Tarot Intro

The Tarot is a tool to bring your subconscious and spiritual knowledge to the surface where you can act on it – thereby creating a better life for yourself.

The Tarot works with your Spirit and your subconscious mind. Both of these elements of you hold surprising information about you – information that you may normally ignore or suppress. Tarot readings can make you cry – not because of a dire prediction, but because they tell you the truth.

The truth is a powerful thing. We hide from it more often than we care to admit! We’re at times fearful of the truth because admitting it means that we must accept it. If the truth is hurtful, then we must do something about it. The Tarot uses truth to call you to action.

Unfortunately, many people use Tarot in an attempt to divine the future. If you believe that something is ‘in the cards’, that something is unstoppable, it means that there is nothing you can do about it! If it’s going to happen despite your best efforts, you may as well resign yourself to a failed relationship, bankrupt business or other dire prediction.

When you use the Tarot to tell your future, you fall into failure instead of finding solutions. Using the Tarot to predict your future is self-defeating.

Tarot is best used as an information source. It draws out your truths so you can better deal with them. Tarot can make a situation painfully transparent – but letting it go or resolving to fix it is completely and totally your choice.

Discovering the truth about yourself can make you want to crawl into a deep dark cave. You always have the choice to crawl into that cave if you want, but fixing the problems from the depths of a cave is no way to create the life of your dreams!

When you use the Tarot to learn, grow and change, you tap into Spirit’s desire. Spirit wants you to live a complete, joyful, peaceful life. You cannot create your dream life without tapping into Spirit’s infinite wisdom. Tarot is the tool to use when you are tired of listening to your own bad advice.
