Tools, like the Tarot, Astrology, Numerology, the I Ching, the Runes, are excellent ways to help tap into our psychic abilities. Each of these “tools” has its own energy to it and so I choose the tool based on the type of question I have open. But when reading for clients, I most often work with the tarot to be able to produce some depth and detail.
What is the Tarot
Says Danielle
For me, the Tarot is magic. It is much more than is a simple set of 78 pictorial cards. Once activated, these beautiful cards tell thousands of stories, answer any number of questions and provide insights on countless lives - and loves.
The Tarot consists of 22 Major Arcana which depict the major steps in one’s journey through life, and 56 Minor Arcana in four suits, Swords, Wands, Cups and Pentacles.Â
The Minor Arcana correspond to our modern day playing cards (and were probably derived from early playing cards, since it is believed that the Tarot formally came into existence as a card game.)
If the Major Arcana speaks to the archetypal characters, values and events or universal themes that play out as we journey through our lives, it is logical, then that the Minor Arcana speaks to the people, places and events that populate our daily lives. In a sense, the Major Arcana sets the stage for the the Minor Arcana which represents the characters, concerns, activities and emotions that make up the dramas of our everyday lives.
