You really should own a Deck of Tarot Cards, here’s why…

Article VICKI HASPEL

I have been reading Tarot cards for more than 25 years and it was only last year that I had a deep spiritual understanding of their role in my life. You see… I had always thought of them as tools, cards, something I used when I did a reading for a client.

I had one of those ‘aha’ moments recently when I finally understood the real magic of owning and building a personal relationship with my Tarot cards and it was so profound that it still blows my mind!

I’ll never forget the first deck of Tarot cards I picked up. I still have them!! When I got them I religiously memorised the meanings, I followed the directions and I fell in love.

Over the years my relationship with the Tarot has gone through a transformation, much like any personal relationship. I have fallen in and out of like with the cards but they have always remained a constant for me, a stability. Do you know why? It’s because they have always spoken the truth and held me to account for the choices I’ve made but not once have they let me down. If anything the Tarot has driven me to be a better person. Learning the Tarot has taught me how to communicate with people and my guides. The Tarot has taught me empathy and compassion.

In all this time I have finally understood the relationship I have with the Tarot reflects the relationship I have with my Soul, my Intuition. When I have been alone, lost and wandering, when I could not feel the connection with my guides or inner wisdom, the Tarot has been there, the constant that formed the bridge I needed; to know in my heart that I am never alone.

The Tarot will always reflect my true self. That is why sometimes I don’t like the card I choose. When I work with students I encourage them to use the Tarot as an holistic tool. Look at the meaning, use the image, colours, symbols, and archetypes to invoke the power within.

These days with all the noise of the digital world and the overwhelm of the 24-hour news cycle, it is difficult to spend time to do the inner work, and I can certainly relate to that. I am here to pass on a message from your inner guidance, your Soul, your Higher Self, “Make a commitment to a regular practice that keeps you in constant connection with Spirit.” I discovered mine many years ago and only now can I appreciate its special place in my heart. I now know my place in the Universe.

If you love the Tarot and want to take your practice to the next level I have several pathways to help you discover your personal reading style. I offer meditation practice, Tarot Masterclass and a Tarot Practitioner course and would love to open up the world of Tarot for you too.

With love, Vicki xx
