Tarot
Each tarot card represents a distinct principle, law, power or element in nature. The designs on the cards illuminate the life of mankind—our joys, sorrows and our search for wisdom.
Although the earliest known date (1390 AD) is attributed to a tarot pack being displayed in a European museum, it is almost certain that the history of the cards goes back even further into the shrouded mists of antiquity. The 22 cards known as the ‘Major Arcana’ are said to be derived from the pages of the oldest book in the world originated by Hermes Trismegistus, Counselor of Osiris, King of Egypt, at a period when hieroglyphic writing, magic, astrology, and other mystic sciences flourished. Some scholars maintain that they were invented by the Chinese; others that they were brought from India by the Gypsies.
The Tarot has affected the thinking of man in many cultures and many ages. An understanding of their symbolic meanings gives us a unique opportunity to master a significant part of occult wisdom. Symbols are the picture forms of inner thought; they have been called the doors leading to the hidden chambers of the mind.
I have developed an approach where I combine the intuitive and mystical influence of Rommany Gypsies — looking at past, present and future — with a psychological perspective. I believe the symbols and images of the Tarot are profoundly connected to the subconscious activities of the human mind.
Through my readings a space is created where self-acceptance, inner freedom and peace of mind can be experienced — as well as a profound awareness of the joy that life can offer.
