When I was writing about the tarot on my writing Substack I felt free, I rejoiced in the enthusiasm of the amateur, the freedom of the random discovery.
Ever since I created a separate Substack, just because they were getting muddled, I started to feel a bit pressured to be more serious, more professional, which my brain dislikes deeply and rejects automatically. So, in a way, the perceived responsibility pushed me away from writing whatever crosses my mind about the tarot …
But then, I realized this is a fake sense of pressure, it is something I create by myself for my own misery. I do love a bit of misery me!
Nobody has any expectations from me, and I don’t need to become yet another didactic person talking about the tarot.
My strength is in my passion and in my own personal view and experience.
I have my own voice, my own view, my own world, so, my Tarotery will be just that, my unique way of dealing with the cards, reading them, seeing them, writing about them.
I love the Tarot, I don’t know why, I just have a passion for it, and despite being a person that becomes really obsessive about something, but then suddenly loses interest, I did not lose interest in the tarot. On the contrary, my passion grew and now I have I don’t know how many tarot decks and books about the tarot.
On every trip we take, I drag my very patient better half to books shops or esoteric shops to check out what I can find.
I want to share with you all of these wonderful things that I have found and I am lucky to have in my life.
I want to tell you about the strange and wonderful tarot decks I have, about the books I read (in full or partial), I want to share with you my own experience with the tarot.
The internet is full of resources and of guides, you can buy whatever deck you want now online, it is a great time to be a tarot enthusiast, and this is what my Tarotery is about, the enthusiasm and the passion for the Tarot.
The Tarot will not tell you the future, but it will center you, it will support you on your journey and it will keep you company.
It will give your mind space to be creative and it will give you strength by clarifying to yourself the path you want to be on.
The Tarot is not about witches and dark forces, it is about the being projected onto the cards, thus becoming infused with your own personal magic.
I hope you will join me on my travels in the world of the Tarot and that the Tarotery will be a comfortable oasis of quiet and joy.
