Its not a magic pill, but shines light to a better place. In my experience Tarot is just a tool, which show a way forward. Its not a magic pill, but shines light to a better place.

Very often these impressions do not make a lot of sense, but I still have to articulate something to the client. That is the detective work. The forensics kick in when there is a dialogue between me and the client as we explore deeper levels of the current situation, how it might relate to previous experiences in the life of the client (who may not necessarily remember what they are), or find hidden 'trigger' points that are keys to what is going on, and by knowing the keys, transformations occur. It is a magical thing when this happens, and there is a realisation, a change of awareness, and insight that is empowering for me and the client, which then feeds back into the original situation, and then the cards can be read at deeper and deeper levels. It is kind of like biofeedback. When the cards are fanned out, I ‘scan’ them for subtle impressions generated by the sequence of cards as they relate to the client.
