How do we talk with our cards? How does the deck talk to us?
We look at a card and then we translate what we see into an understanding or meaning for the question we’re asking.
How we get from that card to the meaning is what I’m calling a language. I’ve used many different words for this, and one day it popped into my head it’s like I’m reading different languages that offer information; I then pick the one that fits the best to the situation (QQP) and it’s my tarot language.

We have our tarot language that is built over time from anywhere & everywhere we pull from.
