Category: Let's talk
If you guys have a deck, how have you made them accessible so you're able to read them? I intend on getting one at a store I found here in my hometown, (I don't give two shits about whether or not my dad approves of them), and I'd like to know if anyone on this site has read anyone's future through those before.
Just as an example, a few years back at a summer camp I attended, a friend of mine, (who shall remain anonymous), did a reading for me and found out I'd have to go through failure at some point in the near future, though she could not tell me when. During my junior year of high school, I failed my second semester English class. Does that tell you anything about these cards? *smile*
A year ago, someone read to me and most of what that person told me were positive things. She said a few things that were negative, but its all general. I know about those already. I think people have different views about tarot card reading and all sorts of fortune telling, but I don’t believe in those. I don’t want to know my future. I love surprises, so whether good or bad, I would rather figure it out or experience it with out knowing that it will happen. Life is full of surprises and I would rather keep it that way. I don’t want to know what’s going to happen. Yes, hints are good because it could guide you all the way, but it can also influence the way you act. Its better if you just let things happen naturally without looking at it in advance.
I have the Rider-Wait Tarot in Braille.
I was going to give you the website where I got them, but they don't have them there anymore or at least not right now.
i'd love to try tarat cards, i'd like to know those "hints" so i could prepare myself once in a while lol
Once you get your cards, you can go here:

Thank you. Now, to persuade my dad to let me get them ...
what are tarit cards?
Taret cards are cards with words/pictures or both on them that people use for giving ridings to people. Joanne, did Dad let you get the taret cards?
No. Gur'r'r'r'r!
Did you ask your mum or won't she let you either? I would just get them anyway LOL.
You know, that sounds like a pretty damn good idea. just get them anyway.
how much are these things
Runes are slightly more accessible; you can at least feel the symbols on some sets.
Sorry, I have no experience with cards, but you could always use a regular deck of cards and braille them yourself.
I'm looking for braille tarot cards and am getting very frustrated, since I can't find them anywhere! I'm considering either making my own or studying cartomancy, which uses regular playing cards. I've had many experiences with them, through readings that were done for me and all of them only proved their accuracy as a divination tool. That said, I've never considered runes. I'll have to investigate them, since they're somewhat accessible. If I make my own deck, should I use my print Rider Deck, get a blank one or just use index cards. What I mean is, does the imagery matter when the reader is totally blind?
A friend of mine goes everywhere with her deck of Tarot cards. She gives readings to whoever asks for them, or if she likes you she'll be curious enough to red your future.
it's hillarious, though, how most people think it's scary or weird. I think it's fascinating, but she's gbeen scoffed at so many times for doing those kinds of things. She does tarot and palm reading, and she's a Junior in high school with me.
I'd like to read more on the subject before I look for an accessible set.
I'll see what I can do about finding information. I want to see if I'm gifted with the talent of being able to properly interpret the cards. If so, then I want to do it as a career. But I'll only charge if I feel that I've done an honest reading, that is, one where I don't doubt what's in front of me. I would never want to take advantage of anyone if I wasn't sure of something.
I beliebe in them...if anyone do them, please contact me on here because I want another one done. I haven't done it since February of this year.
Would it be advisable for me to either get a blank deck and braille out the symbols on it or to get a pack of index cards and create my own tarot with those? In other words, would the lack of imagery cause a problem with it's effectiveness, particularly since I can't see the pictures? This may be a much cheaper alternative for practise at any rate.
I have the Rider-Wait deck already in braille, so I'm probably not the best one to answer that question. I'd say probably brailling on a print tarott deck would be the bast way to go. I don't know, it just might give more focus to it, and it might make others more comfortable if they could see the symbols. As for me and my reading ability, I've only looked through my deck once or twice. Listened to the cassette that went with it, and felt like it was not presented well, or maybe it was just too much to take in at once. It was suggested to me that I make my own set of runes, but since I doubt my artistic ability and I know they have to be exact, I don't really like that idea. I've never even seen a set, although I'd like to. Can anyone recommend an accessible set? One where I can feel the symbols without having to paint them, make them out of clay Etc?
Hi everyone,
I'm a certified professional tarot reader through the tarot certification board of america.
