1. Gain Clarity and Understanding. One of the main benefits of using tarot cards is that they can help you gain clarity and understanding about your life. Tarot cards can help you see situations from a different perspective and provide insights you may not have considered. They can also help you identify patterns or behaviors that may hold you back and guide you toward making positive changes.

The images and symbols on the cards can trigger your subconscious mind, allowing you to tap into your inner wisdom and intuition. By using tarot cards, you can learn to trust your intuition and use it as a guide in your daily life.
3. Enhance Your Creativity. Tarot cards can also enhance your creativity. The images on the cards can inspire new ideas and perspectives and help you tap into your creative potential. By using tarot cards as a tool for self-discovery, you can unlock new levels of creativity and innovation.
4. Develop a Deeper Relationship with Yourself. Using tarot cards for self-discovery can also help you develop a deeper relationship with yourself. By reflecting on the messages and insights the cards provide, you can better understand your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. This self-awareness can help you build a stronger relationship with yourself and enhance your personal growth.
5.  Improve Your Decision Making. Using tarot cards for self-discovery can help you make better decisions. By gaining clarity and understanding about your life and connecting with your intuition, you can make decisions that align with your values and goals.

Before I close this article, I want to acknowledge the recent passing of Rachel Pollack, a renowned tarot author and one of the most influential figures in the world of tarot. Rachel Pollack was a true pioneer in the field of tarot, and her contributions to the study and practice of tarot have been immeasurable.

Rachel Pollack authored several tarot books, including 78 Degrees of Wisdom, considered a classic in the tarot community and the very first book on the tarot that I purchased and read from cover to cover. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to meet Rachel in person and attend her seminars and workshops at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York.

As we continue to explore the world of tarot and use it as a tool for self-discovery, let us take a moment to honor Rachel Pollack's legacy and the profound impact that she has had on the world of tarot.

May Rachel's soul rest in peace and her spirit live on through her many published works, not just in tarot but her works of fiction, art, handmade jewelry, and more.
