  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Spunky Spirit Podcast. I'm your host, Psychic Medium,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Keri Muggs. In this space, we get curious about your intuition,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: explore your connection with spirit, and find a little magic
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: in everyday life. We'll share stories, ask questions, and talk
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: about learning to trust yourself, even when you're still trying
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to figure things out. Because I believe we all have abilities,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and there's always more to discover. So take a breath,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: get comfortable, and and let's remember your magic. Hello. So
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: today we are going to talk about tarot cards versus
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: oracle cards. And this is in honor of Tarot Tuesday.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: And I did my very first one this week. If
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: you guys were there, that's great. If you weren't, I
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: get it. There's lots of stuff going on, but it
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: was fun. And I'm learning how to do tarot and
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: it's been so fun and it's awesome to do it
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: with you guys, to have you guys be part of
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: it because it's been a blast. And I love that
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: you guys, my spunksters, are with me and don't judge.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: And the thing is, is there's a lot of things
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: that I need to fix. There's a lot of bugs
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: that I need to fix. But honestly... It was fun.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I need to figure out the comments and I need
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to have people ask questions and I need to figure
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: out when spirits come through. I need to focus on
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the tarot right now. So when spirits do come through,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I don't feel like I'm not giving them attention. So
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: it'll work out. We'll figure it out. And eventually we
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: will have spirits come through, but I want to be
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: able to give my full attention to them too. So today,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you ever looked at an Oracle deck, Well,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: first off, I want to thank you because my event,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: do some housekeeping stuff that I forget about. My event
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: is sold out in December 5th. So thank you so much.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I owe you guys so much. That's been awesome. I'm
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: excited for it. It's a holiday one. They're my favorite
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and I couldn't do it without you guys. And so
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: thank you for that. And also too, if you're getting
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: my emails and if you're supposed to be getting my
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: emails and you don't see them every Tuesday, then they're
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: most likely going to junk. So make sure you go
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: into your spam or your junk and make sure that
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you're putting them to come to your inbox. So, okay.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: So have you ever looked at a tarot deck and
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: an Oracle deck and asked, what's the difference? And are
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: they actually different? And which one are you supposed to use?
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: So today we're going to make it simple. You do
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: not need to pass a test before you pick up
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: a deck. Oracle deck's Um, they're kind of more general.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: They have a more general meaning. The tarot deck has
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: an established structure. Oracle decks follow a structure that their
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: creator chooses. And speaking of oral decks, I do have
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: an oral deck coming out. Signs and symbols or oral
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: deck by it's called, um, yeah, signs and symbols, spirits,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: signs and symbols. And it's beautiful. I'm so excited. So anyways,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: that is an Oracle deck and you can like enjoy
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: either both the Oracle or the tarot. and decide which
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: one you want to do. So maybe this will kind
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: of help you decide. Tarot decks. There is a traditional...
