Bright Blessings of the Tarot
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.

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.
Here are a few of my personal favorite Tarot decks.
