Why has tarot captured our imagination for so many centuries? Tarot has fascinated and even struck fear in the hearts of so many, yet at its core, tarot is merely a collection of images. How is it that we are so affected by this medium?
Swiss psychiatrist Jean Piaget observed that children in the preoperational stage use symbols for communication as they develop their verbal language skills. These symbols form the foundation of art, transcending time and communication barriers, making it a fundamental aspect of human nature.
Divination systems, such as tarot, are powerful tools because their universal messages allow us to connect personal meanings that resonate with our individual experiences. Each person connects with an image uniquely, resulting in no two interpretations being the same.
Tarot is fundamentally a tool for uncovering hidden aspects of our psyche, helping us bring these facets to light. By using spreads, we create a narrative, with the cards guiding us to gain insight into ourselves and our lives without judgment. By identifying and confronting our fears, we can recognize obstacles, blind spots, and opportunities, which opens the door to healing and the potential for profound transformation.
