This is for those of you sitting on the fence, wondering what tarot really is and what might you experience if you got a reading.
The very word “tarot” is suggestive and it conjures up images of psychics or fortune tellers seen behind a velvet curtain in the back room through clouds of incense smoke and crystal balls or secret ceremonies conducted by moonlight.
Maybe you think of something you saw in a movie like Whoopie Goldberg in “Ghost” saying “You in danger girl”, or like when Lisa Simpson goes to the tarot card reader and receives messages that are vague and mysterious.
If you were to ask anyone on the street about Tarot, and what do they think about Tarot, you’d probably hear all kinds of things. Like “Oh that’s the thing that tells you your future?” Or “tarot scares me. It’s just going to tell me something bad,” or, “I don’t want to know what’s going to happen to me. I don’t want anyone reading my mind” Or, even worse, you might get people who are saying, “Tarot is evil,” or, “That’s the Devil’s work.”
And that’s really sad because a lot of these perceptions of what Tarot is, are actually quite incorrect; or are not in full alignment with what the potential of Tarot really is.
Tarot really works, in a way that’s constructive, enlightening, and empowering. It’s actually a tool to connect with your inner wisdom.
We all have intuition within us, it’s just a matter of opening up our minds and allowing us to really receive more of those intuitive messages, and to give time and space to our intuition.
Tarot isn’t about predicting your future soulmate’s name or the winning lottery numbers.
Tarot helps you define your direction while getting clarity about your situation and the steps required to create your best future.
The Tarot reveals what’s really happening below the surface of events around us. It is a visual medium; those of you who love pictures, art, music, design – anything picture related – can appreciate all the rich colors, symbols, numbers, and archetypes present in the Tarot cards.
You don’t need any special powers to read tarot cards. You don’t need to come from a magical background or have grown up in a forest talking to spirits.
I believe that everyone has the capacity to open themselves up to their intuition and read people in their own way.
Tarot cards have no evil powers. Tarot cards are not a genie in a lamp or a fairy Godmother. And definitely not a magician.
Tarot cards are powerful, no doubt, but they certainly don’t have the powers to summon any spirit that will fulfill your wishes, or change your destiny.
We all have free will. Tarot doesn’t create your future, you create your future.
Tarot is more about tapping into your intuition than it is about having to be connected to a psychic ability of some sort.
How you connect with your intuition matters. Tarot is one way of accessing your inner wisdom and receiving guidance to make aligned choices in your life.
Basically, Tarot can give you that deep insight into any part of your life. It’s a tool that helps you listen to and trust your intuition.
