Currently, there are hundreds of thousands of decks for divinatory use on the market. Decks based on every kind of historic type, some made completely new, and some with no “tarot” base at all. There are oracle cards, a card type that typically does not have any formal structure except to have each card contain some kind of instruction

or insight for the user to lean into.

It is interesting to note that the Tarot was not built out of any religious belief or tradition, and was built solely from a place of entertainment. This provides freedom we don’t always have with things of this nature, so be sure to make how you read or interpret the cards to be yours. Make sure you are comfortable in the decks or reading styles you choose and the way you get information and insight from the cards. It is important to note that one should be responsible as well, as often divinatory practices can be emotionally and spiritually charged and we should be making sure that we protect ourselves from energetic loss and negativity.

The tarot provides a space for creators and divinators alike to explore new ways to explore themselves intimately, perhaps in ways they have never before. Tarot cards mirror back to us the ways and spaces that we can use to heal, love, and move forward in our lives. They can give us insight on things about ourselves we may not have known about or acknowledged, and can highlight traits in others we may have glossed over or willingly turned away from.

No matter how we learn, use, and share the tarot, it is obvious that there is a rich and far reaching history to the cards. We bring from that deep symbolism and can bring those meanings to apply to our modern life. We apply them to our emotional speed bumps and to our new societal problems. We use tarot to gain clarity on how to spiritually and energetically navigate the world we live in now, using past symbols and teachings to move us into the future.
