One time my cards weren't giving me the answers I wanted, so I kept redoing the reading and being really stubborn. I went to shuffle them to start fresh after pulling a bunch of cards in frustration and the Fool fell out. 😂 I was like FINE I GET IT ahaha
So, one day when I was 9 and I went to buy my first tarot card set my father took me to a second hand market. I found these beautiful tarot cards and I bought them. The first day when I brought them home I sat up on my dining table and began shuffling, suddenly a black shadow along with a cold breeze went past both me and my mom. Ever since then no matter how many good intentions I had with the cards it bought negativity into my family. I have removed the cards from my life and now own a positive new set of cards and all has been doing fine. Be cautious people and try not to buy second hand Wicca products as we don’t know the intentions the previous owner of the object used. Stay safe people and may you all be protected
it may be because you bought them from a secondhand shop. it is usually recommended that you be the first person to own the tarot cards as previous owners negative energy can linger in the cards
@@elizabethburke169 my friend gave me a deck and i saged the hell out of it,put it in salt with rose quartz and left them out side every night for almost a full moon cycle. There was something attached to them that was dark and just so much yuck. In the end after many nightmares for me and my husband i banished and burned them. Even took the ashes and buried them out in the desert. She got those from a friend who bought them new.
I am not following any religion, but i accidentally found you a few months ago and I've been researching Wicca since. I definitely believe I found you for a reason.
I’m in the same boat now. For the first time in many years I am feeling receptive to any type of religiosity. I feel at peace on this channel and with Harmony. I hope that continues.
girl thank you for droppin all your knowledge on us! Super helpful. Do you do snapchat/twitter? Would love to follow more on your Endeavors as much as I can!
Harmony Nice can I ask where did you get the candle in the background from? I love them so much, and know you can get them in Southampton but never seen them in Norwich
Wiccan is so interesting ! I just feel I would be confused a lot of If I started but I'm guessing that's common...just don't know how to start.What if you're ambidextrous ? So do you just choose one hand to use?
how do you know what the card mean, are the meanings somewhere for you to read and learn or it means whatever you think it means from what the picture shows?
I understand that the Wiccan altar is very personal to the individual but I think a lot of people, including myself, would be really interested in a video about yours - provided you are comfortable sharing that with us, of course!
Just to clarify, because I've noticed that many people in the comments are unaware of that: You don't have to be a Wiccan to read the Tarot. In fact, you don't even have to be a witch. It is related to mysticism, esotericism and the occult more than anything. The Tarot is an occult tool. It existed long before Wicca and it has been studied by occultists for centuries. It is a great book of wisdom that is influenced by Kabbalah, Alchemy, Astrology, Numerology, Neoplatonic philosophy and the Hermetic tradition. It has nothing to do with Wicca or Paganism in general. As long as you are interested in esoteric and occult studies, the Tarot will definitely be a useful tool for you and it will teach you a lot. It has a lot to tell about the mysteries of the human psyche and the subconscious and will be valued by anyone who seeks a deeper insight into their lives and their experience on this earth, Wiccan or otherwise. But there is no actual connection to Wicca. Sure, you can integrate it into your Wiccan practices, since it is a tool for divination and fortune telling and it can be used alongside other practices such as scrying or pendulum workings, tea leaf readings, palmistry, etc. But the Tarot is not inherently or explicitly related to Wicca by any means.
10:20 I only learned this later in life: that the tarot isn’t dangerous. I think it’s because I was taught that these cards were used to communicate with spirits, kinda like a Ouija board. I don’t know where that idea came from. But I’ve found these cards to be great for self-reflection and meditation.
Just an experience I wanted to share. I have always been interested in Tarot since my Grandma had her own set of cards and one day I asked her to do me just a normal reading. Her being Roman Catholic absolutely freaked out once The Devil appeared for little seven years old me. I didn't know at the time why though. So I began doing research on meanings of the cards (and also my obsession with palm reading) at the age of 10 things that were seemingly common sense to me was miracle guesswork to others. Although I never owned my own set of cards until recently. My mom as always been in arts and crafts and she bought this 3D "painting" where you put tiny little rocks in a picture. This picture was of a beautiful lady standing in the snow with two wolves. (Other imagery that I always liked for some reason). One week after she finishes the painting I go with her into her favourite incense shop which also has crystals, meditation CDs and Tarot Cards. There was a variety of sets and knowing that this was my chance to finally get one I decided to do so. I picked up the closed boxes that I connected to the most but I was undecided between two. In the end, I picked the set I have called "Legends" by Anne Stokes. Even though it's my first set I feel like it's the set for me. As when I arrived home and spread out all my cards to see their beauty imagine my surprise when the Queen of Cups was the same exact picture my mom painted. I had no clue that the original illustration was by this Artist neither did I knew it was part of a Tarot Card Set. It really felt like I made the best decision. Only recently have decided to go into Wicca and Witchcraft investigation since I have always been fascinated by both. So I know that these videos are old but thank you for them from the bottom of my heart. It helps me a lot to have them. ~Love from Portugal
For several decades I have used the tarot to do next-day forecasts for myself and to conduct next-week forecasts. In every one of those hundreds and thousands of forecasts, the cards hit the bull's-eye every time. They never fail to tell you exactly what is coming up in the future. As long as you shuffle the cards thoroughly, they will tell you whatever you want to know about your past, present, or future. And with flawless exactitude. They will give you far more than "general guidance" about the future. They will give you pinpoint accuracy 100 percent of the time. Thorough shuffling is the key. When conducting a several-card reading, I never fail to riffle shuffle and double-cut my deck a full fifteen times. In this way, I achieve 100 percent accuracy 100 percent of the time in divinations about the past, present, or future.
tAtUm McLaNeY yes! If you feel comfortable with them. Tarot decks come in all sorts and themes, a cat set sounds awsome. Just play around with them and see if you feel like you can work with the deck.
Probably, because at my local witchcrafty shop there are loads of sets and they are all different, so there are the regular ones, ones with Wiccan symbols, ones with unicorns and fairies all over them, etc. As long as they are Tarot cards you can use them! I'm gonna go to that shop and buy some tomorrow, thats why I'm on this video lol
Have you memorized the meaning of each tarot card, or do you read the meaning from the pamphlet/ book that comes with most cards? Could you make separate videos that go more into depth on the different spreads?
