Tarot imagery is like a dreamscape.
Every symbol, figure, posture, animal, color, or se ng has a
psychic frequency. Your intui on speaks this symbolic language naturally—this is where your inner
Oracle awakens.
WHY SYMBOLISM MATTERS
Tarot is a visual system. The pictures aren’t decora ons—they are messages.
Symbols bypass the logical mind and speak to the unconscious.
Your response to a symbol is highly personal, yet connected to universal archetypes.
Symbols reveal what’s beneath the surface of a situa on.
