Tarot
No one can be sure where the Tarot came from. The symbols and imagery date back as far as ancient Egypt and beyond. Tarot cards have also been found in the Middle East and Europe.
Within the symbology of different cards you can find links with everything from Astrology, Numerology and indeed Christianity. One particular deck is said to have many secret Masonic rituals hidden in plain sight. Interesting perhaps, but not important. You don’t need an understanding of any of these subjects to use the cards. You also can happily do so without following or believing in any of these areas.
I believe the cards are a tool to access our own intuition. Some of the most eminent psychiatrist and psychologists believe in a kind of universal sciousness. A vast pool of knowledge, if you will, that in the right circumstances and ditions people, and sometimes animals draw on, perhaps forming a link to a higher place and somehow accessing information that in the normal run of things isn’t available.
I believe that the tarot is merely a tool, nothing sacred or special. They either help you to access your own intuition or psychic ability or perhaps give access to this pool of universal knowledge. It matters; I feel not, one iota what you personally believe. Tarot can work.
For the more sceptical, let’s say that at the very least you may accept that they could help form a link between your scious (your reality right now) and your sub-scious unscious (your reality that is going on right now but of which you are unaware)
It is helpful when learning how to use them, to glean a basic understanding of their meanings and also how not to use them. I hope to guide you to use
Tarot
Is a tool that aids you to develop and trust your own intuition.
