REDISCOVERING YOURSELF THROUGH TAROT.
As Tarot has been used for centuries, we now find ourselves in a new age where people are increasingly becoming more connected to themselves. However, amidst the distractions and operations of our society, some individuals remain blind to their true essence.
For centuries, Tarot has been a powerful tool for connecting with one’s soul self and seeking guidance from guardian angels, spirit guides, and ancestors. By embracing the Tarot, you can elevate your being and connect with your true divine self, enabling you to live with greater intention and purpose during your time on Mother Earth.
WHAT DECK TO USE?
To get started, I recommend using the Rider’s Tarot Deck, an excellent foundation for beginners. Once you feel comfortable with this deck, you can explore other options and incorporate them into your practice. The Rider’s Tarot Deck is widely regarded as a foundational tool for Tarot, and you can find resources and information on it on many websites and other locations.
CREATING A CLEARING.
Before you begin your reading, ensure you are in a good and clear state of mind. This will help to avoid any negative energy that may impact the accuracy of your reading, even in your single daily card.
Also, when conducting a tarot reading, call upon your guides, guardian angels, and ancestors for guidance and support as you seek answers to your question(s).
Here’s a suggested mantra to use before your tarot reading:
Dear guardian angels, spirit guides, and ancestors, please assist me with [question]. Connect me to my higher divine self and ground me deep into the earth. Guide me towards a deeper understanding of [question] by connecting me to the divine Universe (or God).
Visualize a white and golden bubble aura all around you as you recite this mantra. Imagine this aura coming from above and below, grounding you and connecting you to the universe in your search for truth. You may also think/imagine it as plugging yourself into the computer, allowing you to connect to an answer(s) and insights from the Akasha records.
Maybe consider the movie “Avatar” –
Perhaps you can draw inspiration from the movie ‘Avatar,’ where Na’vi connect their tails to the Tree of Souls to communicate with Eywa. However, it’s essential to remember that you must be in a positive and intentional state of mind and be intentional with your question in mind before connecting to the universe for guidance.
I say general questions because, with the insights and intuition gained from the reading, you will be able to dissect what you are seeking clarification on.
WHEN AND HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU USE TAROT READINGS?
Tarot readings can be done daily or weekly, using different spreads to suit your needs. I suggest doing a daily card until you gain comfort with the practice, and as you become more comfortable, you can progress to more extensive weekly spreads. The focus of your reading can vary based on your focus or concerns, such as relationships, spiritual development, career, and more.
RESOURCES I RECOMMEND GETTING BETTER WHEN UNDERSTANDING THE FOUNDATION.
There are many websites available to help you find the meaning of tarot cards and even classes to learn more about them. Ultimately, you must choose what works best for you, like finding a soul mate. One person or resource may be great, but it may not be the right fit for you.
Trust yourself. Experiment. If a particular approach or resource doesn’t resonate with you, try something different. This is all part of the learning and growth process. Be kind to yourself and be true to your values and your true divine self.
ADVICE FOR INTERPRETING TAROT CARDS AND DEVELOPING YOUR INTUITION.
While finding the meaning of tarot cards online can be helpful, it’s important to remember that connecting with your own intuition and insights is crucial. Your personal interpretation may differ from what you see on a website or someone else’s interpretation, and that’s okay. Trust your intuition and let it guide you in your tarot practice.
Just like your dreams, you are the best person who can make an accurate interpretation because only you know what is happening in your life. To do so, it’s important to be connected with your inner being and avoid getting caught up in your rational mind.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS ON TAROT READING AND INTERPRETATION.
Before diving into interpreting tarot cards for others or experimenting with different spreads, it’s important first to establish a strong foundation and focus on understanding the meanings of the cards on your own terms. Taking this step can greatly aid in the interpretation process and help you develop your intuition further.
When seeking out a teacher or mentor in tarot, it’s important to choose someone who empowers you with the necessary tools and knowledge to stand on your own two feet. Avoid becoming dependent on a teacher and instead, aim to cultivate a sense of independence and confidence in your own abilities.
A true tarot teacher or mentor will empower you to grow and evolve beyond their guidance, encouraging you to venture out on your own: as you, too, guide others in their own journeys. Be wary of those who create dependency and hold you back from developing independence and confidence in your own abilities.
FINAL THOUGHTS.
The power to create the life you want lies within you. It all starts with giving birth to the idea in your mind, but it doesn’t stop there. You must take action to make it a reality. Don’t let your birthing thoughts remain in your mind; bring them to life through your actions. Remember, your thoughts and actions are the building blocks of your reality.
I’ll leave you with some quotes below to sit with:
“Always believe that the impossible is always possible.”
Selena’s Quantilla
“The graveyard is the richest place on earth because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid [or too disconnected] to take the first step to keep with the problem or determined to carry out their dream.”
Les Brown
The practice of Tarot can be a powerful tool for grounding oneself and connecting with one’s soul and true purpose. Yes, Tarot is one of the tools available for self-discovery and personal growth, so why not use them if they aid your progress?
