    Introduction

    Wherever we walk in this life, there’s always a path from where we are to where we want to be or need to be. Radiant Wisdom Tarot provides guidance that will help you find your path in any situation and know how to walk it with grace and happiness.

    Radiant Wisdom Tarot presents a multi-cultural, celebratory, practical and spiritual approach to life. It’s created on the foundation of ancestral wisdoms from our many cultures and it energizes the future with assurance that all experiences can be lived in beauty and harmony.

    The Suit of Bridges is a unique aspect of this deck. This new suit in the Minor Arcana is a roadmap to successful manifestation, providing a bridge between inspired intention and physical plane results. The cards in this suit can be read alone or mixed into the rest of the deck.

    Tarot is one of my favorite tools for learning and/or remembering how to live lovingly and for opening spiritual consciousness to extraordinary levels. In addition to any readings you may do for

    others, I highly recommend that you read for yourself. Doing your own readings is a wonderful way to expand your personal access to wisdom.

    May your journey be blessed in all ways!

    Working with Chakras

    Chakras are energy centers in our bodies that support our ability to live balanced, healthy lives. Each card’s definition includes suggestions for working with the seven primary chakras listed here.

    Balancing and Clearing Chakra Energy

    Sit quietly for a few minutes, holding the intention of balancing or clearing the energy of a specific chakra, and do any of these things:

    • Smudge the chakra with sage.

    • Hold a piece of kyanite in your hand or lay it on the chakra.

    • On the chakra, lay one of the stones suggested for the card you

    drew or lay the supportive stone for the chakra.

    • Move your palms over the chakra in a circular motion, clockwise

    or counterclockwise, whichever direction intuitively feels right

    to you.

    • Fill the chakra with its native color either by visualization or by

    placing an object of the appropriate color on the chakra.

    Connecting and Directing Energy Flow Between Two Chakras

    Lay a hand on each of the chosen chakras, imagining an arc of energy going up the front of your body from the lower chakra to the higher one, then through your body and down your back from the higher chakra to the lower one. Imagine the arc filling with the colors of both chakras until the colors blend together and move in a continuous circle.

    Decreasing Chakra Energy Flow

    Gently lay the palms of both hands on the chakra for several minutes, focusing on quieting and decreasing the energy flow within the chakra.

    -or-

    Lay a grounding stone on the chakra for five to ten minutes.

    Suggested stones: Hematite, Obsidian, Smoky Quartz, Gravel

    Increasing Chakra Energy Flow

    Focus your attention on the chakra and take three slow, deep breaths, allowing each breath to fill the chakra with vibrant energy. Take four more deep breaths, each time focusing on filling the chakra with your favorite shade of its native color.

    -or-

    Lay a stone on the chakra, one that is naturally the native color of the chakra, and leave it there for five to ten minutes.

    Working with Crystals and Other Stones

    The easiest ways to work with crystals and stones for personal growth and healing are to carry the chosen stone in your pocket, wear it as a piece of jewelry, or sleep with it under your pillow or somewhere near the head of your bed.

    When you begin forgetting to spend time with the stone, your body is telling you that it’s gotten what it needs from that stone.

    Working with multiple stones at the same time is fine. Trust your intuition about how many stones work well for you at one time and which ones to use together.

    After working with a stone for awhile, it’s customary to refresh the stone by laying it in sunlight for a couple of days, rinsing it with cool water, or smudging it with sage or incense.

    Grounding

    Grounding helps us stay connected to physical plane reality, stay focused, and it helps us bring our visions and dreams alive. It supports us in actually living the wisdom we have.

    Some ways to ground yourself:

    • Eat root foods such as potatoes, carrots, peanuts or any other food that produces its edible portion underground.

    • Drink water.

    • Walk barefoot on soil.

    • Visualize a strong root growing down from your base chakra and anchoring itself deep into the Earth.

    • Carry a piece of Hematite or any stone native to the geographic area you’re in.

