Tarot for Life: Reading the Cards for Everyday Guidance and Growth
by Paul Quinn
If a national poll were conducted about attitudes toward the Tarot, I could predict the outcome. The majority of people would view it as frivolous—an amusing diversion at carnivals and costume parties. Coming in at a close second would be those who see it as a scam luring the flaky and gullible. A slightly smaller number would shiver at the mention, having seen the cards demonized in horror movies or heard them denounced from church pulpits. A handful would express admiration for the Tarot as a fortune-telling tool, and at least one smart aleck would quip, “Turow? He’s my favorite author!”
But the Tarot that I know—and can’t wait to tell you about—is virtually unknown to the public, unknown even to those who have had their “fortunes told.” The Tarot I want to share with you is a treasure box, within which you have the pleasure to discover:
• a lifelong key to your Inner Wisdom
• a catalyst for your creativity and inspiration
• flashcards for your intuitive development
• a set of visual affirmations
• meditation focuser
• decision-making aid
• dream interpreter
• perspective enhancer
• emotional compass
• metaphysics teacher
• spiritual advisor
• tool for self-understanding
Go even deeper into the Tarot and you’ll find a philosophy—one founded on ancient-turned-modern ideas of spiritual evolution. For those on a conscious path of awakening, this is the Tarot that gives rise to a deeper conversation with the voices of Self and Universe, that enhances the potential for psychological as well as cosmic insights, and that offers a timeless template for transformation.
