Tarot is a book of spiritual wisdom in picture form that tells the story of all human experience.
With tarot, we connect with Spirit to discern wise guidance for the present, develop understanding of the past, and learn ways to work to manifest our goals and possibilities for the future.

Here are three exercises to help you on your tarot journey, and on your journey through life.
Read MoreSeparate from your Minor Arcana the four Aces, four Tens, and all sixteen Court cards, separated by rank. As we explore each number and rank, consider how the suit/element is expressed in each card.
Aces: Aces are a new beginning, the source or the essence of their element. The Ace is the purest form of the element.
Shuffle your four Aces, and ask this question: What is a source of strength upon which I could draw more fully?
Pull one card to give your answer. What card did you receive? What does it mean to you?
Tens: Tens represent a fullness, or the completion of a cycle or a journey.
Shuffle your four Tens, and ask this question: What am I full of right now?
Pull one card to give your answer. What card did you receive? What does it mean to you?
Now look at your Ace and your Ten together. How does your Ace give you strength to help you with your Ten?
Pages: Pages refer to youth, learning and communication.
Shuffle your four Pages, and ask this question: What am I learning right now?
Pull one card to give your answer. What card did you receive? What does it mean to you?
How does the lesson of your Page tie in to the story told in your Ace and Ten?
Knights: Knights refer to coming of age, travel and pursuit.
Shuffle your four Knights, and ask this question: What should I be pursuing right now?
Pull one card to give your answer. What card did you receive? What does it mean to you?
Queens: Queens refer to mature feminine wisdom, and nurturance.
Shuffle your four Queens, and ask this question: What is my source of wisdom right now?
Pull one card to give your answer. What card did you receive? What does it mean to you?
Kings: Kings refer to masculine leadership, and authority.
Shuffle your four Kings, and ask this question: Where should I take a leadership role right now?
Pull one card to give your answer. What card did you receive? What does it mean to you?
Now look at your Knight, your Queen and your King. How do these three energies support you in taking your next steps forward in life?
Take all six cards you have drawn today, and shuffle them. Pull one to give you a final thought. Pay special attention to it’s number/rank and it’s element. What direction does this card give you?
One of my favorite tarot exercises is to group cards together in twos and threes and see what they have in common.
This is especially fun with the Major Arcana. This exercise can help us understand the many facets of a particular card.
For instance, follow the High Priestess through these different groupings.
What do you see in the High Priestess that you hadn't seen before?
What other groupings make sense to you?
Who are you? I mean, really - who are you?
Our search for personal identity is as ancient as it is illusive.
The computer age has perhaps made matters worse. Each social network asks us to profile ourselves; to describe the essence of our being in four hundred characters or less. Many of us have different profiles for each hobby, professional goal and personal achievement. We become fragmented. Who am I as a drummer, a dancer, a tarotist, a naturist, a writer and a mother? How should my Facebook profile be different from my profile on LinkedIn?
As we age, our sense of identity changes. As children, our identity is formed by family. As young adults, we strive to create an identity separate from family. We want to be unique individuals. When we partner, we become part of a "we" instead of a singular identity.
Is there something at the core of each one of us that remains constant? Is there something that makes each of us unique?
So often in professional tarot reading I see that my client is struggling to understand and express his or her identity.
As it turns out, tarot can not only identify the problem, but also help us find the solution.
Mary K. Greer's recent book, Who are You in the Tarot, offers many ways to use tarot to help understand the biggest mystery of all - your own identity. More and more, tarot is being used as a tool of self-understanding and self-development.
I teach a webinar entitled Personal Tarot -Reading for Yourself that not only teaches good self-reading practices, but also ways of finding tarot cards that are connected to the self, and therefore defining of the identity.
In a quickly changing world, it is important for us to feel strong in our own core identity. Here are some easy ways tarot can help us do that.
As you can see, tarot is a tool that can help you understand yourself. From there, you can use the cards to help you create the positive changes you desire in your life.
Once you understand who you are at core, and once you own your identity, you can go forward to live the life that is perfectly suited for you!
