Tarot Cards
This week’s meeting was pure wonder led by our very own Belle, Lucy—she took us on a fascinating exploration into the rich history and symbolism of the tarot cards. From humble beginnings as a 22-card deck of trumps (the Major Arcana) to the full 78-card pack we know today, tarot has evolved into a powerful tool for reflection and creativity.
🃏 The core of the cards is the Fool and the Fool’s Journey mirrors our own path through life—growth, challenge, and change.
Lucy shared the beauty of finding a deck that speaks to you and how your tarot deck becomes a companion that listens, remembers, and witnesses your story. More than fortune-telling, tarot can be a practice in mindfulness. One card can unlock deep insight and spark imagination.
Highlights from our session:
- From Playing Cards to Spiritual Symbols: Tarot weaves astrology, planets, and the zodiac into every reading.
- The Marseille Deck: A favourite for its simplicity and depth—easy to learn, hard to master.
- Lucy described her preference for the 3-card spread when reading the cards, reflecting the past, present, future—or mind, body, spirit.
- We learnt that Tarot isn’t just a deck—it’s a mirror, a muse, and a map. You can be drawn in by its philosophy, its artistry, or its wisdom and it offers a space to reflect and imagine.
