I have been loving Tarot for over 10 years now. For all this time, I kept this practice to myself. I am working as a resident in psychiatry and psychotherapy, and was held back by the belief that doctors and psychotherapist should not publicly engage in things considered magic. Recently, I overcame this belief and it feels so great to finally be able to share my way of seeing Tarot with other people. ✨💜 I was brave enough to get out there on social media, tell my friends about it, join groups and Communities and connect with people there. I’ve even told coworkers in the hospital that I am a Tarot enthusiast. All reactions have been very positive so far, and I feel so complete to be able to share this passion with like minded people. 🌻

Inspired by @Jenn Mccann we’re going to look to Sunday’s as a day for self reflection and positive set up for the week ahead! If you feel inspired, take some time today for yourself to think about what you want the upcoming week to look like. Then set at least one intention for the week. But no more than three. You don’t want to overwhelm yourself and feel disappointed if you don’t meet all of them. Post your intentions in the comments so we can support one another, hold each accountable, and get a boost if we’re struggling during the week. This upcoming week is inspired by the card Queen of Pentacles You can use this card to help you reflect if you’d like. ❤️❤️❤️

A big shout out to all mothers and to all those who have taken on mothering roles 💚 You are amazing and you deserve respect and gratitude 😍 Thank you for your service 🙏

Ok, let's talk tarot spreads! What is a spread? A spread is predetermined card positions with assigned meanings or questions for each card pulled for each position. As a beginner, should you even use a spread? Can't you just pull some cards and try and read them together? You can.... But, in order the break the rules you need to know the rules first. (Picasso) And parameters actually force creativity, not constrain it! (I learned this the hard way in art school!) When you're bound by the spread, you're forced to read within the bounds of the meanings of the positions of the cards and the predetermined questions. This makes you think, it makes you question, it forces you to be quiet and let your intuition have a chance to poke it's head out. This is how you learn to tell a story. This is how you learn to weave the cards together cohesively. Can it be hard? Yes. Can it be frustrating? Yes. But you have to practice. Practice. Over and over again. Sorry. 🤣 But you do need to practice strategically. In a way that will build skill. And yes, reading tarot is more skill than intuition! (Bet ya didn't see that coming!) Wait, what? Yes, it's about 90% skill and only about 10% intuition. Think about it. Let's use myself as an example. I'm an artist. I'm a good artist if I say so myself. I have work in a museum show right now. I just got juried into a new arts association. So, I got some skills. (Girls like guys with skills🎬🤣) Now was I born an amazing artist? Did I come out of the womb with the ability to paint the way I do now? Nope. I was born with about 10% innate talent. That's it. That's what most talented people are born with. And all of us are born with intuition. About 10% innate intuition. So, how did I get the other 90% of my talent that allowed me to get where I am now? I freakin practiced. Like, a lot. I mean a lot. Do you know how many naked people I've drawn or the same damn still life I've drawn, over and over and over again? 100's, maybe 1000's.
