The Difference Between Tarot and Art (Photo: ShutterStock)

The world has completely changed in the last decade - and so has the world of tarot.

If someone wants to learn tarot there are lots of resources out there: books, videos, various experts, thousands of schools, online teachers, offline teachers, and some even just buy a package and start working from scratch - with intuition.

So what's the problem?

Why is it impossible to just watch a two-hour YouTube video that has all the commentaries, and start giving readings and advice?

To answer this we need to stop for a moment and think - what makes the art of reading tarot that can accompany us for years, help us provide solutions and reflection for ourselves and others - and enable the development of a lasting and reliable relationship with tarot?

A.

The teacher

There is something in the teacher, in every field, that gives us confidence, certainty and connection - and shapes our perception.

We all remember how we hated math because of one teacher and suddenly fell in love with the profession because of another teacher.

The tarot was always passed from teacher to student.

When learning tarot, the teacher is the "father (or mother)" of the cards, and he helps us to apply the tarot messages in our personal lives correctly and stably.

Sometimes we see a teacher as a mentor as well.

When we are looking for a teacher, whether on YouTube, Facebook or a face-to-face real-life course, we need to feel within ourselves a sense of "click" of "this is it", that we have a connection to knowledge, content and teaching style.

In addition, and this is really important: we must make sure that this teacher promotes correct and ethical values.

That he believes in an approach in which the borrower (the customer) has control and power in his life.

Although the teacher guides, transmits the knowledge and teaches, the questioner is the center of interest and the one with the power.

The teacher never imposes his position, but always offers the interpretation to the questioner and checks where the message of the cards meets him.

First you can always search the internet, ask friends and check what "out there" approaches are.

You can and should read articles written by teachers or look for lively YouTube channels where you can get information.

There are a variety of books and sites full of knowledge.

However one should keep in mind that the existing knowledge in the network is limited and a tool like Tarot gets life in the real world.

If you choose a course, a frontal teacher or a learning group, you can sometimes get a lot more - and the tool "comes to life".

In-depth learning, touching on every issue extensively, answering questions and significant development.

However, even if we choose a teacher from the Internet, or stick to a website or book - it is very important to persevere with one approach and method until it is well mastered.

It should be remembered that the teacher does not operate in a vacuum.

He relies on something.

B.

The tradition

Tradition is the source of the teacher's initial knowledge.

When our method relies on tradition, it acquires cumulative value.

There are a lot of tarot traditions, it's true, but what they have in common is the fact that they are ancient and ancient, that they have been here for decades or centuries - passed from teacher to student.

Thus we are sure that the method was based on the experience of hundreds and thousands of readers and was built over time.

When we examine tradition we want to test whether our teacher relied on knowledge from another teacher or whether he invented the method from scratch.

The way to test this is to look at the "bread crumbs" that the teacher leaves over the years.

An established tradition leaves deep evidence: a lot of students who use it, a book that has clear connections and sometimes even trusted Facebook groups or sites that present clear and systematic material.

A Google search can help and reveal a lot: who is more mentioned, by whom did the readers who are in the first places study.

Dr. Yoav Ben Dov, his memory for blessing, for example, draws on Khodorovsky's tradition and left behind students who are teachers themselves.

third.

Community

The thing that is created from the connection between

and

is

.

A community of learners who continue to support each other, give back, new reading angles, support for interpretations, mutual learning, emotional support and joy.

The community produces continuity and paves the way, and so thanks to the community, tradition and teacher alike a

is created (yes, it's another little secret).

The skill cannot come from knowledge alone.

Definately not.

The skill is a strength we gain from the repeated use of the tools we have been given - from the support of the teacher, from the presence of the community and from relying on tradition.

That is why we must always practice the method, strengthen the foundations, encounter a lot of different cases, try and make mistakes and also get feedback from a mixed community.

Look for large and cohesive communities, Facebook groups or forums, sites on the Internet that can support you as surfers or as students.

Strong communities help us understand what awaits us in the learning process, examine the accumulated knowledge and get lots of information.

Communities are today mostly on Facebook, but also in WhatsApp groups and possibly on dedicated sites.

There used to be a large community here at the Tarot Forum in Walla, but I'm sure in a simple search you will find some active communities - and I encourage you to start connecting with them to be impressed, interested and understand the spirit of the matter.

After all, tarot cards are an ancient skill that has a history.

Even as we have progressed and developed technologically, the cards have been created out of humanity itself, out of the pain and longing we all have always had.

They reflect some old-fashioned magic, of all the teachers and all the readers and all the students and all the counseling that ever took place and took place.

We can be a part of it.

The most important thing is that there is no step too small.

You can start learning tarot number one today, one video or one interesting site.

This world is so fascinating and layered that once you dip one foot you already want to dive deep, and anyone can do it at their own pace.

so come on.

It's today to start working with tarot cards.
