Sometime recently, I was watching tv and one of the actors was trying to decide between keeping something he had, or trying to get something a bit better. He said, "A bird in hand."

I would come home and write down what card I got and everyone that stuck out to me in that day. Even the stuff that didn’t really matter.

[@guarddog318]

For those that don't fully understand what is being advised here, it is that your readings should be more instinctive and intuitive, rather than a simple "text book" interpretation. This works very well with runes, pendulums, and any means or devise that requires the user to "speak" for them. No, you can't just make something up, based on your own imagination. You do need a basic knowledge of what the card, rune, or symbol is generally accepted to mean. However, how, exactly, those pieces fit together will vary from one person to the other, and one situation to another. And that's even if the same sequence comes up for different people.

@@chrisleearies484 research the Hebrew meaning of divination. Not exactly what you think. The real meaning and etymology of the word are obscure.

Let’s remember that the council put together by Constantine to piece the Bible together... were Romans... the same people responsible for murdering Yeshua. Romans put the Bible together to control the masses, not to teach true spiritual and divine connection. For example, If you are participating in communion, you are participating in a sacrificial blood ritual. All is not what it seems and truth is stranger than fiction. Judgment and fear come from the lower realms, and supporting that narrative, you are pushing a dark agenda.

[@setodd2098]

I think that's a good idea because each artist design a deck with different inspiration and meaning.

Plus what message are jumping out that day that the universe wants me to focus on? I believe it's important to lean into what my intuition in picking up on

Although the singer was found ‘safe and sound’ yesterday, she is clearly still struggling to cope and has taken to her social media account to share another emotional post. Sinead slams her children, 28-year-old Jake, 19-year-old Roisin, 11-year-old Shane, eight-year-old Yeshua, and their fathers - claiming that they have not been supportive of her. Writing to almost 598,000 Facebook followers, Sinead rants: “Jake, Roisin, Jr., frank, Donal, Eimear, I never wanna see you again. You stole my sons from me. “Then you had hypocrisy to come to hospital and then not be here when I wake and not pick up phone? I’m sh*t to you. You’re dead to me. You killed your mother.

Beautiful video. Thank you for the advice and th experience. I also once watched a KZbin class about Tarot (in Germany language). It was a bit similar to what you mention here. The lady in the video recommended instead of learning the cards - take the major arcana and just take a look at each card - write down which details you see and what you associate with the card and the symbols in it. In the next step you are called to check which cards of the majors you already experienced in your life - as it is the fools journey. Next step is to take a journey with each card - that means really meditate with the card. For example go into the Fool card - meet him where he is, visualizing you are in the card with him. Walk with him. Ask him who he is and what he has to say. So journey with each card. This honestly helped me a lot to get a better understanding of the cards and the archetypal symbols in it.

This is lovely 😊 I’ve been interested in the tarot for many years, I know I’m intuitive and I own many different types of tarot , but I’ve never learnt the meanings , and I’ve heard other readers say that they’ve not learnt but instead they use their own intuitive meanings, so with your lovely video “ soft voice “ I’m going to try , as yet I’ve not really tried at all . Thankyou xxx

Hey! How is it going?

[@misskriss848]

Yes, how's it going?

[@urabundant]

Sir I found you with my intuitive mind! I am receiving my new deck today! I am one with abilities and do not approve of labels. I have worked 12 years on dedication to my gift & here you are! Blessings!!!! I'm excited!

[@rosered6]

I loved, loved, loved this video! What you said regarding unique interpretation is so true, especially when using decks outside of the Rider Waite design and symbolism, thnak you!

[@DeShaune21]

You know you and Luna kinda look a like in the last shot! Keep it up Cliff! Love your videos!❤

[@mannifester8889]

totally agree with you. When I first wanted to learn there were so many meanings for cards I just didnt think all of them could be right. Now I use symbology and numerology of the cards to divine what each mean and as you say my readings are accurate and I put that down to learning by not learning the meanings 🙏🙏

[@jhernandez335xi]

I'm a beginner... I love this. Too many young people trying to teach Tarot while promoting their businesses for bs boxes... I needed this so much. Subscribing!

[@athena7071]

This is an outstanding video covering such a subtle nuance of the process of learning tarot, wow !! Thank you SO much John !

