TAROFLEXIONS
When you read cards, you don’t just address problems. You address grief. “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better” doesn’t work in divination. If we forget that divination is a technology in addition to being an interpretative art, we forget that there’s no difference between what a doctor does andwhat
THE LENORMAND HOUSES AS TEMPERAMENTS Often students want to know how we use the Lenormand houses according to the ‘master method’ that’s inspired by the card significations for a pique playing cards deck. WELCOME TO TAROFLEXIONS WELCOME TO TAROFLEXIONS. This is a blog about reading cards: Playing-cards, Tarot de Marseille, contemporary tarot, Lenormand, and some other oracles. I offer cutting-edge insights into the method of reading a visual text according to cultural context and situationalcorrespondence.
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR OWN WISDOM Understanding takes time. This January, being a month of clearings on all fronts, I’ve had the opportunity to check with my understanding of what I’m doing.

THE LENORMAND HOUSES AS TEMPERAMENTS Often students want to know how we use the Lenormand houses according to the ‘master method’ that’s inspired by the card significations for a pique playing cards deck. THE FEAR OF NOT KNOWING WHAT IS THE CASE The fear of not knowing what is the case. Many talk about fear. Fear of death. Many offer solutions. I also like to talk about fear, either Zen style or cartomancy style, or both, and offer some insights. But here’s my theory, against the mainstream notion that what people fear the most is death. People are not afraid of death. THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT Actually dreaming of the Devil makes a good story. Then set out to express some art in any form, be that a tarot deck or a dish. You can change the variables, but you don’t need to invest thinking in this, unless you want to make an original contribution. Changing a variable is changing a variable, not conceptual art, or your original thought. HOW TO RECOVER WHAT YOU LOST Conjunct the significator for my cards, the Sun. As the Sun applies to Jupiter, meaning, the cards went to this place, I knew exactly what the deal was. I went, ‘ah,’ and ‘of course’, the cards must be in the pocket of my long rain coat, one that I don’t use too often (this reasoning is based on the fact that the 9th house is cadent FORTUNETELLING IN THREE STEPS 3) For timing and health we associate the cards with the elements and the seasons in the following way: Diamonds are for spring and fire. A fresh idea is a hot idea. Diamonds are chiselled for exchange and culture. We hold diamonds in our hands. They denote working with the head. Diamonds represent the nervous system. DO IT TODAY OR TOMORROW? If you ‘struggle’ with time, give yourself no more than two options: ‘Do it today or tomorrow?’. Note that I didn’t say, ‘do it today or some other time at a later point’. That’s not an option if you want to get things done. I had to ask this of myself, and I used the cards for it, simply because I was too tired todeliberate

The reading structure goes as follows: First the inner cross, horizontal line first, with focus on pairing 2+3 and then 4+5.

LENORMAND’S FLOWERS: A LILY FOR YOUR SEX Hi! thank you for making me think more about this intriguing cardEvery time I see lilies in my reading, I usually think about a situation that is in progress, that will take some time to develop and foremost that the ones involved will learn something, since it is a process going on.since to me is a card that lets me know that whatever is going on will go slowlyTAROFLEXIONS

A THIRD PARTY READING WITH THE LENORMAND CARDS Let’s look at a recent reading with the Lenormand cards that made me think about how we can use the playing card insets in an optimal way. I’ve written about insets on other occasions, but recently I’ve had an opportunity to see how beautifully the reading flowed in and out of the cards’ symbolic representations as they were accompanied by the playing-card significations. HOW TO RECOVER WHAT YOU LOST Conjunct the significator for my cards, the Sun. As the Sun applies to Jupiter, meaning, the cards went to this place, I knew exactly what the deal was. I went, ‘ah,’ and ‘of course’, the cards must be in the pocket of my long rain coat, one that I don’t use too often (this reasoning is based on the fact that the 9th house is cadent KILL YOUR NEIGHBOR’S CHILDREN KILL YOUR NEIGHBOR’S CHILDREN. Once I got up in the morning and I wen: ‘there’s nothing more I’d rather do today than kill the neighbor’s children.’. I had different sets of playing cards on the table. I looked at them and said: ‘Give me a second to get my coffee, and I’ll be right there, reading all 40 of you in thefastest
WHY I RESIST MEANING Why I resist meaning? Because that’s where magic happens. In that resistance. I sit with a set of cards and don’t go: ‘This means that’. ‘This means that’ requires an interpreter. An interpreter, when competent, occupies a liminal space, finding herselfoften at

When you read cards, you don’t just address problems. You address grief. “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better” doesn’t work in divination. If we forget that divination is a technology in addition to being an interpretative art, we forget that there’s no difference between what a doctor does andwhat

HOUSES IN THE GRAND TABLEAU WITH PLAYING CARDS Prompted by a question from a cartomancer as to whether I have a house system for reading the grand tableau with playing cards, here is a method I have devised that can be used both as a house system and as an alternative way of reading the tableau to the one I have indicated in my previous post on this, The Heart’s Desire. Here is a diagram containing all 52 cards distributed in 5 rows of 9 THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT Actually dreaming of the Devil makes a good story. Then set out to express some art in any form, be that a tarot deck or a dish. You can change the variables, but you don’t need to invest thinking in this, unless you want to make an original contribution. Changing a variable is changing a variable, not conceptual art, or your original thought. MARSEILLE PLAYING CARDS He sent me again prototype number 1 of his new Marseille Tarot Playing Cards.

THE GAP METHOD OR WHAT FORTUNETELLERS SELL I have a whole essay on Taroflexions that addresses this, simply called: Yes/No. But today, when this question was posed in the new group forming for my Lenormand class, it made me think of the method that I call the ‘gap method’ that I can share with all here.

So you read these words and think to yourself, following your innate wisdom that identifies what’s wrong DO IT TODAY OR TOMORROW? If you ‘struggle’ with time, give yourself no more than two options: ‘Do it today or tomorrow?’. Note that I didn’t say, ‘do it today or some other time at a later point’. That’s not an option if you want to get things done. I had to ask this of myself, and I used the cards for it, simply because I was too tired todeliberate
FORTUNETELLING IN THREE STEPS 3) For timing and health we associate the cards with the elements and the seasons in the following way: Diamonds are for spring and fire. A fresh idea is a hot idea. Diamonds are chiselled for exchange and culture. We hold diamonds in our hands. They denote working with the head. Diamonds represent the nervous system.

The layout of the French Cross is as follows: Card 1: Situation. Card 2: What opposes or aids it. Card 3: Advice. Card 4: Outcome. Card 5: Synthesis (or the tone, not the outcome of the reading in general, to which you arrive by adding the value of the 4 cardsCOUNCIL OF 13
The reading structure goes as follows: First the inner cross, horizontal line first, with focus on pairing 2+3 and then 4+5. Then the outer cross, horizontal line first, also with focus on pairing 6+7 and then 8+9. Then the X, with the left diagonal line first 10+11 and then 12+13. The center card must be taken into consideration, allaccording
SPIRIT COURT
Start squinting at the thing of interest. Squint so hard until you feel that you’re on the verge of fainting. If you do this right, you will be on the verge of fainting, as you go from perception to real sensation. Once the dead thing starts moving, ask it a question. You can use your voice to ask aloud, or in THE GAP METHOD OR WHAT FORTUNETELLERS SELL Is there a method for the simple question, Yes or No, other than looking at what arises as a matter of course? Maybe.
