The word divination originates from the Latin word divinare, which stems from divinus – “to be inspired by God.”
When we connect with our intuition, whether it is through tarot cards or another tool, we connect with an almost divine knowledge. According to psychoanalyst Carl Jung, this divine knowledge is named the Collective Unconscious.
This is how tarot works. Its symbolism, its meaning and its interpretation relies on the tarot reader and his/her connection to their intuition and their moral compass when using the cards.
There are ethical principles behind the practice and that’s why some people come across tarot readers that read to create fear and dependence from the quierer (the client) and, in extreme cases, scam them.
What’s a tarot reading like?
A tarot reading leaves you with a clearer mind, a broader perspective and the willingness to act as aligned as possible to who you authentically are.
It’s an opportunity to connect with your truest self to change behavioural patterns and be the person you were born to be.
