Tarot, can often be a misunderstood practice that seems to be shrouded in myth and skepticism.  People may think of the tarot as a fortune telling practice, but I'm here to change that one sided narrative.  In this blog post, I reveal my personal journey with the tarot and how I overcame my own fears and misconceptions about tarot.  I discovered that it's a profound tool for self-discovery and personal growth as opposed to something to be feared. Rather than dictating the future, tarot serves as a daily guide for reflection, helping uncover my own hidden truths and helping me to navigate through life with more clarity and purpose.

Embracing my passion of tarot, I leaped out of my comfort zone, co-creating "The Tarot Table with Bonnie and Peter," a podcast aimed at exploring tarot's mysteries. By sharing my tarot journey, I hope to inspire others to embark on their own path of discovery, using tarot as a luminous guide towards personal enrichment and self-expression.

This month's intention, inspired by a heartfelt tarot reading, includes themes of self-compassion, and appreciating the abundance that surrounds us. The Queen of Pentacles encourages embracing nurturing love, generosity, and the wealth found not only in finances but in overall well-being, relationships, and self-care. This card acts as a reminder to appreciate the abundance present in our lives and to cultivate a balance of nurturing and ambition, fostering a life filled with prosperity and contentment.

The Five of Swords brings attention to internal conflicts and the importance of communication, urging introspection on whether our thoughts and words lead us toward harmony or discord. It highlights the power of acknowledging vulnerabilities and choosing paths with integrity and compassion, both towards ourselves and others. This card serves as a powerful reminder to choose battles wisely, to speak and act with kindness, and to let go of defeating thoughts, paving the way for inner peace and true victory.

Lastly, the King of Pentacles symbolizes success, stability, and the enjoyment of life’s pleasures without attachment. This energy invites us to dream big, to nurture our desires with patience, and to appreciate the current abundance in our lives as a foundation for future prosperity. It reminds us of the importance of staying grounded and connected with nature, sharing our successes, and embracing the stability and security that come from living in alignment with our true values and integrity. Together, these cards weave a narrative of balancing ambition with compassion, urging us to find abundance in all forms as we navigate through life's challenges and opportunities.
