Tarot Readings for You for January 15, 2014 Wednesday©
Guidance Today we are into the study … yes, the study … of blarney, of blandishment, of b.s. – something we encounter every time we turn on print or spoken media, or listen to our fellow humans. Is the core of the earth a blarney stone, someone tell me? We speak of being skilled at emitting and detecting propaganda. We even speak of how the truth presented truthfully is such a bad fit for earthly environments that it is suspect. Unadulterated truth doesn’t sell; it is an acquired taste, like booze is. Illusions sell; we had best cultivate a few, and at least use them for seasoning.
Are YOU here for the first time? Come in!
People love this place! Our site is divided into four sections: Guidance, Tarot Readings, Learn Tarot by Observation, and Learn Tarot by Pictures.
If you just want your daily look ahead, Guidance and Tarot Readings are all you need.
‘Guidance’ (above) is a summary of what the cards are telling visitors to be aware of this day.
‘Group Tarot Cards Reading’ (just below this) is the actual word-for-word messages from the pictures of the four cards you see – to everyone. These readings are about you and the people around you. They are about today and the days around it. So, go ahead and pick the sentences you feel are yours and decide whether to encourage or reject them for yourself.
Did you come here for your predictions? – You are done now – See you tomorrow. The family of commenters here would love for you to join in (the very last thing, at the bottom).

Tarot Readings: How do you Know for Sure? (Page of Cups and High Priestess)
How would you know when an expert is telling you lies?
How can I know what I am being told is disinformation?
All this information about how wonderful things are is a big pretense, isn’t it?
Tarot Readings: Confuse Them with the Truth (Page of Cups and High Priestess)
When you tell them the whole truth they suspect you have an agenda.
In a crooked world, the whole truth seems too weird.
Explaining spiritual expertise sounds like trickery; it makes no sense.
You tell them everything in a scholarly way, explain it, and they still suspect you have some agenda, some bad motive.
Now, Part Two,
Do you want to know a little, or a lot, about how this Tarot Verbatim™ thing works? If so,
*Go to Learn Tarot by Observing section below. This tells about the combined four pictures in the Tarot Readings – the pictures above here. It explains how these four cards get together in your mind to make the messages.
*Go to Learn Tarot by Pictures. It is what each of the four cards, by itself, has to say. It shows you how that illustration makes that card’s meanings in today’s Spread. All the words of each Tarot card reading you see here are a phrase-by-phrase translation of the scene pictured on those cards: no filler, no psychic impressions, no spirit guide. Word-for-word Tarot Verbatim™.
You can put all this together and intuitively see yourself how Tarot Verbatim™ works.
This is a group reading, with no Questioner and no Question to limit what the cards say, so there’s more variety – even contradictions – and also the pronouns are more flexible. If it feels like it’s yours, and it says ‘he,’ and you’re a ‘she,’ feel free to adopt it anyway.

Six of Wands and Star Both these Rider Waite Tarot cards mean bullshitting and propaganda. Six of Wands is about a ruse that led King Richard III into an ambush by Arabs, in a battle, that put him into captivity for life. ‘Tis a study in blarney (a polite word for deceit or b.s.) we have ourselves here. Who starts it? – well, Six of Wands, of course, encouraged by Star. Star is the sales pitch, the pouring out, in language – in any way, shape or form, usually happily through enthusiasm or flattery. Deceit and an agenda and a pretense is Six of Wands; Star is a lot of talk or a sales pitch.
Page of Cups and High Priestess Page of Cups and High Priestess both involve ‘to know’ in very different ways. Page of Cups is silly. It means to be questionable, to question, to suspect, to be suspect. It is an instruction to the reader to phrase the sentence as a question. Page of Cups is a ‘suspicious character’ or weirdo. It means “I don’t know” often, and that includes Tarot telling you it doesn’t know.
High Priestess, on the other hand, means to know all, to know the truth, the cognoscenti, to know the spiritual truth, to be scholarly, to have expertise or be the expert. It translates ‘she’ quite often because it represents the feminine principle of receptivity in metaphysics.
High Priestess And Star So both High Priestess and Star will translate ‘she.’
So in today’s message, we can’t help but be about a study (High Priestess ) in questioning (Page of Cups ) blarney ( Star and Six of Wands).
HERE ARE PHRASES FOR ALL SIX 2-CARD COMBINATIONS

Page of Cups The fellow dressed in women’s clothes, from whose cup a fish protrudes, stands for things questionable, suspect and/or ridiculous. Foolish boy. Here he is in the ‘question’ and ‘questionable’ zone of the spectrum. This Rider Waite card stands for the word ‘question’ and instructs the reader to phrase the information in its sentence into question form. It translates ‘suspect’ and ‘silly.’
Six of Wands There’s that politician! There’s that marketeer! There’s that grinning televangelist with his charity orphanage in Tibet! We see him for what he is because High Priestess, who knows, is right here. This is the pretense, the propaganda, the malicious deceit designed to undermine someone or something.
The illustration is one from the Middle Ages when Tarot could get you tortured. It is about the betrayal of King Richard to the Arabs by someone who ruled in his stead for decades, a pretender to the throne. Pretenders to thrones are all over the place these days too.
High Priestess She who knows. The expert. Knowledge of the truth. Knowledge of spiritual matters. Knowing all and being still and quiet. The Lady. The feminine principle in the metaphysical sense. These are the parts of her meanings we are using in today’s messages.
Her illustration shows a seated woman with a book in her hand which has the same letters you see on Wheel of Fortune. The Tora, Taro, Rota words. Mysteriously links Tarot with Torah, a Jewish sacred book. Metaphysical symbols from the Kabbalah, also Jewish, are behind her. Pomegranate (a fruit) figure in the design of High Priestess.
Star Today Star is about language, spoken or written. It isn’t singing in the shower today. Pouring out words: explaining, performing, bullshitting, issuing forth blandishment and blarney. Its illustration shows a performer singing and feeling good in a water (emotional) setting.
