correspondence and cards

Keep in mind that in certain decks, fire & air are
reversed (Nigel Jackson is one of them - where wands =
air & swords = fire).

Here's how I learned it (using most decks, especially
those based on Rider-Waite), you use the elemental
correspondence to find the sign.

Cups = Water = Pisces, Cancer & Scorpio

Wands = Fire = Aries, Leo & Sagittarius

Swords = Air = Gemini, Libra & Aquarius

Pentacles = Earth = Taurus, Virgo & Capricorn

You can also use the elemental associations to come up
with a time frame:

Pentacles/Earth: slowest moving, a year or more
Cups/Water: slow moving, months
Wands/Fire: fast moving, weeks
Swords/Air: fastes moving, days

Crystals and Tarot Cards
Peggy Jentoft


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. 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 com! bo in healing work many years ago but my choices
were intuitive.

Below are some suggestions from several different writers and other sources.

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.
