I recently started a personal project, and I had to mess around with my tarot cards. I needed to organize them into different groups based on some specific criteria I came up with. And I thought it would be fun to share my little journey of grouping these tarot cards.
Getting Started
First off, I laid out all 78 of my tarot cards on my big table. Seeing them all spread out was pretty cool, it gave me a clear picture of what I was working with. It’s not just about knowing the names of the cards, but also about feeling their energy, you know?
Defining the Groups
Next, I started to think about how I wanted to group them. Initially, I considered the obvious categories like the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. But then I thought, “Nah, let’s make this more interesting.” So, I decided to group them based on the emotions and situations they usually represent in readings. I ended up with groups like “Growth and Change,” “Challenges and Obstacles,” “Love and Relationships,” and “Spiritual Insights.”
Sorting the Cards
With my groups defined, I began the actual sorting process. This was kind of meditative, to be honest. I picked up each card, looked at it, and thought about where it best fit. For instance, The Tower card, which often signifies sudden upheaval, naturally went into the “Challenges and Obstacles” group. Meanwhile, cards like The Lovers and the Two of Cups were placed in the “Love and Relationships” category.
- Picked up each card individually.
- Reflected on its meaning and typical interpretations.
- Placed it into the corresponding group.
- Adjusted some placements as I went through all the cards and got a better sense of the overall distribution.
Reviewing and Tweaking
After all the cards were sorted, I stepped back and reviewed the groups. Some cards felt like they could belong in multiple categories, so I had to make some tough choices. I mean, should the Three of Swords go into “Challenges” or “Love and Relationships,” since it often deals with heartbreak? In the end, I went with my gut feeling and made the adjustments. Oh, let me tell you, there were a few cards that I changed my mind about like three or four times! Finally, I felt I could make a choice about each one.
Finalizing the Groups
Finally, I had my finalized groups. Each one had a distinct vibe and purpose. I even made little labels for each group, which made it look all official and organized. This whole process not only helped me organize my cards but also deepened my understanding of their meanings and how they relate to each other.
Why I Love This Method
I really enjoyed this way of grouping my tarot cards. It felt more personal and intuitive than just sticking to the traditional categories. Plus, it’s going to make my readings so much easier. When someone comes to me with a specific question, I can quickly grab the cards from the relevant group and get started.
So yeah, that’s how I ended up grouping my tarot cards. It was a fun, engaging, and enlightening process. If you’re into tarot, I definitely recommend giving this a try. It might change the way you look at your cards!
