Tarot 101
Here’s a quick primer on the Tarot – what it is, whence it came, how it’s used and where to learn more.
The Tarot is a collection of 78 cards, divided into two categories, the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. The word “arcana” simply means a secret, a mystery or something that is hidden.
How to Get Started With the Tarot
On February 16th of 2019, on a whim and for no particular reason other than curiosity, I began a habit of drawing a single Tarot card each day, looking at it, reading about it, thinking about how the depiction might apply to my life, and writing down a few notes. To my surprise, this practice has changed my life profoundly, and for the better.
For those who may be interested in trying out a similar practice, here are some recommendations on how to begin.
Can Tarot cards predict the future?
We all know the cliché image of a fortune teller, often in Gypsy garb, turning up cards to predict someone’s future. Many a movie plot is hung on such a scene. For people unfamiliar with the Tarot, this is the image that likely first comes to mind when it is mentioned.
I have come to think of the Tarot in a different way. I think of it as a practice which allows me to bring to the surface issues and ideas that are significant in my life, but may be hidden from my conscious thoughts.