    Aspects of the Card Definitions

    Creative Support

    This information can be used to access creative thinking in any situation. It’s especially useful when you’re having difficulty starting a creative project, restarting or expanding your flow of creative thinking during a project, or when you’re unfamiliar with your own creative process.

    Ease and Effort

    The Ease describes how to flow with the card’s energy in ways that typically invite you to replenish yourself as part of the experience.

    The Effort describes how to flow with the card’s energy in ways that typically invite you to replenish yourself outside of the experience.

    As you dance with life’s adventures, you’ll invite yourself to experience the fullness of your being by living each aspect of most of these cards. Both ways of expressing each card’s energy can expand your harmony or your challenges. Both ways can help you expand your vibrancy and beauty or deplete your energy and become defended.

    In all situations you can choose the wisest and most loving way for you to live the energy represented by any card that appears in your reading.

    Key Phrase

    This is the foundation energy of the card.

    Correspondences

    To provide greater depths of understanding about the subtle meanings of each card, the definitions include a list of several corresponding attributes.

    Colors

    Wearing these colors or using them in your personal environment can support your wise use of the card’s energy.

    Alternate Meanings

    Some card definitions include long-standing, traditional meanings that provide specifically focused interpretations or future forecasts.

    MAJOR ARCANA

    Key Phrase:

    I am much more than I know I am.

    The Major Arcana cards represent dominant human archetypes, the ideas and dynamics that appear in most people and most cultures. These are the things that form the larger framework of our lives. They’re the foundations that keep life progressing in satisfying ways and that generate harmonious relations with others.

    These cards also speak to us of Spirit and the ways we thrive when living in alignment with our spiritual purposes, our inner knowings, and our higher wisdoms. They teach us how to align with Spirit, with one another, and with our own wisdom.

    The Major Arcana cards hold all of the individual dynamics of the Minor Arcana cards and expand the Minor Arcana wisdoms into their universal aspects. In readings, combining the perspectives of the Major and Minor Arcana reveals the bigger issues and impact of the situation being read and also reveals details of specific history, actions, reactions, timing, and approaches that bring harmony or imbalance to what’s occurring.

    0 ~ Simplicity

    image_4.png

    Simplicity dances thru life without a care, knowing all is well in the world and always will be. Life is an adventure to be laughed with and through and about. All beings are friends and the limitless opportunities to experience joy make it possible to play in all levels of reality.

    Simplicity combines wisdom gained through experience with complete trust and innocence. This is the wide open void, waiting to be filled with all that will delight and inspire one to continue the journey. In this playful energy our unquestioning openness assures our safety, leaving us free to experience everything without the need for boundaries and defenses.

    Simplicity stands at the beginning and the end of the Major Arcana. At the beginning there is no experience and therefore no knowledge of limitation. At the end, there is all experience and therefore the knowledge that all limitations can be transcended.

    • Creativity is supported through play and adventure.

    When Simplicity appears in your reading

    Flow with the present moment and whatever excites and impassions you. Let go of concerns, plans, expectations, and defenses. There'll be plenty of time later to decide if any of those things truly matter to you.

    Let go of the desire to know where you’re going before you get there. Your current experience comes from where you’ve been and will naturally lead you to the next right thing on your path.

    If you’re engaged in a struggle, find ways to lighten up and play. Allowing events to unfold in their own way will take you where you need to go.

    Ease

    Spontaneity, playfulness, and unexpected adventures.

    To live the ease of this card

    Choose to trust synchronicity and enjoy exploring what’s before you.

    To support yourself in living the ease: Ground yourself and balance the energy in your third eye and crown chakras.

    Carry one of these stones for awhile:

    Granite, Pearl, ordinary pebble

    Effort

    Avoidance, forgetfulness, and unfulfilled commitments.

    To live the effort of this card

    Use the present moment to forget where you’ve been or where you’d like to go.

    To support yourself in living the
