Tarot Daybook of Spiritual thoughts and advice

Posted on February 25, 2011 at 4:41pm 0 Comments

Since the beginning of the year, I have been blogging a series of posts that I call “Tarot’s Spiritual Messages of the Day.”  The result is an online “DAY BOOK” of spiritual advice from the cards. For example, yesterday’s post was a spiritual message from the Four of Cups.  (See it here: http://jamesricklef.wordpress.com/2011/02/24/four-cups-spiritual-message/)

Contra-positive cards -- Finding Tarot solutions!

Posted on July 17, 2010 at 1:30pm 5 Comments

In my latest blog post I introduced a revolutionary new way to find solutions to the problems that the cards can reveal, and I'd like to find out people's reactions to it. The initial reactions have been very good, but I would also like to hear feedback from people who use it. So I look forward to hearing about your experiences!

When I read this article (which if fantastic) it made me realize that I have never spent much time thinking about what a soul mate means to me and, I sure can’t think of any better definition than: commitment, understanding, forgiveness and security…also, the ability to change as needed. The four of wands also made me think of giving confidence-to ourselves and our partner.
What a great post James! I can’t wait to see the rest of this spread! I love that your articles are thought provoking. You challenge ME to go outside my “comfort zone”.
Thank you!

I am including some of my thoughts on the cards you picked:

What kinds of blessings or lessons can a soul mate bring into our lives?
Knight of Cups
As well as the great interpretations you have provided, I also thought the knight might indicate a level of understanding and possibly forgiveness.

What kinds of challenges might a soul mate bring into our lives?
Four of Wands
I love that you spoke of commitment with this card. I thought of security and also the ability to change. Maybe adaptable is a better word?

Great article!

Hi James,
Just wanted to let you know that I love reading your Blog! You always have something to make me think!

Hi James, Thanks for the blog on the Contrapositives. I used this technique in a Tarot class last night and it sparked a lively and very interesting discussion. We, the students and I, did a spread and used the idea of the Contrapositive to clarify issues that appeared in the spread. We tossed around the idea of using this approach with the Major Arcana but found that it worked for some but not all of the cards. For instance, we pulled the Devil, added the 1 and 5 to fadically come up with 6, said that the Devil was Earth and, therefore, its contrapositive would be the 5 of Air, or Fear, which worked for us, But, it worked if we said that the contrapositive of the Devil was the 5 of the Major Arcana, the Hierophant. Something to explore further. --- In any case, thanks for a good lesson. ~David

James, I've been in contact with createspaces and I'm glad to hear that you had a good connection with them. It seems like Kindle is the wave of the future, so I was thinking of trying to go digital, but we shall see. Thanks for sharing such good info with us!
PS: Happy to meet you!

Hi James,

Thanks so much for your friend request & also for your comments on my tarot kitty, Dickens. I've read a number of your books & am hoping to get Tarot Affirmations soon.

James, I'm trying to figure out what to do with a palmistry book that I'm almost finished writing. In a short sentence or two, can you tell me how you got your book published on Kindle? Or, can you send me the web address for more info?
Happy to be your friend and looking forward to connecting!
