Celtic Tarot

Product Information

The Celtic tarot achieves an extraordinary connection with those who feel admiration for the magic of mythological beings and nature. Being based on the Celtic culture, fantastic creatures play an important role as happens in that of fairies. This card reflects that which is within the subconscious realm of the querent and delves much deeper into the core foundation of the situation. It symbolises the underlying feelings and trends associated with the situation and can indicate what is truly driving the querent. This card may bring a surprise message to the querent, particularly if they are not deeply connected to their inner being (watch out for reversed cards here which are likely to indicate that this is an ‘unknown’ to the querent). Card 7: Advice The Knight is a rather somber figure. His hair sweeps across his sorrowful face, as chilling winds blow across the landscape. Symbols of death are around him: crows, hover above, and the flowers he holds are wilted. This is Balin, the Knight who killed the Lady of the Lake. Card 5 and Card 6 - Is there a connection between the conscious and the unconscious? Does the querent’s hidden and underlying motivations match with their assumptions and desires?

This layout is so well known that even tarot beginners must have probably heard of this spread.Explore the World major arcana tarot card with this tarot spread. Since the World is the final card of the Fool's Journey, it represents completion... Love your app! I’m wondering when you do a physical spread like the Celtic Cross, do you flip all the cards and then explain the whole spread? Or do you flip, explain, flip, explain as you go? If that makes sense. By using the power from both the earth and the spirits, you can get a better vision of the future and receive a guide to solve the problems that will come. How does it work? Are the cards in these two positions aligned? This may be the most important interaction to understand in the entire spread.

This card represents what is likely to occur within the next few weeks or even months. This is not the final outcome, simply the next step on the journey. Card 5: Above This card represents what is happening to the querent at the present time. It also reflects the querent’s state of mind and how they may be perceiving the situation. Card 2: The challenge This book is a guide to the process of death and offers a soothing hand that seeks to comfort the spirit and offer answers to the unknowingness of death. This sequential, deeply personal journey follows the author's life through the kingdom of the dead and into the realms of the spirit. Based on his experiences working in the mortuary field, the author found himself on the path of spirit in the Celtic tradition and developed a deeply spiritual understanding of the process of death and the questions that it evokes.In this reading, the cards interact with each other, each movement has a reason and a clear objective. Similarly, Davis’s three of swords card suggests a different interpretation than the usual. It shows two crossed swords, surmounted by a third, larger sword. Paterson gives this a sinister interpretation, no doubt influenced by the card’s usual meaning. She writes: “The two crossed swords are surmounted by a third sword and has split (sic) a previous alliance. […] The intruding sword is pointed toward the heart of the querent when drawn. It signifies tears and sorrow.” Looking at the picture, however, the third sword does not seem to have split up an alliance; it is not between the two other swords, but rather lying over them. Moreover, Davis’s art on the sword pips generally represents discord with flashing energy bolts, but this card has none. Indeed, this card looks to me much more like a ceremonial arrangement of swords, such as one would find at an oath-swearing, rather than a battle. In the Celtic context, it is most reminiscent of the practice of choosing a high-king, or high chieftain, to eliminate internecine struggles and unite warring tribes against larger enemies—the historical Vercingetorix and the legendary Arthur were both leaders of this type. Significantly, both Arthur and Vercingetorix were on the losing side of history. In the Celtic context, then, an arrangement like this of three swords may connote useful and noble cooperation, and valiant effort, that nonetheless are doomed ultimately to fail. This would make the card’s meaning different from Paterson’s, but give it some of the general flavor found in typical interpretations of the three of swords.

Compare the Below and Hopes/Fears cards (Cards 6 and 9). If you are finding it difficult to interpret the Hopes/Fears, have a look at what is happening at the subconscious level within the querent (Card 6). Is there something in their subconscious realm that is creating fear or hope? If you see reversed cards in these positions, then it is likely the querent is not yet aware of their subconscious drivers and how this is impacting them in the ‘real world’. My name is Eva Delattre. I have been a clairvoyant and tarologist for almost 30 years, and I am offering a free reading of the tarot.

The Power card can offer suggestions for meeting the challenge. The House, however, represents what the querent must accept. This card is known as the significator. When the tarot reading is performed, the first card is placed directly on top of this significator. The larger cross consists of two lines that overlay the smaller cross. The horizontal line (Cards 1, 3 and 4) shows time moving from the past on the left into the future on the right. The vertical line (Cards 1, 5 and 6) is the querent’s consciousness moving from unconscious on the bottom to conscious mind on the top.To truly master the Celtic Cross Tarot Spread, readers must learn to make connections between the different card positions. This is where deeper understanding can be introduced to the reading. Together these six cards give a snapshot of the inner and outer environment at the time of a reading. Compare the Above and Below cards (Cards 5 and 6). Is there a synergy between the conscious and the subconscious levels? Is there alignment between what is driving the querent and what the querent aspires to? If there is alignment, great – it will be a lot easier to resolve the issue. If not, then assist the querent in understanding what is happening at the subconscious level and how this may be impacting their response to the issue.
