Tarot

The best teacher in tarot is experience and trusting your intuition. It represents the life path, and they taught those symbols to provide insight into influencing the path of life through will. Even in divination intention is everything. You can get a nonsense reading. You have to be moved. You have to feel the call of your question to have tarot adequately reveal the answer. Anyone can learn it, but they do need to have studied.

“The Death card of the Thoth Tarot is the antithesis of those found in traditional packs. This is no stiff grim reaper standing on Earth, indiscriminately mowing down people, young and old, humble and highborn. This Death is vivacious and flexible. He wears the crown of Osiris and dances madly on the bottom of the sea. Instead of mowing down the living, he uses his scythe to stir up bubbles of new lives from out of the seemingly dead and decaying sediment.” Death Card image from the Thoth Tarot Deck

“The true Tarot is symbolism; it speaks no other language and offers no other signs. Given the inward meaning of its emblems, they do become a kind of alphabet which is capable of indefinite combinations and makes true sense in all.” A.E. Waite
