There's a world of wisdom waiting to be unleashed, and Tarot is the tool to help you uncover it. But looking at all those cards in a Tarot deck can seem intimidating.
How do you get started?
Tarot is about more than memorizing meanings and repeating what's already known. It's opening up your intuition to access the deep internal wisdom you already hold within so you can make choices that empower, embolden, and encourage you to create the joyful and abundant life you wish to live.
When I was a young teenager, I picked up my first tarot deck and began laying out the cards according to the suggested spreads. One-by-one, I looked up their meanings in the accompanying guidebook, but I quickly became confused, overwhelmed, and disconnected from the experience. I didn't know which of the many meanings I should attribute to the card, and I was having trouble making sense of it all in context. Disappointed, I put the cards away, believing I'd never be able to read Tarot myself, nevermind for others.
In my early twenties, as I sought spiritual guidance during a tulmultuous time, I had my first tarot reading by a trusted local psychic medium, who would later become a spiritual mentor. I remember I was in awe of not only how much she was able to pick up on, but by how relieved and at peace I felt afterwards. It was as if something was beginining to heal and open up inside of me, and this Tarot reading was helping to make that possible.
Over the course of the next ten years, as my interest in esoteric knowledge and metaphysical studies continued to blossom, I would go on to experience past life regressions, participate in meditation workshops and psychic development courses, and become an energy practitioner. I was also growing personally--expanding into a greater understanding of who I was and why I was here.
But it felt like something was missing.
I was working to support others in areas outside of the spiritual circle, and thinking that I had found my purpose, I settled in to make this my life's work. All the while, my soul was calling for expansion. I just didn't know where I was being led.
In early 2018, a few months after meeting a soul connection and becoming activated to my deeper ascension journey, a friend gifted me my first oracle deck. I was entraced by the beautiful images and the symbolism that seemed to jump off the cards, my lifelong experience as a writer helping me to understand the profound impact of metaphor and that there's always more than one way to interpret meaning. When I later purchased my first Tarot deck, it was with mild trepidation. The 78-card deck still seemed daunting, and I remembered all-too well my earlier struggle to memorize the meaning behind each of the cards.
Yet, the more I tapped into my own intuition and let go of the fear of being right according to instruction, the more I began to enjoy shuffling the cards. Suddenly, each card had a thousand different possibilities, each spread a story that was longing to be told.
My purpose was expanding with a growing desire to be of service in a similar way to the one in which my spiritual mentor had helped me--to bridge the human and spiritual journey in the understanding of oneself.
I was getting called to Tarot, and I knew it.
But I was still in resistance to it.
Point blank: I was terrified.
I began following other readers on YouTube and practiced reading for close friends, ignoring the intuitive nudge to start my own channel and dive into Tarot reading as a next-level of my own mission work. That is, until the fear began to turn to excitement and the push grew stronger.
I asked myself:
- Could I possibly be picking up on someone else's energy?
- Could I trust the information I was receiving?
- Could I really have psychic gifts that I'd only ever seen in others?
- Was it just a fluke that I was receiving information I couldn't have otherwise known?
- Could I be of help to others as others have helped me?
- Could I let go of my fear and trust my intuition?
- Was this real?
- Was I ready?
Ready or not, it was time to take that leap...
In September 2018, I launched my first YouTube channel and began doing collective readings. Shortly after, amongst a ton of personal fear and self-doubt, I followed the call of my soul and opened up my services to reading for others.
Something incredible began to happen. The more I let go of the fear and trusted what my intuition was telling me, the more my psychic gifts began to expand and the better and more in-depth my readings became. I was allowing myself to become an open channel, the cards transforming into a tool to help guide and translate the messages I was already energetically receiving. What's more, I began to recognize I've always had these gifts. Tarot allowed me to focus the energy, hone this skill, and most importantly, trust myself.
Today, I read for hundreds of clients all around the world, helping others connect with their own higher self and spirit team as they grow on their life journey and learn to trust the ever-unfolding path of their heart.
That's why you're here...
Just like I followed the call of embracing Tarot to help me open up my intuitive gifts and expand in my soul's journey, you're here because Tarot has spoken to you.
