What is Tarot?



What is Tarot?

The Tarot is a deck of 78 picture cards.  Each card has it's own meaning or story to tell.  The Major Arcana (major "secrets") consist of 22 cards of the 78.  These cards usually indicate the "bigger" issues in life and can refer to events that you have little control over.  The other 56 cards are the Minor Arcana (minor "secrets"), and these are usually more representative of day-to-day events in life -- things that you usually have more control over.

A certain number of cards are laid out in what is called a "card spread" . . . and together, these cards provide information based on your question or request.

The Tarot is a useful tool for guidance, clarity, inspiration, and advice.  The cards don't tell you the future, but instead, they offer a forecast of potentials and possibilities that may or may not occur . . . depending on the choices you make to either change or reinforce a possible outcome or future event.  Your future is never set in stone.  If the Tarot forecasts something desirable, then you'll want to do what is necessary to continue in that trend to see the rewards you want.  On the other hand, if the Tarot forecasts something unwanted, the cards will also offer advice to help you either avoid or reduce the effects of something less desirable.

Coming to the Tarot with an open mind can help you tap into you own inner wisdom and view your situation with much more clarity . . . allowing you to more easily and confidently make decisions among your choices.  :-)
