I used Tarot cards like a remote viewer👁️

Remote viewing is having a moment right now. If you have a deck of Tarot cards, you can play with some of the same principles without learning an entirely new system. 👁️

You don’t have to become a Las Vegas stage magician to learn a couple of really good card tricks.

Tarot is the same way (and I’m not implying it’s some kind of trick).

You don’t need to learn every traditional meaning, every ritual, every rule and adopt a belief system.

On the contrary, you can pick up a deck and use it for a few genuinely interesting experiments.

Picture this

Imagine someone hands you a sealed envelope.

They instruct you to not open it.

Tell them immediately what comes to mind:

• a color
• a shape
• a texture
• a feeling
• a word

Maybe your guess is nonsense, but you say it anyway.

Then you open the envelope and check.

Chances are you didn’t guess what was inside but maybe it made sense in some sort of way.

🗝️The key here is that you had to notice and speak your impressions BEFORE you conscious mind could jump in and muck it up.

Grab your deck and read on. I’ve got 2 ways you can put this into practice.

Blind reading or remote viewing the cards

Materials: 3 or more envelopes, paper to write on, pictures of objects or scenes (the less complex the easier to view), Tarot cards.

Version 1

1. Put pictures in 3 or more envelopes. One picture per envelope.
2. Pick an envelope, pull 1-3 Tarot cards at random, and write down your impressions.
3. Repeat with the remaining images.
4. Open the envelopes and reveal the images.

How did you do?

Version 2

This method is great if you have a question that you are very emotionally invested in. It eliminates the possibility that you are seeing what you want to see and gives you a more objective (albeit more difficult) read.

1. Write down 3 questions you genuinely want to know the answer to and put 1 question in each envelope.
2. Mix up the envelopes and number them.
3. Pick an envelope, pull 1-3 Tarot cards at random, and write down about 1/2 of a page of impressions.
   1. imagery from the card
   2. spontaneous memories
   3. emotions or bodily sensations
   4. words or phrases
   5. draw a few scribbles
4. Put the card and the notes in the envelope
5. Repeat for the remaining envelopes
6. Open the envelopes and see how your remote viewing matched up to the question.

Boomerang reading or love letters to your future self💞

1. Decide how many “notes” you want to send to your future self
2. Open your email and start a new message.
3. Pull a card. The first line of the email will be the card you pulled. You can include a picture if you like.
4. For the body of the email, write down a stream of consciousness set of impressions for maybe a minute and a half.
5. Sum up the message in a fortune cookie type statement. Make it a good one!
   1. it can be funny
   2. it can be a zen koan
   3. it can be a quick memory
   4. it can be a refrain, quote or saying
6. Give it a recognizable subject line like: message from your past self
7. Send it to yourself and then snooze it for a random date at least 2 weeks in the future.

These boomerang readings are really fun to receive in the midst of life and can be quite encouraging!
