Tarot Cards - Simon, of The Hermit's Cave, Explains Their Value

Everyone knows of tarot cards. Many take advantage of the many things they have to offer. Others look at them as nonsense.

Like most people I knew of tarot cards and did have the association with gypsies and fortune telling until one day in Sebastopol California when I walked into the Milk & Honey metaphysical bookstore where I instantly fell in love with a beautiful tarot deck that I knew I had to purchase. It was the Simplicity Tarot by Emlie Muniz.

Before that, I had no interest in learning the tarot though once in a great while I'd have a reading from a tarot person or I'd watch tarot readings on YouTube. They were always thought-provoking. They offered an opportunity to look at life things deeply. Their biggest value was how quickly they tuned me into the spiritual realm and reoriented me in the larger reality and put the smaller pieces of life in perspective.

Once I purchased the cards, I realized I had to learn more, so I began the research. One of the most interesting books I read on the tarot was by a psychiatrist who used the cards in his sessions.

And then came the opporunity to use the cards for some urgent and important questions I had about my life. That's when I experienced the way the cards draw you in, pull you inwards to gain deeper insights and know your deepest truth, a larger truth of life.

Being psychic, I was completey taken by surprise when I found out that the cards, in themselves, held a lot of power. I suspect that may be because of the hundrerds of years that were given to it; people, for centuries sought answers through them -- and that can give anything a lot of power.

I was amazed at the insights I gained and the power of the cards. At that moment, the direction of my life changed. Being psychic it's easy enough to see things with other people, but for myself it is harder when I am looking for direction and answers for myself; the emotion, the urgency is too high to go deep enough to see clearly. As an aside, that's one of the reasons I created the guided meditations. They help me access deeper realms when its too difficult to do it just through general contemplation.

Because of my interest in the tarot, I came across Simon's channel on YouTube: the Hermit's Cave. He's been on the tarot journey since he was 16! In this video he explains that journey. I find it amazing that he was able to put into words such a complex subject -- the way the tarot works, its incredible value in personal growth and spiritual development. It's an extraordianry, outstanding description.
