Hi folks. I keep running across the term "gate cards" in reference to the tarot cards, and I'm wondering if anyone knows which cards are the gate cards, and what it means to be a gate card in a reading.
Hi, there is a previous thread on the topic here, which includes what cards Rachel Pollack considered Gate cards: http://www.tarotforum.net/library/16/2003-04/gate-cards-rachel-pollack-20030425.shtml
It refers to cards that lend themselves more easily as gateways to meditation or visualization. Cards that are particularly enigmatic or visually interesting. Theoretically any card can be a gate card, but the majors especially.
I'm not a big reader so I'm not much help on that part.
