Coming soon: HOW TO ASK GOOD QUESTIONS
a follow up to Tarot of Roses' Grower's Guide:
Intuition is a skill, and we become skilled at what we practice. Confusion, the weaponry of gas lighting, places the body in defense, where somatic disturbance can obscure our ability to interpret.
Developing a set of personal symbols to analyze helps us become attuned to our own inner knowing. We move toward possible futures, our instincts point toward desire or dread. Tarot is both a game and a tool, and its collective history is a useful store of information. Folklore is an ideal place to store data.
Nothing is ‘hidden’ in the cards. Many things are ‘hidden’ within you. Like a query function, the language and symbols provide a filter through which the Answer arrives. The question informs the answer.
In the game of Tarot, the most valuable card is The Fool. Played with a ritualized apology, referred to as, “The Excuse” - in game play, allegory informs value. Incomplete information is our only excuse for misunderstanding. The remedy becomes the game itself, played for the purpose of knowing, which is gentler than the struggle of winning.
