Tarot reading is the practice of divining wisdom and guidance through a specific spread or layout of cards. The cards are there to provide insight into the innermost truths of your higher self. Tarot readings help a person understand what he or she needs to know about a particular situation, and are a tool to help facilitate talking about what is needing to be either lifted or delved into. The cards provide an evolved awareness of what you already know within, but may not have had the tools to access yourself.
