The Magic of the
Tarot
Tarot cards can be viewed as art, meditation symbols, or
tools of divination. The truth is tarot
cards are all of the above, and much more.
They represent the spiritual lessons and Universal forces that we
encounter in our journey through life.
The tarot uses pictures, colors and ancient symbols to communicate with
our subconscious mind. Even someone who
has no prior knowledge of the tarot can often look at a card and be hit with
the meaning. The cards are both visual
and visceral – we see what’s happening on the card, and receive the message on
a gut level.
The tarot works by
the principle of Synchronicity, a term coined by psychoanalyst Carl Jung. Simply put, it means that the Universe is
full of meaningful coincidence and that there is a Divine Order orchestrating
seemingly random events. When someone
shuffles the cards while making a sincere request for guidance, their energy draws
those particular cards to them that tell a story about their life.
Much of what the tarot reveals concerns a person’s outlook,
his or her unique challenges & gifts, relationship dynamics and windows of
opportunity. A gifted tarot reader will
be able to tap into the bigger cosmic picture. She can often see into the karmic
patterns from a past life, and give you guidance on ways to heal them. She may also channel personal messages from
your angels and guides on specific matters, such as career, finances or love.
When receiving a reading it’s important to remember that
much of the future is not set in stone. It is fluid, and can be influenced by
your free will, choices and intentions.
The future is like a railroad track, with alternate tracks veering off
in different directions. A good reading
can tell you what track you’re on, and where it may lead. If you don’t like where you’re headed, there
are many ways to “jump tracks” through changing your mindset and actions, and
with divine help.
Many people come to a reader when they are at a crossroads
and don’t know what path to take. A
reader can do a spread on the various choices, and describe what the energy
looks like spiraling out from those choices. Ultimately, it is always up to the
client to make their own decisions, but it can be really helpful to have a
compassionate and confidential ear during the process. A reading often confirms what your own
intuition has been telling you all along.
The simple act of hearing it from a stranger who knows nothing about you
beforehand however, can make you finally sit up and take notice!
