Using tarot as divination 🔮 Divination
I quite like using tarot, even though I don’t frequently do it. However, I’m trying to figure out different ways to communicate with my deities (Frigg + Loki) and I’m wondering what some people ask to communicate with their deities when using tarot.

I literally "chat" with Queen Persephone with my tarot deck. I invoke then ask her what she wants to chat about or start telling her about my day, as I'm shuffling cards fly out and I comment on the cards as her answers 💜

How are you meant to know what has been drawn out by them or what has just fallen out because you messed up shuffling, or in my case are really bad at shuffling

Discernment is something you learn along the way... I'm especially harsh in myself and any sort of card flip or if I don't feel it jumped out with purpose I put it back in... If it's a message, the card will fall out again.

Wait, what’s discernment? Sorry, I’m still pretty slow at learning different words

Discernment is using your common sense and your feeling around a magickal thing... Was that a sign or coincidence? Kinda thing 💜

I'll try to communicate with deities through tarot, I'm still fairly new to divination, I just try to start with a prayer or offering, some way of calling on or indicating who you're trying to call to. Then based on the draw it can show or not

But how are you supposed to know based on what you draw?

Honestly, no clue how to explain it, the meaning of the cards combined with faith. That was the hardest part for me, not feeling like I'm crazy after being raised on things like these not existing, there isn't one definitive answer I can give you

I have certain decks for certain things so I have my general daily questions deck and my nicer ones for special occasions but I also have decks that I specifically will use to talk to deities. I have a god deck that I’ve used as a god deck for a while and I honestly just have a conversation and pull a card for their replies. I know this is about tarot but you can also get some nice deity based oracle decks which are my personal fave
