Tarot Reading
“Tarot is an instrument that
reveals the hidden things of the
world and makes sense out of the
visible ones.”
– Wald Amberstone
What is Tarot Reading?
Tarot is a book of wisdom, is a symbolic map of consciousness that encompasses our journey through life, both spiritually and practically. The tarot cards represent a specific situation in life. A good deck has cards that bring to mind the energy or essence of that card in a way to be easily and quickly recognized.
Having this in mind, Tarot reading is the practice of divining wisdom and guidance through a specific spread of the cards. These cards are meant to provide insights into the truths of yourself, truths you already know deep within. The cards are not simply made to tell your fortune, they respond to your energy levels, and therefore provide a reading that will provide an evolved awareness of what you know deep inside.
They are considered as a tool for effective divination solutions that have been consistently used since times immemorial.
