Tarot cards are often associated solely with “predicting the future” but this perception is incomplete — and often superficial. Tarot is more than a mystical game of chance. I can say that tarot is a sacred instrument with many uses, from spiritual guidance to deep introspection and personal transformation.
Tarot as a Projective Technique for the Subconscious
Each card — whether Major or Minor Arcana — is connected to universal archetypes that resonate with the deepest layers of the human psyche. When you lay out the 22 Major Arcana in front of you and spontaneously answer a question like, “What does love look like to you?” — your choice reveals a true subconscious projection.
Do you choose The Devil? Or perhaps The Star? Either way, the card reflects your inner world.
Divination, Not Fortune-Telling
In my book Taromagick, I clearly explain the difference between divination and fortune-telling.
Fortune-telling is based on conditioning and a kind of primitive fatalism: E.g. “You will have an accident on Sunday…” or “You will marry at 35!”.
Divination, on the other hand, is a subtle reading of probabilities — a fine attunement to the potential held in the present moment: “A negative event can happen on Sunday! … Let’s also see why and you can overcome it!”. “Looks like at the age of 35 you can marry… but looks like it’s something karmic! Let’s look deeper into it!”
People believe the future is fixed. It is constantly being shaped. Tarot does not eliminate free will, it illuminates it.
One Question — One Path
You have questions. Of course you do. We all do. And tarot can offer clear insights into deep life themes:
-
What path is most aligned for me right now?
-
Why can’t I break through this block?
-
What’s my next step?
Tarot doesn’t command you. It offers clarity.
It reveals what is unseen but felt. What is real but overlooked.
Tarot as a Mirror for Introspection
Tarot helps you ask living, vital questions like:
-
What emotion is dominant in me right now?
-
What repetitive pattern is sabotaging me?
-
What am I refusing to see about myself?
Each card becomes a window into the unconscious. And from there… healing begins.
Inspired Choices, Not Impulsive Ones
I once had a client who came with the question:
“How can I make money?”
Her spread revealed strong feminine energy. I suggested she work with women. Today, she leads a successful high-heels dance course. And she’s not only fulfilled financially — but also spiritually.
This is the power of a good tarot reading: It reveals a path your soul already knew.
Tarot as a Magical Instrument
Tarot cards aren’t just receivers of information.
They can be transmitters as well.
Each card is connected to an angel, a planet.
In Taromagick and Tarot and Planetary Magick, I explain how tarot can be used to:
-
manifest a desire,
-
call in angelic protection,
-
activate a hidden talent.
Tarot becomes a living ritual, a bridge between you and the Universe.
Love and do what you will.
