Okay, so I’ve been wanting to dive deeper into tarot, and I finally decided to give the “Inner Light Tarot” practice a shot. I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but I was feeling a bit… lost, I guess? Like I needed some clarity.
First, I cleared my space. I lit some incense (I’m a sucker for sandalwood) and put on some chill, ambient music. No lyrics, just… vibes. I wanted to make sure there were no distractions, you know?
Getting Started
I laid out my tarot deck. It is a gift from my best friend, its colorful card that I really love. I’d already shuffled it a few times, just to get my energy into the cards. Then, I took a few deep breaths and tried to center myself. This is the hardest part for me, honestly, because my mind is always racing.
The Actual Practice
I focused on my intention. I didn’t have a specific question, more like a general feeling of wanting guidance. I wanted to tap into my inner wisdom, my intuition, whatever you want to call it. I closed my eyes and visualized a warm, golden light within me. I imagined it growing stronger and brighter with each breath.
Then, I drew three cards, one at a time. I didn’t rush it. I just let my hand hover over the deck until I felt a pull towards a specific card. I laid them out in a row, face down.
I flipped the cards over, one by one, and just… observed them. I didn’t try to analyze them right away. I just looked at the imagery, the colors, the symbols. What did they make me feel?
- The first card that I draw named “The Star”.
- The second card is “Wheel of Fortune”.
- And the last one is “Six of Wands”.
My First Reflection
After sitting with the cards for a while, I started to interpret them. The Star,Wheel of Fortune, Six of Wands. I looked up the basic meanings in a guidebook (yeah, I’m still a newbie!), but I also tried to connect them to my own life and feelings. What were they telling me, specifically?
Honestly, the “Inner Light” part of it really resonated. It wasn’t just about the cards themselves, but about connecting with that inner source of wisdom. It felt… empowering, in a way. I need more practices like this to figure it out.
It gave me a sense of hope, like a reminder that I have the answers within me. I just need to listen. So that is a good start, will keep practice for it.
