How to Read Tarot
For centuries, practitioners of many disciplines have used the Tarot for divination, in ritual, and as a spiritual tool. Samhain is an especially powerful and influential time to do readings of any sort. Tarot cards are a tool for gaining insight into the mind, in cases where normal introspection is blocked by repression and self-censorship mechanisms. The advantage of using Tarot cards versus other divination methods is that Tarot cards provide a better map of the human condition than these other tools. By helping us gain insight through a map of images and meanings, we gain more insight and intuition to help us divine the inner meaning. Images and spreads on this page COPYRIGHT Il Scarabo |

We recommend for use with this spread Medieval Scapini - I cannot praise highly enough the art on this deck. Travel back to the grandeur of 15th century Italy through the art of this tarot deck. The Middle Ages are recreated through symbols, costumes, and settings against gold backgrounds. A very medieval/gothic feel with darker colours and gold highlights, this is truly a work of art. Slightly longer than most decks, this is well worth the price and both my partner and myself have bought this deck for ourselves, so taken are we both with the design. £23/$38 |
