A tarot expert breaks down four easy techniques.
Shuffling preference also depends on the size of the deck, too.
The most important thing is to find a groove that supports a focused, meditative state.
It all really boils down to what feels right to you.
Oller gives the scoop on how to shuffle tarot cards and the methods she uses in her own practice.
Once youve sanctified your deck from any unwanted energy, youre ready to shuffle!
As you start to mix up your deck, think about the intention of your question.
Focus on bringing clarity and opening yourself up to the guidance of your cards.
When the moment feels right, choose a card.
Pay attention to the cards that fall out of the shuffle or stand out.
I read the cards that flip or jump out of the deck while shuffling, explains Oller.
And you dont necessarily have to pick out several cards for a single question.
One question may have a one-card answer, the next question may have a five-card answer, says Oller.
I find this gives me a clearer picture of what needs to be shared.
Whatever helps center you so you might focus on your question.
A simple way to overhand shuffle is to grip the deck of cards in your dominant hand.
Take a few cards from the deck using your non-dominant hand.
The riffle shuffling method is when you break or cut the deck in half.
when you obtain the two halves separated, take one of the piles in each hand.
All you oughta do is mix up your cards in a messy pile on the floor.
Jumper Method
Unlike other shuffling styles, the jumper method is unique in that its not deliberate.
When I started reading cards professionally, the cards began jumping out of my deck, she says.
At first, it felt confusing because I was used to only reading one card at a time.
Once I started leaning into the jumper method I found my readings had much more depth and nuance.
