Alright, alright, let’s talk about this here Egyptian Tarot Guidebook thing. You know, the cards with all them fancy pictures? Yeah, that’s the one. Don’t go gettin’ all flustered now, it ain’t as hard as milkin’ a cow on a cold mornin’, I promise ya.
First off, what IS this Egyptian Tarot anyhow? Well, it’s a bunch of cards, see? Got pictures on ‘em. Some folks say they can tell ya the future with ‘em, some say they just help ya think straight. Me? I say, it don’t hurt none to try, long as ya don’t go bettin’ the farm on it. This here guidebook, it’s supposed to help ya understand them pictures, make sense of it all. Like, why there’s a picture of a bird, or a cat, or some fella with a funny hat.
- The Basics: Don’t get yourself all tangled up in fancy book learnin’. You don’t need to know no big words or complicated stories. Just look at the pictures. What do ya see? What do ya feel? That’s the important part. This ain’t no school test, it’s about what’s in your heart.
- The Pictures: Each card got a different picture, right? Well, that picture means somethin’. Like, if you see a picture of the sun, that’s probably a good thing, right? Sunshine makes things grow, keeps ya warm. If you see a picture of a storm cloud, well, maybe trouble’s brewin’. It ain’t rocket science, see? Just plain common sense.
Now, some folks get all hung up on the Egyptian part. They think they gotta know all about them pharaohs and pyramids and whatnot. Look, it’s nice if ya do, but it ain’t necessary. Think of it like this: a chicken is a chicken, whether you call it a “poultry” or a “clucker”. The important thing is the chicken, not the fancy name. Same goes for these cards. The pictures tell the story, not the history lesson. Don’t let them big words scare ya.
So, how do ya use this here guidebook? Well, it’s simple. Ya look at the card ya pulled, then ya look up that card in the book. The book will tell ya what that picture usually means. But here’s the thing, don’t just take the book’s word for it. Think about what the picture means to YOU. Maybe that picture of a bird means somethin’ different to you than it does to me. And that’s okay! It’s your readin’, your feelin’s, your story.
Let’s say you pull a card with a picture of a cat on it. Now, I like cats. They’re independent, they’re clever, they keep the mice outta the barn. So, to me, that cat card might mean bein’ independent, takin’ care of yourself, bein’ smart about things. But maybe you got bit by a cat when you was a young’un. Then that cat card might mean somethin’ different to you. Maybe it means bein’ careful, watchin’ your back, not trustin’ everythin’ ya see. See what I mean? It’s all about what it means to YOU.
And don’t go gettin’ all worried about doin’ it “right”. There ain’t no “right” way to read these cards. It’s like makin’ a stew. Everybody makes it a little different, but it still fills your belly, right? Same with the cards. Just trust your gut, listen to your heart, and let the pictures guide ya. This guidebook is just here to give ya a little help along the way.
- Spreads: Some folks like to lay out the cards in fancy patterns, called spreads. Like, three cards in a row, or a cross, or somethin’. That’s fine, if you like that sort of thing. But you don’t HAVE to. You can just pull one card, if that’s all ya want. Or three cards, or five. It’s up to you. Don’t let nobody tell ya different.
- Practice: The more ya use the cards, the better ya get at understandin’ ‘em. It’s like anything else, right? The first time ya milked a cow, ya probably made a mess. But after a while, it gets easier. So don’t give up if ya don’t get it right away. Just keep practicin’, and you’ll figure it out.
And most importantly, don’t take it too serious. These cards ain’t magic. They ain’t gonna tell ya the winnin’ lottery numbers or who yer gonna marry. They’re just tools, like a hoe or a shovel. They can help ya dig deep inside yourself, figure out what yer thinkin’ and feelin’. But ya still gotta do the work. Ya still gotta plant the seeds, water the garden, and harvest the crops. The cards just help ya see the way.
So, there ya have it. A plain and simple guide to this here Egyptian Tarot. Don’t let all the fancy talk fool ya. It’s just pictures and stories, same as it’s always been. Just trust yourself, listen to your heart, and let the cards guide ya. And if ya get stuck, well, that’s what this here guidebook is for. Now go on and give it a try. What’s the worst that could happen?
