of Wands. For Gore th e cards were The High Priestess. The
Star. and th e 9 of Swords. I was puzzled. From the cards' assort-
ment. the winner was impossible to determine. There was no
clear answer as to whom it would be. (Ironically, that was the
correct answer, but , it didn't make any sensel )
Admittedly television is hardly a suitable forum for a serious
divination . There arc so many different energies pouring in and
swirling around. But I also knew from years and years of obser-
vation that the messages are always coming through. and even
th ough the cards were not giving me an obvious direct answer,
nothing sho uld ever be d iscredited. Nevertheless. I had no time
to ponder! This was live television . Every second counts .
Although not at all conclusive, the cards for Bush did look
more favorable (but not winning). However. my strong psych ic
feeling all along had been telling me Bush would be the next to

CO RRECT LY COMPLET ED!

One of the most fascinati ng aspect s of Tarot cards is that

everyone sees something differen t in them. Wh ile Marie may sec

one thing, Sean sees someth ing else. or Janet and Erica may see
someth ing tota lly different. All are co rrect. But it is important

to look at the canIs. The more you look. th e more you sec.

This book teaches you how to de velop you r own meanings to
the cards easily, spont aneously, and int uitively. T herefore these
meanings arc possibilities on ly. They are not written in sto ne.
and thi s cha pter is included only to help prim e th e pump. It is
import ant to co nti nue develop ing your own meanings and not

to depend on th ese possibilities.

I have developed th e majoriry of th ese meanings over th e
years, and my interpreta tions arc of a very practi ca l natu re.
However I do add a small blend of traditional meanings. Plus.

th ere are possible meanings for some of th e cards as th ey fall in

prox imity to each other or surround each ot her in a spread, as
well as possible meanings for some of th e cards as they may fall
in various positi on s of ce rtain spreads.
