Alright, so you wanna know about this here… bootz tarot, huh? Okay, okay, I’ll tell ya what I know. It ain’t rocket science, even this old woman can kinda get it.
First off, don’t get all flustered by them fancy pictures. They’re just cards, see? Like the ones you use to play Go Fish, but with more… stuff on ‘em. Think of ‘em like stories in pictures, that’s all.
What you need to get started with this bootz tarot:
- A deck of them cards, of course. Don’t go spendin’ a fortune, a regular deck is just fine. They say some fancy Rider-Waite one is good for starters. I seen my grandson with one of them.
- A place to sit and think. Kitchen table works just fine, or your porch swing if the weather’s nice.
- Your brain. And maybe a cup of tea. Helps with the thinkin’.
Now, these cards, they got two main groups. Big ones and little ones. The big ones, they call ‘em Major Arcana. Sounds fancy, right? But it just means they’re about the big stuff in life. You know, like love, death, big changes… that kinda thing. There ain’t that many of ‘em, maybe twenty-somethin’, so you can learn ‘em without too much trouble.
Then you got the little ones, the Minor Arcana. Lots more of these, like fifty-somethin’. They’re about the everyday stuff. Work, money, little problems, little joys. They’re split up into four suits, kinda like playing cards. Cups, Wands, Swords, and Pentacles, they call ‘em. Don’t worry about the names too much, just look at the pictures and see what they make you think.
So, how do ya read these bootz tarot cards?
Well, there ain’t just one way, see? Everyone’s got their own way of doin’ things. But here’s a simple way to start.
First, you gotta shuffle them cards. Mix ‘em up good, like you’re makin’ biscuits. Then you gotta think about what you wanna know. Got a question about your love life? About your job? Just somethin’ that’s been botherin’ you? Keep that question in your head while you shuffle. Don’t go thinkin’ ’bout what to eat later or that mean old Mrs. Henderson down the road.
Then, you lay out some cards. How many? Well, that depends. You can start with just one. Or three. Or maybe more if you’re feeling brave. They got fancy spreads with names like “The Horseshoe” and “The Celtic Cross”, but don’t worry about that fancy stuff yet. Just pull a few cards and see what happens.
Now, look at the pictures. What do you see? What do they make you feel? Don’t try to be a mind reader or nothin’. Just use your common sense. If you see a card with a bunch of happy people dancing, that’s probably a good sign, right? If you see a card with a fella lookin’ all sad and gloomy, maybe things ain’t so great. It ain’t always that simple, mind you, but it’s a place to start.
Here’s the thing you gotta remember about bootz tarot:
The cards ain’t gonna tell you the future like some crystal ball. They ain’t gonna make decisions for you neither. They’re just tools to help you think. To help you see things in a new way. To help you listen to that little voice inside your head that you sometimes ignore.
And don’t get discouraged if you don’t understand everything right away. It takes time and practice, like learnin’ to bake a good pie. The more you do it, the better you’ll get. And don’t be afraid to make mistakes. We all make mistakes, ain’t no shame in that. Just keep tryin’ and you’ll get the hang of it. I reckon even that grandson of mine had to start somewhere. He’s always lookin’ at them cards and mumblin’ to himself. Says it helps him figure things out.
So, go on, get yourself a deck of them bootz tarot cards and give it a try. You might be surprised at what you learn. And if you don’t like it, well, you can always use ‘em to play Go Fish. At least you’ll get some use out of ‘em. But who knows, maybe you’ll find that these cards got somethin’ to say to you after all. Just remember to keep an open mind and a good cup of tea close by. And don’t go blabbin’ everyone’s secrets, some things are best kept to yourself.
Some things they say about the cards:
Some folks say you gotta “bond” with your cards. Keep ’em close, sleep with ’em under your pillow. Sounds kinda silly to me, but you do what feels right. Others say you gotta “cleanse” your cards, get rid of bad energy. They wave ’em around in the smoke or put ’em out in the moonlight. Again, seems a bit much, but if it helps you, go for it. Just don’t go burnin’ the house down, that ain’t gonna help nobody.
The main thing is to be respectful of the cards, and to be respectful of yourself. Don’t go askin’ silly questions, and don’t go ignoring your own good sense. The cards can offer guidance, but ultimately, you’re the one who makes the decisions in your life. Don’t be givin’ that power away to no bits of cardboard.
And that’s about all I know ’bout this bootz tarot. Hope it helps ya get started. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I got a pie in the oven and a cat that needs feedin’. Good luck with them cards, and don’t go takin’ everything too seriously. Life’s too short for that, I reckon.
