having cards from Ace through 10, and then face cards
representing the page, knight, queen and king.
The Swords generally indicate conflict or moral issues, Cups reflect
matters of emotion and relationships, Pentacles focus on the material aspects
of life, such as security and finance, and Wands represent things like jobs,
ambition, and activity.
CHOOSING A TAROT DECK
There are hundreds of Tarot decks available. Some are
based upon famous books, legends, mythology, artwork and even movies. In
choosing a deck for yourself, choose a deck that attracts you and feels good to
you. Although books and charts come in
handy, the best way to actually become familiar with your cards is by holding
them, feeling them and to go through the deck card by card and decipher what
you see and feel. The messages you get
won’t necessarily be what someone else may but those are the messages meant for
you personally

PENDULUM
A
pendulum is a commumication tool. Personal items such as
rings and pendants hanging on a chain, string or ribbon can perform
well. In a pinch, I have used my car keys which are on a chain. A
crystal or semi precious stone pendulum can be found online.
Pendulum
divination (also known as pendulum dowsing or scrying) is a method of obtaining
answers to questions, determining probabilities & possibilities, and a
useful way of receiving guidance, much as you would by using tarot cards,
scrying mirrors, spirit boards, runes, and etc.
A
pendulum is a tool that hones in on the psychic powers within each of us. A
pendulum can also be used to obtain information that has been lost to us
through repressed memories or have been forgotten. Pendulums can also be used
to reveal truths that we already know, but have not come to terms with.
The
subconcious, as the person's intuitive self, Spirits, your higher self, may
influence, and give correct answers, through the pendulum. Like any
divination tool, however, it may be influenced by lower spirits who may attempt
to trifrom ck you. Just like asking a human, you should be careful whom
you choose to get answers. Blessing the pendulum decreases the chances of
a mal-intented spirit influencing the pendulum.
Should
you choose to purchase your own pendulum, I have listed some important
information.
CLEANSE YOUR PENDULUM
Whether you have made or bought your
pendulum, it is very important that you purify it. Fill a bowl with fresh pure
water and add a little sea salt. Say a cleansing prayer: "Purge me
from all negative energy. Create in me the cleanest and clearest of
hearts. Renew the highest of spirit within me". Dip both ends of the
pendulum into the water for a few minutes. Rinse with clear water and dry with
a clean towel. On the night of the full moon, place it in the moonlight
and leave it until the following morning.
ENERGIZE
and PROGRAM YOUR PENDULUM
Place it under your pillow at night
and carry it with you for a couple of days in a velvet or silk cloth. It will
tune into your energy. You will then be ready to test its power. Relax.
Place your bent elbow on a sturdy surface. Bend your hand loosely at the
wrist. Holding the chain between the thumb and forefinger,
let the pendulum hang down over the palm of your opposite hand by about an
inch. It should not touch anything or anyone. Make sure your hand and arm
are completely still and relaxed. Wait until the crystal has stopped swinging
at the end of the chain before you begin or just say STOP. Ask a question in
which you know the answer is YES. The crystal should begin to move. Whatever pattern of the movement, take note that this will always
be your YES answer. Repeat the question to verify. Follow the same
steps, asking a question to which you know the answer is NO. Again, note
the movements and this should always be your 'no' answer. Follow
the same steps for a “maybe” answer. Your pendulum is now ready to work
for you.
BLESSING THE PENDULUM
Before
each session, the pendulum should be blessed from stating that only higher
beings, my guides, my angels (or whatever being you wish to contact) may
influence the pendulum, to smudging (burning incense) and other purification
techniques. The pendulum should also be purified after the session, to
remove any residue the spirit may have left behind which may influence the next
session.
BEFORE
EACH SESSION
Always
test the pendulum at the beginning of the session before asking your
questions. "Show me my yes" Should cause it to swing in one
direction; "Show me my No" should cause it to swing in a different
direction. It is also good to tell it to "Go to center" or
"Stop" between questions, so that the swing of the pendulum won't be
influenced by the last question's response. Once tested, ask the pendulum
if it wishes to work with you. Ask a few trial questions to make sure its
working properly. ("Is my name (your name)?" v.s. "Is my name
Superman?")
PROPER
USE
Possibly one of the greater benefits of using the
pendulum for divination is that it teaches us to frame questions in a clear and
precise manner - to analyze and simplify situations and desires.
As in all divination techniques, it is important that
questions be phrased clearly, so that no misinterpretation can be made.
"Is it going to rain?" is unclear. "Is it going to rain in
Los Angeles today?" is more apt to get a correct response. If you
are working on personal problems, like a buried trauma, first ask the pendulum
if it can find the problem. If the answer is yes, then structure your questions
to zero in on it.
If you ask a question and the pendulum doesn't
respond, rephrase the question or ask again at another time. Basically, this is
a tool to tap into your intuition, or alternatively, your spirit guide, to get
information. For this reason, it works best if you are asking questions about things
that are in your power to control, i.e. "Should I consider changing jobs
at this time?" or "Is so-and-so someone that I can trust?"
Asking "Will I meet my dream man/woman today" doesn't really work
because that is not something in your personal realm that you can control. And,
unfortunately, it can't give you this week's winning lottery numbers.
If,
after several questions, the pendulum starts swinging in random directions, ask
it if it wishes to discontinue the session. If yes, put the pendulum away
and try again another time.
Always treat your pendulum with
respect and show gratitude for the answers it has given.
