Tarot and the Other Side of the Veil

Christiana Gaudet

Tarot is a wonderful tool for communication. Tarot can facilitate communication between the conscious and the subconscious, between self and higher self, and between friends, families, coworkers and lovers. Tarot can even be used to reach beyond the veil that separates the world of the living from the spirit world.

You don't need to be an experienced medium to communicate with a loved one in spirit. Tarot can be an effective tool for checking in with your dearly departed, and with the dearly departed of your clients.

Obviously, dealing with the spirit world is a serious matter; more serious than the tarot reading about whether or not he likes you and whether or not he is going to call you.

If you are going to undertake such a reading for another person, you want to make sure you have the confidence to do it. This type of reading requires a great deal of finesse because of the emotions involved. You must execute the reading with compassion to make sure it will be a healing and helpful experience.

You can use this technique for yourself, letting the cards facilitate conversations with your departed loved ones, angels and spirit guides.

Whenever you use the cards, and whenever you invoke those in spirit, you want to make sure you are in protected sacred space. When you are doing both at once this is doubly true.