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Tarot decks are traditional. They are 78 cards. There's 22
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: of them that are major arcanas. That means there's 22
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: of them that hold like a major feel about the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: deck or have major meanings. Like there's like the sun,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: which means... bringing in good things. And then there's a star,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: which means hope. Then there's also the tower, which means
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: things are falling apart. So these are the ones that
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: hold a major feel over the reading when you're doing
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: your reading. And there's 56 minor arcana. And the minor
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: arcana are day-to-day activities. So day-to-day things that you're doing.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: This is why the tarot is more detailed. And the
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: tarot has good and bad in it. Where Oracle does too,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: but Oracle's more like you can put a positive spin
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: on it. Oracle decks are kind of more general. So
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: that's like where the joke is, is if you want to,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: you know, a general fluffy feeling, do an Oracle deck.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: But if you really want to know what's going on,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: then do a tarot, do a tarot reading. And the
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: minor arcana, they're divided into four suits, just like a
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: regular playing card deck. So they have the hearts and
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the clubs and the spades. But these ones, the suits
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: are cups, wands, swords, and pentacles. And the names in
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the artwork can vary between each deck. But the original deck,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: it is the cups, the wands, the swords, and the pentacles.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: So the major arcana, they explore the life themes, general life,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: like broader life themes. The minor arcana offer framework for,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: you know, like everyday experiences and things and it's, you,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: you kind of, I mean, I did study, I studied
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: tarot to try and figure out what, and I still
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: don't know what all 78 cards mean. So it does
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: take a little bit, even on my first yesterday on
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: my first, you know, Tuesday on my first, um, tarot
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: with Tuesday, Tuesday with tarot, it was, I had to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: check my cheat sheet a little bit because they are
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: kind of hard to remember, but I feel like the
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: more you do it, the better you get. The main
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: thing is though, Both decks, Oracle and Tarot, they both
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: want you to tap into your intuition. They really do.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: And so I can already pretty much do that, but
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I want to learn the Tarot. I can look at
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the cards and tap into my own intuition. I can
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: look at my psychic. I can look and tap into
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: my things. I can do that. But I also want
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: to know, I want to, I want to learn more
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: about my craft. And so Tarot is, is what I'm doing. Oracle,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: there is no single required card count or shared structure
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: in Um, and the creator can create what they want
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: around their own themes and messages and images and their
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: particular practice. And that's what I did with my Oracle deck. I,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you know, themed it around carry connects and the signs
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and the symbols to watch for each day. So that's
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: kind of how, um, Oracle decks work. I did it
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: around my own practice and my own themes and carry connects.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: And that's what Oracle decks do. So, um, the structure
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: is different. but it doesn't mean that one's easier than
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the other. I think so. I do. But because tarot
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: does have certain meanings and there's so much to put
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: into each card. So, and I go off Oracle, I
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: go strictly off intuition. And tarot, I probably will too eventually,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: but I want to know the meanings in the direction
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: of the cards. So tarot will give you an established
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: framework to learn. And the artwork, The artwork is kind
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: of important for tarot because it kind of helps you remember.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: It adds another layer in the interpretations. And every reader
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: can interpret it different, though. So if I think it
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: means one thing to me, it can mean something else
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: to somebody else. But there's a general rule of thumb
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: with tarot. And tarot kind of tells a story. You
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: start with the fool and you go to the magician.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: And the fool takes off and has an adventure and
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: he runs to the magician. And then he runs into
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: different people. people throughout his journey. And those are all
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the major arcana cards. He runs into the emperor. He
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: runs into the death guy. He runs into different people,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the chariot. And so that's, it's kind of cool. That
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: little tarot story of the fool. And technically the person sitting,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: getting the reading is the fool and he's run and it's,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: he's going through his earth and his day-to-day transitions and
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: but sometimes the major arcana themes come up. So I
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: hope that kind of makes sense. With Oracle, you learn
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the language of that particular deck. One creator's symbols and
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: keywords may mean something completely different than another one's. So
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: in my deck that I'm creating, a key might mean
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: something different to somebody else who creates another deck. But
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: in Tarot, it's generally the same. They're generally the same.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: A guidebook is allowed for both. Reading it does not...
