Eight of Swords

Your currently in a place where you think you have no control over life. You’re negative thoughts making you feel trapped when in fact, you can change your world. You just need to take off that blindfold to see that there are choices and different directions to take. It’s all in your mind and how you think.

Release old ways of thinking and unhealthy habits that are no longer serving you. It’s no easy but taking small actions everyday can build up after a long time to make a difference.

Get out of your head and start taking small steps towards the life you want.

Let me introduce myself :) My name’s Zephyros (like the greek god Ζέφυρος, I prefer using a fun nickname instead of my real name🙂) and I’m from Italy. I’m very interested in learning tarot, astrology and traditions from around the world. I also like psychology and languages, maybe I’ll do some post about languages I’m learning, mainly Latin and Ancient Greek. I also want to post here translation of Italian contents since I know a lot of people who want to learn more about Italian Witchcraft and traditions but don’t speak Italian and aren’t able to read good books that aren’t in English. I hope you will find my work interesting and useful. If you have any request of a subject you would like me to do a little research on you can message me, but I will decide depending on the topic so don’t assume every request will be done. One thing left to say: my work is not meant to replace your own research on the topics. Although I hope mine will answer some questions, I can’t provide all of the information on the subject so consider this blog a starting point to start or integrate the information here with your own (I’ll make sure to provide all the sources where the information are from so you can read from the primary source, that it’s always a good thing). I hope you will enjoy your stay here, bye :)

Faz um tempo que vi um exercício de tarot no YouTube que consistia em dividir o baralho em três grupos - Cartas da Corte, Arcanos Menores de 1 a 10 e Arcanos Maiores - e montar histórias a partir dessas cartas, como se as cartas da corte fossem os personagens, os arcanos menores as ações e os maiores, os temas e situações.

A partir disso, criei esta tiragem de três cartas que pode ser usada diariamente e para consultas objetivas sobre vários assuntos. Como no exercício, você deve começar dividindo o baralho nos três grupos que citei e então embaralhe cada montinho separadamente. Depois de embaralhar cada um e mentalizar sua situação ou pergunta, retire (da forma que achar melhor) uma carta de cada montinho com as seguintes posições:

1. Personalidade ou comportamento a focar nessa situação: Retire uma Carta da Corte e reflita sobre a personalidade e comportamento desse personagem e como ele pode te ajudar.

2. Ação a focar nessa situação: Retire um Arcano Menor de 1 (às) a 10. Essa carta mostrará que ações você deve focar e/ou realizar na situação questionada. Pense em como a personalidade da carta 1 pode ajudar (ou dificultar) essa ação.

3. Energia a focar nessa situação: Retire um Arcano Maior. Essa carta simboliza a energia maior por trás da situação, as influências e tendências. Pode ser também a lição maior que você precisa aprender. Pense em como essa carta caracteriza a relação entre as cartas 1 e 2.

Gosto deste método porque você usa uma carta de cada categoria de uma forma clara e objetiva. Claro que não existe a “tiragem perfeita”. Experimente-a com suas cartas e veja se ela é boa para você. O importante é seguir sua intuição sempre e ouvir o que as cartas lhe dizem.

I have read for people ALL OVER THE WORLD. Over the past 3 years, Ive read for over 500 different people. I take pride in my readings and I am filled with gratitude when I can help someone out in their journey. Two things you can do with this information. You can either book a reading from ME, or You can buy my Tarot Learning materials to help you learn how to read personally or professionally. The choice is yours!!

Getting to know my decks!

Through my years of studying different languages, I’ve found it is a lot easier to learn by association rather than rote memorization, so why would tarot be any different? It could be argued that tarot is its very own language…

I’ve had my ups and downs, breaks and reconnections, but now I am ready to commit. I’ve previously learned the basic functions of each Major Arcana, court card, suit and number, so it’s time to move past all that.

I’ve decided to use the decks I’ve accumulated over the years to compare and contrast what each meaning is to their specific deck and to me, using the Morgan-Greer as a “control” deck, if you will. It’s the closest deck to the original RW that I can tolerate, and I think having it as a baseline is a good idea when it comes to grasping the “traditional” tarot meanings.

So far, this exercise has been very eye opening. I hope it helps with long term memory storage and building up some of my intuitive thinking abilities.

Wish me luck!