I also went as far as to do the voyager tarot certification course and at the time I did it, it was a set of I forget how many audio CDs. I had someone help me braille a print deck of the voyager tarot.
It was by james Wanless.
See:
www.voyagertarot.com
As far as what the tarot is:
My personal view point on them is a tool to help with seeing how a person can get from point A to point B, where that would be would depend on the client/person being read, etc.
The tarot is actually a tool for helping those gain clarity about their life, but not really for fortune-telling (although some readers will still do this) even though that was several centuries ago, lol!
I in my style of doing things prefer to use the tarot for exploration as that is the way I was taught.
The voyager tarot is not the same as traditional tarot, it is to say that the voyager tarot has some of the cards renamed for example: swords are crystals now - they still reflect the same element though!
As far as symbology:
It's best to have an accessible book that you can scan using assistive technology to help you to memorise the symbology of the card. I can see them in my mind's eye.
I'm an intuitive psychic though, I don't get other info unless it comes to me!
I've been reading tarot cards for about 9 years so far, but using the voyager tarot for four of those 9 years. I have other decks though but the voyager is my favorite hands down!
I don't know if James has the audio voyager tarot course he had before though.
BTW, the school I took classes from on the voyager tarot I believe is called the wanless tarot institute.
Anyway that's my take on the tarot for now!
If you have further questions don't hesitate to PM me on here!
If your a professional future reader,or intuitive psychic, whatever term you choose to slap on it, why haven't you accepted the challenge put out by james randy yet? If you can do it naturally, it should be easy, and if you don't want the money, I'd be happy to take it off your hands.
Speaking of which, why haven't you won the lottery yet?
forget I said anything.
For those who are willing to listen, to the abuv post then that is fine.
For those who think it's insightful, great!
here here! silver! I am commited to studying real psychology and philosophy. I am a real student of science and don't much like this pop pseudo science which is so general it's funny, you'll fail. Oh yeah, thanks for telling me the obvious, of course people fail in life once in a while, or that I'll get married well isn't that so general that it is 50 50 in terms of chance? what general answers will you get? look at horroscopes and how incredibly broad you get with your results. great thanks now with this great psychological mind shattering broad thing you just told me, what am I suppose to do with it? and where is the science to back up your claims?
For people who are fooled in believing in this falsity and foolishness, I am sorry they dragged you in their mess. there's some issues with such a unprecise art and science, which makes it not credible. There is virtually no proof for most of the claims and some of their claims are seemingly true because it is so general and it is bound to happen to people at some point such as misfortune, failures, periods of depression, and so forth. It's not news it's called what happens in life. . There is no simple answers to life and there's no fast way to get rid of a problem. Pop psychology will not help you to achieve these goals to make life better, because most of the time it makes life harder to live. besides, think about it this way, you're spending your money wasting your time letting these people tell you who you are? Not only do they tell you who you are but it's all general, how is this suppose to help you? how did it help you? It might gave you guidelines to wait for misfortune and failure as the first poster. said but that happens in life as events in life.It happens to everyone! It might effect your thinking even false words about you and your future sets this negative mind set and then it becomes actuality, as you're expecting tragedy. Now, how helthy is that? It sometimes even causes you more pain and trouble, this sort of false junk science this pseudo psychology never helps anyone. It harms them. It even makes the people who examine real science look like real idiots!
For those who practice this falsity you call mind reading the shameful pseudo science you practice. prove it to me, and show me how great and scientific this is with good proof and I'll believe you, but until then you're doing us real psychologists a real disgrace by promoting such falsities and making our work look like phoney crap just like your own. As a student of real science and a psychology student who is really interested in helping others I am very unhappy with this promotion of junk science that is so popular. You can take your junk to the bins over there and have a field day. Just please stop making the rest of us genuinely interested in helping people and wanting to understand things that really go on in the mind with real scientific knowledge along with the hardcore facts and figures look bad.
well said to the last two posters. I think this is utter bullshit, too.
I'll help out the poster though. You don't need to make an accessible version of anything. Here's what you do to make an absolutely accurate prediction, no cards necessary.
First, make a claim, I'll use you will fail as an example. So you claim with ghusto, "You will fail!". then, take it back, "but you will also succeed, the failure will not be the end of your trying". Well duh, everyone will fail at something, and they're probably going to try it again, and will probably get it right eventually, this isn't a prediction of anything.
