I realized before our NYE party that this site doesn't really do notifications of posts :/ > Do you feel Paganism or tarot makes a significant impact on your personal life? It absolutely does. I live it daily. It's not a practice once a week, or on the 8 parts of the year. And I use my honed abilities on a daily basis. For example, I've learned how to hear some animals talk, or at least impressions of words, thoughts, and feelings. They've taught me some things, like how catnip is called "happy dry". For me, its opening up conversations that normally we just don't have. Ive also been told by 1 of our cats that before we adopted her, that she was with a "bad family". And the "mean woman" would try to step on her tail. (I was able to teach myself this by starting with meditation. Took a while, but I could hear thought-words and pictures that didn't make sense. I realized that they were from living beings around me. And talking and meditating, I could hear them clearly.) There's naturally a lot more, but this is something that is more concrete as an example.. And it definitely makes my life better being able to cross these normally-uncrossable boundaries. > What can you achieve with tarot other than helping or reading others? I usually reserve tarot and other divination when a problem is ill defined or there's lots of stuff missing, and you need to an action (nothing is an action). Most problems like this are rather easily solved with pro/con lists and that sort of thing to talk it out. However, sometimes, a problem is too convoluted or too hidden to make sense. That's where I tend to reach for divination. I'm decently versed in tarot, I Ching, and a few lesser arts. All of them can provide the answers in some form or another, or guidance thereof. Now, for people starting off, the bigger issue is that some get into what I call "divinatory paralysis", where they do a reading for everything, no matter how small or obvious. It's one of the traps inherent in magick like this. And it can be hard to get out of. But for most cases, and most questions, tarot is just likely not needed. I tend to use it on the weird issues. Now, another thing to remember, is that tarot decks, oracle decks, yarrow sticks, are all just instruments. The power to do this is with the human, not the tool.
