What is tarot to you?

The answer will be different to each of us as we all have a different relationship with it.

When you get your first tarot deck, you experience a heady mix of excitement and inadequacy. In your hands lay the potential to discover your future; a means to discover yourself at the deepest level; a way to help you make the best decisions in your life.

You are also deeply aware that you haven’t got a clue what any of these cards mean.

Your search takes you beyond the Little White Book that accompanies your first deck, through many other books to learn the meanings of each card – and the array of meanings for each card is mind blowing. You wonder how on earth you can make sense of it all, how you can relate to the cards personally.

You also arrive at a point when you realise that the tarot card meanings you have learnt, don’t always apply to you, and that there must be a way to relate to the cards in such a way that gives them meaning, to you.

Tarot Card Meanings is designed to help you do three things:

1. Learn the basic meanings and associations of the tarot
2. Discover their history & alternate meanings
3. Develop a meaningful relationship with each card

By learning alternate meanings examining different versions of each tarot card, you can begin to see different aspects of it that become meaningful to you.

I won’t always lead you, but I will point out things in cards that stand out to me, that bring another angle and perspective. For each card to become meaningful to you, it’s important for you to make your own discoveries and build on the ones that stand out to you here, and in your own quiet study sessions.

Finding Your Way Round Tarot Card Meanings

We’ve made it easy for you to get round this section of the blog, keeping the look of these pages similar and the cards grouped together in their suits and arcana.

This part of the blog is also growing organically. And no, we’re not talking about our fruit and veg… Each card is represented with its basic keywords and correspondences. As time progresses, I will add more information to each card, including my own musings and observations.

Learning the tarot is a life long journey. I hope we can travel together for a while.
