tarotprose: Dear Tarot and Divination Communities of social media, Tarot and divination has always been this outlet of inspiration, these tools that constantly help me grow and become a better me. During my use of Tarot and divination, there was always one thing that I sought to be a part of, one thing that I was lacking, and that was a community. I know that community means a lot of different things to different people but as far as Tarot and Divination communities of social media are concerned, I find it such a profound place of expression, sharing, growing and truth. It isn’t always easy living in your truth, being accepted and feeling like you belong. I wanted to take this time to let you all in on some things that have been on my mind and heart recently. You Are Wanted And Needed Here: I cannot count how many new blogs, and seasoned professional blogs that have helped me along my journey with divination. I learn so much from everyone’s perspective and unique way of doing things. Without your voice, your words, your videos, graphics, and perspective, I know I wouldn’t be where I am today. Your blog content and you being uniquely you has the potential to not only help yourself but other people, even if that wasn’t the original intention. You belong here. You have a place here to be yourself. Pat Yourself On The Back: I am so proud of all of you. So many of you are just starting out on your journey and are accepting divination into your life, others are practicing readings for other people for the first time, while some of you are opening up your own shops and transitioning into the professional sphere of reading tarot and divination. There are some of you who have just reached year one in your businesses, those who have decided to purchase their first deck and those starting to get to know their deck(s), and some building beautiful Tarot and divination collections. You have no idea how incredible that is. No matter what part of your journey you are on, know that you are doing the best you can and you are right where you are meant to be. There Are No Rules To Tarot: Let me repeat that again. There are no rules to Tarot. You can read Tarot and utilize divination any way you see fit in your life. I often see new readers become discouraged because they feel they need to do things a certain way in order to be considered valid. You are valid in every sense of the word. Still use a book while reading, that is fine. Don’t like to use the Rider Waite Smith, that is cool. This is YOUR journey. Experiment, have fun and find what works for you and let go of what doesn’t. Your relationship with your tools will always be a personal one. Tarot and divination has infinite uses. Allow your imagination to run wild. You have the final say so. Find your own voice and let it shine. Encouragement: To all of you who have encouraged me on my journey with your reblogs, likes, comments, emails, messages, I thank you. I cannot tell you how much that means to me. I promise to try my very best during my free time to return the favor and be one of the many reassuring forces within this community that reminds you that you are amazing and your work is appreciated. I along with so many others are cheering you on! It’s Okay To Question: You do not have to believe everything you read in books or take anything someone tells you, be it advice or information as pure fact. It is perfectly okay to have your own beliefs and to question the things you read or are told. You are free to change your mind or not agree with something if it doesn’t feel right. Your Worth: You are important. It doesn’t matter if you only have ten followers on Tumblr, only make one sale in your shop every month or have five subscribers on YouTube. Your worth as a tarot reader or diviner is not based on those numbers. Similarly, there are going to be people out there that are going to try and bring you down because you are just being you, because you don’t do things the way they do, because they disagree with your practices or they just don’t like you for reasons you may never know. Do not allow others to remove your joy of Tarot and divination. Do not allow mean people to try and diminish your worth and stop you from being the best reader you can possibly be. You Are Not Alone: To the many of you who are forced to hide their divination tools from family or friends, the people who feel conflicted about using divination because of their upbringing or previous/current religious beliefs, to those who hide their decks in shoe boxes under their bed, and those who can only be readers on the internet because they can’t be open about it in their everyday life, It is okay. You are loved. I and so many people are here for you. You are no less of a diviner or Tarot reader. I am so happy to have a safe and welcoming space online to nerd out with Tarot. With your consent, I wish you all the very best. Thank you for being part of my journey, thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey and thank you for reading this incredibly long post.
