I would like to share some of my personal experiences with colleagues who have opened this Tarot link.
32 years ago through a shaman woman (belonging to an indigenous tribe in my country Colombia), I learned to handle the Egyptian Tarot. Which and through the years I was perfecting it by studying the Hebrew Kabbalah, and also, the Esotericism of the Egyptian Empire of Antiquity (little by little I studied the Texts of the Sarcophagi, Egyptian Mythology, the Book of the Dead, a good part of the hieroglyphs inscribed on the pyramids, mastabas and nearby temples the delta of the Nile River). Even, at some point I studied based on the guidelines of the Neoplatonic School of Master Iamblichus, which although had great influence in Greece and Syria, but was also famous in the area of the city of Alexandria more than 16 centuries ago.
I have used the Egyptian Tarot (the 22 major arkans and the 56 minor arkans), both its sephiras and its kliphots, but only to investigate my personal spiritual process and I very rarely inquire about my material processes. Most of all I do it to clarify the meaning of my dreams. But I have been able to realize that when I have been more spiritually tuned in, the Tarot is clearer and more precise in its answers. Sometimes I feel like he's talking to me. But when I have had weaknesses in the spiritual part, also the oracle, gives me vague or wrong answers. I think it always acts according to the spiritual vibration that one has.
About 15 years ago, I had a few clients that I charged for doing such readings. And on one occasion a woman who I knew had a rather disorderly sex life asked me for a consultation; the fact was that at one point she touched the deck of cards with her hands and after that I realized that the Tarot did not work again, it is as if it had been misconfigured. Given my sadness and concern, I decided to give it to a friend who was studying Hebrew Kabbalah. And I had to change the Tarot for a new deck. In one way or another I began to close the consultations to the public of the Egyptian Tarot, until I did not do them again. It´s as if I distrusted people and that some client touched the deck.
Until about 10 years ago I learned to handle the I Ching and its 64 hexagrams in the form of playing cards with solvency. And today I use the Egyptian Tarot for my queries personal spiritual and the I Ching for use if I use it for my own consultations, but sometimes I use it for consultants (private and virtual service). What happens is that I use the I Ching for very specific cases, since I prefer to offer the BaZi Chinese Astrology, the Chinese Reading of Faces and Hands, the Qi Men Dun Jia, the Fengshui and only as a last option do I consider the I Ching (I have a lot of respect for oracles and I prefer not to abuse their use to ask about anything).
By the way, little by little I have been moving away from the Egyptian and Hebrew Kabbalah and the Esotericism of the Babylonians that were their forerunners and rather, I have been leaning more and more towards the Taoist Internal Martial Arts. And something if it is true, the more I have been able to advance with the Doctrine of the Tao, the answers of both oracles: the Book of Changes and the Egyptian Tarot, also called the Sacred Book of Thot, are more and more precise and exact. If you have balanced internal energy, the aura of your hands becomes more powerful.
Greetings to all.
