Tarot cards can be used as a psychological process as one passes through different stages of existence to reach a state of full development. Each tarot card symbolizes a stage on the journey. The archetypal figures discuss the maturation and growth of the individual as they gain unity with the world around them. At the beginning of our journey, we become aware of our consciousness, the outer concerns of life in society, and the worth of material possessions. But once the traveler gets gratification from their outer world, an awareness of the subconscious appears, and the desire to search inward becomes imperative in order to discover who we truly are. Once the awareness is developed, the traveler gains a spiritual awareness, a release of energy. With this understanding of universality, it becomes ever more apparent that we don’t live in a magical world, but the magic is here within the earth, elements, and ourselves.
One can recognize the appreciation of the human experience through viewing ordinary life through the lens of Tarot. As they provoke a sense of the past, present awareness, and intuition, I have created these tarot cards out of my “ordinary”. Melded together with controlled chaos exuberant colors, I drew inspiration from the symbolically charged archetypes of the Rider-Waite Tarot Deck. My cards provide a meditative quality, encouraging the viewer to get lost in the chaos and colors. With keen attention to the smallest details of our world and an understanding of our past and present, the Tarot Deck can assist you in looking at your options moving forward.
