How do tarot cards work?
The process is known as synchronicity, a term coined by psychologist Carl Jung. In synchronicity, there is no distinction between inner and outer. The choice of a card is exactly what your higher self already knows. It’s not magic or incidental —tarot cards are a sacred mirror. The most powerful way to read/ consult the Tarot is to use the cards to access your intuition and your inner wisdom. The imagery on the cards gives you instant access to your subconscious mind and your intuition. This will help in receiving any advice, message as well as help or guidance of any kind. Real tarot readings become a therapeutic process for gaining valuable insights.
Tarot card reading is the practice of using tarot cards to gain insight into the past, present or future by formulating a question, then drawing and interpreting cards. Some think of Tarot as a tool for self-awareness and reflection, rather than “fortune telling.”
