How I Start My Morning With Tarot (my personal tarot practice part one) 

My routine involves me obsessing over my decks and doing everything with them by my side for a few months and then forgetting they exist for a few weeks lol. I wonder if my decks think i am a creep because i fondle them through out the day for no reason 😅

I love the idea of the two card draw wroth the energy and the message. What a great way to incorporate more decks.

Right now, I have some tarot cards on my nightstand to help with my manifestations. I usually pull a couple of cards from my tarot and oracle deck. I will write them in my journal. I don’t have a set time.

Thank you for being so candid. I have been looking for other readers who share the inner process of using spreads and care meanings. Including your questions like: "How can I be a better me, today" was particularly insightful. This is how I use cards, as well.

Exactly what I needed. I was struggling with my structure. Watching you go through the process really helped 👍😁 thank you!

I really liked how you are combining tarot with oracle reading.

Thank you Dawn Michelle! When I do a reading for myself I basically do the 3 card spread and and that’s what I always ask “what can I do to be a better person” or what can I learn to help me on my journey with life in general! I love your three card spread with the oracle I’m gonna incorporate that! And yes coffee and Tarot! ☕️

This was so fun to watch! :) I'd like to do something similar eventually.. I have so many mini rituals with my cards and really enjoy hearing about others'!

This is wonderful! Thank you so much. I draw 2 cards, usually one Tarot, for message or what to focus on and one Oracle for the advice. Drawn around 11 PM, for the next day. Looking forward to part 2 from you.

Thank you Michele, it made me realize how much I miss my daily practice. Recently I have been too overwhelmed to even do a daily pool before I head off to work. And that’s exactly when I need to do a poll to center myself and prepare for my day. I really loved this video segment. Thank you again

I'm so glad I was guided to you. I asked for a way to structure my tarot practice. So with your guidelines I can make this my own. Thanks so much for sharing. Much love.

I’m an organic Tarot and Oracle reader but am most at home with Tarot. I don’t use spreads but I try to learn new ones or revisit them when I have time just to keep growing and learning. I read in the mornings and whenever I can during the day to ground myself. In the mornings, I usually ask what are my dreams trying to tell me (I have very vivid dreams) OR I’ll ask what messages are there for me for a better me, day, that leads for a better tomorrow. During the day, I’ll stop just because I need to or I’ll shuffle as I’m studying/working at home. Shuffling my cards are therapeutic. I may just allow a card to jump out in which I’ll take the time to study it before I return to that go-go-go mentality. At times, when I’m feeling stuck or unfocused on a material/project, I’ll ask for guidance as I shuffle. I read in 3s or 4s. Sometimes I’ll add a bottom row to confirm or to help guide me on how to obtain or release what was on the top row. Again, thank you for sharing.

Hi Dawn Michelle! I love tarot and oracle cards and have collected them the last 3 years. To be honest I am first now really beginning to use them in spreads. A couple of month’s ago I bought your studybook and I love it. So I now try to get to know every single card. Often I still just sit with the 78 cards and go through them - sometimes there is one right popping up and gives me some message. I love your morning routine and have to say I like it and it speaks to me, so I will give it a try and see how I like it.By the way it is so nice to see you, it feels like beeing at a friends for a cup of tea and just speaking about what we love and our experiences - please continue with that. Your videos are so full of knowledge and information and I am using them like a sort of library to go back to. The videos where you show how you do your journaling are real goodies. This video was an eyeopener for me - because you showed practice. That is super !!! One thing I really learned in your videos is, that MY way to work with the cards I have to find out and decide and YOUR way is yours. Nothing is wrong about that, nothing can be done wrong or can not be done, as long as I like it and feel comfortable with it. I always had the feeling my reading practice will first be right when I do it like xy or .. So thankfull that you encourage us, to find our own usefull way - no mather what we like, as long it is our way. I have really got a new sight of seeing the use of tarot and oracle cards. I felt so bad when I bought my first decks aand couldn’t bond with them. Just had to trim them and edge them. But felt so ashamed because I was ruining the cards (after many others meaning), so I never told one. After I found your account I feel reliefed, that there is someone who although trim, edge, cut, paint the cards. Now I love my cards and I connect with them on a deeper and so comforting way. Because nothing is wrong with that, becaus I paid for the cards and I can do with them what I want. Thank you so much for great videos, showing your own routines, letting us follow into your tarot and oracle world. Sharing your great wisdom and methods. Thank you for that ! Many greetings from Denmark and hopeing you are doing well. Love Nicole

I love the concept of the waterfall reading.

Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for sharing your morning rituals.

This is so helpful! I'm so glad I found your channel

This is brilliant! Thank you for sharing. I’ll definitely be doing this ❤

Thank you♡ I love your energy reading with an oracle for focus and tarot for embrace and release. I'm going to try that for a start. 🙂💜

Great video, thanks love 💜🦋🐦

You make wonderful videos and I've enjoyed them very much. Thank you.🕊️❤️

I love that tarot with the dots

Thanks for sharing, I feel my routine with tarot has evolved with me throughout the years and now I have a system that works well... but looking back, I can see how my tarot practice was a direct result of how I chose to connect with my decks every day! My brain works better at night and this is when I consult tarot for shadow work or for deeper insights. In the morning, my tarot spreads are aimed at practical things and how to get things done. I may start my day asking the tarot how to go about certain projects and finish the day asking stuff like: "Why am I feeling such and such in this situation?" ;-)

Loved this !! Can’t wait for the next videos 😊

Love your journal!

Thank you for this, I love all your videos! They have helped me a lot in my tarot practice.

Thank u so much for this xxx

Love it. Thankyou for your wonderful message and wisdom.

Love your ideas and positive energy.xoxo

I really loved this . I'm going to start using these spreads💜

Wow! Thank you so much for the inspiration and ideas for easy and powerful spreads to use that I definitely want to incorporate in my daily practice!

I like how organic this reading style is! Thank you for the tips :)

Really, really helpful... thank you 😊

Beautiful and greatly inspiring. Many thanks.

Thanx a lot loved the way you explained.bless you 😇

Thank you for sharing this really help me I’m a new subscriber now❤️

This was fabulous. I really enjoyed taking a peep into your Tarot practise, I found it really inspiring and motivational as well as very interesting. Thank you. The perfect way to spend half an hour after a super busy day at work. Looking forward to Part Two already! Every blessing. Sharon x x

Love you Boho, thank you for the great tips, it was so inspirational!!!!

Thank you for sharing! I just starred doing daily draws and I have 2 new oracle decks as well, and your energy reading is a great way to incorporate them into the morning reading!

So helpful !! I do morning pages 📄 but I may add this beautiful 3 cards practice in my pages . Thank you for being true 💝

I am loving your channel! Thankyou. I do morning tarot reads. 2 cards but I like your waterfall method.

Thank You :)

Thank you for thus. It is so helpful for me as im fairly new to the Tarot. I love the idea of drawing ine Tarot and one Oracle card a day. I love your Herbal Tarot.

Thank you for sharing this! I’ve been struggling with finding a routine and this sounds like something I could do. I just need to start getting up earlier 🥰

Love these little peeks into your personal practise. Thank you for another wonderful video, hope you are well xxx

I have finally found a way to start, using both tarot and oracle. In trying to discover a deck to learn with, i also learned I didn't mind buying beautifully artistic decks. So after a year of searching, I think I have a respectsble amount to learn and alternate, some are seasonal. But your two card spread, in a place where I won't be disparaged from a narcissitic d/v ex i was hoping next month, but it may be march OR april. I won't last that long in the same house, i will need to make alternate plans til my place will be ready. I look forward to a peaceful, UNDISTURBED routine, it's beyond his level of constraint until I was finished. It's been a long 37 years

Hi Dawn, I'm really enjoying your videos and learning much thank you for sharing your practice!!

Thank you for your video. Your ideas are great and thank you for sharing. The waterfall method is creative.👍

It was very nice to see you and i really love your ideas! I usually pull one to three cards when i get up to set the day and i am not very good about writing stuff down , so you have inspired me to do just that. I really love your waterfall readings ! I think that is a fantastic idea :-) Thank you for sharing. I very much enjoyed your video.

Thank you very much for sharing this. Ive been looking for ways to incorporate tarot more into my routine so this has really helped and inspired me. I usually pull three or four cards in the morning and then reflect on them as the day goes on.

I've heard some people say that for some people its better to read in the evening, about how was today's energy. Because if you get negative card in the morning, you might create a bad day for yourself because of the card. And I'm someone who'd definitely overthinking that and create a bad situation out of this. I'm only staring now so I'm still learning a lot, but sometimes I read in the morning too. I just asked about the days energy or simmilar things like that. But I like what you said about that if you get tower in the morning, you can change the day, just keep in mind that card.

