Dreaming Way Tarot: Unlocking Your Intuition (Beginners Guide)

Well, let me tell you, this whole dreaming way tarot thing, it’s somethin’ else. I heard folks talkin’ ’bout it down at the general store the other day. Seems like a bunch of cards with pictures on ’em. They say these cards can tell you ’bout your life. I don’t know ’bout all that, but it sure sounds interestin’.

They say there’s these big cards, called the Major Arcana. Sounds fancy, don’t it? These are the big deals, the big moments in your life, I reckon. Like birthin’ a baby, or gettin’ hitched, or maybe even kickin’ the bucket. Big stuff, ya know?

• These Major Arcana, they got pictures of things like the sun, and the moon.
• Sometimes they show a man hangin’ upside down – I don’t like the sound of that one.
• Others have folks dancin’ and celebratin’, that’s more like it.

Then there’s the little cards, they call ’em the Minor Arcana. These are more like the everyday stuff. Like when you burn your biscuits in the oven, or when your neighbor’s dog gets loose again. Little things that happen all the time. There’s a whole bunch of these, more than the big ones.

• Cups, they talk about feelin’s, like love and bein’ sad.
• Swords, those are about fightin’ and arguin’, not my favorite.
• Wands, that’s like work and gettin’ things done.
• Coins, you guessed it, that’s all about money, or lack thereof.

Now, how do you use these tarot cards? Well, they say you gotta shuffle ’em up real good. Think about what you wanna know, like, “Will my rheumatism get better?” or “Will that handsome fella at church finally notice me?” Then you lay ’em out in a certain way. They call it a “spread”, like you’re spreadin’ butter on bread.

Each card in the spread means somethin’ different. It’s like a story, they say. You gotta look at the pictures and think real hard about what they mean. They said you can learn the meaning of the tarot cards from a book, if that makes it easier for you.

This whole dreaming way tarot reading, it ain’t about predictin’ the future, not really. It’s more like… lookin’ at things a different way. Like when you can’t figure out a problem, these cards might give you a new way to think about it. Some folks, they just don’t have the patience for it. They want answers right now, but that ain’t always how life works, is it? Sometimes you gotta sit and wait, like watchin’ a pot of water boil. It takes time.

Some people like to find the “perfect” deck, whatever that is. For me, pictures is pictures, but I suppose if one deck speaks to you more than another, then go for it. The most important thing is that you find a deck that is good for you, that is easy for you to read and understand the cards.

They say you gotta use your intuition, too. That’s like a gut feelin’. You know, when you just know somethin’ is gonna happen, even if you can’t explain why? That’s intuition. These cards, they can help you tap into that. Some folks say you can learn it fast, but I think it’s like anythin’ else – it takes practice. You can’t just pick up a needle and thread and expect to sew a quilt the first time, can you? No sir, you gotta practice. Same with this tarot stuff.

I seen some folks on the TV talkin’ about this tarot stuff. They make it sound so complicated. But I think it’s simpler than that. It’s just about payin’ attention, to the cards, to your feelings, to what’s goin’ on around you. Just like payin’ attention to the weather, or your garden, or your grandkids.

Now, I ain’t sayin’ I believe in all this dreaming way tarot stuff. But I ain’t sayin’ I don’t, either. It’s somethin’ to think about, somethin’ to ponder on. Maybe there’s somethin’ to it, maybe there ain’t. But it sure is interestin’, ain’t it?

I remember my grandma, she used to read tea leaves. Same kind of idea, I reckon. Lookin’ for signs, tryin’ to make sense of things. We all do that, in our own way. Whether it’s readin’ cards, or tea leaves, or the lines on your hand, or just starin’ up at the clouds. We’re all lookin’ for answers, ain’t we?

So, if you’re thinkin’ about tryin’ this dreaming way tarot, I say go for it. Just remember, it ain’t magic. It’s just another way of lookin’ at the world. And who knows, maybe it’ll help you see things a little clearer. Or maybe it won’t. But it might be fun to try, anyway.

Just don’t go spendin’ all your money on fancy cards and books. You can learn a lot just by lookin’ at the pictures and thinkin’ about what they mean to you. And listen to that little voice inside your head, that intuition. It might just have somethin’ important to tell you about your tarot reading.

And if all else fails, you can always just use the cards to play a game of Go Fish. That’s what I might do. At least then you know you’ll have some fun, one way or another. This dreaming way tarot seems like a lot of work, but who knows, maybe it is worth it, maybe it will teach you something. I’m still not sure.
