You have certainly heard a lot of rumors out there that Tarot is evil, unholy, or that it is going to invite in spirits that are going to harm you or the other person you are reading for. Tarot is not about that kind of stuff at all. Tarot is simply a process about the read of the cards being able to connect with their own higher power—a higher power that we all already have, whether we recognize it or not—and then answering questions for the other person. If you are able to do that, then there is nothing evil or worrisome about working with the tarot cards.

Tarot card reading is going to be so much more about connecting to one’s higher self than it is about divining the inherent truth of the cards. The cards are always going to contain the same images and the same basic meanings. But it is going to be your shuffling and intentional questioning of the deck, that the cards group into arrangements that will reveal some deep and lasting truths that are going to be able to resonate for the querent.

Tarot is going to rely on ancient mysteries to help establish the visual truth—and by arranging out the cards in a certain manner and learning how to read the cards in the proper manner, you are able to receive some insights into your illness or issues. It is possible, if you do this in the proper manner, that you will obtain some messages from your higher self and the universe.
