There are three ways of performing tarot card readings, by using the entire deck, by interpreting the Minor Arcana or the Major Arcana separately. The third variant is considered the most difficult and complex of all since it provides more in-depth meaning to the so-called divination process. The whole interpretation known as tarot readings consists in the ability to associate images, cards and symbols. While the explanation of certain cards is clear, other get most of the significance in combination with the others. Books and courses often fail to explain efficiently some of the more obscure cards in the Minor Arcana which can make tarot pretty difficult to perform.

Tarot readings also take their meaningful substance from numerology, and this is one aspect on which any first level apprentice should focus. Research a bit about the significance of numbers in tarot interpretations and get at least some rudimentary knowledge for the matter. Otherwise, details will remain hidden and the divination session will be incomplete. The next aspect that requires great attention for the success of tarot card readings is the emphasis on correct focusing. Keep in mind the fact that tarot does not give yes and no replies as it generally hints and gives clues rather than refers to facts.

The position of the cards in their connection mode with the reader proves very important; it is imperative that they all face you appropriately for good tarot card readings. Reversed cards have alternative explanations when they are placed incorrectly or lose part of their relevance. Furthermore, the decks should be chosen depending on the skills of the reader since at the beginner's level the illustrations have to make reading easier. The dragon decks are very popular for instance, but there are other sets that picture human occupations. Once the reader gets to a superior interpretive level, you may choose from other more attractive and complex designs.

Do tarot cards tell the truth? And yes, why and how? Although far from considering tarot readings in the realm of the supernatural, one cannot explain the working mechanism behind the divination processes in very easy terms. Sometimes the revelations you can get from the cards can puzzle you by truth in their essence, while some other times they can seem too foggy to make sense. Whichever be the actual explanation of tarot card readings, they definitely stimulate a psychic impulse in people.
