Hollywood movies, fear of the occult, and the actions of unethical practitioners have created a negative connotation connected to the tarot. Some critics are under the false impression that all tarot readers worship or represent the devil. Admittedly, it may be the case that some readers are practitioners of the black arts. For the most part, however, the opposite is generally the case.
Psychic awareness is close to impossible without a belief inUniversal Energy. The term “Universal Energy” is used as a generic title to refer to God, All That Is, Source, Spirit, Universe, and any other name that you are comfortable with to represent this all-pervasive life force. Feel free to mentally substitute whichever name you are most comfortable with. It is not the information itself that is evil, for it comes from a higher spiritual power; rather it is the intent of the practitioner that stains the knowledge.
A tarot deck is a tool that can be used in a variety of ways, just as any tool, knowledge set, or talent can be used for good or evil. For example, an incredibly brilliant computer programmer can create useful applications that benefit the world or a computer virus that causes destruction and hardship for millions of people. Is computer programming evil? Hardly! It is the intention of the person applying the skill and knowledge that has the ability to bring about a positive or negative outcome.
In the same way, we can use tarot for the betterment of an individual, or to increase their stress and worry, all at the sole discretion of the reader and theseeker. The information itself is neutral, but subject to interpretation by the participants. The reader’s delivery of information is critical in this regard; it can bring a message forth shrouded in darkness and dire warning, or the reader can frame it in the bright light of hope and positive change.
Take care and use diplomacy when imparting sensitive information. The seeker’s reaction to the message is determined by the way in which the reader delivers the information and the emotional attachment to the subject matter.
If you have avoided getting a reading for fear of what it may reveal, remember that how the information is perceived is up to you. Many messages can have dual meanings, containing both positive and negative aspects. Information that contains elements perceived as unfavorable can also hold valuable lessons. You can also take messages containing detrimental components as a warning, helping you avoid or prevent a problem. There is an opportunity for growth within every circumstance.
Keep in mind that a tarot practitioner must connect to your energy field in order to read you. Open yourself to sense whether the reader is of the light or practicing in shadows. If the energy does not feel right, find another reader.
A tarot reading cuts through the drama of a situation and enables you to tune in to what’s important. Issues will surface regarding personal and spiritual development. Much of what comes through reveals the seeker’s fears, hopes, and ambitions. It can be startling to reveal underlying causes for what is being manifested in your life.
The information gained through a tarot reading is best used as a guide rather than a decision-maker. The tarot is a tool of enlightenment and understanding. You should base life decisions on what is appropriate to your growth, not on the prediction of a psychic/intuitive.
Let’s talk about how that information comes through...
