What is Tarot?

The tarot is a deck of 78 mystical cards. There are 22 cards that form the Major Arcana and represent individuals who personify a particular quality or archetype. The 56 cards of the Minor Arcana represent events, people, behaviour, ideas and activities that go on in our lives. For hundreds of years the tarot has been one of the most important Western mystical pathways for fortune-telling, divination and self -development. With connections to alchemy psychology, astrology, numerology, Kaballah, Christian mysticism, Eastern philosophy and many other esoteric traditions, the tarot is available to everyone. It is a mirror of the human soul.

Tarot is not 'spooky', nor is it 'evil', unless the person who uses it choose it to be so. The tarot is beyond our projection of good and bad and only reflects the energy of the moment and the reader. But we can project our goodness and badness onto it too. Using the tarot is a way to open yourself up to inner wisdom and hidden knowledge
Due to the Church's fear of anything esoteric that smacked of the occult, tarot became associated with the darker occultist arts, which is why people are often afraid of its power. Tarot is a symbolic pathway you can walk along on at any moment in life to see the truth about yourself 'through the looking-glass'. It is simply a series of stepping stones or secret pathways to self-discovery. It is a mirror to the self.
Tarot cards are mirrors of our emotions, feelings, soul and being. They are like reflections on a pond where the visual images remain the same but vibrate with ripples caused by natural energies like the wind. Tarot moves with you, so that you can work with life, not against it. The tarot provides a mirror image of ourselves at the moment we choose to look at our reflection. It is the past, present and future.
Tarot is about self-understanding and psychological growth. It provides an instant and direct way to understand the rhythms or patterns at work in your life.Uncannily, the tarot seems to 'predict' patterns or events that are about to happen. This may be our unconscious follow-up reaction based n the tarot's imagery at the reading. We often want a signpost to a decision, or a confirmation of our doubts or belief in a relationship. The tarot can give us clues to the sort of day we might have, or who we might fall in love with. The cards reflect our own hidden desires, actions and goals. It can also help to develop our own self awareness so that we can make conscious choices, understand the reasons behind a situation or give guidance as to the next stage of our personal life journey.
In fact, the tarot is all about you.
