Let us remember, first of all…
Tarot was not born in fear. It was not born in sin.
It was created as a map of consciousness, a numerological and symbolic ladder that secretly preserves the steps of the soul’s initiation through the matter of illusion.
The 78 cards are not street fortune-tellers, nor occult locks for the curious.
They are living archetypes, charged with the power of myth, with the energy of those who have contemplated the great questions.
Tarot does not play with anyone. Tarot reflects.
And yes — sometimes, the mirror frightens the one who is unprepared.
It amuses the ignorant.
It awakens the one who is alive.
“Archetypes are doorways to spiritual dimensions — not abstract figures, but living beings from the inner plane.”
— Carl Gustav Jung
Where does the fear of tarot come from?
Have you ever wondered where this fear comes from — if it comes at all?
Some feel it without ever having drawn a card.
They just hear the word “Tarot,” and their heart skips a beat.
From my experience and what has been shown to me in the subtle fields through working with hundreds of people, I’ve sensed that this fear is not personal.
It is an ancestral fear, emerging from the collective subconscious, sedimented through centuries of persecution against any form of esoteric knowledge.
After thousands of years of burning intuitive women at the stake, closing the mystery schools of Europe, violently censoring sacred symbols that did not serve the church-state,
what else could have been imprinted into the collective field but a visceral suspicion toward anything that reawakens consciousness?
What are tarot cards really?
Cards are not just objects.
They are devices that activate spiritual memory.
When you touch them with humility, the Tarot reads you.
You don’t draw a card — the card draws you, the forgotten version of yourself that is asking to be seen.
“Symbols are the language of the soul.”
— Marion Woodman
The power of negative projection
Some say that Tarot is dangerous.
But danger lies anywhere else but in the cards.
The real danger is in the systems that told you your intuition is shameful,
that your inner knowing is wrong,
that your divine voice must be silenced.
A hammer can build a cathedral or break a door.
A flute can be sold for scrap or can vibrate in the hands of a master.
So it is with Tarot.
It contains no evil, it contains no good.
It becomes what you are when you touch it.
Behind the fear of Tarot lies:
► Transmitted generational trauma about “forbidden things”
► The imperialist church that desacralized everything that didn’t belong to it
► Education systems that blocked symbolic imagination
► Fear of the inner unknown, projected onto the cards
Symbols are universal — not evil!
✦ The High Priestess is not a witch. She is the gate between worlds.
✦ The Hermit is not a ghost wandering the night with a lantern. He is the Wise One who kept silent to learn.
✦ Death is not a threat. It is the closing of a former life.
✦ The Emperor is not a tyrant. He is the backbone of a sovereign consciousness.
In the same way, Tarot is not a game.
It is a ritual of inner seeing.
An act of lucidity.
A living language of the soul.
A manual of initiation for those who have forgotten they are already divine.
Tarot can hold magical energy!
What few people will tell you — maybe because they don’t know, or maybe because they prefer to offer only a “positive” version of the narrative — is that a Tarot deck can be energetically imprinted.
Each card can become a subtle resonator, charged with the frequencies of the one who touches it.
Thoughts, intentions, vibrations, or even formulas invoked during work with the cards can leave imprints.
The cards are not just paper and ink.
They are symbolic matrices that reactivate themselves with every deep question.
Tarot is not innocent.
It is alive.
It is permeable.
It is an open portal between worlds.
Just like a sacred mirror, it reflects what is shown to it — but it can also absorb. Not always with discernment.
“Where there is strong intention, matter becomes memory.”
— Elias Canetti