I was going through a really hard time, I was way past breaking point and felt like I was going crazy. I needed help and guidance and bought tarot and oracle decks in desperation and honestly since I've started using them I've felt a WHOLE lot more at peace with myself. My grandfather had bought me my first deck a while ago but it disappeared unfortunately. I think someone came in my room and tossed them, but anyway I love these new ones and respect them. They calmed the storm going on in my head. I stopped having nightmares every night after receiving their guidance (coupled with calm classical music to sleep). So I will continue learning as much as I can about tarot, thanks for the video!
Please do more research. There are many who believe that doing things like playing with Tarot, is actually communicating with demons. I'd be one of those people who believes that. My mother read Tarot cards all my life, and the outcome was dangerous... it's not a game, and it's not for fun, and honestly, no one should be doing this.
I respect your opinion however, it is up to everyone what they choose to do- I hope you haven't scared the OP too much! I love the idea of tarot cards, however I always try to find reason in everything and unfortunately I find it hard to think of them as anything more than pieces of paper. I also used to be scared of demons, you need to remember that in the slight chance that they are real- you are a strong human and they can do you no harm:)
Gizmo Rose Of course it's up to everyone what they choose to do - I'm not suggesting it isn't. I'm just saying it's not a good idea. It's also not a good idea to run on the train tracks in front of on oncoming train. If I told someone to get off the tracks when a train is coming, would you feel the need to let me know that it's up to everyone what they choose to do? Demons can and do harm humans... and the human arrogance that believes they can't, is exactly what allows them to harm us in the first place. The spiritual realm is no playground.
I personally think you should. I've had other people read my tarot cards, I've read my own, and I never have had any bad or negative experience with them. I think there is a balance with everything, so don't overdo it and ask any possible question, but when you do need insight, if it's done correctly, you should become a bit more enlightened. They have always accurately represented me and my life, so I love them. I just got my very own and I'm just ecstatic. If you do get some, I would suggest getting one that you are drawn to instead of just one that looks pretty. I think that they are the universe and spirits around us telling us what might possibly happen in the future. I, in no way, think it's associated with demons.
The way I like to explain tarot cards is that they base their answers off the path you are following at that moment, thus why people get multiple readings. If your path changes, the same question doesn't always receive the same answer. :) just my own personal view, love these videos!!
I'm a Christian and believe very strongly that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. I have a deck of tarot cards and use them to force myself to look at my present situation with a different perspective because I have a tendency to lock onto the first conclusion I come to. Whenever I shuffle I ask my guardian angels to guide the cards.
Ashley Heymer I'm glad people are afraid to blend beliefs and see that everything isn't so black and white :) the idea of only one religion being entirely the truth is preposterous to me, so I'm glad you are able to create your own experience as I do :)
Jalisa Zimmerman the Rider Waite tarot deck is the beginner deck, though the first deck I got was the shadowscapes tarot deck. Shadowscapes deck is very beautiful and detailed, I love mine ❤️
char miller I actually checked out the app and downloaded it... obviously I will be doing more research and learning than just that but it does really help. It's a fun and easy way to familiarize oneself with tarot cards and their meanings and practice readings and such. Definitely recommend 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I just want to comment as possibly someone who is a minority in your subscribers, I am not a Wiccan and have never given it much thought. however since stumbling onto your channel I am really looking forward to watching some more of your videos and learning more about it. it seems like a really interesting religion and the way you deliver in an open minded way accepting of other people's interpretation is really refreshing and lovely. ignore I've said something incorrectly or am a bit ignorant in this comment then I apologise, it wasn't my intention and I am slowly working on my ignorance :) thanks for the video xx
Weirdly enough, I've noticed a lot of similarities to how we perceive Wicca and do certain things, such as tarot, for example. Cool stuff, thanks for the good content.
So when I found you, it was on your intro to wicca video and my first thought was that you're unearthly pretty and like that needs to be illegal and I thought you deserved to know.
I generally prefer to use one tarot set for my own readings, & another for when I'm giving friends/ family council. I don't used the cards commercially, but it just feels weird that I may have to share something I have a personal connection with for others.
I think I disagree about the "you can't use more than one tarot deck" thing. I've been reading tarot for about 7 years now (I started at about 16) and I can honestly say, even though I own multiple decks, my readings are still good and valid. Just as you can have different friends, and having more than one doesn't invalidate your friendship with another, so too can you have multiple decks. You may know some better, or be better or older "friends" with some, however you can still *have* and *use* more than one. I find I have some that I use for readings with friends; some I won't let other people touch because I feel they are attuned to me; other decks are special and I use only occasionally when I feel drawn to them. I even have a mini tarot deck I carry around with me (I find shuffling it soothing). idk I have a thing for tarot and oracle decks, and I really enjoy making my own too, so ymmv on this haha
Noreena Loftus Fastl I have like 40 decks lol. But I have been drawn very much to the Everyday Witch deck at the moment. The Wild Unknown is very popular right now; check out Sacred Seed on YT she has good videos
I started with tarot cards after I started playing the game "The Arcana" and I was facsinated with them. This game is also what mostly got me into witchcraft. There are 2 cards I feel very drawn to and deem them as "my cards", and those are Ace of Cups (upright and reversed) and The Moon.
My dad bought me my first set, from Barnes and noble, and I have connected with it, I do have small hands so shuffling is hard, the first kind of readings I was doing was with playing cards, and I really connected with them, and the treating it like a person made total sense I really like your thumbnails, they are so aesthetically appealing, and pretty, I also really like this series ❤️
I recently bought my first tarot deck and I'm so happy I take it with me everywhere; now I don't feel that crazy for doing it hahah thank you for making this video and I hope we'll see the meditation with tarot cards and meditation in wicca soon ! take care! xxx
This is very inspiring. I got my tarot as a gift. When my friend (who is into tarot) saw I was interested, he gifted me his book of tarot to help me better understand it. But when I asked my parents to buy me tarot they bought me a nice deck, but I couldn't connect with them. Then a year later my other friend gifted me tarot for fun, and it was the tarot from the book that meant so much to me, so in the end the tarot found me. :)
PLEASE GO ON! It's so amazing and really sooths my ancienties about the spiritual realm. Most of the time I don't actually practice because of my family enviroment, but I really feel in peace with wiccan teaching and witchcraft
In my opinion I think it's a good idea to sage your tarot cards before you use them or put a protection charm near you or on you so no bad things can manipulate your reading or do anything evil. I'm not expert that's just what someone in my family said they said to me when I got my first tarot card deck to always sage them before using and to thank them for there time when your done using them
I love this series. I'm very new to wicca and the information you provide has helped me in more ways than I could possibly put into words. Thank you for making this series.
