Crystals and Tarot cards

     Many people have personal associations between specific  Tarot  cards and crystals.
and several books and tarot traditions also have  lists of correspondences.

    Some people use  Crystals in a  form of divination with or like  Tarot cards. They may substitute crystals for the Tarot cards or  read the Tarot card for  chosen crystals. You can also  use the crystals to enhance or carry the energy and intention of specific Tarot card in healing or other work. Ursula  Markam's "Fortune telling with Crystals & Semiprecious Gemstones"  It is out of print and  I have not seen copy yet but have long done my own work in this area  inspired by Mary Greers' book " Tarot for Yourself".

I have a German  Gemstone Tarot deck which has very nice  images of a crystal or stone on each card .
The designations are different than the suggestions I've listed. The deck is quite nice  though  the Major Arcana are not numbered  and One would have to be very familliar  with  Tarot card meanings to use the deck in Tarot readings. I wrote the numbers on the major arcana cards to help me .

      I cannot offer any particular guidance on using crystals as Tarot cards directly. Though one way you can use this correspondence is to choose the crystal that most attracts you or another person  and  consider the qualities and information of  the related Tarot card.   I had used used a Tarot, crystal combo in healing work many years ago but  my choices were intuitive. Below are some suggestions from several different  sources including some personal choices.  Most people seem to stick with the major arcana  unless they have a crystal Tarot deck. Stone Divination is called lithomancy there are many different forms of stone divination.  You can  draw the stones from a bag  or cast them into a circle and read the stones as you would read the Tarot.


    For healing work and enhancing affirmations  You can charge or infuse or harmonize a clear quartz crystal  or an appropriate stone with a specific tarot card energy. Usually this is done by holding the card and the  crystal together, or  putting the crystal on the cards and using focused attention/ intention to request and fix the energy to be carried by the crystal.  Many people carry clear quartz  with their Tarot cards .
