Using Tarot Cards in Spells

Using Tarot Cards in spells is something that is as old as the Tarot itself. Each card holds unto itself a power that can be the focal point of any spell that you wish to cast. However, like all spells, one needs to be mindful of the effects that it will have and how far reaching it will be once cast.

It is recommended to have a separate deck for reading and one for casting spells with, as the energies used for spell casting may affect the readings the cards give later down the road. 

Here is a small list compiled to help you with some ideas on what cards to use and for which purposes.
