Chapter One: Structure of the Deck

We are all different people with different wants and needs, particularly when it comes to sexuality. In an attempt to introduce an element of choice and customization into the Tarot experience, we're including alternative designs for some of the most important cards in the deck.

A traditional Tarot deck has 78 Cards, so why does Vibrating Tarot have 90?

Alternate designs will give card readers the opportunity to select which of these extra designs they will use in the live Tarot deck and which ones they will keep tucked away in the box for future use. 

Owners of Vibrating Tarot can choose to remove certain cards permanently, using them as bookmarks, art for custom framing and display, or as gifts to friends, all while keeping a fully functional deck intact for reading purposes.

Card readers are encouraged to bring their clients into the decision making process so that their clients can feel like they are exercising a level of personalization over the relationship they have with the deck.

This will give card readers the chance to learn about their clients and to open different types of conversations before the card reading session even begins.

All card readers have their own style. I have always tried to present Vibrating Tarot as a method of starting conversations. At the bottom of it all, Tarot is a system that offers us an opportunity to pull a few cards and have a discussion about what they say—a discussion that we would not have had otherwise. You shouldn't feel that you need extrasensory perception in order to interact with any Tarot deck in a worthwhile and rewarding way. 

In this chapter we'll discuss two styles of reading the cards and how they can work together to bring greater context to your interpretations. 

Reading with Intuition

I say this with so many card readings: your intuition is your greatest guide. It is true in every case. Most of the time, people already know the answers to the questions they ask. So when it comes to reading the Tarot cards, let your intuition guide you. 

Reading by Objective Meaning

The traditional and objective meanings behind the Tarot cards can be studied in order to bring greater meaning and depth behind your interpretations. 

The best way to read any Tarot deck is with your intuition. Set aside the idea that you need to study the objective meanings and have all of the details memorized and just let the pictures tell you a story. 

Does it look like one product is helping others out? 

Are they working together? Are they clashing?

Are they on a path? 

Is it a bright day? Clear skies?

Is the card dark and colourless?

Vibrating Tarot was put together in a very deliberate way. Each product tells the story of the card they're placed on. Those who are familiar with the products will find themselves able to read the cards based on that knowledge alone.

When looking at the products in question, ask yourself what material it is made from. The material a product is made from, how it was made, and how it is used, are good indicators as to why it appears on the card in question.

Is it Electrically Powered,

Battery Powered,

Remote Capabilities,

Manual?

Stainless Steel

Glass

Ceramic

Something else?

Insertable / Non-insertable

Product Colour

What do these patterns mean to you? Oftentimes we think that the Tarot has objective answers but the truth is that the deeper meaning comes from your own unique viewpoint.

Did you know about the product before seeing it in the deck? 

Have you ever used it before?

Have you ever wanted to?

What products have you seen here for the first time?

Which ones seem interesting to you?

Industry and community insiders will find even more details that others will never see.

Learning to read the cards based on their objective and traditional meanings can be easy if you can remember the system by which to place a card within a certain framework. This knowledge will go hand in hand with your intuitive reading style and any info you can remember and bring forward will provide more depth to your readings.

If the card you're looking at is found within the Minor Arcana, it will be associated with one of the four suits.

Consider which suit the card falls within. This will describe what area of the person's life the card is making a comment on. 

Rope : Fire : New Ideas

Lube : Water : Emotions

Whips : Air : Intellect

Plugs : Earth : Foundation, Stability

Does the card you're looking at possess a low number or a high number? This will describe the stage of the journey the person is on and the progress they have made. 

1. Beginnings

2. Partnership

3. Creation

4. Structure

5. Conflict

6. Harmony

7. Knowledge

8. Action

9. Fulfillment

10. Completion

Court Cards have four positions: Page, Knight, Queen, King. 

Page : Young, Apprentice 

Knight : Action, Energy

Queen : Mature, Knowledgeable (Projecting Inwards)

King : Power, Responsibility (Projecting Outwards)

These four positions align with the four Suits: Rope, Lube, Whips, Plugs.

All Court Cards can easily be read if you remember the following pattern: 

Outline the card's position. Assign the position of the card to its corresponding element.

