What is Tarot?
“Some people believe tarot cards are a form of black magic or senseless new age mysticism but for me they are a practical way of talking directly to the universe.”
I know a lot of people understand Tarot cards to be a tool for divination. However, their magic goes beyond mere fortune-telling. Tarot can serve as a mirror, reflecting our innermost thoughts, feelings, and situations. The cards illustrate the common themes of humanity, our struggles and triumphs, our goals and desires. What we see in each card echoes our own hidden dreams, fears, and questions, inviting us to explore the depths of our own psyche.
I have heard Tarot referred to as, ”The poor man’s psychotherapy” and it really is a great tool for uncovering hidden desires and healing old wounds that may be holding us back from living our best lives. Its like having a friend to chat with. One who is objective and can be trusted with secrets. They are always available on a whim, to delve into any topic you want to explore.
Tarot reading offers self-reflection, encouraging us to delve deeper into our subconscious. By interpreting the cards, we can uncover hidden motivations, desires, and obstacles in our lives. It's not just about predicting the future; it's about understanding the present, allowing for growth and transformation.
Tarot is also a fantastic tool for boosting confidence and offering reassurance, acting as a gentle guide. You may be wondering if taking action on a specific topic is a good idea. Asking the cards offers a way to look at the situation from a new perspective. And to ask yourself questions.
If you like the message the cards offer, this may be the nudge you need to go forward with a new idea. If you don’t like the message offered, ask yourself, Why? Are you sure this something you really want? If so, then what fears or hesitation may be holding you back?
In relationships, Tarot can serve as a powerful tool to shine a light on our emotional landscapes, allowing us to step back and examine our connections more objectively. Rather than diving in headfirst without thinking or falling back into old, familiar patterns that may no longer serve us, Tarot encourages reflection and insight.
We may discover meanings behind the cards that represent our feelings, needs, and potential outcomes, we can gain clarity on what truly matters, fostering healthier interactions and helping us make choices that align with our highest selves. This playful exploration into our lives and romantic dynamics can transform uncertainty into understanding, guiding us towards more fulfilling relationships.
The cards may gently illuminate our current circumstances, guiding us to confront the truth of our experiences. This playful dance between card and reader reveals not only what lies beneath the surface but also the paths we might take. In this way, Tarot becomes a trusty confidant, helping us make sense of our emotional landscapes and offering insights that might otherwise remain shrouded in shadow.
Find comfort and encouragement in the cards.

Tarot an enchanting journey into the self. Each card whispers secrets of your past, present, and potential future, providing unique insights that can illuminate your path.
