welcome to my spooky scary tarot thread
if you don't want to learn the fascinating history of tarot go to the second post i guess
A short explanation on cartomancy

cartomancy, or divination via cards, dates back to medieval era: specifically, the creation of the printing press. when the printing press was created, the common folk were able to have card decks, which were previously pretty much nobles-only considering each card for each deck had to be hand made.
so the tarot deck was originally a game played in pubs to gamble--think medieval poker.
then some fortunetellers came along and were like "guys holy crap we could use this!" and thus tarot was created.


the first tarot deck was the tarot of marseilles, which included two sets to each deck: the Major Arcana, which were numbered 0-22 and had card art depicting what became known as "The Fool's Journey" (not important). The rest of the cards were what you see in a regular card deck today, called the Minor Arcana with the suites being wands, cups, swords, and pentacles. each card was assigned a meaning, although they had no card art, merely "pips"--think, again, playing cards. 


tarot for a longlonglonglong time was pretty unknown except for small circles because a) the cards were ugly, b) there was no set meanings, and c) no one really knew it even existed. then these guys commissioned an artist in the early 1900s, Pamala Colman-Smith, to draw a set of 78 fully illustrated cards, which would later become known as The Rider-Waite Tarot. they never paid Colman-Smith, and she died homeless and poor in the gutter, so I call it The Colman-Smith Tarot.

Fast forward several decades, and here we are, with hundreds of different tarot decks in all styles and interpretations available for intrepid diviners. 

With that long as hell history done, let's get down to business.

okay so here's what tarot cards do:

answer questions you have, or give advice
technically tell the future but i dont like doing that so nah

what tarot cards dont do:

commune with satan
invite spooky spirits into your house to possess you like every other horror movie
literally anything any religion says about tarot is wrong

how tarot cards work:
tap into the subconscious to give an answer to what you already know

how tarot cards dont work:

signing a soul with satan
asking demons what color ur crush's panties are or whatever
anything any religion told you

What I can do for you

I'm doing tarot reading commissions. Pay what you feel they're worth. For a list of tarot decks I own, tle="" target="_blank" style="line-height: 1.25;">check this thread out.

imagewhere you come inimage

Pick a deck that calls to you from the link above and post what you want to know. It can be any question at all, with two exceptions.

it cannot be a yes or no question, and it cannot focus on another person. 
examples:

"Will I get the job I want?" is not allowed.
"How can I increase my chances to get the job I want?" is allowed.

"Is my partner cheating on me?" is not allowed.
"I need to talk to my partner about something important; how can I best approach it?" is allowed.

this is a for-tips service. Pay what you feel the reading was worth, there's no set price.

I will send a private Rmail with the cards I drew pictured and my interpretation of how they're relevant to you.

have fun! ^-^

ps: if you're struggling to think of a question, a simple "What advice do I need right now?" is always an option. :B

May I please get a reading with the Shadowscapes desk Russ? :> I'd like to know how I can encourage my own self-growth, and figure out who I am and my identity, because I feel a bit lost at the moment?
