Tarot

This post may not resonate with all of you. You might even skip it because of the title. I can't say that I blame you. For the longest time, I thought of it as taboo. An art of divination ( what a spooky term ). All that means is it's an art of being one with the Divine, whether that "Divine" is the higher ups or within yourself. If the term "divination" isn't scary enough, add on the negative connotation of witchcraft. It's really all about perception. Are you a good witch, bad witch, or a muggle? I believe in magic, so I can't be a muggle. Truth be told...readers are not up past midnight gathering around a pentagram etched of salt trying to sacrifice goats. That's a whole different ball game. These are just regular people who are extremely intuitive. We all have gifts of intuition. Some of us are just more tapped in than others. I was going through a bad break up. I was left with no closure and I was angry. I wanted answers. That's when I discovered tarot on youtube. It blew my mind. I've watched people of whom, I've never even met, read my life like a book from cover to cover. They articulated all the emotions I could never seem to express. Flawlessly, I might add. At the time, I didn't know that tarot was to become a big part of my spiritual journey. All I wanted was the truth. Two years and some change later, I've gained insight into gifts I never knew I had. What started out as an obsession for love predictions, turned into insight of myself. Once I started practicing how to read the cards, it became a guideline. Now, I tend to only follow readers that base their readings on personal growth and less on the love predictions. Here's why. Sometimes, the love predictions... leave you stuck. We've all been through sucky relationships. At some point we wondered when that person would get their karma for all the damage they caused. A reader might come along and say that your person is distraught and they're coming back around to apologize. Meanwhile, you're sitting there stalking their social media and seeing them live life blissfully. Guess who's miserable? You! Or, my personal favorite, the next person due to come in your life. There's a lot of potential with this prince charming... until you meet them and they're a total piece of shit. Now you're blaming the reader for not knowing how to read. People forget that they have the ability to take control over their lives instead of leaving everything to the cards. It's external validation. On the contrary, If you follow readings based on personal growth, you gain discernment. You gain the ability to master yourself. When you put that into practice, now you're someone who attracts endless possibilities. You were always the magic. You just needed a map to be shown the way. I've never read for anyone but myself and honestly, I don't intend to. At the same time, I'm very appreciative of the people who have posted their readings publicly because they gave me a map to finding myself.