[@KavinNivin-jw4sw]

I find it surprising that more people aren’t discussing the Hidden Tarot Teachings on Shirlest. The information is so detailed and rich that even as a beginner, I felt like I was gaining a serious edge. If you're into tarot, you can't miss this!

Great to see you are back! Also with great audio and video quality, thanks for that too, it adds to the pleasure of hearing your thoughts.

[@chrisleearies484]

When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you

[@dreamydailine]

@@chrisleearies484 May your God bless...! May they lead you to a better path... A more open-minded one at least... 1stly you're clearly uneducated on this topic fom what I am seeing. You're basing things from what you are told or taught to immediately think of instead of doing actual research about the topic. You're basing things from uneducated people that are teaching others. But secondly? It's ironic, really. You say to not imitate the detestable ways of the nations, and yet that's what you're doing. The entanglement with the ways of seemingly immediate judgement is understandable, as it's passed down generation by generation. Seeing you're entangled with misunderstandings you may not correct, I'll forgive you on that. You shouldn't judge by the book's cover or what other people say, but instead understand the book you're looking at and read it. I don't need to quote the Bible on these things, but if you wanted I can give you a good session within this comment section. I mean, respecting others beliefs and understanding them, isn't that what God wanted us to do? Loving and understanding each and every living being, and letting them do what they want as long they won't harm others? Those actions you speak of with witches... I'm not a college teacher so I won't dive too deep into that, but think of it this way: You know now that God hates the fact that we would wish bad upon others and kill others for the sake of their own gain. They wanted that specific part practice gone, it wasn't part of it in anyway as it just some added words by the devil that they others fell for. And it's more or less gone, so what's there more to correct? God doesn't need compliments to see if someone is a good person. They'll send the good people to heaven, not the ones who try to add the sugarcoating to the one they're following/praising. Thank you for your time I suppose. Or not. I wouldn't know.

[@merylehawkins464]

Thank goodness you are back, I have missed your videos. I am still working with the cards but finding it difficult to get the understanding to read for others. I suppose it comes with time. I love the old house music as well and play it very loud on my car stereo. Thank you for the video and I look forward to more

[@johnballantrae001]

Dear Meryle: Tomorrow's video - May 1st: How to do readings for others - is for you. I mean, this is my reply to your comment. Let me know what you think.

[@merylehawkins464]

Hi john, gosh, thank you for this. What a lovely response, I really appreciate it and I am sure others will benefit greatly as well.

[@fn-2187bb8]

Oh my goodness. What an "a-ha" moment. Thank you for sharing your insight and wisdom! The tarot reader's personal experiences & memories = the connection point of the relevant symbolic data; and, as other commenters have pointed out, trusting that you, as the reader, are therefore the right person for the task, at precisely the right moment. Brilliant!

[@wendyhealey3156]

Thank you John :) I only discovered you about 2 months or so ago... You have such a gentle beautiful aura about you.... I really appreciate the time and energy you put into helping and leading people into a broader point of view of their own perceptions... you're so cute :) in a granddad kinda way... :) I've learnt so much from you !

[@NighthawkX02]

Well, I've never believed in tarot readings, but this man makes me want to get one from him

[@Evalutiontarot]

i consider songs being mentioned (in video or conversation) to sometimes be messages to me from spirit. (by analyzing the words or song itself i find meaning.) this is the second time watching a tarot related video the song "nothing compares to you" live version was mentioned to me. this is a definite message. btw this is beautiful insight. i read tarot, and i initially learned without a guide book , just going off of meanings i get personally from the cards. i find the messages i get are accurate, and sometimes they match up with the guide books! but by trying to be too rigid to the meaning of the card can block an intuitive hint or message that would be very helpful.

[@sacha2040]

Prince wrote nothing compares to you and he later recorded it. His is even better than the singer he spoke about.

[@AmyOnly84]

Thank you so much, you just made me realize something that I am doing and why I'm speaking but not being heard. Truly appreciate it.

[@astralvenus]

I want your iTunes playlist to all the cards and your KZbin music playlist to the cards too! That totally makes sense 🤗

[@noomra]

Wow, that's a good point, maybe developing our own playlist, similar to our own definition(understanding) of the card's reading. In my case, I guess it will affect the music that I make - I'm new to tarot, just ordered my first deck, I'm super excited! Maybe I'll discover that some of the songs I already did resonate indeed with certain cards. So far I've only analyzed their astrological correlations...

[@h222ley]
