What is Tarot?
Tarot is a reflective tool. Each card acts like a symbol-rich mirror that helps you see a situation from new angles, connect patterns, and choose next steps intentionally.
Rather than predicting fate, tarot encourages mindful decisions by pairing archetypes with your lived context. Use it to clarify questions, not to surrender judgment.
A brief history
Tarot originated as playing cards in 15th‑century Europe. Over time, artists and mystics expanded their symbolic language, culminating in modern decks like Rider‑Waite–Smith that popularized the imagery used today.
Contemporary readers treat tarot as a language of symbols—flexible enough to support journaling, coaching, and personal reflection.
