**  TAROT PROSPERITY GAME  **
       © 2005, James Wells

The following is a game that James Wells described in the January 2005 issue
of his newsletter,
The Six-Rayed Star.  (For information on James’s work see
his blog.)

In this card game, there's no pitting brother against sister or any need to cheat.
It's about sharing, insight, and having fun while learning about ourselves and
each other.  

The Tarot Prosperity Game addresses something that haunts the minds of a
good chunk of the North American population -- our relationship with money
and abundance.  This Prosperity Game will help to dissolve barriers and open
doors to a more prosperous path. Be sure to play it with people who are
supportive, caring, and fun to be with!

So, get out your favorite deck of tarot cards, some friends, and a few
munchies. Set aside an afternoon or evening to just hang out and enjoy each
other's company as you explore abundance through the cards.    Here's how to
play:

1. Each player at the table is dealt four cards.

2. One at a time, each player lays down a card (any one from his/her hand)
and talks about it in terms of "My challenges with regard to financial prosperity".

3. Next, each player, in turn, lays down a second card and talks about it in
terms of "What prosperity really means to me."

4. Third, each player, in turns lays down a third card and talks about it in terms
of "What I can do to achieve greater prosperity over the next [agreed upon
time frame]."

5. The fourth card each player offers is given to the person in his/her left and
completes this statement: "My prosperity wish for you is..." Each recipient can
also comment on the card s/he receives from his/her neighbor and its
appropriateness for him/her.

6. Complete the game by talking about common themes, recurring symbols,
insights gained, resources and contacts for one another, steps you'll take to
grow in prosperity, and so forth.

Remember to turn your insights into concrete actions, no matter how small.  Do
one of these actions over the next 24 hours to show yourself you're willing to
walk the prosperous path.  All of you will walk away from this game a winner!

** COMPARING TAROT SNAPSHOTS **

This game was inspired by the book, Back in Time Tarot by Janet Boyer.  Here
are the "rules" of the game:

1.  The group decides on a person or event with which they are all familiar.  
This may be something or someone in the news, in pop culture, or wi
thin their
common set of experiences.

2.  Each person looks through their deck to find a card that (for them)
resonates with their impression of this person or event.  Choose the first card
that you find that does this.

3.  Going around the circle, each person shares what card s/he picked and
why.  Other people can then discuss what significance they see in that card.

4.  When everyone has taken a turn, the group may compare and contrast the
various cards that were chosen.

Note that this is an excellent way for a group of people to explore their
individual perceptions of an event that they were all involved in.
