Introduction

After experiencing a series of life-altering events, Tarot cards became a significant part of my journey towards spiritual growth and understanding. This article explores how these cards played a pivotal role in my life and transformed my beliefs and perspectives.

From Emotional Turmoil to Spiritual Growth

During the most challenging times of my life, I found myself grappling with deep emotional distress, often to the point of considering an end to my own life. My love for my cat, who was suffering and eventually passed away, intensified this despair. It was amidst this turmoil that I turned to Tarot cards, a medium I had recently acquired, in an attempt to communicate with my beloved pet. To my surprise, the experience was both validating and transformative, leading me to embrace spirituality in a way that I had previously been wary of due to past religious trauma.

Validating Experiences

The impact of using Tarot cards was profound. Not only did the deck offer a profound sense of comfort and reassurance, but it also provided clarity and direction. When I pulled the cards, I experienced a significant energy presence, which was followed by the cards themselves describing my exact situation. A quiet voice guided me in interpreting the cards in chronological order and reassured me that the positive outcomes I had pulled were going to materialize. Indeed, the promises made by the cards did come to fruition, leading to a stronger faith in their validity.

A Family Connection to Tarot

My grandfather, a believer in the power of tarot, gifted me a deck at the tender age of 13. During my teens and early twenties, the cards seemed to play a role in many unexpected occurrences. However, a vivid dream in my mid-twenties reignited my connection to tarot. A dream about going to the mall to buy a deck of tarot cards turned out to be eerily prophetic, guiding me to a woman at a jewelry store who directed me to the bookstore where the cards were sold. Little did I know that this experience would be the catalyst for my future endeavors in the world of tarot.

The Healing and Predictive Powers of Tarot

Tarot cards became more than just a tool for me; they became a source of guidance and healing. They met me at my level of understanding, which made them accessible even for someone with a basic understanding of their meanings. However, the most profound experience came when I read for a friend who was considering buying a home. The cards continually admonished her about a trip that was planned in six months, warning of a dangerous situation. Her mother was present during the reading, and despite my attempts to dissuade her, she went on the trip and tragically passed away. This experience left a lasting impact, urging me to reconsider my approach to tarot readings.

Considerations and Reflections

The experience taught me that sometimes the most important message comes not in words but in actions. The question remains: should I have charged for the reading, thus giving it more weight? This experience has made me reflect on the role of monetary value in the context of spiritual guidance. While it has been many years since the incident, I continue to question my actions and whether I could have done anything differently to impact the outcome.

Conclusion

Tarot cards have been more than a hobby; they have been a source of comfort, guidance, and spiritual growth. My journey with these cards continues to inspire me to trust in their wisdom, even as I navigate the complexities of life's challenges. Whether you are a believer or a skeptic, tarot cards offer a unique perspective on the world around us.
