There’s no need to be a mystical psychic to learn the art of Tarot. All that's needed is a deck that you connect with, and to listen to your intuition. Intuition is an inner knowing, it has nothing to do with logic or having proof of anything. It is having a feeling about something and trusting that feeling. Most people don’t trust that feeling, and often say, “I should’ve followed my first mind.”. For example, You are driving to work about to get on the interstate, but you have a feeling you should take a different route. Because you didn’t listen, you are now stuck in traffic and late for work. This happens when you second guess yourself. Always trust your inner knowing.
Psychic abilities are a bit different. It is a knowing that goes beyond the threshold of logic. Some may call it a gift, some say that we all have the potential to tap into the psyche. There are different types of psychic gifts. Clairvoyance is when you receive visions of the past, present, and future. Clairaudience is when you hear words, sounds, or music in your mind. Clairsentience allows you to feel the energy or a person, place or thing. There are many different ways in which these gifts can manifest. However, just like intuition, a psychic can use these gifts without even trying. They are born this way. For those that are not born with the gift activated, you can train yourself to open them up more.

To be an efficacious tarot card reader, you don’t have to be psychic, just listen to your intuition. The more you use your intuition, the stronger it gets. It’s just like any skill a person has. Once you learn that you are skillful at it, the more you practice, the better you get. Tarot cards are a tool that helps you to strengthen your intuition. It helps us to get a picture of what is going on in the life of the person being read. I tell people that Tarot reflects our energy. Like looking into a mirror.
For some people, aligning with their intuition comes with ease, for others it may take some work. A box of Tarot cards are not magic themselves. They may be a little but the real magic is in you. It is the reader's energy that goes into the cards that gives it the most “magic”. A fruit is just a fruit until you make it into something else. Like a candied apple or apple pie. The way a person connects to the images and symbols on the cards is what creates the magic. Those images and symbols trigger a story within the reader that helps them to relay messages to the person being read. So, if you are a visual person that has a vivid imagination, it would be most useful with reading Tarot.
If you are interested in reading Tarot, there are many decks currently on the market. Scan through to see which catches your eye. Spend some time looking through each card and take note of how they make you feel. Pull one card a day to see how that image plays out for you. The more you do this, your intuition will strengthen.
