Exploring the Tarot

Tarot is well known to consist of 78 cards, each of which symbolizes an archetypal human experience or event. It’s equally well known as a means of fortune-telling. But what is not so well known is the spiritual philosophy that weaves the 78 separate cards together into a profound story about the origin and destiny of the Soul. It’s a story that everyone could benefit from knowing, whether you’re interested in Tarot or you are simply a spiritual seeker.
