We fell in love with the tarot in the early 1980s. Tarot became our profession then, and for decades we did lectures, workshops and seminars on the tarot. We also wrote many tarot books (mainly in Europe, but with increasing interest in the USA and Canada), which have been translated in numerous languages. Our StoryIn 1989, some years after becoming tarot professionals, we founded the Königsfurt publishing company, which specialized in tarot, dreams, fairy tales, and the interpretations of these topics based on cultural and psychological approaches, being devoted to the human potential movement and a down-to-earth spirituality. In 2007, we sold the company and merged with AGM ...
It's something people say all the time: Don't ask a yes-or-no question in a tarot reading. Just about any introductory tarot book you pick up, or any reader you ask for advice, will deliver this counsel sooner or later. There seems to be a broad consensus that tarot is just not good for yes-or-no questions, that it can't (or won't) answer them, and we should never bother to ask them. But most people don't talk about why that's the case. Tarot is a narrative medium. Whatever question you ask, you get an answer in the form of pictures, symbols, and abstract themes.

Yet untangling practice, craft, and beliefs is not easy when the lineages of two very separate systems have been merged over time. Which is why I felt it so important to write Tarot Priestess and lay out the path of the Priestess. You see, a priestess can be mistaken for a witch and a witch can be mistaken for a priestess. To the uninitiated, they can appear very similar. But they are not the same and their paths, though at times parallel, are very different. I have always been and will always be a ...
There are far more tarot spreads than we have room to discuss here. In fact, there are entire books devoted just to tarot spreads. There's a spread for every occasion and for every possible question. However, if you're trying to perform a reading and you haven't yet found a spread you like for your question, the best thing to do is to design your own. There's no official listing of approved tarot spreads and no reason that you have to use a layout made up by someone else. Remember, a spread is just a layout of cards designed to give you more specific information about a particular question. No one knows better than you what information you need to answer your question, so no one is better ...
