Tarot Keywords

Post by renjer » Tue Jul 06, 2010 1:52 pm

In my next stage of development to be a proficient tarot reader, I discovered a system of keywords that came from this website.

However, I don't really agree with some of the keywords they use, eg nines and The Hermit (The website uses the keyword "Be a Mentor). So, 9 of Swords: Be A Mentor to your Thoughts and Ideas? It just doesn't make sense. I know for sure that this one represents someone worrying too much until he/she can't sleep at night.

So, I'd like to actually start developing a system of tarot keywords that we can all use to facilitate our study of the cards. Or has anyone done so already? How about the inverse cards then?

***And then at least I don't have to look at the websites/LWB/books so often  :smt003 ***

I have learn with time, that when it comes to Tarot, I can't rely on others perception of the cards. If you read all the books in Tarot you will see that each author has its own meanings for each card. That meaning change also by card design or theme.

Because of people's perception, I decided to toss away the little white book that comes with the cards, when studying the Tarot.
As soon as I get a new deck of cards, I go card by card and make a 5 keywords for each card. I based those keywords in my first impression counting the colors, position and symbols. When you come to see, you become with your own set of keywords that chances are, they are not too far from the author's perception.

If you do this with at least 2 set of different decks, you will see that the keywords of 7 of Swords of one deck it can be different from the 7 of Swords of a totally different deck.

Tarot is a language that is for us to decipher or interpret, but that interpretation change base in our perception.

About reverse cards, you can do the same, finding the 5 keywords. I personally don't do reverse cards because I can give the positive and negative of a card by looking at it and base the advice base on the two sides of the card. Having a card in reverse tends to distract me from what I see, after all when having visions or dreams, we don't see the picture upside down but upright, the same should be with the cards, but that is my opinion. :)

If you really want to be proficient in Tarot, I suggest that you do the detective approach with each card. In which the card becomes the crime scene, the character is the suspect and then look all the evidence(clues/symbols) around the character. Everything you need to know about that card, is in the card already.. its up to you to find the clue :) Play with it by laying cards and finding the theme base on the evidence, you will see that it becomes an open book of possibilities :)
Love and Light Everyone!

Hi Renjer,

You can develop your own keywords, these will not necesarily correspond to those you fimd on MB. The Rider-Waite deck's words are used.

If you go to Tarot Topics, you will see my intepritation of the cards. I did these a very long time ago, and stick to it, no matter which deck I use.

My interitations include UPRIGHT and REVERSED and an "expansion".

Another author proposed the student Tarot reader to place a card down and then draw three cards. This is supposed to guide you, and shouldn't be seen as a rigid method to use.

Just get stuck in on your cards and do your own interpritation, one thing forsure, it would be hard tp forget, once it is "your property"

Blessed be.
Do as you want, Harm none!

Hi Renjer.

Follow this link:

http://mysticboard.org/vi ... hp?t=67787

There is also another link, where it's also posted, where you can actually ask questions and have a discussion. Tarot Topics is a Locked forum.

The other forum is Tarot discussions and ideas, follow this link if you want to make comments and have questions:

http://mysticboard.org/vi ... .php?f=123

I was out of action for some time. But, to me it is important to guide everyone as how the Tarot sticks or fit. This may be my opinion, but we all still learn.

I'm at the sevens now. What is interesting, is how cards are influenced and the way we should think of that which is in the existential.

Blessed be.

Hi learnthenumbers.

Admittedly Tarot has 78 cards, but you can not assign a different number as you have shown us.

Tarot encompasses "Archetypal, existential and cosmic", furthermore, the Major Arcanum has 22 numbers with 5 finals. Understanding this, you may know that the first ten cards are ruled by the first ten Major Arcanum cards. The other's which has not been assigned specific cards, are attached to seasons, elements, the zodiac and planets.

Follow these links and you will see how we assigned the cards.

I am truly thankfull for your participation, in fact some time ago, I saked for the "meanings" of the numbers in numerology, never got a reply. Now with your posting, I've got what I needed then already.

Thank you once again for your insights, we truly appreciate it, and really hope that we will see you on our board more frequent.

i have two books within my collection that make reference two the tarot and numerology in the same fashion as is posted by learnthenumbers  

numerology and the divine triangle ,by faith javane and dusty bunker

the numerology workbook ,understanding and using the power of numbers by julia line

Ok, I got the Attrabutions of the suit cards, but, according to Aliester Crowley, now this man, as all of us know, lived on a very far or distant planet in his own Universe! Nevertheless, he has been quoted many times and in fact, things he said and do, to ordinary people “spooky” but we may agree, we are not ordinary people!!!! Especially me, I’m Payewacker from the Planet Ur-anus.

aliester crowley  a wicked ... a mad man... powerful...  highly intelligent .... who prayed mostly on the  weak and innocent
