I’ve written about this topic before and it seems to be wildly popular. Maybe you are at a party or down the pub and a friend asks if you brought your tarot cards. No? Don’t disappoint them… just beg or borrow a pack of regular playing cards, shuffle and you’re away.
Lunar Cafe recently asked me to produce an article on the topic, so if you are in need of assistance to help you make the transition, then here’s the link: Tarot Reading with Playing Cards – a Quick Guide
It’s pretty straightforward, especially if you are already familiar with tarot. All you need to do is have a basic knowledge of how the suits and numbers correspond and you are good to go. You might even prefer the plainness of the playing cards to the sometimes creator-directed imagery of tarot. It gives you more scope for interpretation. Give it a go, you might be surprised at the accuracy of your readings.
