I'm starting to think that intuition is deeply knowing something without feeling the need to explain it, or explaining it could ruin the spell. Like explaining why a joke is funny always ruins the joke. No comedy writer ever wrote a joke and said, "Now see this is funny because..." You kn...

Here's another thing that's of interest here - for any tarot reading, I guess, but also in this context: The "Cooperative Principle" of communication. It's referred to as "Grice's Maxims" (Grice was a linguist.) Maxim of quality Supermaxim Try to make your contribution one that i...

My position is that bad readers degrade tarot and that more than a fair share of bad readers embrace the intuitive mantle. Well, thanks for your rant. I knew you had important things to say. What you said, in my mind, underscores why it's a good idea to TRAIN intuition. Part of that is knowing that...

Count me in.

I haven't seen the TdM circle for April ... ?

Just a quick comment before I run off - I think it's worthwhile to read this article on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intuition

I'll DM you again.

I'm downsizing my collection. I have 277 decks right now and will be listing more over the next week. http://bit.ly/TarotSale I don't want to list them all here as it is just too many! :D Some of the more collectible are: Gatti II by Mengehello Yoga Tarot (sealed) Thoth Willam Black Tarot signed by...

It's hard to answer without having a better sense of what it means to read intuitively. As of late I've been hearing wildly different, often incompatible definitions. It reminds me of this thread Joan Marie recently started. I've been meaning to post in it, but it might be quite lengthy and I haven...

Hi - I'm interested in the Lowbrow Tarot and the Parrot Tarot. Will DM.

Interested in the Shining Woman tarot. Will PM.

I have a whole collection of Fools on Pinterest https://www.pinterest.ca/moritherapy/fool/

And my all-time favourite Fool is this, from World Spirit

My favourite-anywhere store for tarot cards is Edge Of The Circle in Seattle http://www.edgeofthecirclebooks.com/pics.htm. Has the best selection of tarot cards I've ever seen in a store. Here in Vancouver, most people go to Banyen Books but I actually find that Dragonspace has a better, more intere...

I think that the general outlines of this reading are quite strong and accurate. IIUC, for strength, you postulate some combination of the environment and/or an ineffable characteristic of mine. For weakness, the blues. You also talk about a poor combination. I wasn't quite sure what you were refer...

Really interested in everybody's thoughts on this. I absolutely do think that intuition can (should?) be trained. Just like a creative person (painter, writer, etc.) cannot rely on the muse or talent alone, a tarot reader can't completely rely on their innate intuition. The first video was a bit di...

UPDATE: I have disabled "quick reply." So now you just click "post reply" as normal and have all the posting features available automatically. Great idea. The quick reply one was sorta pointless, IMHO. And I wonder whether this is a real selling feature - I don't know many forum...

Hi Jaq, I think I'd like to take a page out of Sunday's Vernal Equinox spread and ask you "What are the bonds I have to break to be free? " Thanks. I chose the Karma Tarot. Strength: The first colour is see is dark brown, especially the dark brown behind the woman’s head and shoulders. Sh...

That's great! I was hoping for something like that.

Hi, jaq, I used the Druid Craft Tarot and this was the format of your reading: I used three sections. The top section that starts with the reversed Lovers is the signifier section. The card on the left, reversed Lovers, is you. The card on the right, the Ten of Swords, is the signifier representing...

I have to apologize. I just saw the more detailed instructions for the format to follow, and I don't know how I missed them. I will update your reading by the deadline. I am so sorry. Please don't worry, no need to do a second reading - especially since I've already read your reading, so - it's don...

K, got it.

Thanks jaq for reminding focus on the intuitive as the keypoint of this reading. I had input the intuitive points when i first seen the cards and the readings in more intuitive ways than theoritical ways, may not be that great, but hopefully can enhance on monthly reading circle basis. Actually, th...

So .... I notice you guys didn't use the approach that was suggested ... ?
