How to Develop Tarot Keywords Specific to Your Deck (Tutorial)
Etteilla, the grand-père of tarot divination, was a proponent for using single word meanings for the cards. Today we call these easy-to-remember significations "keywords."
Keywords provide a surface gloss that can jump immediately to the basic interpretation of a spread. When doing fast readings on phone lines or at parties, keywords and other to-the-point reading methods are your key to success.
In this workshop, we'll distinguish between keywords, card titles, and card meanings. We'll contrast working with prepared interpretations against reading intuitively. And we'll learn a process for developing your own keywords that are unique to and evocative of your deck.