Thank you, this is very helpful as I am now studying tarot cards reading. I've come to your channel shortly before my first tarot desk arrived today. Thanks for the advice of making friend with the cards, it's really helpful and heartwarming as I also love to do this type of things as well. It's a blessing to have found your channel today 🌬️
I followed you years ago! Like 2015 & as I changed I sadly unsubscribed and stumbled upon your TH-cam again, I love this series and glad I’ve found you again!! Much love
On having multiple tarot decks - I connect with both of my decks in different ways and use them for different types of readings. The first deck I ever got was simple and straightforward, it basically tells me to cut the bullshit lol. My second deck is much deeper and great for meditation or complex readings - currently, it's the one i use more often. (it's the Hermetic Tarot deck!) I believe it's perfectly alright to have connection with more than one deck, because not all decks are universally suited for all types of readings. That being said, decks like Rider-Waite and Universal Golden Tarot - even the rather popular Wild Unknown - are generally good for most types of readings. looooove your witchcraft/wicca series! :)
I have my own set of tarot cards that I have been painting for a bit with different animals that on each card (seven of Swords is a bunny dropping knives, death is a snake and a skull, etc etc) and I can't wait to for them to dry and for me to be able to do my first reading with them!
Really impressed with the way you covered the basics of tarot cards. You made it easy to follow for those who might be just starting or thinking about starting. 😊👍
I'd love to listen to information about meditation (and taro cards) :) Watching your videos are so helpful because you actually did get me interested in Wicca^^
Ok so let me explain this-I saw witchcraft and got interested but the religions Wiccan and pagan confused me so much and I couldn’t understand any of it, I came upon you and this series and IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE now- what I mean to say is... THANK YOU💛
Thank you so-so-so much for this series! It is so encouraging for me to watch someone with similar credo do things that I am fond of😍 I wish you all the best and hope you will continue doing videos like this! Blessed be🌟
Super super helpful! Thank you! Being in a small town I don't have many people to go to for questions like this. Thank the gods for the internet and for people like you 👏❤️😊
Thank you for this video ! I really like to hear other tarot cards reader talking about their experiences. I personally connect with set that have been designed a very long time ago like Solar busca or tarot of Marseille because I connect a lot with the past ❤️
I'm a devout Roman Catholic who also uses tarot cards and it was great to hear that even though we come from (seemingly) quite different religious beliefs, we share this view of tarot cards that it's not about the future, but seeing our lives as they are, as we already know them to be and to move through our lives more aware. Interesting video.
Yes! Please do a video on using tarot cards with meditation. I have started using crystals in my meditation and would also love to use my new tarot set in meditation!
Really love your videos and this series, I love to study about different religion. You are not crazy tarot cards have their own characters (might be due to their art work) and treating them as a person and wanting to know them is what I did as well. I have been using tarot cards for 12 years now, and started to use 2 deck in one reading, one for what is show in the surface and what is in the deeper level such as thoughts or what is not really shown to the person.
I completely agree to interview your deck not crazy at all! You have to come to the understanding of why your deck came to you! The sun card came up for me when I interviewed my deck :)
My first and only deck is the Healing Light deck and I love it so much. The differences between the shadows, light, and location of the mandaloras all help to add depth to the initial reading.
I know its good research and get information from different people but sometimes I forget there's other youtubers that talk about witchcraft😅 most of the things I've felt were right for me specifically and my beliefs are either most of the time the same as yours or similar and I think it's really cool that someone more experienced than me sees things like I do, your literally my mentor and I'm happy I found your channel because somethings I dont know about you explain it where I understand wayyy better than with other people.
Funny story: both my mother and I are spiritual, but I began practicing my spirituality actively before her, and It has always been easy for me, or at least not too hard. I’ve never been interested in tarot, but my mother ordered a deck. I opened it with her, and I tried it out with her. I felt really drawn to it for some reason. A few days later, she knocked at my door and told me “ it's yours.” She admitted she couldn’t connect to it, and it had chosen my energy. So, I have a deck now
I'm so grateful for you. I've been having weird realizations lately, including deleting social media lately.. I feel like I hit this time where everything is meant to come together and make sense.. I saw your videos in my recommended and I feel like I was meant to end up here.
I just bought tarot a few weeks ago, and just starting my faith in Wicca and I stumbled upon your videos! Subscribing right away! Thank you for posting such informative videos ♥️
Tarot is so cool because I can ask a question and if a card flies out and I’m not sure about the card, Everytime I shuffle the same card will always pop out no matter what.
Ty McFly well heres a quick story everytime my mother has read tarrot cards and the death card has fallen out someone dies in my family... so for her she knows this as a warning sign and tells everyone that they need to watch out.... unfortunately it still happens... to her she says its a symbolic warning and gives her time to appreciate those around her.. so ive always gone by if it falls out something along the lines of what that card means will occur or is occuring
A couple of years back I was in a shop with my family and I came upon this Wicca book and I don’t know what it was at the time but it looks interesting so I got it and took it home I love it it was so interesting to me but my life and school got in the way of me learning more about Wicca, I’m 16 now and I’ve found that book again after I thought I’d lost it and Wicca videos keep popping up on TH-cam and tiktok for me I think it a sign that I should start again and stick to it .
This was so helpful! I just ordered my first deck and it's witch themed, which may be a little odd, but I really liked the look of it and I guess we'll see how it goes.
I just found you today and I just started learning tarot cards like last week aha I love it I am writing my own book full of info on them and found what you said to be very accurate to what I've come across and helpful! Thank you subbed :DD!!!
