Six years ago, around this time of year, I started to read tarot cards. It was late June 2017, almost a year since I first began to learn Reiki and about energy healing.
I became friends with .healing after meeting at Salud Juice on 2nd St in Long Beach. One day when we met up one day, she handed me a tarot card deck and a book, saying that I had a very good memory and would likely not find it hard to remember the meaning behind each card.
Until that moment it had never even occurred to me that learning tarot was something I could do. I dove in and was enthralled by the layers of artwork, history, symbolism, color theory, and more. AP Art History was my favorite class in high school, and this felt like an upgrade from that.
Even though I'd offered free reiki healing to my friends & family to practice, none of them took me up on it. But everyone wanted a tarot card reading - from my coworkers to friend's parents. By mid July I was doing multiple readings a week. By October I started reading at .
Tarot is still one of my passions and obsessions. The first documented deck was created in Milan in the 1400s and I'm sure I've used various versions of these cards in multiple lifetimes.
Because of my experience, I always encourage people to study tarot if they have an innate desire. I taught myself through various books, websites, and a ton of practice. Over the last year I taught one-on-one tarot lessons and it made me appreciate these cards even more.
I'm so grateful for all of you who have been on this journey with me, and who are on this journey still. Getting to know all of you, to work with you, to share part of your life journeys and experiences, to offer help and guidance when I can, means so much to me. ❤
