Last week I took a short vacation to the stunning North Shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota. At one point, we decided to attempt a hike down a mountain through the woods on a hardly visible trail. We were warned that it was a hike for experts. After getting lost and feeling like we were in way over our heads, we left and headed for a State Park, with clearly marked and groomed trails. The...

We’ve all done readings that go along very well until suddenly your brain freezes and no words are coming out of your mouth. If you’re reading for someone else, this can be awkward or embarrassing.

Being an ever-practical Capricorn, I’ve never had a close relationship with The High Priestess card. But lately, I’ve been actively seeking her wisdom. Even though I believe I’ve made progress, The High Priestess still seems like a challenging card. She’s not exactly easy to get to know! But she is, ultimately, worth the effort. Not only is she fascinating in her own right, but she reveals worlds...

Selecting a card a day is a popular activity among tarot enthusiasts. Although the activity is basically the same—draw a single card each day—there are different reasons or goals, as well as different approaches. Some reasons include: to learn the cards or a specific deck, to check in with Spirit for guidance or inspiration, to use the image as a journaling prompt, or to predict what to expect...

April Fools Day, a light-hearted day filled with pranks and jokes, heralds the beginning, for me, of Spring Fever—that feeling of wanting to ditch work and mundane obligation in favor of adventure, preferably outdoors. After hunkering down during a long, dark, cold winter, I am ready, even if there is still a chill in the air, to wander. And this, naturally, makes me think of The Fool card. The...

Many people like to gather with others who share their interests. They join, for example, book clubs, sports leagues, knitting groups, political action committees, or neighborhood associations. They take classes. They network and participate in online forums. In this sense, tarot is like any other interest. Tarotists, whether professionals, amateurs, novices, or collectors, gather all over the...

Tarot communicates through symbols and through images. By doing so, it creates a bridge between the conscious and subconscious mind. In this way, by manifesting this world between worlds, tarot allows a unique divinatory experience, accessing our subconscious. Often, however, our consciousness plays just a big a role in how we interpret the cards. Acclaimed tarot writer Barbara Moore explains how the representation of gender and age in tarot decks can affect a reading.

As the practically perfect, ever practical, and wondrously magical Mary Poppins said, “Well begun is half done.” Wise words to keep in mind when facing a New Year. For me, memories of a clean book bag, empty notebooks, and new shoes planted the notion of autumn as the time for new beginnings firmly in my psyche. Although that impulse still remains, January is fast developing its own special...

Despite the decorations, parties, and gifts of the holiday season (or perhaps because of them), this can be a particularly trying and stressful time of year. During this season of darkness, it helps to be light. Barbara Moore illustrates how to use the Tarot to bring light to a season deserving of light.

There’s nothing like a brand new calendar to give a sense of determination and optimism. It’s a new year! With no mistakes in it! Yeah! There is the temptation (or peer pressure) to make resolutions…to start something or quit something or do something. Before you go too far, though, take a few minutes and analyze where you are at. Take a look at the last year before jumping...

Although all seasons bring about their own types of changes, those of autumn seem the most spectacular and profound to many. Whatever the season, changes are about letting go of the past and facing the future. Tarot expert Barbara Moore shares a couple of tarot spreads designed to help you embrace and understand change during this season of transition.

Autumn months are always fraught with contradictions for me. Nature overflows with bounty and vibrant color that all too quickly gives way to falling leaves and early frosts; the earth is preparing to rest and rejuvenate. November and December bring the need to review the past year and start thinking of the next. As 2008 winds down, I cannot help but think of all the changes this year has...

Tarot is a tool useful in many ways for many things, from meditation and spiritual insight to divination and fortunetelling. Yet, everytime we consult the tarot, we are in search of some sort of answer. Tarot expert Barbara Moore explains how the questions we ask in hopes of an answer are just as important as the answer itself.

Tarot decks are recognized as seventy-eight cards full of wise advice and a multitude of uses. They are so elegant in design, cloaked in the aura of history, and filled with promises for the future. So why would a tarot user consider an oracle deck? As a former tarot snob (for years I would never consider using an oracle) who has discovered the joy of oracles, I think I can answer this. An...

Tarot is a useful tool and can be used in many ways for many things: meditation, brainstorming, creativity, divination, problem-solving, spiritual insight. What they all have in common, though, is the search for an answer of some sort. We ask things like: What is the best way to approach this project? What should I do about this situation? How can I resolve this disagreement? How can I improve my...

May 6–8, tarot readers gathered in New York to attend the third annual Readers Studio. In addition to lots of fun, great company and good shopping, the presenters — Corrine Kenner, Teresa Michelsen and James Ricklef — taught and inspired us. ...
Much of the history of tarot is rooted in France. It’s not surprising that Marseille was famous for its paper manufacturers that specialized in playing cards because other forms of divination were popular there as well. Marie Anne Lenormand ...
“It’s a poor sort of memory that only works backwards.” ~Lewis Carroll Let’s be frank. Most people use tarot cards to try and glimpse the future, right? Even when I’m using the cards to help make decisions, weigh the pros and cons of choices, find inspiration, or make a plan to achieve a goal, I usually always have a card representing a possible or probable future....
Although most people don’t know it, the Tarot is kind of like the Swiss Army knife of self-help tools. The seventy-eight cards of the Tarot deck are well known as predictors of the future, the favored instrument of fortunetellers. But did you know that the Tarot can help you find solutions to problems, focus your meditation, enhance your journaling, supplement your magical practice, and...
