katep
I have 2 daughters who are 9 and 7. They have seen me use my tarot occasionally and they like to look at the pictures but I mostly use them when they are not around. Anyway my eldest is an extremely secretive Scorpio and having some trouble at school so I thought the tarot might be a way in.
I explained to her that the cards can help you remember things in your subconscious but said they don't always work so don't read too much into it. She was quite excited and I said a protection prayer first then let her shuffle the cards till they felt right. She actually said they made her hands feel warm when they were right - whether her imagination or the sign of a nascent psychic ability, I don't know! Anyway I interpreted the cards for her and they did indeed make sense and open a discussion which was easier because 'Mum' hadn't suggested something, 'the cards' had. She also had some quite intuitive interpretations too.
She hasn't asked to use them again and I think I'll keep it very infrequent but I was quite encouraged!
