Modern Tarot: Connecting with Your Higher Self through the Wisdom of the Cards QUOTES

Modern Tarot: Connecting with Your Higher Self through the Wisdom of the Cards QUOTES

1 " Our future-focused, technology-obsessed world seems to be hurtling down a bad path. People are turning to ancestral practices for a sense of enduring longevity, and comfort. To help stay sane and grounded in the midst of so much cultural insanity. To source a different kind of power in hopes of making changes both personal and political. From learning meditation to fighting off a cold with some homemade fire cider; from indigo-dyeing your curtains to strengthening your intuition with the aid of the Tarot, such old-world practices are capturing our imaginations and providing us with meaningful ways to impact our world. "

2 " Pages are the students of the suit, suggestive of a person who has yet to master its special powers but who is earnestly engaged in figuring it all out. Knights are super action-oriented, ready to GO, on the double, like, yesterday! Queens are self-assured and generous, a bit interior, strong and meditative. Kings are likewise so but more extroverted and action-oriented. "

3 " Let’s talk about the Hermit’s lantern, which is super-important, especially for those social animals who, like myself, cringe whenever this card comes into their lives. The lantern is what allows the Hermit to walk this nighttime landscape alone. Night in the Tarot always represents the unknown, the uncertain, the problem that must be solved. When the Hermit arrives, some type of soul-searching is in order, and the lantern represents your inner compass, your inner light, that thing that will guide you through this night and help you solve your current puzzle. You have everything you need to achieve the breakthrough you need. "

4 " The High Priestess calls for a bit of hibernation, for time to allow thoughts and creativities to germinate without distraction and external influence. It is time for sitting quietly with crystals and doing lots of writing. Don’t be afraid to say no to people, places, and things; everything will be waiting for you when you return. Some social activities, such as taking a class or starting therapy, are endorsed by the High Priestess, but if you drew this card to help you make a decision, her answer is: No decision. "

5 " The life I wanted, one with healthy relationships and less regret, a healthy body and less sickness, a stronger career and less floundering, would only ever be mine if I passed through this time of darkness. "
