I've been fascinated recently to explore Tarot as a way of understanding oneself - not so much a crystal ball as a mirror. If the cards symbolise both everyday life and the universal human journey towards maturity and enlightenment, then seeing how one reacts to the cards that are drawn once one understands the symbolism involved is, I think, quite possibly a good way to get some insight into one's own feelings..

Yep, that's the cool thing about Tarot. All the "occult powers" you need to determine your future are inside your own mind ... which makes them even more awesome really.

I used to do I Ching readings when I was worried about which direction I was going in, and I found that helped. The main problem I find with the Tarot is that my reaction to the cards can depend so much on the designs of the cards; there isn't so much of that kind of distraction with the I Ching. Must dig out the book and remind myself how it all works. There's a nifty way of doing it with coins rather than all that palaver with yarrow stalks, too.

That's what I like so much about the Vertigo tarot cards I've got; they're very abstract and figurative so they don't impose too much on my mind, and they're also taken from a 'mythology' I relate to, so I find them a good fit to my personality :)
