Furthering Tarot for Self Discovery - Exercises with Tarot
Hi,
A book that I’ve really enjoyed working with this year is Nina Lee Braden’s Tarot for Self Discovery. As far as I know, this is one of the few books to actually just get straight into using The Tarot, rather than going through the decks, the history etcetera etcetera.
Anyway, I recommend the book for what it does. Not all the exercises work for me – I find many of them either wishy washy or rather wishful thinking in what they set out to do, but others have been great to work through – and that’s Tarot for you!
Anyway – I’d like to see what this book has started as a work in progress – and something that our collective minds, varying expertise, and life experience can now add to! I often get those moments where I’m hungry to use one of my decks – but I really don’t feel like doing a spread or attempting any kind of divination, which is why I think that creating exercises with the cards for self discovery/tarot discovery/ or discovery or exploration with another (if they’d rather not have an actual reading) is tremendously rewarding and a great way of keeping Tarot fresh and getting closer to the cards.
So I’d like to suggest that we use this thread to submit our own exercises or ideas for exercises.
If anyone would like to start the ball rolling or ask any questions, then that would be great – I think it’s something we can all do together. If not I shall wrack my brains to put my money where my mouth is and post an idea myself next week!
Best wishes,
A.
