The One World Tarot Deck

The tarot has been a source of inspiration and guidance for generations. Since its earliest days, the tarot has evolved and grown in popularity due to its continuous appeal as an informative and provocative tool. This tarot deck takes a fresh and contemporary approach to the deck and the meaning of the cards. Lena Rodriguez and Seanna Rose guide the reader through the history and essential meanings of the individual cards—major and minor arcana—and through some potential spreads and readings. Designed for all interested parties, from beginners to longtime practitioners, this deck encompasses many centuries and cultures, embracing our global diversity and applying to all genders. Paying homage to the traditional tarot, this book and card set brings this ancient art brilliantly into the twenty-first century.

How to Use a Tarot Card Deck:
Find a place where you might not be disturbed, take some calming breaths; if you want to Ground and Protect yourself now is the best time.
Get the deck ready to read with! Some people knock on the deck and blow on it to remove other energies from it and to wake it up. Let your deck know what you will be doing and reiterate or invite Who or What you wish to be working with for the reading.
Have your spread or questions ready. It’s good to write these out first and then continue to write down more questions as you ask them. Try to ask open ended questions instead of questions that can be answered with a Yes or No.
As you shuffle, think of your spread, the situation or the question. Pull your card or cards and place them on a flat safe surface. Many people use a cloth, napkin or handkerchief for readings. Make sure to keep the cards clean and safe.
After you are done drawing your cards, start trying to interpret the answers. You can use the knowledge you have obtained through research, refer to a book, use your own intuition, or any/all of these options. Don’t be too hard on yourself and trust your gut.
Write down the question, the card(s) and your interpretation of the answer into a journal or notebook of some kind. Sometimes even just writing it out can help with the interpretation itself.
