Matthew's Journal

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.