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: if you read the guidebooks, it doesn't mean that you fail,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: that your intuition, it just means sometimes you need a
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: little help. Like when I was doing the Tuesday Tarot
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: and it was kind of crazy and sometimes I needed
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: a little help because you get nervous. But you can
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: read the intention of the creators, you know, whatever the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: intention that the creator meant with the images that are
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: on the oracle. So when I do carry connects, I
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: always say, watch for these signs and symbols, right? And
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: when you're reading tarot, there are certain signs and symbols
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: that do have meanings because it's the meaning of the card.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: So it's kind of hard to explain a little bit,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: but tarot is more generally structured. But neither one of
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: them is better than the other. A strong emotional reaction
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: to a card can be in both, in oracle or tarot.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: And And there's no proof that the message is fact.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: It's just a general idea. But I'm still learning the
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: tarot cards. I can pull an oracle deck and pretty
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: much know what the meanings of the cards mean most
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: of the time. A tarot deck, I never could. I
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: never could pull a card and know exactly what it
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: meant because I had no idea. Cups meant emotion and
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: wands meant fire. or power and swords meant air. I
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: didn't know that they had those things and those elements
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: to them. So now that I do, I can get
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: a better general idea of what it means. So if
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: you're choosing a deck, start with artwork that you're comfortable with,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: comfortable to look at But if you're choosing a tarot deck,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I would start with the, gosh, I don't even know
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: the first deck. There's a tarot deck that's old, that's
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: been around for a really long time, that the artwork's
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: been around forever. And it's generally the first tarot deck.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I would start with that. Because sometimes when you get
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: different tarot decks, they do have different pictures. It's easier
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: for me to learn with an original tarot deck. But
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: you can do what you want to. You do not
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: have to choose a deck that somebody tells you to,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: like I just did. You can do whatever you want.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: You can choose whatever you want. I did take a
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: tarot class. I've never had to take an oracle class.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: With oracle decks, I can just kind of tune into
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: myself or tune into my own intuition. If you have
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: access to the sample book or guidebook, you can read it.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: If it's clear and useful, then that's good. But you know,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of times you don't have access to that. So,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: so yeah. Do you want to study or do you
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: want a deck built around a particular theme or approach?
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Like they have dragon decks. I'm talking about Oracle decks
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: right now, but also tarot decks have different themes too.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: So even though there's a structure to it, they do
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: have different things. Like I do have a Disney villain
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: tarot deck that I actually love and I love that theme. So,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: but I didn't learn with that deck. So you're allowed
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: to pick a deck because you like it, not because
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: it's wrong or right or somebody else likes it. You
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: have to build a relationship with that deck. Your deck
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: is like a living, breathing thing. And you can use
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: your own way of using them. Once you kind of
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: understand the basic difference, the interesting part is how you
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: actually use the cards. So you can use different prompts
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: and you can, you know, do whatever you want to do. Whatever.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: This is just like your practice. You get to do
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: whatever feels right for you. So don't go off of
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: what somebody else says to tell you how to do it.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: These are just ideas. So which one do you prefer?
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Do you prefer Oracle or Tarot? Go for which one
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: you like the best and which one do you do
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: you enjoy? Do you enjoy? more structured or more lenient?
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: When do you reach for an oracle? Does a certain
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: style of language or imagery help you reflect? And when
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: do you reach for a tarot? If you do, what
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: do you enjoy about the structure? What deck do you
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: use the most often? I used to use the simpler
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: ones the most often. And for carry connects, I do
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: use pretty simple ones just because the signs and symbols,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I want them to be relatable and, And so I
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: don't go into depth, but now that I'm using tarot
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: and doing Tuesday tarot night, then that's going to be
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: actually pretty interesting. So, and has your relationship with the
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: deck changed over time? I'm telling you, you build relationships
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: with certain decks. Some decks I don't, I just have a,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: but there are certain decks that I like to use
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: for certain readings, certain people. And for me, like every
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: year we do our fit my family. My kids sit
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: down with me and we do a yearly reading with
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Oracle cards. So we put them in a circle. We
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: put a card, each card representing each month, and we
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: turn them over and do like a yearly reading. So
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: January is going to have this theme. February is going
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: to have this theme. Now, I've never done it with
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: tarot cards because I didn't know the meaning of tarot.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: But now that I do, we might. So we'll have
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: to see because tarot can get more detailed. But sometimes
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: you can use them together. I've never done this. I've
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: never done this. I like to use just so too,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I'm going to back up a little bit. Um, I
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: like to do Oracle decks and do my own reading
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: and then look at the book and see how close
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I was or see if it matched. And same thing
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: with tarot. Now I'm doing a tarot reading for myself
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: or for my family. And then I'll make sure I'll
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: go to the card meeting and make sure I got
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: it right. Um, so that's kind of cool, but I've
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: never done using a tarot and an Oracle deck together. Um,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: if you enjoy both, you can do both of them
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: and it can, it can offer different readings, like a
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: different perspective, right? Like it can, but I've never done it. So, um,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: but you can say like to use a tarot card,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: you can be like, what am I noticing in this situation?
