I like the tarot. I’m not an expert, but I sometimes use them to read for clients and to find answers for myself.
To read the tarot well, I believe it’s a combination of using your intuitive sense, understanding the intention of each tarot card and connecting energetically with their client.
In short, TAROT is an art form.
It seems the earliest references to tarot date to the 1440s and 1450s. This is contrary to the general assumption that the tarot are thousands of years old.
The tarot started as a card game. Tarot cards used the standard Italian four face cards—king, queen, knight, and knave—for a total of 56 cards. The fool card was a wild card and there were 21 trump cards.
Tarot is a game of trick taking.
Even though there are many, mostly minor variations to the rules of the game, it hasn’t changed much since the 15th century.
It’s interesting to note that the tarot only became a tool of psychics, fortune tellers and the occult in the 19th century. The current day tarot has nothing to do with the medieval tarot cards.
So, I’ve created this series of short meditations based on the meanings of the Major Arcana as a creative way to share their significance. I’ve set them to music too. I hope you enjoy them.
TRANSCRIPT OF THE MEDITATION ON THE EMPEROR CARD
The Emperor card.
The Emperor card represents the highest form of leadership, a most exemplary and powerful man.
He’s an archetypal ruler, and is responsible for the affairs of society and community, which is directly proportional to his own well being and happiness.
And universal perspective this force brings, the better off life is. The emperor is a master of the world of matter and physical manifestation.
It’s time to acknowledge your potential for mastery. Reinforce a sense of sovereignty within yourself.
Know that you are bigger than your physical limitations.
Do not be tempted to behave like a petty tyrant. The emperor is not to be flattered or indulged in, as this is a risk. to losing respect from those around him.
Now is not the time for arrogance. The emperor is a servant of the people, a benevolent leader.
This is a time to get in touch with your inner sovereignty, your individual freedom, and a sense of natural self possession.
