Tarot is a form of Divination, which is the art of accessing information, wisdom, and advice from the invisible realm—known variously as the spirit realm, the higher self or the divine. This is a realm we all have access to, as we ourselves are part of the interconnected Universe. The Tarot is a tool for understanding the language of this realm as it applies to our own life circumstances and development as human beings. Viewed in this light, the Tarot experience can be empowering, as it brings clarity to confusing situations and shows us that we have the ability to shape our future based on the choices we make in the present.