I just started and it already makes so much sense! I'm so happy with the effectiveness. Probably a personal thing, but I personally find this very useful, even just using the major archena.
Update: it helped me come out. I knew exactly what to do with the new insight. I've always been really skeptical, but her 10 card strategy proved weirdly specific to the situation.....I couldn't have arranged it to tell the story better myself.
I don't tend to use tarot cards very often, I don't even have my own set (I would love to get one someday, but I can get a little weird about what draws me to it), but when I do on occasion use tarot cards I don't have any specific goal or question in mind. I try to see what I end up with, and keep that in mind in daily activities. Kind of like a reminder to focus on certain things, or keep an eye out for others.
Bought myself a new deck, I can’t find my other one right now, and I found the Tattoo Tarot deck, and it’s gorgeous :) traditional tattoo style, and lovely faces. You’d probably like this deck Harmony!
Sorry to spam your older videos with comments, I'm jsut starting out and your channel has been the biggest help to me :) Just wanted to chime in about the shuffling, I'm just like you in that I'm weirdly uncoordinated with shuffling cards, but I have a very logic-minded partner who told me the best way to shuffle cards is to divide them up into piles like you're dealing people into a card game. For instance, if there's 100 cards, divide them equally into 10 piles. For absolute mathematical randomisation you can do it twice, but for me personally I feel like that's overkill.
i would like if you would go more in depth about how to read tarot readings. ive struggled with this since ive had my deck because different sources have different takes on the card's meanings.
If you have problems to find a meaning on a card, maybe it's best to think what your meaning is. Like, if you see a card, that you can "sense" what it means.
i was in emergency for an overnight stay a few months ago at the hospital and i had my tarot cards in my mini back pack and when i got home the next day i pulled them out and inside with my deck a nurse had written on a sticky note that tarot cards are the devils tool and will wreak havic on my life and to get myself blessed by a priest immediately. i couldnt believe that a nurse had stuck that in there.
This was a very insightful video and I appreciate your content greatly. I will say though that with some tarot cards especially if they were given as a gift could possibly have a something attached to them if not you yourself. I had a terrible experience the first time I tried them. I got a very overwhelming negative energy, began balling, and getting paranoid. I disposed of the cards. I think it was completely my fault for dabbling with questions right off the bat about a God, heaven, and hell. The answers were VERY specific. Anyway like you stated though a person should connect with their cards & feel for the right ones!
I use the tarot of the old path. I was out shopping many years ago and as usual was drawn into the crystal shop. I looked at their tarot cards, as the Crystle shops here in Australia also sell candles, tarot cards, book and other magical bits. After looking at the tarot cards for a small while, I went to walk away and all of a sudden, this pack of tarot cards called The Tarot of the Old Path jumped out of the shelf and fell next to me. I knew they were the ones for me as they weren't even close to the edge, they were pushed right back into the shelf, and flew out of their deep shelf hole of approximately 28cm in depth and landed right next to me. Unheard of behaviour for an inanimate object I brought them believing they were the ones and they always proved to be spot on since. Although that deck got stolen and I replaced them with another Tarot of the Old Path. A fine deck to be sure Harmony. xo
Thank you for this video! Just got interested in tarot and u provided all the basic most important info i was looking for :) going to try out some things today! Thanks again 🌸🌱
Hi Harmony! I wanted to say that I love your channel and I really enjoy watching your videos, you're awesome! I've also been wondering if you could do another tarot related video about diffrent ways to read in Tarot card. I'm a beginner and I am very curious about them and the various ways they could be read.
One time my cards weren't giving me the answers I wanted, so I kept redoing the reading and being really stubborn. I went to shuffle them to start fresh after pulling a bunch of cards in frustration and the Fool fell out. 😂 I was like FINE I GET IT ahaha
amanda æshley haha they certainly had something to say.
lol why do i find this funny 😂
amanda æshley hahahahahaha
YOU FOOL!
that's amazing XD

So, one day when I was 9 and I went to buy my first tarot card set my father took me to a second hand market. I found these beautiful tarot cards and I bought them. The first day when I brought them home I sat up on my dining table and began shuffling, suddenly a black shadow along with a cold breeze went past both me and my mom. Ever since then no matter how many good intentions I had with the cards it bought negativity into my family. I have removed the cards from my life and now own a positive new set of cards and all has been doing fine. Be cautious people and try not to buy second hand Wicca products as we don’t know the intentions the previous owner of the object used. Stay safe people and may you all be protected
Let me just say sage that shit if you buy any kind of tarot cards
it may be because you bought them from a secondhand shop. it is usually recommended that you be the first person to own the tarot cards as previous owners negative energy can linger in the cards
@@elizabethburke169 my friend gave me a deck and i saged the hell out of it,put it in salt with rose quartz and left them out side every night for almost a full moon cycle. There was something attached to them that was dark and just so much yuck. In the end after many nightmares for me and my husband i banished and burned them. Even took the ashes and buried them out in the desert. She got those from a friend who bought them new.
Nice
That’s why I never buy second hand. I always buy new
Yeah there was definitely some negative energy attached to the second hand cards
I am not following any religion, but i accidentally found you a few months ago and I've been researching Wicca since. I definitely believe I found you for a reason.
I’m in the same boat now. For the first time in many years I am feeling receptive to any type of religiosity. I feel at peace on this channel and with Harmony. I hope that continues.
i love how I'm gradually getting sweaty and red throughout the video lol sorry i felt ill ahahahah
Hope you're feeling better now
girl thank you for droppin all your knowledge on us! Super helpful. Do you do snapchat/twitter? Would love to follow more on your Endeavors as much as I can!
Harmony Nice can I ask where did you get the candle in the background from? I love them so much, and know you can get them in Southampton but never seen them in Norwich
Wiccan is so interesting ! I just feel I would be confused a lot of If I started but I'm guessing that's common...just don't know how to start.What if you're ambidextrous ? So do you just choose one hand to use?
how do you know what the card mean, are the meanings somewhere for you to read and learn or it means whatever you think it means from what the picture shows?
You are seriously so funny 😂😂 "the cards aren't cursed by the devil when they come out of the machine" 😂😂
I understand that the Wiccan altar is very personal to the individual but I think a lot of people, including myself, would be really interested in a video about yours - provided you are comfortable sharing that with us, of course!
