Playing Card Divination and General Divination Discussion

[Horuseus]

What is your usual method?

I call upon my Guidance System/HS and request the probabilities are influenced to provide the desired reading in accordance with what is asked. Cards are shuffled lightly but I take care not to look at the cards themselves so as to prevent potential unconscious influence. I see the 'randomness' as highly symbolic of the multitudinous probable realities that can spring forth featuring all potential combination of cards, and so that which is actually brought through (observed) is directly funnelled to my tunnel of experience through the filter that is my gateway to intelligent infinity, ala the Higher Self.

The reading format varies (General/specific), though what I do is I first state the 'section' of the reading I am doing just prior to choosing the cards. So, I may state "the emotional state of the person" then pick any 2 cards that I intuit and place them face down. I then ask for another aspect, say, "the reality of the situation", or "guidance for the person". I do not operate using reversed cards, nor do I keep my deck in such a configuration, however there have been times where this has nevertheless occurred, so I take it as a sign and read it as is.

Once done I flip all the cards then simply string together the reading. Each of the cards evokes a certain picture or meaning within, and is also why I prefer the original Rider Waite illustrations for this. That isn't to say that I do not look for the archetypal descriptors for the arcana by others, as it comes in use and is incorporated. When the cards are read in context it isn't difficult to see a common thread emerging.
