Tarot is an ancient tool of divination – an insightful forecast about you and your environment that is clear, direct, and helpful. Tarot illuminates great wisdom and knowledge from the universe designed to strengthen our understanding of its inner workings, thus making our choices more directed and less difficult. At the heart of Tarot however is, “know thyself” so learning how to interpret the 78 cards of a Tarot deck will offer you the richest of insights - the insight of self awareness. As Guidance states, “Peace for self is peace for all.”
Every tarot reading tells a story, whether you pick one card or spread many on your table. This story can answer a specific question, help you with a personal message, or reflect back and validate what you already know about what you are doing and/or where you’re headed. You can learn how to interpret and read that story and I hope to help you here on this blog.
Tarot’s origins are a mystery, just as how Tarot works is a mystery. When we enter the realm of intuition – logic is not called for, but discernment is. Our rational minds are no longer in play, yet our integrity must be sharper than ever. I advise all of you seeking the wisdom of Tarot – to trust the cards, but more importantly learn – slowly and with focused attention to trust yourselves beyond measure.
A Tarot deck contains 78 cards: 22 cards are “Major” and 56 are called “Minor” cards. Within the 56 Minor cards, no matter what Tarot deck you choose, you will notice 4 distinct card suits and just like in a regular deck of cards, each suit will have 10 numbered cards Ace – 10. Each suit will also contain 4 Court Cards. Each Court Card is given a title according to your specific deck, but common Court Card titles are: Page, Knight, Queen and King. The majority of all "true" Tarot decks found in today's market follow the format from the popular Rider-Waite Tarot Deck published in 1909.
