My Personal Story With The Tarot

I wanted to share with you part of my story with the Tarot and how I actually got started.

I wish I could say it was a supportive and magical experience. But it wasn't.😳

I had always been intrigued and drawn toward the occult and divination. I knew I was intuitive but had little trust or confidence in my abilities.

I was then very excited when someone who I knew and trusted offered to be my guide and teacher in an extensive 1:1 Tarot Course.

So why didn't it work for me you may ask? What went wrong?

Hmm, well my so called teacher/guide was more absent then not. I was left on my own to figure things out. She did give me lots of resources that were way over my head and not even close for a beginner.

I was meant to meditate on one of the Major Arcana cards once a week and meditate on one of the Suits. I would journal what happened in the meditation. At the same time I was reading up on several of the books I received on the Tree of Life and trying to decipher its meaning.

The results were not great.😣 I could not connect with the cards. It was like staring at a brick wall. The wall between me and the Tarot card. Absolutely no connection. My journaling of each meditation was 3 sentences long. My meditation experience at this point was not extensive. I felt lost and unsupported. Being a people pleaser I was afraid to voice my difficulties. I ended up losing money from this course which left me feeling bitter and resentful.

How did things turn around for me with the Tarot? I believe my teacher intuitively picked up that I was struggling and found a workbook on the Tarot. Within these pages are practical exercises and different ways to work and explore the Tarot. I realized I didn't need to sit and just meditate on a card. The book actually gave me permission to go my own way, which was really about me trusting my own intuition to guide me in the way that worked best for me.😉

This insight and clarity was a big life lesson for me. This is how I approach working with clients and setting up my courses. I will never send you off on your own to figure it out. I try my best to create a safe & enjoyable space to explore different methods and ways to help you explore, discover, and achieve your goals at your level. You can do it the hard way on your own like I did but why when you can have so much fun when learning with others. (And listening to all my stories! Hehe😉)

❤️How Tarot changed my life

💫I love working with the Sword Cards. The element of air taught me how to communicate with people. Yep! I had no voice until I started working with the Swords. Each card demonstrated and brought clarity to pass relationships in the ways of communication. I learnt that sometimes you need to just walk away from someone who does not want to hear your voice. I leant to respect my voice and how to stand up for myself. My throat chakra thrived in working with this energy and I gained the confidence I needed to speak.

💫The Wheel of Fortune supported me in understanding how we move in cycles. The Wheel turns downwards when we move into the underworld to bring our shadow self into the light. As we increase our vibration the Wheel is forever cycling upwards drawing more abundance and prosperity into our lives.

💫The Hanged Man taught me how to look at the world from different points of view. He challenged me to see things outside the programing and see past the illusions. I was shown where I was sacrificing myself and remove the obstacles standing in my way.

💫I have many more examples but through my experience with working with the Tarot I found my intuition sharpened drastically. The Swords again, clearing away the energy at the third eye. I felt a closer connection to Spirit, nature, and the elements. My confidence increased by leaps and bounds and I realized I had a lot to say. Hehe!😊

My introduction to the Tarot may not have been what I was hoping but it did lead me to want to support and help others in using this amazing healing & magical tool in a way I wished I had been taught.❤️