Plz do make a video on meditating with tarot cards and meditation!!!
Maeve Goodan I hope she saw this suggestion. It would be an interesting topic!
I'd love to see this too!
I like how you title the video “How I use them” rather than “how to use them” 🙏🏼
i live for this wicca series , thank you ! it was lovely as usual
Just to clarify, because I've noticed that many people in the comments are unaware of that: You don't have to be a Wiccan to read the Tarot. In fact, you don't even have to be a witch.

An if ye harm none, do what ye will. Im glad you said this bc ppl should be aware of each tools origins and why they work as well as they do.
Ok
10:20 I only learned this later in life: that the tarot isn’t dangerous. I think it’s because I was taught that these cards were used to communicate with spirits, kinda like a Ouija board. I don’t know where that idea came from. But I’ve found these cards to be great for self-reflection and meditation.
Thanks for the info I'm now ive been
educated
It probably came from movies where “voodoo” people commonly use tarot
If you were raised christian, it says in the bible we shouldnt touch anything divination. But I think that means communicating with the dead.
@@mckeysayshi yeah. I remember that. Divination is the act of for telling the future. It can involve talking to spirits, but not always.
Just an experience I wanted to share. I have always been interested in Tarot since my Grandma had her own set of cards and one day I asked her to do me just a normal reading. Her being Roman Catholic absolutely freaked out once The Devil appeared for little seven years old me. I didn't know at the time why though. So I began doing research on meanings of the cards (and also my obsession with palm reading) at the age of 10 things that were seemingly common sense to me was miracle guesswork to others. Although I never owned my own set of cards until recently. My mom as always been in arts and crafts and she bought this 3D "painting" where you put tiny little rocks in a picture. This picture was of a beautiful lady standing in the snow with two wolves. (Other imagery that I always liked for some reason). One week after she finishes the painting I go with her into her favourite incense shop which also has crystals, meditation CDs and Tarot Cards. There was a variety of sets and knowing that this was my chance to finally get one I decided to do so. I picked up the closed boxes that I connected to the most but I was undecided between two. In the end, I picked the set I have called "Legends" by Anne Stokes.
Even though it's my first set I feel like it's the set for me. As when I arrived home and spread out all my cards to see their beauty imagine my surprise when the Queen of Cups was the same exact picture my mom painted. I had no clue that the original illustration was by this Artist neither did I knew it was part of a Tarot Card Set. It really felt like I made the best decision.
Only recently have decided to go into Wicca and Witchcraft investigation since I have always been fascinated by both. So I know that these videos are old but thank you for them from the bottom of my heart. It helps me a lot to have them.

For several decades I have used the tarot to do next-day forecasts for myself and to conduct next-week forecasts. In every one of those hundreds and thousands of forecasts, the cards hit the bull's-eye every time. They never fail to tell you exactly what is coming up in the future. As long as you shuffle the cards thoroughly, they will tell you whatever you want to know about your past, present, or future. And with flawless exactitude. They will give you far more than "general guidance" about the future. They will give you pinpoint accuracy 100 percent of the time. Thorough shuffling is the key. When conducting a several-card reading, I never fail to riffle shuffle and double-cut my deck a full fifteen times. In this way, I achieve 100 percent accuracy 100 percent of the time in divinations about the past, present, or future.
My grandmother is very spiritual and she gave me cat tarot cards. They are the same as the people ones but they have cats on them. Can I use these?
tAtUm McLaNeY yes! If you feel comfortable with them. Tarot decks come in all sorts and themes, a cat set sounds awsome. Just play around with them and see if you feel like you can work with the deck.
PLEASE use those. They sound so adorable
it sounds like it looks cute, you should totally use it.
Tatum McLaney if you adore the pictures and feel connected to them...also a gifted tarot deck is a very good thing
Probably, because at my local witchcrafty shop there are loads of sets and they are all different, so there are the regular ones, ones with Wiccan symbols, ones with unicorns and fairies all over them, etc. As long as they are Tarot cards you can use them! I'm gonna go to that shop and buy some tomorrow, thats why I'm on this video lol
Have you memorized the meaning of each tarot card, or do you read the meaning from the pamphlet/ book that comes with most cards? Could you make separate videos that go more into depth on the different spreads?
Hannah Rose download the labryinthos app, it helps
Use your intuition. How your life background leads to interpret the card images, that's an insight to its meaning. There are no strict rules for this.
Hannah Rose the quick and easy rider Waite deck has the meanings ( and reversed meanings ) on every card no book needed
another tip when you begin is to ask questions about your past, that you alreayd know the answer as a way to test the cards
Learn about how the symbolism works on the cards. They are meant to be interpreted, not memorized. Learn how the language of tarot works.
I was going through a really hard time, I was way past breaking point and felt like I was going crazy. I needed help and guidance and bought tarot and oracle decks in desperation and honestly since I've started using them I've felt a WHOLE lot more at peace with myself. My grandfather had bought me my first deck a while ago but it disappeared unfortunately. I think someone came in my room and tossed them, but anyway I love these new ones and respect them. They calmed the storm going on in my head. I stopped having nightmares every night after receiving their guidance (coupled with calm classical music to sleep). So I will continue learning as much as I can about tarot, thanks for the video!
So helpful! I'd love to see the episode on meditating :) hope you're feeling better!
Amy G I would love to see an episode on meditation as well
That's so interesting! Now I wanna get a tarot deck
Please do more research. There are many who believe that doing things like playing with Tarot, is actually communicating with demons. I'd be one of those people who believes that. My mother read Tarot cards all my life, and the outcome was dangerous... it's not a game, and it's not for fun, and honestly, no one should be doing this.
I respect your opinion however, it is up to everyone what they choose to do- I hope you haven't scared the OP too much! I love the idea of tarot cards, however I always try to find reason in everything and unfortunately I find it hard to think of them as anything more than pieces of paper. I also used to be scared of demons, you need to remember that in the slight chance that they are real- you are a strong human and they can do you no harm:)
Gizmo Rose Of course it's up to everyone what they choose to do - I'm not suggesting it isn't. I'm just saying it's not a good idea. It's also not a good idea to run on the train tracks in front of on oncoming train. If I told someone to get off the tracks when a train is coming, would you feel the need to let me know that it's up to everyone what they choose to do? Demons can and do harm humans... and the human arrogance that believes they can't, is exactly what allows them to harm us in the first place. The spiritual realm is no playground.
