What is Tarot… and what it isn’t
What Tarot isn’t
It seems an odd place to start, but in order to explain what Tarot is, we need to start with the misconceptions around what Tarot isn’t. Pretty much everyone has heard of Tarot, which is often accompanied by an all-knowing eye roll.
Right off that bat:
Tarot isn’t a fortune-telling party trick
Tarot cannot:
• Predict your future or the outcome of a situation
• Give you bad news or tell you are going to DIE (the classic tarot myth)
• It cannot tell you what to do (and FYI no-one should; your life is YOUR responsibility)
• having a reading cannot change your life unless YOU decide to take action to do so.
You also cannot pull cards for someone else – ethically, it’s a big no no, and do you really want to be a spiritual snoop?
So now we have cleared that up (phew)
So, what is Tarot?
Simply put, tarot is an emotional GPS navigation tool that you can use, for when you feel stuck, are mentally or emotionally lost or want to understand more about a situation.
It helps to clarify where you are now (Location A) and the route required to reach the outcome (Location B) or, simpler still, how to find the solution to your problem.
Will a Tarot reading change my life?
No. But potentially, it could.
Can owning a pair of trainers make you lose weight? No. But if you wore those trainers and walked several miles a week, then potentially, yes.
Can one meditation session cure your anxiety? No.
But regular meditation can equip you with the tools to recognise and calm an anxious moment.
Your life will not change just because we had a conversation.
The key to changing your life after a tarot reading is
– giving yourself the time and space to make an informed change.
About me
Let’s be honest, all you really want to know is, by parting with hard earned digital cash, are you going to come away from a reading with me inspired enough to make a change?
And to that, I say, of course, you are! Why do I know that? Let me tell you.
Flash back
Pandemic 2020. The end of the world as we know it. Confusion, panic, and for me, major life regrets about what I had been too busy to accomplish since I was 17. Learn Tarot.
Do it Later turned into Do it Now.
Some people started walking and others turned to art (or drink). I joined an online Tarot School and studied psychology and the art of trusting your intuition. After 18 months of intense study, around 50 written practice readings and the final exam to deem me competent to bestow emotional and practical wisdom to the masses, I passed my certification as a Tarot Advisor.
Like anything in life, you never stop learning, and I continued to read for myself and others. As my thirst for a deeper understanding of tarot card meanings and intuition grew, several opportunities opened up for me to connect with like-minded people, places and, more importantly, teachers.
Since December 2020, I have studied ‘mediumship’ under the wonderfully gifted Kim Claydon at Kallima Spiritual Centre in Wickford. This profound ability has enabled me to connect with my clients on a deeper emotional level during my tarot readings.
Flash forward
Flash forward to 2024, and I am proud to have enrolled as a new student of ‘Rewilding the Tarot’ with renowned teacher and founder of Tarot for the Wild Soul, Lindsey Mack.
You never stop learning, only expanding.
The pandemic gifted me the greatest blessing: a deepened passion for spiritual knowledge, empowering me to better understand and help you on your journey – wherever that may be.
