When we sit down to read Tarot cards we come to a threshold between what has been and what will be. A good Tarot reading does more than answer questions; it brings us to a liminal space where we discover possibilities and probabilities, challenges and opportunities. The attention we give to our selves and our circumstances allows us to take the next steps on our path with increased intention.

Tarot is an ancient art. The cards originated in Renaissance Italy portraying myths and ideologies of Christianity and Classical Greece and Rome. Scholars and artists have pondered the card's relations to mystery traditions of many cultures as well as Jungian psychology. Though the original intent remains a mystery, the wisdom inherent in the Tarot is as relevant in the 21st Century as the 15th.
