Cartomancy is a divination technique based on some type of cards, usually the tarot deck. Other prediction techniques or mancias use different strategies to predict the future (for example, palmistry reads the lines of the palms of the hands).
Like other divinatory disciplines, fortune telling is based on a general principle: what happens in people's lives is related to the position of the planets, which determine the course of events.
In a cartomancy consultation there are three main elements
1) the person who supposedly knows how to interpret the meaning of the letters that appear,
2) each of the letters with its corresponding message and
3) the person who has a concern and who is waiting for guidance that will allow him to live better.
A fortune teller is that individual with paranormal abilities and thanks to them he can know things that are not available to ordinary people
Each fortune teller bases their power on something different, but they all have a special gift with which they know what others cannot.
Tarot cards
The 78 cards that make up the tarot are divided into two subgroups: the one made up of the 22 major arcana and the one made up of the 56 minor arcana. In this way, when the figure of the magician appears, it represents the person who is making the consultation and is a positive card that symbolizes willpower, but if the card appears inverted, it means that it is someone who is incapable of making decisions.
The priestess card represents the mysterious and middle-aged woman and symbolizes a hypocritical woman who can harm others. The empress is a good card that represents the supreme love and can represent the person consulting, but if the card comes out next to the arcanum of the devil it can mean the pregnancy of the consultant. The emperor's card alludes to good intentions and the effort to be made to achieve goals, although the inverted card means cruelty to others or a possible failure in business.
The high priest is a very good card, as it refers to a kind person who wants to help, but if it is reversed, it refers to a depressive state. Ultimately, each of the cards has a meaning, since they are related to the position of the stars (each card has its corresponding planets that determine the destiny of human beings).
There is no cartomancy client profile
However, it is usually someone who is in a difficult situation (a love disappointment, lack of work or any adverse situation) and who needs to find a guiding answer. As is logical, the client is convinced of the divinatory power of the cards and of the ability of the fortune teller to correctly interpret the symbols that appear on the cards.