This was very inspiring to watch, Dawn Michelle. 😊 I'm thinking about creating a Self-care Sunday practice of my own, using your Sunday tarot spreads. I have a journal that says "Boss Girl" on the cover that I think would be perfect for my self-care Sunday routine. 🙂

Hi Dawn, I'm just starting out with tarot. I'm using the Rider Waite tarot deck, the Wild Offering oracle cards and the Enchanted Map oracle cards. I have been viewing yourself, Lisa Papez and Katey Flowers youtube clips on all things tarot. I'm enjoying the way you and Lisa do your videos and readings. I have so much more to learn, but I am enjoying every bit of it.

Thank you so much, Dawn Michelle. I just 'found' your channel. Loved this video on Tarot practice. I've been wanting a discussion like this. * I do have a morning practice, and interestingly, it is quite similar to yours. Your video has provided a bit of structure for me to comtemplate. Actually, and more importantly, I found that the video validated what I presently do in the mornings. From the laying out of the cloth, and the lighting of the candle, to quietly holding the deck in my hands. I usually lay out 3 cards. I journal too, but it is usually on bits of paper that end up tossed away. Love your journalling ideas, and ... oh, the Notebook! Love it! * I really really like the Energetic Reading layout and explanation, and also the Waterfall Reading. Thank you so much for this video!!

I love these ideas and will be trying them out - especially ways of combining my Tarot and Oracle decks to see what energy, and what messages come up about how to apply it

I’ve gotten away from routine with all the craziness right now. Your video is very inspiring. This and your video on tarot journaling creatively has helped me so much create a new normal. Thank you for sharing!

Oh my gosh you have the Moon Void Tarot!!!!!! I still haven't purchased it yet but I absolutely love it, it's on my deck wishlist and one that I feel will be my soul and shadow work deck.

Great video, glad to see you are getting more comfortable in front of the camera. It makes the viewer feel more connected to your story.

In the waterfall reading, do you leave those cards out? Do you reshuffle each day? In other words, can you get the same card on Monday, Wednesday, and/or Friday?

Thanks for giving us a peak into your personal practice! I was doing a daily three card spread with tarot only in the mornings. But like everyone, my routine has been disrupted. And I have a few mornings each week that are very rushed. Monday’s are my weekend, so Monday morning I do a 6 card weekly spread, and I’m testing out doing the three card pulls for each day of that week. Then I’m recording my thoughts each morning. It isn’t my favorite since it is cutting out a lot of what makes me feel grounded - the ritual of setting the space and shuffling. But with the spouse underfoot I’m not finding it easy to do my full ritual in our tiny apartment.

Thank you for sharing this. I need to expand on my daily schedule and I feel this would help. I do the same thing with writing my thoughts down before putting them into my journal. I call it my brain dump. It can be just some simple words, feelings, and emotions surrounded around my reading. Then I take all of the brain dump things and write them in a cohesive journal entry. If I like the brain dump I will just tip it in into my journal with washi tape.

Meditative.

This was a GREAT video!! You do the BEST videos!! Do you have a video that goes over the Waterfall Spread in depth? I would like to see how you integrate the card reading as you add cards! Thank you for all the time you take to make your wonderful videos!!

I do a morning tarot With oracle cards practice if I feel guided I will sketch the card to connect even deeper to the energy. I ask what my higher self wants me to know and my unconscious self too what is hidden and then the best action to take in the energies. Love your practice too

So good ....so many wonderful tips..thanks for sharing. I have a morning practice...quite loosely...writing in my journal..pulling a few cards while I'm sitting at my desk before I get ready for work. It helps me to ground myself and focus on that particular energy. I have been enjoying for quite a while now..The Tarot Girl's weekly readings..which I then place the appropriate cards on my desk and switch them to the next card during the week. I then pull an oracle card to help with the vibe of the message I've received so far. I like the way it speaks to me while I'm planning in my diary or generally doing other tasks. Its place and prominence in my room shows my respect for my practice and how I feel about myself...it can also reflect the other side of my moods...lack of tidying my space etc. Its very much an important aspect of me...I don't know who I would be without Tarot.