I personally think you should. I've had other people read my tarot cards, I've read my own, and I never have had any bad or negative experience with them. I think there is a balance with everything, so don't overdo it and ask any possible question, but when you do need insight, if it's done correctly, you should become a bit more enlightened. They have always accurately represented me and my life, so I love them. I just got my very own and I'm just ecstatic. If you do get some, I would suggest getting one that you are drawn to instead of just one that looks pretty. I think that they are the universe and spirits around us telling us what might possibly happen in the future. I, in no way, think it's associated with demons.
I really like the idea of an enchanted endeavours video on meditation/meditation with tarots!
Lucy J yes!! I would love it Harmony would do this!!
The way I like to explain tarot cards is that they base their answers off the path you are following at that moment, thus why people get multiple readings. If your path changes, the same question doesn't always receive the same answer. :) just my own personal view,
love these videos!!
I'm a Christian and believe very strongly that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. I have a deck of tarot cards and use them to force myself to look at my present situation with a different perspective because I have a tendency to lock onto the first conclusion I come to. Whenever I shuffle I ask my guardian angels to guide the cards.
Ashley Heymer I'm glad people are afraid to blend beliefs and see that everything isn't so black and white :) the idea of only one religion being entirely the truth is preposterous to me, so I'm glad you are able to create your own experience as I do :)
Ashley Heymer Same. Tarot is really a mirror of self reflection--how could that be a bad thing?
Ashley Heymer you should be ashamed of your self did you not know that tarot cards are manipulated by demons Jesus has prohibited that witchcraft
jesus n'stuff Did you not know that cards are just pieces of paper? Is someone else doing it harming you? No, so calm down.
jesus n'stuff you're such an uneducated fucking idiot 🙄 this is exactly why Christianity is bullshit and no, I'm not a satanist just have common sense
Are there any books that you recommend for beginner Wiccan's and tarot card readers?
Jalisa Zimmerman tarot plain and simple by Antony Louis is a good book
Jalisa Zimmerman the Rider Waite tarot deck is the beginner deck, though the first deck I got was the shadowscapes tarot deck. Shadowscapes deck is very beautiful and detailed, I love mine ❤️
Jalisa Zimmerman download the labryinthos app it helps so much!!
char miller I actually checked out the app and downloaded it... obviously I will be doing more research and learning than just that but it does really help. It's a fun and easy way to familiarize oneself with tarot cards and their meanings and practice readings and such. Definitely recommend 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Harmony Nice made a book called Wicca
14:22 was shuffling my cards with you here and out popped The Lovers card😂tarot can be so silly!!
I just want to comment as possibly someone who is a minority in your subscribers, I am not a Wiccan and have never given it much thought. however since stumbling onto your channel I am really looking forward to watching some more of your videos and learning more about it. it seems like a really interesting religion and the way you deliver in an open minded way accepting of other people's interpretation is really refreshing and lovely. ignore I've said something incorrectly or am a bit ignorant in this comment then I apologise, it wasn't my intention and I am slowly working on my ignorance :) thanks for the video xx
Maddie Burton This is beautiful. Welcome!
Weirdly enough, I've noticed a lot of similarities to how we perceive Wicca and do certain things, such as tarot, for example. Cool stuff, thanks for the good content.
So when I found you, it was on your intro to wicca video and my first thought was that you're unearthly pretty and like that needs to be illegal and I thought you deserved to know.
your way of explaining things is awesome, youd be the best teacher. "and all these spirits dont come down and are like 'fuck u' " lol
Alyssa Riordan best line ever.
I generally prefer to use one tarot set for my own readings, & another for when I'm giving friends/ family council. I don't used the cards commercially, but it just feels weird that I may have to share something I have a personal connection with for others.
I think I disagree about the "you can't use more than one tarot deck" thing. I've been reading tarot for about 7 years now (I started at about 16) and I can honestly say, even though I own multiple decks, my readings are still good and valid. Just as you can have different friends, and having more than one doesn't invalidate your friendship with another, so too can you have multiple decks. You may know some better, or be better or older "friends" with some, however you can still *have* and *use* more than one. I find I have some that I use for readings with friends; some I won't let other people touch because I feel they are attuned to me; other decks are special and I use only occasionally when I feel drawn to them. I even have a mini tarot deck I carry around with me (I find shuffling it soothing). idk I have a thing for tarot and oracle decks, and I really enjoy making my own too, so ymmv on this haha
but she didnt say that..... she said its okay to have more than one but use one at a time...? and shes correct.
Almadala yes she did, at 6:33
What cards do you have?
i think she means don't use cards from different sets in one reading, so don't mix up the different decks
Noreena Loftus Fastl I have like 40 decks lol. But I have been drawn very much to the Everyday Witch deck at the moment. The Wild Unknown is very popular right now; check out Sacred Seed on YT she has good videos
I started with tarot cards after I started playing the game "The Arcana" and I was facsinated with them. This game is also what mostly got me into witchcraft. There are 2 cards I feel very drawn to and deem them as "my cards", and those are Ace of Cups (upright and reversed) and The Moon.
My dad bought me my first set, from Barnes and noble, and I have connected with it, I do have small hands so shuffling is hard, the first kind of readings I was doing was with playing cards, and I really connected with them, and the treating it like a person made total sense I really like your thumbnails, they are so aesthetically appealing, and pretty, I also really like this series ❤️
I recently bought my first tarot deck and I'm so happy I take it with me everywhere; now I don't feel that crazy for doing it hahah thank you for making this video and I hope we'll see the meditation with tarot cards and meditation in wicca soon ! take care! xxx
Everytime I watch your videos your good vibe makes me fell so good. So glad I subscribe💕
This is very inspiring. I got my tarot as a gift. When my friend (who is into tarot) saw I was interested, he gifted me his book of tarot to help me better understand it. But when I asked my parents to buy me tarot they bought me a nice deck, but I couldn't connect with them. Then a year later my other friend gifted me tarot for fun, and it was the tarot from the book that meant so much to me, so in the end the tarot found me. :)
I've been doing tarot for awhile but I haven't been studying up on it like I should. Great video! I found it so informative.
