Are You Holding an Adult Halloween Party? Why Not Have Tarot Card Readings?

Are you looking for something different for your Halloween party this year? A great idea can be to have Tarot card readings at your party. You can either hire someone to give readings, or get a Tarot deck and do them yourself. This can be lots of fun for your guest, and is a great way to make your Halloween party memorable.

To do this yourself, you will need:

A deck of Tarot cards

A table with two chairs

(Optional) a timer - like a kitchen timer

If you are doing the Tarot readings, you should first become accustomed to the Tarot deck. The Tarot deck has 78 cards; there is the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana has 22 cards, numbered from zero through 21, zero is The Fool and 21 is The World. Many say that when you see a Major Arcana card in a reading, it has to do with a karmic issue in your life. The major arcane has four suits: cups, swords, wands and pentacles. These may remind you of playing cards. Each card has a different meaning, when you purchase a deck of Tarot cards there is a small book that comes with the cards that will interpret the cards. But also listen to your own intuition, if you think a particular card is focused on a certain issue or circumstance, then it very well could be.

A great reading to give groups of people is a three card reading, because this is a shorter reading and you can often do many of these. The first card signifies the Past, the second card signifies the Present and the third card signifies the Future. This reading will work for many different types of questions that people like to ask.

Keep your readings light and entertaining. This is not the time to try to predict serious or life-altering circumstances. People came to your party to have some fun. If you are not very familiar with Tarot, you can tell your friends that you are doing this for a bit of fun, so people will just relax and enjoy the readings. You can also let someone else have fun reading the cards.

One idea that will help keep readings on target is to set the kitchen timer for fifteen minutes at the start of every reading. This will ensure that you will be able to give everyone a tarot reading at the party.

Approach the cards with light-hearted fun, but also with a certain amount of respect. Somehow the tarot cards know if you are not serious about finding answers and they will not respond to you.

Have a Happy Halloween!

    Great article. My advice if you are planning on letting others do readings too is to have an extra Tarot deck handy, you really don't want others leaving their energy on your cards.
