I have read Tarot de Marseille since 1986 and have found its symbolic language a sound way to understand life circumstances and chose paths to work on them. Three generations of spiritually aware individuals influenced my reading even if I am the first of my lineage that picked up a deck to interpret. I learned with them that HOPE does not abandon us, rather than we abandon it at the first sign of challenge. A lot of life defeats happen that way, so I chose my reading to be a signaling post for HOPE where I might find it in what the consultant is sharing with me.