PLEASE GO ON! It's so amazing and really sooths my ancienties about the spiritual realm. Most of the time I don't actually practice because of my family enviroment, but I really feel in peace with wiccan teaching and witchcraft
I love how you explain whether tarot cards tell the future. I believe the future is very much so multifaceted and she explains it beautifully
In my opinion I think it's a good idea to sage your tarot cards before you use them or put a protection charm near you or on you so no bad things can manipulate your reading or do anything evil. I'm not expert that's just what someone in my family said they said to me when I got my first tarot card deck to always sage them before using and to thank them for there time when your done using them
I love this series. I'm very new to wicca and the information you provide has helped me in more ways than I could possibly put into words. Thank you for making this series.
I literally never thought to use my tarot for spellwork! Honestly, that was just a whole body epiphany you gave me. Thank you!
My cards get mad at me if I read them over and over again on the same subject, they tend to get snippy.
Thank you, this is very helpful as I am now studying tarot cards reading. I've come to your channel shortly before my first tarot desk arrived today. Thanks for the advice of making friend with the cards, it's really helpful and heartwarming as I also love to do this type of things as well. It's a blessing to have found your channel today 🌬️
I followed you years ago! Like 2015 & as I changed I sadly unsubscribed and stumbled upon your TH-cam again, I love this series and glad I’ve found you again!! Much love
On having multiple tarot decks - I connect with both of my decks in different ways and use them for different types of readings. The first deck I ever got was simple and straightforward, it basically tells me to cut the bullshit lol. My second deck is much deeper and great for meditation or complex readings - currently, it's the one i use more often. (it's the Hermetic Tarot deck!) I believe it's perfectly alright to have connection with more than one deck, because not all decks are universally suited for all types of readings. That being said, decks like Rider-Waite and Universal Golden Tarot - even the rather popular Wild Unknown - are generally good for most types of readings. looooove your witchcraft/wicca series! :)
As a fellow tarot reader, this is so amazing 😘
Slightly got excited to see that we have the same set. Haven't used them yet but excited to start and learn more about them!
I have my own set of tarot cards that I have been painting for a bit with different animals that on each card (seven of Swords is a bunny dropping knives, death is a snake and a skull, etc etc) and I can't wait to for them to dry and for me to be able to do my first reading with them!
tarot is such a personal experience, loved seeing your methods
Really impressed with the way you covered the basics of tarot cards. You made it easy to follow for those who might be just starting or thinking about starting. 😊👍
This video was fantastic. I've been doing a lot of self study and it's great to see other people practice.
I'd love to listen to information about meditation (and taro cards) :)
Watching your videos are so helpful because you actually did get me interested in Wicca^^
Ok so let me explain this-I saw witchcraft and got interested but the religions Wiccan and pagan confused me so much and I couldn’t understand any of it, I came upon you and this series and IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE now- what I mean to say is...
THANK YOU💛
Thank you so-so-so much for this series! It is so encouraging for me to watch someone with similar credo do things that I am fond of😍 I wish you all the best and hope you will continue doing videos like this! Blessed be🌟
Super super helpful! Thank you! Being in a small town I don't have many people to go to for questions like this. Thank the gods for the internet and for people like you 👏❤️😊
You explained the used and purposes of tarot really well! Thank you
Thank you for this video ! I really like to hear other tarot cards reader talking about their experiences. I personally connect with set that have been designed a very long time ago like Solar busca or tarot of Marseille because I connect a lot with the past ❤️
I'm a devout Roman Catholic who also uses tarot cards and it was great to hear that even though we come from (seemingly) quite different religious beliefs, we share this view of tarot cards that it's not about the future, but seeing our lives as they are, as we already know them to be and to move through our lives more aware. Interesting video.
Yes! Please do a video on using tarot cards with meditation. I have started using crystals in my meditation and would also love to use my new tarot set in meditation!
you should talk more about spellwork and different spells. im so interested.
Anais Alexandre does some
how do you know if you should read the challenge card as reversed or right side up??
Really love your videos and this series, I love to study about different religion. You are not crazy tarot cards have their own characters (might be due to their art work) and treating them as a person and wanting to know them is what I did as well. I have been using tarot cards for 12 years now, and started to use 2 deck in one reading, one for what is show in the surface and what is in the deeper level such as thoughts or what is not really shown to the person.
I completely agree to interview your deck not crazy at all! You have to come to the understanding of why your deck came to you! The sun card came up for me when I interviewed my deck :)
My first and only deck is the Healing Light deck and I love it so much. The differences between the shadows, light, and location of the mandaloras all help to add depth to the initial reading.
I know its good research and get information from different people but sometimes I forget there's other youtubers that talk about witchcraft😅 most of the things I've felt were right for me specifically and my beliefs are either most of the time the same as yours or similar and I think it's really cool that someone more experienced than me sees things like I do, your literally my mentor and I'm happy I found your channel because somethings I dont know about you explain it where I understand wayyy better than with other people.
Funny story: both my mother and I are spiritual, but I began practicing my spirituality actively before her, and It has always been easy for me, or at least not too hard. I’ve never been interested in tarot, but my mother ordered a deck. I opened it with her, and I tried it out with her. I felt really drawn to it for some reason. A few days later, she knocked at my door and told me “ it's yours.” She admitted she couldn’t connect to it, and it had chosen my energy. So, I have a deck now
10:55 hahaha!😂 thank you for this upload, it was really helpful♥️
This series is wonderful. I can't wait to hear more, especially about meditating!!
Hey Harmony! I love your Enchanted endeavours videos
this was so insightful!! i just started learning tarot and its always good to learn new information. i love this series.
I'm so grateful for you. I've been having weird realizations lately, including deleting social media lately.. I feel like I hit this time where everything is meant to come together and make sense.. I saw your videos in my recommended and I feel like I was meant to end up here.
I just bought tarot a few weeks ago, and just starting my faith in Wicca and I stumbled upon your videos! Subscribing right away! Thank you for posting such informative videos ♥️
Tarot is so cool because I can ask a question and if a card flies out and I’m not sure about the card, Everytime I shuffle the same card will always pop out no matter what.
