Synchronicity with Cards

You might ask, "How is synchronicity involved in selecting cards for a reading?"

Many people believe that there's no such thing as a coincidence. If that's the case, then just by your intention, "To choose a card which teaches you something about your current experience," then the whole universe becomes involved in fulfilling it.

Henry Ford I is widely known to have said, "Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're right!" In my way of thinking "believing" something makes it so (if only in my reality). Therefore, believing that I'm choosing a card that will have importance "creates" that outcome: the card will hold meaning and importance for me.

If you try this, a few times, you will quickly find that it works. Now, arguably, it could be your intuition "grasping at straws" to provide a meaningful message based on the card which was arbitrarily chosen. But even if that's the case it's not difficult for me to believe that exactly the right card was chosen which would give your intuition exactly the right clue you need to unravel an aspect of your experience.

This happens all the time when I do readings with my Shaman Stones. I frequently impress people with my "accuracy." But it works just like I explained above: that "thing that is more than coincidence," gives me clues that my intuition can decode and "voila" I tell a stranger something profoundly meaningful to them!

You might have a set of Tarot or other "oracle" cards, but have been unable to understand the book that came with them.

Any system for divination is basically a way to access symbols, and decode them. You can use a book or not, but if you want to "make the cards work," you have to somehow find a way to decode the symbolic meanings. Many people do this by pure intuition. They just "turn over a few cards and say the first few things that come to mind. (If you try this at home, say the first thing no matter how crazy, and avoid second-guessing yourself). Or read the book and figure-out the system they used for encoding the symbolism.

Writing a Business Letter Using Tarot Cards

For a few years now, I've used 2 simple spreads to help me intuit what my clients or prospects want to know about my services and offerings, so I can write more compelling sales letters. With as few as 2 cards you can discern a "strategy" and write a powerful letter that motivates people to act.

The "sales platform" reading will give you a clear idea what the prospect wants and how your offering addresses this.

Your sales platform is your primary service offering and it's unique selling proposition, (hopefully your purpose is to help people by reducing pressure, solving problems or otherwise removing pain).

The spread is simply 2 cards, dealt side-by-side. As you shuffle and cut repeat to yourself "What is the pain my client needs me to heal?" And, "What can I tell them so they choose me to solve their problem?"

For this spread I dealt:

Page of Cups (R)
Lethargy - Not much desire to plan ahead in the face of changing circumstances.

9 of Cups
Wish Card - Future assured. Worries will disappear as new plans materialize.

Now, using a letter with a standard opening and closing, I write two brief paragraphs stating my understanding of their situation (Lack of desire to plan) and my ability to alleviate their pain, (Confidence in planning).

Trust that the Tarot has told you exactly what is going on for them, and don't hesitate to specifically address both their pain and your ability to eliminate it.
