What is Tarot? And Why Should I Care? By Alexandra Gibbons

Tarot is a Personal tool used by people of many religions and professions, and has been for centuries. Tarot is not associated with demons or any kind of evil. Tarot is a tool, like a computer. Some people use computers to hack websites or steal personal information, but most people use them to get information and connect to each other. You wouldn't blame a computer for a hackers' activity, so try to forget anything you think you know about tarot from movies or misinformed people. Your experience with tarot is a way to get to know the inner you, and to make better life decisions; a kind of magic mirror.

Yes some people use tarot to predict the future, but since we are all endowed with the creative power to change that future, it is not so much "This is your future", but "Here's what will happen if you continue doing what you are doing". There is no better way to understand this then to try it for your self, and we will get to that in a minute. Most people, use tarot as a connection to their higher power .This might be a god or goddess, the soul, the subconscious mind, or the universe. Tarot takes the things we overlook about ourselves and puts them right before our eyes, and sometimes this can be quite alarming, but it is always very rewarding. Anyone who uses tarot regularly loves it. They can't help it. It feels so good to create a strong relationship with yourself, the universe, and your beliefs.

Tarot has many uses. Of course there is the fortune-telling thing, but aspects of tarot are also used in psychotherapy for quick response analysis and problem solving. You can play games with your deck, and find out just about anything about yourself if you are willing to open your mind. So start learning how you can use tarot to better your life.