How do you deal with flyers - so cards that fly out of your deck while you're shuffling?
Ty McFly I personally take them out, if they fall out while shuffling I feel like it's obvious that they shouldn't be in there ☺️
Ty McFly I always keep them to the side as sort of things to keep in mind. But, I still keep drawing cards for the spread.
Ty McFly I see them as important, like they wanted to be seen and read
Ty McFly well heres a quick story everytime my mother has read tarrot cards and the death card has fallen out someone dies in my family... so for her she knows this as a warning sign and tells everyone that they need to watch out.... unfortunately it still happens... to her she says its a symbolic warning and gives her time to appreciate those around her.. so ive always gone by if it falls out something along the lines of what that card means will occur or is occuring
I place them to the side because I personally believe that those cards are "jumping" out at you and want to be read.
A couple of years back I was in a shop with my family and I came upon this Wicca book and I don’t know what it was at the time but it looks interesting so I got it and took it home I love it it was so interesting to me but my life and school got in the way of me learning more about Wicca, I’m 16 now and I’ve found that book again after I thought I’d lost it and Wicca videos keep popping up on TH-cam and tiktok for me I think it a sign that I should start again and stick to it .
This was so helpful! I just ordered my first deck and it's witch themed, which may be a little odd, but I really liked the look of it and I guess we'll see how it goes.
I just found you today and I just started learning tarot cards like last week aha I love it I am writing my own book full of info on them and found what you said to be very accurate to what I've come across and helpful! Thank you subbed :DD!!!
Please do a video on Wiccan Meditation! (: Your videos are all so wonderful, and all very informative. Thank you so much Harmony!
A video on meditating with tarot cards and just meditating in general would be awesome! Love your videos 😍😍✨
i just bought my second deck of tarot cards!! they come via Amazon on Tuesday! i got the rider waite deck :)
I just did my first tarot reading and it was beyond and in sightful and made a lot more sense than I was thinking.
I just started and it already makes so much sense! I'm so happy with the effectiveness. Probably a personal thing, but I personally find this very useful, even just using the major archena.
Update: it helped me come out. I knew exactly what to do with the new insight. I've always been really skeptical, but her 10 card strategy proved weirdly specific to the situation.....I couldn't have arranged it to tell the story better myself.
Me too!
your videos are so enlightening! I didn't know that tarot cards were used in wicca
I've just subscribed! I'm really enjoying your perspective on wicca so far!
I don't tend to use tarot cards very often, I don't even have my own set (I would love to get one someday, but I can get a little weird about what draws me to it), but when I do on occasion use tarot cards I don't have any specific goal or question in mind. I try to see what I end up with, and keep that in mind in daily activities. Kind of like a reminder to focus on certain things, or keep an eye out for others.
Bought myself a new deck, I can’t find my other one right now, and I found the Tattoo Tarot deck, and it’s gorgeous :) traditional tattoo style, and lovely faces.
You’d probably like this deck Harmony!
can you do a video about how you set up your alter if you feel comfortable enough to share. thnx
Sorry to spam your older videos with comments, I'm jsut starting out and your channel has been the biggest help to me :)
Just wanted to chime in about the shuffling, I'm just like you in that I'm weirdly uncoordinated with shuffling cards, but I have a very logic-minded partner who told me the best way to shuffle cards is to divide them up into piles like you're dealing people into a card game. For instance, if there's 100 cards, divide them equally into 10 piles. For absolute mathematical randomisation you can do it twice, but for me personally I feel like that's overkill.
i would like if you would go more in depth about how to read tarot readings. ive struggled with this since ive had my deck because different sources have different takes on the card's meanings.
If you have problems to find a meaning on a card, maybe it's best to think what your meaning is. Like, if you see a card, that you can "sense" what it means.
Your beauty is literally distracting to the video! Lol. I missed about a minute of info because I was thinking about how gorgeous you are.
i was in emergency for an overnight stay a few months ago at the hospital and i had my tarot cards in my mini back pack and when i got home the next day i pulled them out and inside with my deck a nurse had written on a sticky note that tarot cards are the devils tool and will wreak havic on my life and to get myself blessed by a priest immediately. i couldnt believe that a nurse had stuck that in there.
This was a very insightful video and I appreciate your content greatly. I will say though that with some tarot cards especially if they were given as a gift could possibly have a something attached to them if not you yourself. I had a terrible experience the first time I tried them. I got a very overwhelming negative energy, began balling, and getting paranoid. I disposed of the cards. I think it was completely my fault for dabbling with questions right off the bat about a God, heaven, and hell. The answers were VERY specific. Anyway like you stated though a person should connect with their cards & feel for the right ones!
Just bought my first tarot deck so I'm rewatching this video. So helpful :)
I use the tarot of the old path. I was out shopping many years ago and as usual was drawn into the crystal shop. I looked at their tarot cards, as the Crystle shops here in Australia also sell candles, tarot cards, book and other magical bits. After looking at the tarot cards for a small while, I went to walk away and all of a sudden, this pack of tarot cards called The Tarot of the Old Path jumped out of the shelf and fell next to me. I knew they were the ones for me as they weren't even close to the edge, they were pushed right back into the shelf, and flew out of their deep shelf hole of approximately 28cm in depth and landed right next to me. Unheard of behaviour for an inanimate object I brought them believing they were the ones and they always proved to be spot on since. Although that deck got stolen and I replaced them with another Tarot of the Old Path. A fine deck to be sure Harmony. xo
Thank you for this video! Just got interested in tarot and u provided all the basic most important info i was looking for :) going to try out some things today! Thanks again 🌸🌱
everytime you say something like "don't think i'm crazy, but..." (insert here things i always believed)
hahah
love your content ♥
Hi Harmony! I wanted to say that I love your channel and I really enjoy watching your videos, you're awesome!
I've also been wondering if you could do another tarot related video about diffrent ways to read in Tarot card. I'm a beginner and I am very curious about them and the various ways they could be read.
please do a video about meditating with tarot cards! i am very interested
Thank you so much for making these videos because they really do help!!!!
I just bought my first deck! It's the Night Sun tarot. Thank you for your videos! 💜
