Why Learn the Tarot?
by Rebecca Brents

Why learn the Tarot? It's a fair question. But there can be several reasons why people ask me this.

Why Does the Tarot Work?
by Rebecca Brents

At its most superficial level, the Tarot contains cards which when randomly selected with a question, problem or request in mind and laid out in a pre-arranged pattern will tell a story to someone who knows how to "read" the cards.

For The Fool in Us All
by Rebecca Brents

The Fool is Card 0 in the Tarot, the foundation energy of the Major Arcana. Its metaphors symbolize the unique, adventurous, exuberant human spirit in all of us, the confident and joy-filled beings we were meant to be.

The Fool
Card 0 in the Major Arcana
by Rebecca Brents

The Fool is Card Number 0 in the Major Arcana. An interesting mathematical metaphor, zero: expressing both nothingness and infinity. Not the beginning point, defined by any limits ... but some quality that exists before the beginning ... the tabula rasa, the blank slate, whose void contains all potential.

Playing the Fool
What the Fool Card Means in a Layout
by Rebecca Brents

Sometimes in the course of learning your own limits and stretching the boundaries of your personal courage, you just need to take a flier ... and trust that God is so much on your side that even stepping off a cliff will let you land up somewhere new ... safe and sound.

Fooling Around

The Fool Reversed gives a sad and crippled picture of all this fine potential. And if too many of us can see ourselves in the ironic title of The Fool card, way too many will recognize the misery of not taking that ever-so-foolish chance to live our most authentic life ... and playing it too safe, at the cost of our true spiritual offering.

The Star
Card 17 in the Major Arcana
by Rebecca Brents

The companion card to The Fool is The Star ... Number 17. Tarot scholars correlate this marvelous, inspirational energy to Aquarius, the sign ruled by Uranus. Stars themselves ... with their twinkling mystery ... have long held a special place in the human imagination (one of the meaningful metaphors for this card) and in human lore.

Star Light, Star Bright
What the Star Card Means in a Layout
by Rebecca Brents

When The Star appears in a Tarot layout ... or comes in response to a question or request, understand that you are being handed a marvelous gift, and a challenge to joint the fraternity of explorers and discoverers that boost humankind to ever-greater heights.

Falling Star
What the Star Card Reversed Means in a Layout
by Rebecca Brents

When the Star is reversed in a Tarot layout, the potential for magic exists ... but it definitely needs some care and attention to flare into its proper brilliance again.

The Journey Inward
by Rebecca Brents

The decision to study the Tarot can stem from many reasons, all unique, some hard to explain. For me, there was a fascination with the future and the ability to see into it, beyond the shadow of the next moment, or tomorrow ... or next week. In that, I'm sure I'm not alone.

Tarot Time
Tarot
Teacher and Treasure
by Rebecca Brents

The Tarot is a powerful aid in helping a reader access the contents of his or her subconscious mind ... which is itself a tantalizing asset, with exceptional access into possibilities of the future, the realm of things not yet visible, and the levels of creation where reality and time as we know them are being formed.
