Perhaps you feel that it’s more of a game, or maybe even that there’s something “bad” about it. The associations we might have with Tarot often come from culture, a culture which has both appropriated and suppressed indigenous ways of knowing and accessing our inner wisdom.
In episode 5 of I’m Not Crazy, I’m Clairvoyant we dive into why Tarot is such an important practice, why we need to decolonize Tarot, and how it can be used as a powerful spiritual practice that builds our intuition, highlighting in particular:
How Tarot is a symbolic map of consciousness that reveals information to us through symbolism, which is our first language
Tarot is an ancient divination system that we have inherited from our ancestors
How until very recently American Tarot decks were exclusively white-centric, and which ones to get to decolonize your Tarot
Tarot gives us access to our inner knowing and can be seen as a daily initiation practice
How to use Tarot to foster the development of our intuitive abilities
“Before there were words before we could understand putting-this-letter-with-this-one, we understood symbols. It activates our most primitive language, which is the language of symbols; the language of our soul. Sure, we can talk about Tarot for fortune-telling, but Tarot also contains and expresses so much of what is in our consciousness.”
