Hello everyone
This may sound like such a silly question so I hope everyone will forgive me but I just wonder how you refer to the Tarot in terms of gender, or don't you think of it in those terms at all?
I just realised today that I always think of the Tarot as 'she' and I think of 'consulting her' when I have an issue or dilemma that I am seeking help and guidance with. Over the years I have come to think of the Tarot as being like a close, female friend, who I can ask about anything, talk about anything and be totally open and honest with.
I wondered today if I was being disrepectful in any way in using 'she/her', and whether it might offend anyone? The reason I ask is that I am thinking of starting a Tarot blog (in the planning stage only at the moment) and have been jotting things down - and for the first time I have seen in 'on paper' as it were how I refer to the Tarot as 'her'.
Any thoughts and observations from members here would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
