Tarot Readings

Tarot originated as a card game in Germany in the 1420s, called Karnöffel. It wasn't long before it became integrated in  Italy's Tarocchini game. By the 1450s, French alchemists began using Tarot in occultist practices as a way to advise King Charles VI. Since then, Tarot has been used as a reflection of one's intuition and as a medium for divination. The Tarot depicts the "Fool's Journey," which is the natural evolution of any situation in which we find ourselves. 

No, there are no such things as "bad cards!" Therefore, there are no "bad readings," either. Sometimes, the iconography on the Tarot decks do not appear as the most pleasant. That is because of the medieval context on top of which the cards were built. Most times, the Tarot confirms what we already know deep down, but you can think of certain cards, like "Death" or "Devil" as encouragements to deal with energies that do not serve your highest good. 

Because the Tarot specifically uses the Fool's Journey as a metaphor for life progression, the reader uses their intuition to discern the exact point of one's journey in order to advise next steps. The Tarot can also be used to increase one's awareness of energies they had not previously considered (i.e. helpful spirits, manifestation techniques, & positive mindsets). As such, the Tarot is both appropriate for existential questions as well as practical everyday dilemmas.
