Tarot as a Spiritual Mirror

Welcome to our exploration of Tarot, not as a tool for fortune-telling, but as a profound spiritual mirror. When viewed through the lens of A Course in Miracles (ACIM), Tarot cards transform from a predictive system into a powerful method for self-reflection, forgiveness, and healing. They reflect the current state of your mind, showing you where you have chosen fear and where you can choose love instead.

What is Spiritual Tarot?

Traditional Tarot is often used to predict future events. Spiritual Tarot, as we practice it here, has a different purpose. It helps you understand the present moment. Each card represents a universal archetype or a life situation that resonates with your own inner landscape. It doesn't tell you what will happen, but rather reveals the thoughts and beliefs you hold right now that are creating your experience.

ACIM teaches that the world we see is a projection of our inner state. The Tarot, in this context, becomes a deck of flashcards for the mind, helping us to see those projections more clearly.

How Tarot and ACIM Work Together

• Revealing Illusions: ACIM explains that our suffering comes from believing in illusions (like separation, guilt, and fear). Tarot cards can visually represent these illusions, making them easier to recognize in our own lives.
• Practicing Forgiveness: When a card reflects a challenging thought pattern or situation, it becomes an opportunity to apply ACIM's forgiveness—seeing past the illusion to the underlying truth of innocence and love.
• Choosing Again: Both ACIM and Spiritual Tarot emphasize the power of the mind to choose its perception. The cards can highlight a moment where we can choose peace instead of conflict, love instead of fear.
• Connecting with Inner Guidance: The ultimate goal is to bypass the ego's noisy chatter and listen to our inner wisdom (the Holy Spirit or True Self). Tarot can act as a prompt, helping us to quiet the mind and become receptive to this guidance.

Our Approach: Tarot of the NOW

On this site, we use a unique, AI-generated Tarot deck called the "Tarot of the NOW." Each card is designed to resonate with ACIM principles and modern life. We focus on:

• Present Moment Awareness: What does this card show you about this moment?
• Mindful Reflection: What thoughts, feelings, or beliefs does this card bring to light?
• Opportunity for Healing: How can you apply forgiveness or choose a more loving perception in response to what the card reflects?
