What? This month it is about Tarot cards, so you’ll experience how they work and their potential.
There is beautiful Tarot deck created by Maria Grazia Ogier. She was collaborating with Franca Errani Civita when she wrote her book about Tarots ‘I Venti de Risveglio’ (The Winds of Awakening). This is my favourite deck and is available on line through the website of Franca Errani Civita. The website is in Italian, however following my instructions you will be able to pick a card from the on line deck and work with Tarots even if you don’t understand Italian.
In the page that is linked below is possible to shuffle the deck (click where you read ‘Mescola il mazzo’) and choose one of the cards. As you choose a card you can have in mind a particular theme.
This is a perfect solution if you don’t have a deck of Tarot or if you want to work with this beautiful deck. You will familiarize with the use of Tarot and discover something of yourself.
So, choose a question and shuffle the deck (Mescola il mazzo):

Just observe the card and your feelings towards the card: if you like or dislike it, if it represents you or is the opposite of you. What would the card tell you about your theme if it could talk?
Observe the card as you would reflect on a dream, trying to feel what is in it for you.
The more relaxed and open you are the better the experience will be.
The most important thing I’ve learned about Tarots is that you don’t need to know the traditional meaning assigned to the cards to work with them. In fact some of the most beautiful insights happens to people who don’t know the theory behind the Tarots and just observe the images in the cards and experience the energies that are triggered.
