Practicality of Tarot

An assortment of cards from The New Palladini Tarot by David Palladini (1996)

This is a great article on tarot cards from the Los Angeles Public Library:

I wanted to share this article as someone suggested on one of my events that being psychic is fortune telling and that I should conjure winning lotto numbers. So much ignorance in the comment. Plain and simple, it is stereotyping. A fear mechanism of the ignorant. Tarot, and mysticism in general, is absolutely practical! It isn't all spellwork and magic. 

While the media have often connected psychics with fortune telling, that is only an aspect of energy work. I would even say it is a minor aspect of energy work. My main issue with fortune-telling and predictability is that we all have free will and what you do with the information that comes out of a reading could change the course of events.

I want to normalize divination practices. We are all psychic!

Psychic abilities are innate in all of us. Being psychic is being sensitive or aware of energy. Energy communicates with us through our clair senses: clairvoyance (clear knowning), clairaudience (clear hearing), clairsentience (clear feeling), clairgustance (clear taste), and clairalience (clear smelling). People think this happens like it does in the movies with fireworks and body twitching of some sort but our intuition acts in subtle ways. Blink and you will miss it. Doubt it and it will disappear. Trusting in yourself is the only way to strengthen it. 

Personally, my practice leans towards the value of spiritual guidance and its accessibility for all. When I meet with clients, I often share practices (from meditations to journaling) they can do on their own to strengthen their intuition.  My purpose is to help people access their intuition and strengthen their connection with Spirit. I haven't done my job if either of us leaves that session with any sense of dependence on the other.

You are a sovereign being and life is happening in perfect timing!
