Welcome to one of the most interesting journeys you will ever take in your life. It will change you
and change your thinking by giving you the means to deal with any circumstance in your life. The
tarot is in essence a soul map, a deep psychological guide to self-empowerment and a way to
discover hidden truths as imaged through 78 symbolic cards. It is a valuable tool that enhances our
creativity, our intuition and problem solving capabilities.
Too often we are not able to see viable alternatives or solutions to our problems as we are too
enmeshed in the situation. The simple act of laying out a spread, forces us to separate ourselves
from distractions and concentrate solely on the object of our enquiry. It allows us to explore
alternatives we might not originally have thought of and shows the circumstance in a way that can
reveal aspects of the problem we may not have considered.
Over :me the tarot has been shunned by the church as evil, and associated with the darker
occultist arts, but over the past 30 years it has gained popularity again as a major tool for self
discovery and personal growth. Why? The tarot speaks a language that is accessible to all. The
cards carry the extraordinary ability to mirror who you are and provide access to your deeper self,
whether you call this your intuition, soul, inner guide or guardian angel. It speaks a language that is
universal because it taps into your unconscious and the universal qualities that are the most basic
patterns of human feelings, ideas and thoughts.
