How the public perceives the tarot has dramatically changed over the last ten years or so. Before, people who are into tarot cards reading are slightly embarrassed or, worse, afraid to face those who give them a disapproving look. But now, the shame in tarot cards is mostly gone, some would even beg for a spread.
In other words, tarot is now fashionable. But why?
It’s possible that the current chaotic world is the reason. Volcanic eruptions, wildfire crisis, global pandemic, economic and employment recession, and the list goes on. On social media, you would see people at each other’s throats due to petty political disagreements or individuals who are obsessed with getting the most number of likes in their photos or videos. In the middle these left and right upheavals, many of us do feel really lost.
We are then left in a void, no standard framework that we can use to see the bigger picture.
That’s where the tarot comes in. Whether you learn it on your own, you ask someone to read for you, or even opt to try an online reading like https://onlinetarotreadings.net/, the tarot provides a path to a broader, calmer, and more refined perspective. It tells us that there is an inner wisdom that is not consciously available to our limited human understanding – and like religion, it gives us hope.
The optimism that the tarot reading offer is not what can be seen in your predestined fate as the tarot does not support a future set in stone. Instead, the people who receive the reading draw strength from it by connecting with the present and seeing the influences surrounding them. With these insights and better understanding, they can act towards an outcome or future that they prefer.
Each of the seventy-eight cards in a tarot deck has a particular origin and meaning, but its purpose will change based on where it lands and the cards that surround it. So, seeing the Death card does not always depict physical death. It can also be an end of something like a relationship or a project.
Some may regard the 45-minutes session of tarot reading as a quick therapy, while some believe that we are all existing as one collective and universal knowledge.
Many tarot cards enthusiasts find their reading often accurate and always comforting. They feel wiser and stronger, inspired and relaxed. With the tarot spread interpretation that they get, whether it’s rewarding or a warning, they find solace and direction.
Several may enroll in some psychic or divination crash courses just for fun but later find themselves hooked and learning it more. Some even take it seriously and practice professional reading.
To know more about their career. To ask about their love life. To inquire about their families or friends who are having difficulties with money or health. To confirm the decisions they are about to make. Pulling and reading a card guides them in many ways and circumstances – lifelong goals or daily struggles. The tarot doesn’t tell them the future, but they still patronize it because it opens the gateway to a broader vision of what current influences surround them and suggest where things can be headed.
