Tarot is a fascinating and enlightening tool that is often misunderstood and misjudged. I remember the first time I encountered a set of Spanish cards as a little girl. They intrigued me with their unique symbols and images, and I couldn’t help but wonder what secrets they held. However, I was quickly discouraged from exploring them further, as I was told they were evil and could bring about doom. It was confusing to me how such small cards could hold such power.
Years later, in my early twenties, I had my first tarot reading. I went with some friends to see an older lady, known as “la bruja del barrio” (the neighborhood witch). We felt a mix of curiosity and guilt, influenced by the societal judgments surrounding tarot and intuitive practices. We had been conditioned by a patriarchal society that devalues intuition and perpetuates myths about tarot being evil, requiring one to be a witch, and predicting the future. These beliefs did not resonate with me at all.
Tarot is about gaining clarity, understanding one’s own will, and uncovering the depths of the self.

If you hold preconceived beliefs about tarot, such as it being evil or fearing it will reveal something negative that will come true, I won’t try to convince you otherwise. I respect that everyone has their own views. However, I would like to share my perspective. To me, tarot cards serve as a gateway to the soul and the subconscious. They are not primarily about divination but rather a coaching tool. When I read tarot, my intention is transformational, aimed at improving your life by recognizing patterns, archetypes, behaviors, and limiting beliefs. I focus on exploring potential solutions and fostering healing, rather than making future predictions.
My approach to tarot readings is centered on delving into past experiences that have shaped your present circumstances, or that you may still be carrying with you. Together, we explore how we can create positive change in the here and now. By transforming your present, you have the power to shape your future and ultimately, your life.
A tarot reading can provide valuable guidance as you navigate your soul’s path and human experience. Think of tarot as an x-ray that allows you to see things from a deeper perspective, unveiling insights that are not readily apparent. It enables you to find solutions to problems by blending logic, reason, emotional intelligence, and a spiritual perspective provided by the tarot.
If you are seeking guidance, tarot is an incredible tool that can assist you on your journey of self-discovery and personal growth. It empowers you to make informed decisions that align with your soul’s purpose and enhance your overall human experience. Embrace tarot as a powerful resource that can shed light on your path and support your evolution.
Remember, the power of tarot lies not in predicting the future, but in illuminating the present and empowering you to shape your own destiny.
Remember you’re MAGIC!
