Bought Your First Tarot Deck? Here’s Where to Start.

Bought your first tarot deck and don’t know where to begin? Booked a reading with your favorite astrologer and not sure what to ask? In this special episode, I break down the key elements in opening up and asking for guidance, be it from cards, star charts or any mode of divination. I talk about setting intentions, rituals for before and after a reading, and getting to know your guides (think: inner children, future selves, ancestors, angels, past lives, higher powers and gods) and framing your questions. And if you’re giving a reading, or receiving one, what should you look out for? I share some of my personal detectors for calling out bullshit in a reading, and for asking the right questions. I share some of my favorite tarot spreads, along with books that changed the way I practice, including Mary Greer’s Tarot Reversals, Alejandro Jodorowsky’s The Way of the Tarot, and Rachel Pollack’s Seventy Eight Degrees of Wisdom. Whether you’re looking to read yourself or your friends, my intention is to provide you with the inspiration to develop your own practice. Write to me at [email protected] To book a reading with, go to DavidOdyssey.com and Davidodyssey.substack.com