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: And so the tarot can get more detailed and tell
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: you what you're noticing in the situation because it's a
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: more detailed card, but the Oracle can say, um, like
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: a more general idea, like a more It's kind of
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: hard to explain, but once you kind of know the difference, you'll. Yeah,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: depending on the quality and which one you start to like,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: once you know the difference and you kind of start to.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, I have always liked Oracle cards better, but
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: now that I know tarot and I'm learning tarot, I
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: think I might start going kind of in that direction.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: So it's kind of cool. Yeah, they're kind of. it's
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: so hard to explain the different meanings to them. And
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: sometimes when can you use Oracle and tarot cards? You
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: can do one card pulls every day and there's different layouts.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: There's different layouts to tarot and there's different layouts to Oracle.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: There's like the past, present, future layout when you put
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: them all three together. There's the four spread layout for tarot.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: And with Oracle cards, I never really did the different layouts,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: but with tarot you might because they're more It's more
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: of a detailed thing. It would be interesting just to
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: like learn tarot, honestly, if you were like interested at all.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: And it's kind of cool. I kind of really like it.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: So I don't know how people would combine decks though.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: So I'm not really sure. I guess you could do that.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I've never done that, but I know people do, but
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: it's not my thing. I've never really actually seen it
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: in either, but. but you can do card readings on yourself.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: We do carry connects. We do one card, but then
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: we do carry connects in depth where we pull, we
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: pull four more. So it's a membership that I have
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: where you can go in and if you like carry connects,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: but you want more in depth, then you go into
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: carry connects in depth and I'll pull four more cards
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: and it will be a more in depth reading. That's
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: just a membership I do for some of my spunksters.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: It's like $ 5 a month and every week you'll get
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: a different reading and I might do some tarot in
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: there too, um, to practice tarot. I might do some
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: tarot cards in there, like do a tarot reading or
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to add more stuff. It's only $ 5 a month.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to add more stuff to it besides just
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: carry connects. I just haven't decided what I'm going to
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: do yet. So, so yeah, cards are awesome. Now I
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: have to be honest, cards are how I started getting
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: into mediumship because I would get, I would do the
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Oracle cards and then I would stop tapping into my intuition.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: So basically, The cards are just kind of a crutch
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: for your own intuition. And I feel like Oracle cards
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: helped me with my mediumship and I feel like psychic.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I feel like tarot cards are helping me with my
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: psychic abilities. So Oracle cards kind of like you can
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: get Oracle cards that help you find signs and symbols
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: for your loved ones to come through. I feel like
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Oracle cards give more of a accurate reading for your
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: loved ones to give you messages. Tarot cards, I feel
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: like they're more psychic. They're more like past, present, and future.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: They're more like, this is what's going to happen. This
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: is what's coming. And they're more detailed. So that's another
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: reason I'm kind of working on Tarot because mediumship, I
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: can rock mediumship. Psychic, I can see the visions, but
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I don't, and I can see what's coming, but I
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: don't have, I don't articulate it very well. I'm not
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: a very good conversationalist and I'm hoping that Tarot helps me,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: helps me with that. So, Whichever deck you choose, whichever
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: deck is pulled to you, if you're pulled to Oracle
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: or Tarot, there's one thing that you want to remember
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: and is that you get to still make your own decisions.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: These cards are not taking, if you let these cards
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: make decisions for you, they're taking your power. So you
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: have everything you need already inside you. These cards are
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: just a crutch for you, but they can help you
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: and they can be a tool that you use to
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: help you. but don't focus on them and don't let
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: them make decisions for you. They're good for validation. That's
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: what I always say. Use a card to explore a
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: question and notice the feeling. Consider another perspective. They have
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: in tarot, they have the hangman. And when you get him,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: it means that you need to look at things at
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: a different perspective. You need to look at things in
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: a different way. A card does not establish what will
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: happen or what Um, what exactly will happen? It just
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: is kind of in a general idea of what can
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: happen because future can always change. There is future is
