Exploring tarot cards is a great way to expand your inner-work journey. They are an undeniable self-exploration tool. First, a little background. Most tarot decks are made up of 52 cards that represent different messages or elements of human experience. Getting a reading (or doing your own) is a very personalized experience that relies heavily on perception and interpretation. Whether you believe they embody mystical principles, present synchronicity, or just represent your current perception, they are an interesting way to consider what’s going on in your life and within you.

Remember, perspective is pliable. Exploring tarot cards as a tool in your inner-work journey, call for you to be both curious and patient. Thus, take the time that it takes to determine if they have a place in your life or not. Each modern deck is often retrofitted off of the original concept of major and minor arcana, with a specific slant or area in which your work and exploration is being done. Thus, try perusing the topics and then choose a deck whose theme resonates with you. Whether you use these as a tool for your daily journaling, self-reflection, or in a more spiritist way these are an easily accessible and fun way to support your spiritual experience. At the end of the day, they’ll either be something that you work with, or not.
Be curious.
Take what you need and leave the rest.
