Hi there Tarot Friends,

Are you a fair-weather friend to Tarot?

If you are serious about wanting to learn Tarot , then don't be a fair-weather friend.

​

Do you run to your Tarot deck only when you have a burning question or need an answer to a problem? We all do it, so no shame there.

Do the answers you get at those times often leave you scratching your head, or worse yet, a little scared?

Why is that?

The difference between those who can depend on Tarot for guidance during their hours of need and those who can't is their relationship with Tarot.

So how do you build a relationship with Tarot?

This is where the practice comes in.

From Wikipedia: A spiritual practice or spiritual discipline (often including spiritual exercises) is the regular or full-time performance of actions and activities undertaken for the purpose of inducing spiritual experiences and cultivating spiritual development. A common metaphor used in the spiritual traditions of the world's great religions is that of walking a path.[1]

Replace the word "spiritual" above with the word "Tarot" and you've got a working definition of a Tarot Practice.

What does a Tarot practice look like?

A Tarot practice looks like engaging with the cards on a regular basis. How you choose to engage is up to you.

Note I wrote "engaging with the cards", not reading about the cards, not studying the cards, not memorizing definitions.

Here are some ideas for engaging with the cards:

1. daily draw (if you have been on this list for any length of time, you knew that would be #1!)
2. read cards for friends and family
3. when you have a dream, pull a card or 2 to gain insight
4. do a monthly spread for yourself and most importantly go back and review the spread when the month is over
5. go through the deck and deliberately choose cards that represent friends and family
6. pull cards at random that represent friends and family
7. deliberately choose 3 cards from the deck that scare you and write about them in your journal
8. draw, paint, create a collage, or make a sculpture of the Tarot card of your choice
9. add a couple few Tarot cards to your vision board
10. place a Tarot card on the dashboard of your car, and when you have free time, ask the card where it wants to go and go there
11. look for Tarot card scenes or people in your environment and take pictures of them. Ace of cups is a pretty easy one to spot.
12. hand a few Tarot cards to a young child and ask them what they are about and what to do with them

Which ones of the above will you try?

Hit reply and let me know which of the above activities you want more details on and I'll fill you in next week. Just hit reply and list the numbers.

Until then, may Tarot light your way.
