I started my tarot journey in university because I was curious to learn about this new world. I felt something calling to me to learn the art of tarot and to help people with it. I never knew what people meant when they said something is meant for you, until I picked up my first tarot deck. After that, I did everything I could to hone my skills and share my gifts with the world.
Learning tarot also helped me open myself up back to Hinduism (I was born into a Hindu family but did not practice it for a while), but more of the spiritual side than mythological because I was able to understand it in my own way. I was able to find ways to connect and to learn anything by opening my heart, mind, and soul to tarot. It truly became a spiritual gateway for me.
When my great-aunt passed away, she came to me during a tarot session the night of her last rites because I felt she had a message for me and I was on the other side of the world when my family was cremating her. She and I shared this wanderlust, so I knew she wanted me to be away for that part. Her name was Bhanu Moon (Bhanu means "sun" in Sanskrit), and the moon was bright and almost full but there that night when she came to me and only for that moment. She told me it was time to start my spiritual journey, and from that moment I knew I had to share my gift of reading tarot with the world. I had a lot more to learn, but I knew she would be there right beside me. When she left (I could no longer see her), the moon was in a different part of the sky. I do this for myself, for others, and to honour her.
