It wasn’t the cards. It was me.

My tarot practice stopped working.

Not because I didn’t believe in it anymore.
Not because I lost my connection to Spirit.
But because I needed it to show me something deeper.

That shift didn’t begin with intuition. It began with self-awareness.

I’ve always been spiritually curious. And like many of us, I was taught–implicitly or directly–that the divine was something outside of me. Something to reach for. Something I had to earn.

And for a while, that approach worked. Until it didn’t.

Because whatever the divine is–whatever that spark of source may be–it should hold steady, even in the storm. It should still be there when everything else falls apart.

But every time life cracked open, I kept getting swept away. I’d lose my center. 

Throughout it all, I kept pulling cards, but the messages weren’t landing. The clarity I used to find in the cards just…wasn’t there.

At the time, I thought I was doing something wrong. But now I know it wasn’t that I was disconnected from tarot. I was disconnected from myself.

I didn’t just need insight. I needed orientation. A way to see myself clearly: who I was, how I was moving, what I was carrying.

Because it’s one thing to recognize the divine spark within.
It’s another to ask:

  • Who am I, really?
  • What patterns am I repeating?
  • What parts of me are leading and which ones are disappearing?


When I started using tarot to explore those kinds of questions, everything shifted. Not because the cards changed, but because my intention did.

I wasn’t reaching for predictions anymore.
I was paying attention to how I was showing up, what I was carrying, and what was already unfolding inside me.

Tarot stopped being a way to look outward. And became a way to look inward, with more honesty than I’d been ready for before.

It didn’t give me answers. It gave me a clearer view of myself. And from there, I could finally begin to move forward–on my terms, in my timing.

If that’s the kind of tarot practice you’re craving–one that doesn’t just tell you what might happen, but helps you understand who you are and how you want to meet what’s unfolding–I’ve got something coming this fall.

I’m creating a course for people who want to learn tarot through this exact lens:
Not as a prediction tool, but as a mirror.
Not for certainty, but for self-awareness.
Not to bypass growth, but to support it.

If you want to learn tarot in a way that reflects who you are now–and helps you move through real life with more clarity and self-trust–I’d love to have you join us.