Read the horoscopes in the newspaper and watch how they will claim one thing, then take it back in an offhanded way. "you will have five children, unless you don't find the right woman". So either you will have five children, and they were correct, or you won't and you just didn't find the right woman. Either way, the person who made the prediction is totally correct.
See, no cards involved, and its totally accessible. Your welcome.
I'll stick with squeezing the goat's testicles to predict my future. Haha.
well, I think that science has a long way to go still as far as believing in the unknown and seeing the physical world with more of a metaphysical view. By this I mean - we are seeing how quantum physics is changing the way we see our universe for example. It's a great example how classic theories of neutonian physics is being challenged to the core, though in some case I think also complimented by quantum physics ideas.
With that said, I think people view so called predections as though they are "meant" to happen. If we take words of quantum theory, there are simply many many timelines out there, and each of them has a certain probability or potential. When one reads cards or a horoscope, they are simply getting one set of potentials. Does this mean that they are fake or false? absolutely not, because the goal is to see the "most probable" potential. As far as astrology is concerned, I believe it contains too much generic content. If you were to calculate it each day based on a person's actual birth day and time (to be more exact) you might get less broad, more meaningful insight from them.
There will a come day when Science will understand that the mind and the brain are 2 separate thing, one stemming from a physical aspect and other having a more, quantum and spiritual aspect. The brain is the one which influences the reality the mind sees, but the mind is what influences the brain to see the realities it wishes to see. All this of course at this momen is very new science, so I think it will take a few more years or even decades for any major changes to occur. The goal here is def. not to start a debate, but to simply express that science has a noble goal, but many scientists have distorted that goal by keeping a closed and a locked mind. Those that push inovation within the community are the ones who make extreme conjectures and go through with observing/gathering/testing data as much as they can. Problem is, once again, as discovered in quantum theories and the observer effect, the way a scientist approaches his or her conjecture and it's results can greatly influence the said result. Skeptics will point to the question of "if this were so, it would mean that if I believed that when I drop an object it shouldn't fall it won't! But it does, and I can prove this scientifically!". You are correct. The problem is that there are concepts in our reality which everyone has been collectively "hardwired" to believe that they cannot change easily. It would take the entire world to alter their mindset about that object not falling for it to not fall, and they would have to truly believe it. It's all in the power of thought.
So. To get back on topic. Are readings accurate? That depends on how generic you make them, the more data you collect the more accurate they'll be. Can the perseptions of the person who is getting a reading influence the reading's results? Absolutely! Since it's just a way to see a timeline. If a person has no belief in their reading, chances are that they will get exactly that - a reading which is distorted because the narrow-mindedness of the person effected the result.
But, quantum physics and quantum mechanics are still sciences, not all wrapped up in belief. One cannot mix the two: tarot cards with the parallel universe theory or quantum mechanics, or subatomic particles / subatomic universes. Even though not all aspects have precise measurements yet, they are all based on sound principles which can be measured: something religions of all sorts and in particular predictors of futures based on reading things, do not have.
Quantum mechanics helps with the understanding we are gaining for technologies like racetrack memory and nanocomputing. When was the last time a pack of cards built anything? Created anything? We have psychics who allege they knew a plane was going to crash (after the fact), but where are psychics' contributions to the science of aviation to help avoid plane crashes?
Prophets claim to predict earthquakes, geophysical events, etc. (again usually after the fact), but where is their contribution to geoengineering, structural engineering, and other useful things which result in the practical saving of human life? I thought not.
So, in a practical world they aren't of any practical use, and they have as much to do with science as thinking positive has to do wiht getting your broken let set and splinted properly.
Sorry to have to break this to you, but the brain creates the mind through chemistry. There are no spirits, ghosts, angels, devils. Notta. Zilch.
Then, how do you explain EVPs?? Most of thoughs recording are real. i have also heard and felt things. None of wich were scary.
If you mean electronic voice phenomenon, there are lots of naturalistic explanations for that. Stray radio signals, faulty recording equipment, the effects of noise reduction filters, and the greatest of all, wishful thinking.
Imp is right. EVP has been debunked for years. No one in their right mind would use that as evidence for anything.
Also crazycoolguy, If you're hearing think you might want to see a psychologist.
