 Three reader's view on Tarot.
This is a combined spread done by 3 people. the 5 cards on the left is by me, the 5 cards in the middle is by Wen and the last 5 cards are for Kendrick. We all focused and asked the question what are our views on tarot. It was an experimental spread.
My cards are 1) 9 of swords, 2) queen of cups 3) the Magician 4) the devil 5) Judgement.
Wen's cards are 1) king of swords 2) the lovers (reversal) 3) 9 of swords (reversal) 4) 3 of wands (reversal) 5) 5 of wands
Kendricks's cards are 1) knight of cups 2) the temperence 3) knight of pentacles 4) 3 of pentacles 5) the emperor.
This is what the cards tell me.
My cards are 1) 9 of swords,worries. I feel that the tarot is about helping people with worries and problems to give hope or insight to those who seek it.
2) queen of cups, attribution, scopio a bit of intuitive process for me that the cards come to me intuitively.
3) the Magician, certain strenght in the occult is needed to do tarot reading and you need to be like the magician to be in control to use it.
4) the devil, there are laws and rules to bind tarot. it is not a game and should not be taken lightly, this card to me serves as a warning.
5) Judgement. On the whole tarot is to give judgement and opinion on a matter which is divine.....
To me Tarot is an intuitive art which requires skill, talent and rules to use in order to give judgement on a matter.
Wen's cards are
1) king of swords. master of communication, master of technicality attributed to Gemini knowledge and facts are key here.
2) the lovers (reversal)communication and not being personal are key words here to say what the cards tell and to do a reading as objective as possible
3) 9 of swords (reversal) worries or problems solver to help others
4) 3 of wands (reversal) instead of awaiting for answers, the seeker can look for insight and answers to the questions.
5) 5 of wands conflicts give rise to all which seek the tarot in conflict or in turmoil do one turns to tarot.
I feel wen's view on the tarot is as follows it is a technical thing. one to solve problems to those who seek and one in which the tarot reader must be as objective as possible.
LastlyKendricks's cards are
1) knight of cups new ideas friends to be made good to break the ice between people
2) the temperence actions and thoughts are one. What is in the mind is shown in the cards. what cannot be seen or articulated in speech is now made real
3) knight of pentacles to have achievement or be given physical being
4) 3 of pentacles to gain achievement and be appreciated by others.
5) the emperor. to be in control and to gain mastery over others. to be given great responsibility.
I feel Kendrick feels that tarot is new to him. it gives him a lot of insight and power. it lets him break the ice with new friends and have more topios to talk to with others. In his blog he wrote with great power comes great responsibility. In i certain sense i agree with him. Tarot cards are a very good tool.With great power responsibility comes as well. Stan lee...
All three are all my views on this particular reading and gives a clear sight of how we three approach the use and learning of tarot... looking at Wen's and Kendrick's readings, i draw strength and reminders of the truth of tarot seen as a diamond through other's eyes. 
"When people consult me, it's not that I'm reading the future; I am guessing at the future. Based on the omens of the present. If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it, what comes later will also be better."
