Tarot Meanings Dictionary Q-Z
This is a continuation of the Tarot
Meanings Dictionary listing terms beginning with the letter "Q"
through "Z."
The Tarot Meanings Dictionary is
designed to provide definitions of Tarot terms as well as provide meanings to Tarot
related subjects.
I might not have covered all the
terms associated with the realm of Tarot, but I sure tried to include all the
highlights. I hope these Tarot dictionary pages help as a reference and guide.
Querent: For whom a Tarot reading is given. The person who is questioning, and
recieving the interpretation of the Tarot cards. If you are giving a reading
for yourself, you are both reader and querent.
Quintessence: Pythagoras defined quintessence as the fifth element or the spirit that
fills the universe. It is the epitome of vitality and energy - it is pure
essence. Included in the Tarot Meanings Dictionary because of its meaning as
well as its geometric representation (see pentagram).
Reversals: In a Tarot reading, reversals refer to cards that are up-side-down.
Some Tarot readers interpret reversed cards differently than if they were
right-side-up. Some practitioners assign opposite meanings to cards when they
are reversed. Others assign a meaning of delay, or dullness (not as powerful) to
a card's original meaning. Using reversed meanings in a spread is up to the
discretion of the Tarotist.
Right-hand
Path: A spiritual, intellectual, philosophical path one
chooses to take which will align one's thoughts with such attributes as virtue,
illumination, positive thought, love, truth, beauty, etc. Taking the Right-hand
path is a devotion and commitment to experiencing and expressing the afore
mentioned attributes. Included in the Tarot Meanings Dictionary because those
who choose to know the esoteric teachings (such as Tarot) do so for the
right-hand path reasons.
Rods:
A suit in the Minor Arcana of the Tarot that typically
represent creative direction, social activities, action, and enterprise. Rods
correspond with the element of fire. Also referred to as Wands.
Second
Sight: The ability to receive visions or impressions by
means other than the five senses or reason. See also clairvoyance.
Sensitive: In the context of the Tarot Meanings Dictionary, a Sensitive is a
person who possesses a heightened awareness, or is extremely sensitive to
essences or energies that are unseen. One who is able to sense things in a way
that does not require reason or use of the five senses. A Sensitive may also be
called an intuitive , or pyschic
Significator: Also known as a Signifier, this term refers to a chosen Tarot card that
represents the querent. Choosing a significator is up to the Taroist's
discretion and if chosen, should be done so before the reading.
Smudging: A ritual purification by means of smoke. A common practice performed by
ancient cultures as well as Native American Indians, and modern day
practitioners of sacred practices. Included in the meanings dictionary because
many Taroists use smudging to cleanse their decks after a reading. It is
thought that the smoke lifts out any possible negative energy and purifies the
deck. Sage is commonly burned for smudging purposes. See also incense.
Spread: Also known as a layout, this term refers to the process of laying the
cards out in a certain order so as to conduct a reading. Typically, the Tarot
cards are drawn one-by-one and laid out on a table. The Tarot reader will
determine the meaning of each position where each card is set. For example, a
common three card spread may indicate past, present and future. The reader will
lay the cards horizontally from left to right. The reader may determine the
meaning of the positions as such: the far left position is a card indicating
the past, the middle card is the present, and the far right card position
indicates the future.
Swords: A suit in the Minor Arcana of the Tarot that typically represents
thoughts, mental attitudes, sometimes also considered to be
"challenge" cards as these support cards often indicate where the
querent is experiencing difficulty in life. The suite of swords corresponds
with the element of air.
Synchronicity: A term coined by Dr. Carl Jung which alludes to a belief that there no
accidents, all events are connected. Further, when one experiences
synchronicity it can be likened to serendipity - events happening at the right
time and the right place. Jung proposed that synchronicity is the process of
the unconscious or dreaming mind aligning itself with the waking world. This
term is included in the Tarot Meanings Dictionary because Jung also proposed
that the outcomes of Tarot readings are a result of our unconscious mind
impressing the cards. The synchronicity here is "what you think, is what
you get" in terms of the cards drawn in a reading.
Symbology: Simply, the study of symbols. Included in the Tarot Meanings Dictionary
because the Tarot is a system based on symbols, and one should consider making
a commitment to study all manner of symbols in order to excel as a Tarot
reader. One who studies symbols is sometimes referred to as a symbologist.
Taroc: Another term for Tarot.
Tarot: A deck of 78 cards used for
divination, self-help, development of intuition as well as spiritual and
psychic growth.
Third
Eye: Sixth of the main in-line chakras located at the
center of the forehead slightly above the eyebrows. Often thought to be the
seat of psychic powers. Included in the Tarot Meanings Dictionary because many
Taroists develop their third eye and use it to enhance readings by providing
more profound psychic insight to the reading.
Triumph
or Trump: Terms for the Major Arcana cards in the Tarot deck.
Vital
Force: Another term for Chi, Prana, or the Divine Energy.
See Life-force.
Wands: A suit in the Minor Arcana of the Tarot that typically represent
creative direction, social activities, action, and enterprise. Rods correspond
with the element of fire. Also referred to as Rods.