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: not set in stone. My favorite is when you pull
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: something and you disagree with it. And so you want
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: to pull it again. You know what? You just got
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: to go with the cards. You got to figure out, um,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: that's the one thing you can't do is, is like
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: you pull the cards and you don't like what they say.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: So you pull them again and you got to just
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: go with what you get. Um, that's the, that's signs
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: of maturity, right? Your deck can give you something to
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: think about and to ponder. Um, but you don't have
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: to hand it the steering wheel. Like you can make
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: your own, your own judgment and work on your intuition.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: That's what I use it for. Um, let's see, go to,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: to pick out a deck, go to one that you're
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: pulled to. If you go to, I listed on my
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Instagram and Facebook different beginner decks that I thought were
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: interesting that I would recommend. They're easy to read, but
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: they're all Oracle. None of them are tarot tarot. So
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: if you want a tarot deck, there's no really beginner
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: tarot decks because you have to learn the tarot. But, um, I,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: there's classes, lots of classes, lots of, if you put
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: tarot in the search fields, you could find lots of
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: classes or lots of cheat sheets on social media. So, um,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: So again, that's pretty much it. I love both now.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: I used to love Oracle cards more, but I actually
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: love both. And if you do start doing your readings,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: journal them, take pictures of them, and then kind of
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: go back to them. I like to use Oracle cards.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: I like to use the cards as like a journal
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: prompt sometimes. My favorite part of when I get that,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: when I do that box from Mystic Misfits, my favorite
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: part is the Oracle cards. The Oracle cards, they're my favorite.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: In fact, I want, I've been looking into getting a
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: vending machine and filling it full of the Oracle cards,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: like one card. And then you pay like a dollar
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: to get your Oracle card for the day when you come,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: if you come to my office. I think that'd be awesome.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: So again, just to clear things up, Tarot gives you
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: a structured, structure exploration. It's more structured. Oracle gives you
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: the creator's particular approach. I think in my opinion, Oracle
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: goes more with spirit and signs and symbols and general
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: and tarot goes more with psychic. That's kind of what
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I kind of go. And I feel like the wands
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: and the cups and the suits are for your clairs,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: like which clair you use. Because I think cups are
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: for emotions and that would be your feelings, right? The clairsentient.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: And like, I think maybe the wands would be the vision.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: So I have lots to learn about the tarot, but
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I'm willing to learn with you guys every Tuesday night
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: at seven o'clock on my Facebook and my Instagram, if
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: you are up to it. And again, when you practice,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: do it without the guidebook, but then use the guidebook
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: for validation if you need to. So yeah, just ask yourself,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: which one are you drawn to? Tarot or Oracle? I
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: used to be drawn to Oracle the most, but now
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of going towards, and I guess that could
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: be it too. If you want more of a spiritual experience,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: connection to your ancestors, an Oracle deck might work. An
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Oracle thing might work. If you want more of a
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: psychic reading, then that would be tarot. That's my opinion.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: So that's the difference. And, um, I hope that explains
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: it because I used to not know what the difference
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: is was either. And then I just kind of stayed
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: away from tarot, but now I'm like, I want to
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: learn it because I want to learn. I want to
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: learn to tap into my psychic abilities a little bit more.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: I use them to talk and communicate with spirit, but
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: I kind of want to, do this, go in this
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: direction too sometimes. So there you go. And there you
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: have it. So I think I did all my housekeeping
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: stuff up front, but also too, I do have an
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: awesome online awakening course that talks about signs and symbols
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: and chakras and all of the beginning stuff. So if
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: you're just starting an awakening and you're just barely starting
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: to go through this stuff, the awakenings course that you
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: can find on my website at kerrymuggs.com, it can help you.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: It can help you with all the basic stuff. Yeah.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: So there you go. I cannot wait to continue Tarot Tuesdays.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: And I hope that you come along for a ride
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: and help me learn this Tarot thing because it's going
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: to be awesome. And who knows where it's going to
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: lead us, but it'll lead us there together. So thank
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: you guys. And I will see you next week. Thank you.
