When you give a tarot reading, you channel energies from the

universe toward yourself.

You use the cards as indicators of what the universe tells you.
If you do a spell with the tarot, you use the cards as energy filters.
In the case of a spell, the tarot cards represent the energies you are
about to send off.
Each tarot card represents a field of experience, or a function, or an
idea; Each tarot card is an archetypal symbol.
To combine tarot cards means to combine ideas.
Consequently the tarot cards are an ideal tool to creatively act upon
your universe in magical operations.
A magical operation is any action at a distance that involves the use
of structural links and life energy, or psychic power.
To be effective in magical work, you need a source of life energy, a
psychic link to the target of your operation (unless the target of your
magical operation is present), and a structural link that represents the
specific action that you desire.
The success of every magical work depends on these three key
factors.
The better the psychic link to your target is, the easier you can
influence it with a magical operation, or spell.
Psychic links for targeting are structural links that are near-identical
with the target.
Hair and fingernails contain the genetic code that is unique for every
individual; This genetic code allows you to connect with every cell in
the body of the target person.
Clothing has a similar effect; This is because clothing has skin rubbings
in it even after it has been thoroughly washed and dried.
Other good psychic links with the target are visualization and the
writing down of the name (which involves visualization); These psychic
links are not of the identical kind, but of an "equivalent nature".
Equivalent structural links are an excellent substitute in cases where
near identical links are not available; Any design symbolizing the
target person of your operation is an equivalent structural link.
Photos are somewhat in between the two extremes that we have just
described.
For a strong effect of the spell, you need a strong source of life
energy (elemental force).
Many magicians generate their own energy as they need it; The
generation of psychic energy, or life energy, is an integral part of every
magical ritual.
Magicians use a variety of methods to generate life energy: chanting,

dancing, sex magical practices, and processes of visualization all the

way to the sacrificing of animals.
The third, equally important, factor is the "energy filter"; This
energy is a structural representation of a desired action or of a
specific energy (entity) that works toward a desired result.
This structural link to the action, or energy filter, needs to be a correct
representation of the intention of the magician; Otherwise the spell
may not be effective or it may have an unexpected outcome.
The tarot cards are a system of such energy filters that can be applied
to practically all situations.
In summary, to do magical work successfully, you need to have the
following:
1. A good structural link to the target of your work
2. A good power source for life energy
3. An appropriate filter that correctly represents the energy that you send
to the target of your work.
