In which I point you back to your own wisdom and tackle common struggles. In today's episode I talked about how to read the tarot cards for yourself. This is not a "beginner's guide to tarot" episode, but it does contain some advice for beginners. We cover how to choose a deck for yourself - how to work with the tarot when you are new and unfamiliar with the meanings of the cards - when to read for yourself and when NOT to read for yourself - predictions versus perspective - keeping a tarot journal - self care around readings - and how to make a card-a-day practice fresh and meaningful instead of BORING.
