One must constantly keep in mind the ambivalence of every symbol. Insistance on either one or the other of the contradictory attributions inherent in a symbol is simply a mark of spiritual incapacity; and it is constantly happening, because of prejudice. It is the simplest test of initiation that every symbol is understood instinctively to contain this contradictory meaning in itself.
— Aleister Crowley, Book of Thoth, Fool
What are the benefits of a good tarot reading?
There is still an image of tarot readers giving some kind of gypsy reading about ‘what will happen to me?’. When I get that question I invariably reply ‘nothing’. It is what we do that counts, but when there is a crisis of confidence or an unexpected change of direction, then a Tarot reading is very useful. A good tarot reading is empowering and uplifting, and brings energy, insight and inspiration. I see this every day, but I still get such a good feeling when it happens for my clients.
Exploring and understanding exactly what happens in a good tarot reading is not easy to explain, but this is my best attempt so far.
