I want to share something honest about tarot — because my own experience with it is probably different from what you might expect.
I am not someone who uses tarot to find out what is going to happen.
I use it because it shows me what is already happening inside me that I have not been paying attention to. In short it is a tool I use to expand on what my subconscious or psyche may want me to pay attention to.
Here is a real example of what I mean.
There was a period where I kept drawing The Queen of Swordscard repeatedly across different readings. Every time I pulled it I felt a specific resistance in my body — a tightening, a wanting to move past it quickly.
That resistance was the information.
Not the card. My reaction to it.
When I finally sat with it honestly instead of moving past it, what came up was a belief I had been carrying about my own voice — that what I had to say was not credible, not trustworthy, not worth the attention of serious people.
I had not named that belief directly before. The card gave me something concrete enough to react to and my reaction showed me exactly where I needed to do the work.
That is what tarot actually does when you use it honestly.
It bypasses the part of your mind that already has all the answers ready and creates a moment where something true can surface.
The insight was never in the card. It was already in me.
The card just gave it a door.
If you have been curious about tarot but uncertain about how to approach it — that is the frame I would offer. Not prediction. Not mysticism for it
That is how I use it. That is what I teach.
Have you ever had an experience — with tarot or any other reflective practice — where your reaction to something showed you more than the thing itself did? I would genuinely love to hear.