I'm trying to figure it out ❤ from Illinois

This was so interesting! Thank you for sharing your personal practice. I, like you, start my day with the cards..... I have tea not coffee though!!!! I am a Sanguine temperament so my practice changes as my little sanguine brain moves on to the next shiny object!!!!! I usually ask a question like how can I grow today? Or what do I need to know about today? Or what lesson do I need to learn today..... I started my daily tarot practice many years ago with a five card spread.... starting in the east with a card to reflect/represent the intellectual realm, moving into the south to reflect passion, creativity, and drive, then into the west for emotions, relationships, and issues of the heart, up to the north for everyday practical issues and then into the center to reflect spiritual issues. That reading began to be too lengthy and involved so I now usually do that once a month. I usually combine tarot and oracle..... I have a lot of decks and I like to use as many as possible...... sometimes I'll use the same deck(s) for a week or more and sometimes like now, I'll change it up daily. I've recently been doing a daily reading for the Tarot Community on how we can stay safe, calm. and positive in the midst of the pandemic....... I often wonder what Id do without my tarot practice!!! Especially during challenging times. I find such comfort and inspiration from my daily tarot practice...... and sometimes the cards really like to kick my butt and that's ok, too!!!!

With everything going on in my life over the last few months I totally lost my morning routine. Your video makes me miss it even more - I should start again, even a little one will be nice. Thank you for the inspiration, Dawn Michelle. Looking forward to your next video. x

This is SUPER interesting to me. I keep thinking that maybe if I get a tarot table it'll get me doing tarot more, but I'm not sure if that's actually true. I really want to get tarot into my day, but it just doesn't happen naturally, as much as I adore tarot reading. And I have a similar approach to you, I think, at least in your morning readings--a lot of tarot for me is just about cultivating attention and thinking of things in a new way. So hearing some of your rituals is helpful inspiration, looking forward to the next :-) One of my goals is actually to *not* write everything down, so that reading feels less burdensome, but I like the setup with the coffee (or for me, tea!) and sitting with the cards, and the two-card daily could work well for my mornings. I've been wanting to pair tarot/oracle more. The waterfall is also fab! Do you just leave those cards out on your table, or do you put them back on Wednesday and Friday? (Sorry if you said this, I have auditory processing disorder and attention issues so it's reaallly hard for me to listen for a specific detail!)

🙌🦋👸🏾💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 I'm a beginner but I have already made 2 spreads for myself watching others... I'm trying to create a routine... for mornings and nights... and mid day... different questions that will help me be more mindful to stay in balance...💭

Is it just me or have you started to embrace being in front of the camera more often? I love it and I love your morning ritual - I would love to have a morning practice but under normal circumstances (ie. Not locked down due to a global virus) I am out the door really early in the morning to beat traffic. So I have just continued my evening reflection time as usual! Any time with my cards is my favourite part of my day!!!

Hello! I love your waterfall reading, what are the positions?

I tend to do a one card spread when I first wake up while I'm waiting for meds to kick in. I also work with one deck for that daily draw for a month.

Hi Dawn. I have 2 questions :) : do you read tarot card réversal ? And do you always take the card from above (or sometimes randomly in the middle)? Thank you :) (I looooooooove your vidéos so much, and bought your last ebook which is amazing!!)

Do the three positions in the Waterfall spread (staring with Monday) have assigned meanings, or are they more freeform?

What’s the name of the oracle cards you used here? Like them! I love your morning routine, thanks for the ideas.

Thanks for your video, really helpful. I was wondering, how would you recommend one go about learning the tarot? I've tried for years, but haven't found a great method that sticks. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing so generously. I have done a much scattered version of this for years. I have journals everywhere!! I have just started seasoning the Mary El Tarot deck and am definitely going to follow your sage advice. Deepest thanks 🤗

Where did you get your Tree of Life coin? I love it!!!

I would be curious to see how you store your decks. Seeing as how you are so creative and method driven, what way, (how, where) do you store your decks and do you know how many you have? Thanks! Much love ♡ Lori

I'm sorry if I missed it, but what is the deck at 3:09? I looked at all the decks you have links for and I don't see the one I'm asking about. Thank you in advance!

Sometime I need my tarot cards to tell me to do the dishes. Lol. But for real tho

But in the waterfall reading there are fewer and fewer cards in the deck each day you pull, right?

Do you happen to have custom tarot inserts for journals?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

When are you doing part #2?

how much time do you generally spend per day with your tarot practice?

What does each of the three cards represent so I know what the messages are?

What is the difference between a Tarot card and an Oracle card please?

:)

Great video and thank you for sharing. Question: where did you buy the small medallion on the top left by the plant?

I bet you are a virgo, taurus or gemini

I love the concept of the waterfall reading.
