Semiotics and the Oracle-X Deck User

Whether it is words, symbology, signs, images, interpretations, signification, 'ink blots', all can be perceived as part of semiotic studies.

Trying to define what semiotics actually is or could be is difficult if you wanted to find a Dummies Guide to Semiotics, as most people will not understand what you are on about.

We could try and sum it up and call it the understanding and study of signs ... but even that does not do it justice.

Semiotics are undertaken by Oracle-X readers every time we read our cards. To confuse things even more, the meaning (for us) of a given card one day could be very different the next day. This then gets more complex when one puts into the equation the position
of one or more cards in relation to the others.

We have an inbuilt guidance system which is strengthened each time we start to interpret the spread or cards in front of us. Our Intuition (inner education) can be accessed in many ways, Oracle-X being a particularly gentle way of opening up that inner wisdom
that we have collected over lifetimes of experience.

Like all our senses, it can both decrease and increase dependant upon how one is feeling mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally at the time we picking up our cards and begin laying them out in our chosen way.

Providing we have not inadvertently caused any blocks within ourselves; signs will just appear to spring out at us as we glance across the cards. If we are reading for another person they, especially if they do not know us, might reasonably wonder what all
these cards are telling us and how anyone could possibly interpret anything from our spread and probably think we are more eccentric or insane rather than gifted.

.... but surprise, surprise, our intuition is making sense of this collection of cards, and for those that believe cartomancy is for entertainment purposes only, it dawns upon them that information is flowing from the cards and truths are beginning to surface.

After the reading has completed and our client has gone away contented (if all has gone well) we can reflect upon how much we have improved and how the signs pointed to the words that we uttered helpfully across the table. Of course, it was not really the cards
that made the moment as they are merely a tool to allow your inner wisdom; yes, I did say your inner wisdom. The understanding that your unique deck is a tool to unleashing your abilities should be well understood.

The deck simply is the enabler for you. Like a fine master craftsperson whose choice of tools helps to achieve wonderful outcomes, your choice of unique deck has been important to the readings outcome. You should pat yourself on the back.

Whilst on the subject of that after reading 'glow', how many times has more information come into your head in the quarter hours after you are alone with your thoughts? This is all perfectly natural and can be closed off if required by a suitable mini-ritual
to shut yourself down. By this I do not mean going out into the garden and running around a bonfire naked..... but simply having a glass of water, a thank you to your guides or gatekeeper, even the munching of a single chocolate biscuit. Totally your choice,
but whatever you choose try and stick to the same ritual as this works better.

Returning to our semiotics, have we now moved from signs to an actual understanding of how meaning is created, or have we started to study paradigmatic relations instead?

With that I will leave you all to ponder.
