Daily Tarot Practice
I got my first Tarot deck when I was 15 or 16. It was a mail order item out of a magazine I loved at the time. I ordered a tie-dye shirt covered in dolphins with it. I was always drawn to the Tarot, and tapping into my intuition. I had some weird stuff happen as a kid that I ran screaming from. So I'm sure I blocked off a lot of what I would have otherwise been able to cultivate. Add into the mix that I was raised Catholic, and it's easy to see why I put a pin in it. Spirit boards and tarot don't jive with Catholicism.As I got older and got a little sick of hearing that everything I did was evil, I found my own path and made my way back to Tarot. Fun fact, I did a bunch of tarot spreads when I met my husband, and every one of those cards kept yelling that this was the man for me. So two weeks into dating him, I told him we were going to get married some day. He rolled his eyes then, but we've been married for 18 years and have three wonderful kids, so...What I've been working on lately is making time for myself. As a working mom of three, that's tough. Working mom of three in a pandemic? Let's just say I miss sleep.
So I've been working on pausing for a few minutes every morning to draw a single card from one of my tarot decks each morning to get myself more familiar with the cards and get my own technique under my hands again.
I was journaling just a bit with each card pull and then found this adorable little planner from the Happy Planner line. I don't know if you can still get it, but this thing screamed that it was perfect for me. The space available is just enough room for information about one card per day, and a notes section if anything comes of my intuition throughout the week.
I've felt more connected to myself by simply taking this meditative time every morning. And I feel my ability to read the cards without a book glued to my hand has improved as well. Of course, my life is pretty repetitive at this point, so most of the cards I've pulled as of late are of similar messages. But I'm happy to get a chance to do something I've loved since I was a teenager on a daily basis again.
Do you read tarot? Or have you always wanted to? Or are you dowsing your screen with holy water at the thought of me using something so foreign to you?
I just wanted to share something that has centered me and made me happy. So tell me, what are you doing just for yourself every day? I'd love to hear about it.
