Summer Series - The Tarot: Your Inner Guide

Episode Summary

In this episode, host Terri Ann Hyeiman kicks off a new summer series on the Tarot. She begins by discussing the current global climate, urging listeners to focus on freedom, love, and raising their consciousness rather than getting caught in fear and drama.

The episode emphasizes summer as a time for introspection, rest, and connecting with your inner self. Terri Ann introduces the Tarot as a tool for self-discovery and intuition, not just fortune-telling. She debunks common myths, shares its history from a 15th-century Italian card game to a mystical tool, and explains the structure of a Tarot deck. The episode concludes with a collective Tarot reading for the month of July, using both the "Empowered Spirit" and "Wild Unknown" decks to provide clarity and guidance for the upcoming full moon.

Key Takeaways

• Focus on Freedom and Love: In challenging times, it's crucial to focus on what brings you freedom and happiness. Contribute to a collective consciousness of love to raise the global vibration.
• Embrace Summer's Energy: Summer is a season for rest, relaxation, and introspection. It's an opportunity to nurture the seeds of intention planted in the spring and connect with your soul.
• Process, Don't Suppress: Be mindful of how you handle your emotions. Instead of using distractions like food, shopping, or alcohol, learn to process your feelings to foster spiritual growth.
• The Tarot as a Tool for Intuition: The Tarot is an oracle that can help you bypass your logical mind and tap into your intuition. It's a way to understand yourself and your path on a deeper level.
• Anyone Can Read Tarot: You don't need to be a gifted psychic to read Tarot cards. It's a skill that can be learned by anyone willing to tune into their intuition.
• The Hero's Journey in Tarot: The structure of the Tarot, particularly the Major Arcana, mirrors the "Hero's Journey," representing the cycles of growth, challenges, and lessons in our own lives.
