You Are Out of Order

 

For years, I have practiced tarot.  Then, to my surprise, I discovered that most of us are in fact ‘Out of Order’.  Yes, it is a fact.  When I stumbled upon the proper order of Tarot, my mind became insatiable, and I know yours will too.  Through all of the research and utilizing of this magnificent divination tool, it seemed that something was missing, and that there was more to Tarot than was immediately apparent.  Pause, for a minute, and consider this.  If something isn’t put together correctly, how can you use it to its full effect?  You can’t.  Have you EVER read Tarot and wondered why it doesn’t always answer your question like you think it should, and only serves to confuse you more? Well, now, I am going to introduce you to some very valuable information.  If your Tarot cards are out of order, your reading will be too.  In addition, if you don’t understand your cards, then how can you interpret what they are trying to tell you? 

Did you know that Tarot, has the ability to spell out an answer?  Or, that each card corresponds with either a planet or an astrological sign?  Three of the cards, in fact, correspond directly to a specific element and they epitomize that element.  Each of the cards also has a number, and it’s corresponding number isn’t necessarily the one shown on the card itself.  Also, specific groupings of cards correspond to different aspects, and circumstances, of life (the fool’s journey).  As you can now, clearly imagine, the tarot is more complex than most diviners realize.  

To keep things simple, for now, I am only going to focus on information about each of the 22 Major Arcana.  And, instead of going into long, drawn out meanings that will only serve to confuse you – and you know what I mean if you’ve ever read a book about the practice of Tarot- I am going to be very specific, blunt, and to the point. 

I will list the cards in their proper order.  When you ‘reset’, or ‘re-order’, the cards – as you should already do with each new reading – make absolutely sure that they are arranged in correspondence to the following information, and not chronologically arranged by the number on each card.  This serves to reset their energy, and allow it to flow in a direct line of energy, rather than a scattered one. 

As I have discussed, the numbers on the cards are out of order.  An example of this would be the fact that no one can come to a consensus on whether ‘Justice’ should be card ‘11’ or card ‘8’, or whether ‘Strength’ should be card ‘11’ or card ‘8’.  The fact is, there will never be a consensus, because neither of the two cards is ‘11’ or ‘8’, so it doesn’t matter!  In order to understand where each card actually belongs, we have to dive head first into the Hebrew language and utilize its many secrets.....

The Oak Tree

 

“Is, Didi Sams, there?”

“Yes, sir, may I ask who is calling?”

“Just tell her that Forest is calling, and that it’s an emergency?”

“Yes, sir, hold please.”

 

“My God, what is taking so damn long?”  I thought to myself, as I paced back and forth across the hardwood floor.  My hands where trembling so much that I could barely hold onto the phone, and my mind was racing to the point that I felt like a mad man.

 

“Hello, who are you holding for?” This time it was another voice on the other end of the phone.

“For the third time, I am holding for Didi.”  I replied in a frustrated tone.

“Well, this is she, can I help you sir?”

“Thank God!  Didi, it’s Forest.”

Silence fell on the opposite end of the phone...
