“What makes it so hard is that before we can start the journey, we first have to step over the chasm our own fear and keep our heart open.” Cynthia Bourgeault My tarot practice is cyclical, and the way I use the cards tends to change with the seasons. Most months, I ask for a single card at the new moon to serve as a guide, teacher or companion to help me make meaning of the journey I’m on in that lunation. This has been a particularly impactful contemplative practice for me, and most of the time I don’t feel called to do more with my cards than that.
