1, embedded shuffling method
Take some tarot cards in your hand, let the cards face down, insert the remaining cards into your hand at will, then take some cards out of your hand and insert them again. Repeat this step until you feel the card is clean. However, this shuffling method is very easy to break the edge of the card, so be careful (sometimes it will scratch your hand ...)
2. Pushing and shuffling method
Mix the tarot cards face down on the table, then push the top stack of cards back to the left hand with the thumb of the left hand, and then push the bottom stack of cards back to the right hand with the thumb of the right hand. Continue to repeat this action until all the cards are separated, and then repeat these actions repeatedly until you feel washed.
But this method is not very easy, so you must practice it often to avoid hitting your hand.
3. Ordinary shuffling method
Put the tarot card face down and mix it evenly with both hands clockwise or counterclockwise. Turn with the strength of your fingertips and wrists. Just like calligraphy, the wrist should be raised and each card should be turned as gently as possible. It is suggested that each card should turn more than three and a half times as much as possible. Note that the cards above should be evenly mixed with the cards below.
The three methods mentioned above are all common shuffling methods. When shuffling cards, it is generally suggested that occupiers concentrate on the questions to be asked, while fortune tellers concentrate on shuffling cards. As for whether the occupier shuffles the cards, people have different opinions.
As for whether these methods must be used to shuffle cards, the answer is not necessarily. As long as you can mix the cards well and don't hurt the cards.
Second, the cutting method of tarot cards
After washing the cards according to the above method (or any method), put the cards straight, face down,
And cut the cards in the following way: grab a stack of cards from the sorted cards, put this stack on the left of the original stack, and grab another stack of cards from the just-caught stack and put it on the left of the cards, so there are three stacks of cards. Combine these three stacks of cards into a stack at will, and that's it.
This is a quick card cutting method commonly used in the west. You can cut your own cards, or you can be cut by the occupier when you are divining others. However, it should be noted that when merging cards into a stack, please follow your intuition and don't deliberately think about which side to put.
Next, I will provide you with some card cutting methods introduced in the book:
1, gypsy magic card
Arrange the cards horizontally in a stack. Put the cards face down in a pile. You may not be used to it at first, and it is not easy to tidy it up, but don't be impatient and proceed with caution. The fortune teller can't see the card face, and he can't let the other side see the card face. Cut the card into two stacks with your left hand. In order to prevent the cards from returning to the original order, the cut cards should be placed below. If you are divining for a friend, ask another person to cut cards in the same way.
2. Super player tarot cards
Finally, the soothsayer can choose whether to cut the cards or not. In addition, there is no special regulation on whether the number of card cuts is counted three times or the number of card cuts. It is important that the fortune teller should tell the other party "Please split the card in half with your left hand" when cutting the card.
3. Advanced mysterious tarot cards
Next, cut the card in half with your left hand and fold it again. Please pay attention to the order of the cards, don't confuse them, and put the cut cards below.
If you help others or friends to read divination, the divined person will cut the cards in the same way. (Put the cards horizontally, grab a stack of cards and put them under the original cards, and then stack the original cards on the newly caught cards, that is, the cards originally located below become the cards above. )
4, cat magic book
Divide the sorted cards into upper and lower stacks, and then exchange positions up and down. This method is called "card cutting". In order to make the cards more evenly confused, it is necessary to cut the cards. The number of card cuts can be determined according to personal preference.
Both soothsayers and soothsayers have to cut cards with each other. (Put the cards horizontally, the original name is A, grab a stack of cards from A and put it below, set it as B, then grab a stack of cards from B ... put A card on B card, and then put A+B card on C card. )
Third, the drawing method of tarot cards
The following card drawing methods are provided for you, and you can choose by yourself. Only after cutting the card.
1. Let your opponent (or yourself) draw the required number of cards at will.
2. Let your opponent (or yourself) choose a number first, and then choose cards according to the number (you can choose from above or below).
3. Expand the cards directly from the top (or bottom) in sequence.
4. If the standard card drawing method is mentioned in the book, draw the card according to the way written in the book.
Extended data
Tarot cards are an ancient divination tool. Its origin has always been a mysterious legend, and many experts who study mysticism try to find some clues.
1, ancient Egyptian theory
/kloc-in the 8th century, the French mystic Court de Geblin proposed that the word Tarot was taken from the Egyptian characters tar (Tao) and ro (King), meaning "King". So "Tarot" itself refers to his correct determination as a king, which is also the starting point of this divination method. It is the moon god of Egypt and the god of culture and education.
The Wonder Sutra is a mysterious book dedicated to conveying the will of the gods, and the pharaohs made various decisions according to it. When the Egyptian dynasty died, in order to prevent foreigners from getting the book, they drew it as a card and gave it to the gods. Later, it was introduced to Europe by Alexander, and the modern tarot cards were formed in the Middle Ages.
However, in the same century 1799, the discovery of Rosestone made Egyptian hieroglyphs deciphered, and then it overthrew the theory of "king".
2. Italian theory
According to historians' research, as early as14th century, some aristocrats in European countries had already played tarot cards. During this period, the Vatican banned tarot cards and characterized them as the devil's Atlas and pagan objects. In addition, the earliest known tarot cards appeared in Italy at the end of14th century15th century.
Italian poker game talocci "tarocci" is similar to tarot cards, with only 22 cards, similar to the 22 main cards of Grand Akana. At the same time, the meanings of love, victory, love, death, reputation, fate and future praised in Italian poetry are similar to those of tarot cards. So many people agree that Tarot cards originated in Italy.
However, many scholars who study tarot cards believe that these evidences can only show that tarot cards once appeared in Europe, and they do not believe that tarot cards originated in Europe. And associate the word Tarot with the Tarot River in northern Italy.
