What is Tarot?

Starchild Tarot Spread
The organization of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn states that ” The most Powerful sources of information come from within; the Tarot aids in coming in contact with one’s Higher Self”
You are the Tarot, from start to finish and through each cycle of your life. Your story is found in the 78 cards that make up the Tarot and through readings, acts as a mirror to your soul, your desires, your life lessons, and your life path. Tarot is the key to unlocking your inner self and speaking with your highest source of knowledge, YOU! Through asking specific questions you are able to tap into the answers that you seek as well as the lessons that you need to learn in order to live your best life.
You may already consciously know the message or insight you receive when having a Tarot reading done, in which case, the reading can be a refreshing confirmation of what you already know to be true. Or, you might be completely unaware of the messages that you are receiving until you see it reflected in the cards, in which case you are now empowered to take action based on your new found awareness and a-ha moments. If you are not yet ready to receive certain information you may not believe what you are hearing, that is why with online readings you are then able to go back and re-read your reading time and time again and reflect on what has manifested to be true over time.
There is no limit to what you can ask the Tarot, the information that you can receive is endless. People turn to the Tarot to receive guidance about business, life missions, relationships, family matters, financial questions, friendships, hardships, love, day to day situations, past present and future, goals, manifesting, etc!. The Tarot is not Psychic, so to ask “what is the name of my future husband and what day will I meet him” will not reveal much BUT you can ask for guidance for how to go about meeting him or her and how can you manifest your goals towards meeting the man of your dreams! Those are legit questions indeed!
Tarot is connected to your subconscious mind. When asking questions to your higher self you are given information that is then placed into the conscious mind to be processed. That is why sometimes you may not understand the answer to a reading at first and it may take some time to adapt to the answer.
There are different ways that a Tarot reader can read Tarot such as intuitively, psychically, the Life Coach approach, the Counselor approach, the Therapist approach or adding other modalities to the reading such as numerology and astrology. Not all Tarot readers are the same and they each come with their own set of skills and styles. I myself read as a Life Coach/Intuitive/Psychic/Multi-Modality (adding numerology) Tarot Reader.
