So what is Tarot, anyway? First, what
is it not: not New Age, not spooky, not fortune telling, not associated with any particular spiritual beliefs.
What is Tarot, then? It is
a psychological journey, a self-meditation, a different perspective, an opportunity to look at overriding patterns in our
lives.
It is an in-depth look at
symbols that bring us to a greater understanding of why we do what we do. Better yet, the archetypes represented in the Major
Arcana and the daily trials and tribulations represented by the Minor Arcana bring us to the challenges of the Royalty: how
do we better ourselves? How do we take control of our own lives and avoid the mistakes of our past? We learn to heal ourselves
emotionally, intellectually, spiritually and physically by tracing the threads that have become our personal tapestries.
