| ==Methodology==
| |
| ===Left and Right Hands===
| |
| A Practitioner will draw two cards, one with each hand. The various cards hold meanings depending on the hand.
| |
| | |
| It is hypothesized by [[Zoey Artana]] that by the most basic aspects of the left and right hands, practically and symbolically, the right hand is the active hand, the hand fixed in the now, the one with which you address the world, while the left is the hand used when you’ve got our hands full, in times of stress, more clumsy, but strongest when used in concert with the other, rather than relying on the other alone.
| |
| | |
| The left hand has another meaning. When referring to the parts of the body, terminology for the right side is Dexter, as in dexterity. When referring to the left, the word is Sinister. In superstition, the left is viewed to be the side closest to evil and thus the hand is used only when desperate.

| === Cardinal Directions ===
| |
| Another way of drawing Tarot cards has been shown employed by [[Alexander Belanger]], in which four cards are drawn and placed North, South, East and West.<ref>“Excuse me,” Alexander said, as he leaned in to study. He drew some cards from his pocket and laid them down.<br>The Chariot at the left, the Fool at the right. Strength at the back, the Empress at the front.<br>
| |
| Alexander tapped his finger on the Chariot. “Hmm. You can close it up and open it again, if you want to see how the scene changes. Don’t open it up in exactly the same way twice, or it may start getting nasty.”<br>
| |
| [...]<br>
| |
| He conducted in a few moments of small talk, shoulder pressing his phone to his ear, while he shuffled the cards. He placed down a card by the figure in black.<br>
| |
| Moon. High Priestess.
| |
| [...]<br>
| |
| “I wanted to pick your brain about something. I’m looking at a cabin, there’s a ton of ribbons tied within. An excess number of ribbons to tie up one… I don’t think it’s a rodent, not when it’s upside-down. Rodent-like. Tarot cards are west facing chariot, east facing fool, north facing strength… you know it?”
| |
| <br>[...]
| |
| <br>“What was that black thing?”<br>
| |
| “A mare. Bringer of nightmares. Not related to this place.”
