We as souls experiencing a human life yearn to understand ourselves, and make sense of our lives and purpose. We long for connection, for knowledge, and for growth.

Just as there are many aspects of the One Spirit that is essentially all part of one living web, so there are many different tools we can use to understand the language of Spirit to tell us our purpose and guide us on this adventure we call life. From Runes, to Tea Leaves, Palmistry, Astrology, Sacred Medicines, and many more, the variety of ways in which we can access what is required of us to live to our highest potential and to understand how best to live this life is endless. The answers are deep within us, and all we need to do is reach inside and draw them out. Our subconscious mind controls at least 97% of our responses & behaviour, storing memories, experiences, and lessons across the ages of all our lives. Our subconscious is therefore a treasure house of solutions we should use to our advantage.

Tarot unlocks these treasures, through images, art, pictures & impressions. Think about when you were a child – your thinking mind had not matured yet, so much of the impressions you got were through what you saw, how you felt. Children have very permeable boundaries and these impressions stuck inside us, creating all the reactions we as adults don’t fully understand. Our adult minds have unfortunately sealed up this information, but Tarot is an amazing way to break in and bring forth stored wisdom. Another good example of how the Tarot works is thinking about the symbolism of dreams – those crazy images you have no idea were even there – those are all rich in messages using symbolism, the way our subconscious mind interprets experiences.

Tarot also helps us to exercise our innate intuition. The “knowing”. Intuition can be likened to the heart, and the intellect, the mind. Intuition, when accessed properly, can be one of the greatest muscles you’ll ever use.

And of course, Tarot is used to foretell the future. How much can we control or change what is read for us? Well, think of the reading as a snapshot in time, frozen. The reading gives you an overview of what is going on in our lives right now, allowing you to make conscious and empowered choices for the future. So whilst the present is the way it will be reflected, we have within ourselves the power to choose how we react to the events that happen around us and that we attract, whether within or without our control. The jury is still out on this, and it is up to you to decide how much you think is within your control and how much is not. In my opinion, we have the ability to make better choices only once we become aware of what we hold onto subconsciously and release that. Then, our lives shift for the better. A Karmic pattern is only broken once it is recognised.
