Why tarot?
Tarot is seventy-eight images and a good question. That's it. No
fortune, no fate, no future revealed. You pull a few cards, you look
at them, and you think out loud in a structured way.
I started using it seriously after my mom passed away, not because
I believed the cards knew something I didn't, but because I needed
a way to put my thoughts somewhere without waiting for someone else
to be free, or in the mood, or emotionally available at 11pm on a
Tuesday. A reading gave me a shape to work with. Some structure
when there wasn't one anywhere else.
A reading is a mirror with just enough randomness in it to knock you
out of your usual groove. Sometimes that's a real decision: do I take
the job, do I send the text, do I pick up this new thing or finally
drop it. Sometimes it's what to have for lunch. The cards don't care
which. Neither do we.
You don't need to believe in anything for this to work. You just need
a question and two minutes.
