Tarot
A question.
A card.
A different way of seeing.
Tarot is a symbolic system built around a deck of cards, each carrying its own imagery, archetypes, and meanings.
A Tarot reading uses these symbols to explore questions, patterns, perspectives, and possibilities.

Tarot cards communicate through symbols, imagery, numbers, colors, gestures, objects, and relationships between figures.
A card is not only a word. Its meaning can change depending on the question, the surrounding cards, and the context of the reading.
Tarot begins with a question.
A reading starts with something you want to understand, explore, or look at from another perspective.
The Question
What are you trying to understand?
The Cards
The cards create a symbolic spread.
The Reflection
The reading connects the symbols with your question and your present situation.