Outline the card's suit. Assign the suit of the card to its corresponding element.

Read the card again with the substitutions in place. 

Refer to the meanings of the metaphors. 

Substitutions:

Page : Rope : Fire : New Ideas

Knight : Lube : Water : Emotions

Queen : Whips : Air : Intellect

King : Plugs : Earth : Foundation and Stability

Example:

Knight of Whips = Water of Air = The Emotional Component of Intellectual Pursuits

One Card Pull. Tarot readers have a practice called The Daily Pull. This is where the user will shuffle the deck at the beginning of the day and pull one card to set aside face up. They will then go about their day with the selected card in mind and will think about how they can recognize that card in their life as the day unfolds. 

Two Card Pull. Think of a Yes/No question and shuffle the deck. Pull two cards. The first card will provide an outlook to the situation if you follow through with saying Yes. The second card will provide an outlook to the situation if you follow through with saying No. 

Two Card Pull. Think of an obstacle you're trying to overcome and shuffle the deck. Pull two cards. The first card will outline the problem. The second card will reveal the solution.

Three Card Pull. Shuffle the deck and pull three cards. Card 1 will represent your past and what you've moved on from, Card 2 will represent your present and what you are currently dealing with, Card 3 will represent your future and what you need to keep in mind moving forward. 

Three Card Pull. Shuffle the deck and pull three cards. Card 1 will represent your body and what you need to take care of to stay fit, Card 2 will represent your mind and what you need to do to stay sharp, Card 3 will represent your spirit and what you need to do to in order to evolve.

Three Card Pull. Shuffle the deck and pull three cards. Card 1 will represent you in the context of your relationship, Card 2 will represent your partner in the context of your relationship, Card 3 will represent your relationship as a whole and will guide you in a direction that you should consider. 

Four Card Pull. Shuffle the deck, pull four cards, lay them in a cross formation. The card on top is the good, the card on the bottom is the bad, the card to the left is what you should leave behind, the card to the right is what you should bring forward. 

Four Card Pull. Shuffle the deck, pull four cards, lay them in a cross formation. The card on top is you, the card on the bottom is your partner, the card to the left represents your parents, the card to the right represents your in-laws. 

Four Card Pull. Shuffle the deck, pull two cards and lay them beside each other face up. This is you and your partner. Then pull two additional cards and lay them face down underneath each of the original two. Turn them over, one by one, and discuss what they say about your hidden desires. 

Four Card Pull. Lay them in a box formation.

Top left: Strength. Top right: Weakness.

Bottom left: Opportunities. Bottom right: Threats.

Five Card Pull. Shuffle the deck, pull five cards, lay them in a five pointed star formation. The card on top is the lesson your dreams are trying to deliver, cards to the left and right are your conscious and subconscious interpretations of the dream, the bottom left is telling you what to forget from your dreams, bottom right is what to remember.

Six Card Pull. Shuffle the deck, pull 6 cards, lay them in a pyramid formation, with 1 card at the top, 2 cards in the middle, and 3 cards on the bottom. Turn them over one by one starting with the bottom row. The bottom row represents the evolution of your foundation. The two cards in the middle represent your stepping stones to higher attainment. The card at the top should be revealed last. This card represents your greatest potential. 

Ten Card Pull. Shuffle the deck, pull 10 cards and lay them in the Celtic Cross formation, which can be referenced online. 1. Situation, 2. Obstacles, 3. Goal, 4. Beliefs, 5. Past, 6. Future, 7. Self, 8. House, 9. Hopes, 10. Outcome.

One Card Pull. To find out your Card of the Year, take the individual numbers of your Birth Day, Month, and Year, as well as the Current Year, and add them all up, one by one. 

If the number is lower than 21, find the card in the Major Arcana that corresponds with your number.

If the number is higher than 21, add the remaining numbers together until you get a number between 1 and 21.

For example, if your Birth Day, Month, and Year are: 20/08/82, and the current year is 2024.

2 + 8 + 1 + 9 + 8 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 4 = 38

3 + 8 = 11

The remaining number is 11. The card marked with an 11 is the Justice card, so Justice would be the person's card for the year of 2024.
