The Tarot Is A Mystical Bridge To Spiritual Insight

Mysterious, symbolic and highly energetic, the Tarot is a high vibrational tool that can help us explore the deeper meaning behind the events of our daily lives, and the influence of Spirit in our earthly existence. The Tarot especially offers guidance in situations where may feel lost or confused, and it serves as a mystical bridge between our physical reality and the metaphysical realm. The cards have their own energy, a high vibrational frequency, which Spirit uses to communicate messages of guidance, encouragement, insight and caution.

Every Tarot reader has their own set of spiritual gifts and psychic abilities, and therefore we tend to each develop our own reading style accordingly. In my own readings, I find that Spirit most often seeks to illuminate areas in our lives where changes and healing may be needed, in order to bring about the most beneficial future outcomes. This can be anything from the need to shift one’s perspective, to the need to let go, or sometimes the need to simply accept things as they are.

Ultimately, I find Spirit uses the Tarot to get us ‘unstuck,’ so we get back in the flow. When we are in the flow, or in alignment, we are creating with the Universe, instead of creating resistance. Only then are we truly moving toward our highest good and the fulfillment of our greatest potential.

The Tarot is a conduit for communication with our guides and our higher self, through which we can gain a deeper understanding of the soul lessons and the magic happening in our lives.

From the physical ‘self’ perspective of the human ego, we often cannot see situations for what they really are. But our higher self understands the deeper meaning and purpose, and wants to lovingly guide us to a more joyful, peaceful and fulfilling existence.

Sometimes we can be very resistant when unwanted events shake up our lives. Typically, when difficulties arise, we get swept up in the drama of the situation, and allow ourselves to act from this highly-charged emotional state. In such times of trial, we can use the Tarot to take a step back and look at the situation from a wider lens, and receive guidance on the matter directly from Spirit.

I can assure you, none of the challenges you are facing in your life are ever designed to hurt you. They may be extremely painful and traumatic, certainly, but Spirit only ever brings us situations that challenge us, giving us the opportunity to learn and grow from them. This also puts the power back in our own hands. We get to choose how we will respond to the events in our lives, and whether or not we will consciously integrate the lessons we came here to experience.

Have you ever had the same kind of challenge or problem playing out in your life, over and over? Maybe you have a history of toxic relationships, or you’re always in a dead-end career situation? Or financially you are always struggling to keep your head above water, no matter how hard you work? Well, maybe it is time to ask yourself, why does this keep happening?

You can be sure that Spirit has been bringing you these repetitive situations so that you can learn, heal, grow, expand and become stronger. If you are not sure why, or how, consulting the Tarot can be a great way to gain a deeper understanding. These repeat events often mirror to us the areas in which we need to shift our perspective or expand our awareness. It gives us the opportunity to try something different each time, by presenting us these recurring themes.

This is also where the magic usually is. Because once you have one of those moments where everything just suddenly ‘clicks,’ there is nothing more incredible! These are the moments when we get a massive charge in our own vibrational field; when we raise our vibration and can feel, absolutely, the Truth within our heart.

In my experience, Spirit is always guiding us to deeper love and compassion. You may not understand the reason behind events initially, and honestly, you may never fully see for yourself the impact that events have. We must come to accept this, and trust that the Universe is always in divine order.

This does not mean we can all sit back and just allow life to pass us by, without participating. But it does mean that we are not fully in control. We have our free will, but so does every other soul we are co-creating with. Our greatest power is in how we respond to, and work with the situations in our lives. This is also where our lessons lay. Because we have no control over the free will of others, our focus is then best spent on ourselves, and on how we move and connect within the miracle of this Universe.

Remember that the Tarot is a great and sacred arcanum – its abuse is an obscenity in the inner and a folly in the outer. It is intended for quite other purposes than to determine when the tall dark man will meet the fair rich widow ~ Jack Parsons

The Tarot can serve as a potent tool for uncovering the growth areas we need to be looking at. For example, Spirit may reveal the perspective that needs to change, such as the aspects of your romantic relationship that you’ve been refusing to look at, or accept, and so on. The Tarot often exposes those things that may seem less cheerful, but which we need to be aware of to make better and more informed free will choices.

That being said, Spirit will also offer us encouragement when we are doing well! It also shows us how to expand upon the areas in our lives that are already bringing us success, joy and fulfillment. It encourages us to take risks to follow our dreams, and remind us of the blessings we already bring to lives of others.

It’s important to understand also that Spirit will never interfere with our choices. Consulting the Tarot, we can gain greater understanding and clarity around the decisions we have to make, but our free will remains sacred. The Tarot does not instruct us or give orders, it merely offers suggestions and guidance. And as we refine our own perspective, and develop deeper compassion for others, we learn to live more wholeheartedly. It is only in this space that the incredible majesty of Source can be truly appreciated.

The situations and events of our lives can be taken at face value, as challenges to be struggled through, or they can be seized as opportunities for growth and greater understanding. The next time you’re facing a major life challenge, instead of lamenting how hard it is, ask yourself: what is the lesson here? What am I not seeing right now? And if you’re struggling to find the answer on your own, the Tarot can be a powerful tool to help you discover the root of it all.

The bridge that the Tarot creates between our everyday lives, and the intricate inner workings of Spirit, gives us a mystical glimpse into everyday magic – the intricate, awe-inspiring, perfect Universe, and how it is at work in our lives. The Universe is always bringing us exactly the opportunity we need to achieve our dreams. What could possibly be more magical than that?
