The World and Strength in Tarot Card Reading and Tarot Shuffling Methods

 

By: Jackson Swift

The World card is the last card in the tarot deck. It depicts a woman or androgynous individual, usually naked. The person wears a crown made out of laurel leaves, or is surrounded by a green wreath. The person also holds a staff in both hands, and commands various creatures around her.

Psychic reading through the tarot deck, the Fool travels through the entire world in search for an adventure, wholeheartedly throwing himself into the unknown. After meeting all of the human archetypes in the Major Arcana, he is back where he started. It shows a balance and harmony of body and mind, and the completion of something significant. It represents something closing and ending successfully. Usually, this card is drawn for things that are worked hard for. In psychic advice aside from being a sign of accomplishment and success, it also shows that the person is quite content and fulfilled with their current state. This card represents the zodiac signs Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio according to online psychics.

Meanwhile, the eight cards is the Strength card. It is represented by a female taming a lion. In older cards, it is called Fortitude or Lust. It shows a sense of control and discipline for the drawer. It symbolizes compassion and softness. However, it dominates over those around her, taming everyone through her inner strength, stability, and composure. It also represents creativity and sexual prowess.

Here are several ways to shuffle tarot cards. In a tarot reading session, you may be asked to shuffle the cards so your touch can make the reading more personal. If the session is an online tarot reading, the reader may do the shuffling for you.

The following are ways to shuffle tarot cards:

1.The Riffle Shuffle – The same way you shuffle common playing cards, as in the game of poker. Split the deck in to two halves and hold them with one hand each with the cards facing down. The bottom card of one half goes over the bottom card of the other. Cards are intermingled as they drop to the surface of the table alternately. This assures a thorough mixing of the cards. It’s somewhat difficult to do this for bigger tarot cards.

2.Weave shuffle – Intermingle the cards by holding half the deck in one hand and another have in the other hand. Insert both halves into each other either by their long side or their short side. Once both halves have been pushed together, square them up.

3.Scrambling – Spread all the cards face down on the table and start to move them around and mix them up. You might need a bigger table for this shuffle method.

4.Hindu Shuffle – Hold the deck with the thumb and the middle finger of the left hand. The thumb, middle finger and righ finger of the right hand touch the side of the deck with the index finger staying out. The right hand takes a portion of cards from the top of the deck. Let the separated cards fall onto the palm of the right hand, stopping it with the index finger. Repeat several times.

5.Overhand method – Hold the deck with your right hand by the short sides. Keep your thumb on top. The left hand grips the deck and lifts off as the thumb locks down a few cards. Move the thumb out of the way as the left hand comes down to take a few more cards. The action is repeated several times.

6.Push/Put Method – popularized by Norma Cowie, this is done by holding the deck face down in your right hand (or the dominant hand). Push some cards from the top of the deck with your thumb into the other hand. Next, push from the bottom of the deck. Alter the pushing of cards from the top and from the bottom. The entire deck ends up in your other hand already shuffled.
