Hi there.
I am just curious as to everyone's opinions on the nature of the tarot, as in how it actually works. Although new to this, in the past I've heard everything from "it's spirit guides" to "the cards that appear are totally random and your interpretation is simply a projection of your own psyche".
Personally, as with any divination tool, I believe (although this may change as I learn more), that it is to do with the directing of your will into the universe. I'm sure many of you here are aware, and even believe the concepts regarding thought being energy, and producing a reaction just like any other action. Many spiritual paths deal with the idea that a strongly focused intention directed properly will result in the manifestation (through any possible means) of what is desired.
I am still not sure of my feelings as far as spirit guides go. Don't get me wrong, I'm a strong believer in spirit guides, but if we are talking about their influence when you are reading cards, is that not getting into the realm of mediumship, which to my knowledge is a whole other road?
I'm very interested to hear all your thoughts on this. If this has been discussed before or belongs in another section then please accept my apologies.
Peace
