Tarot supports connections with the Wild Woman Within

Many of the women I teach Tarot doubt whether they are "truly psychic" or not. This uncertain position is one reason why women hold back when exploring Tarot. A woman's creative power, which is integral to Tarot, is often blocked by those around her, even suppressed to the point that she never has "enough time" for herself. From an inward perspective, this self-sacrifice is particularly harmful because a woman may neglect or sabotage her own inner lifework (Estes, 1995). Awareness of the power women have established and maintained through cartomancy can help raise awareness of the validity of such an endeavor.

Tarot is a tool of synchronicity with great potential to connect women with the Wild Woman and the circle of feminine archetypes. Its effectiveness can be attributed to many factors, such as the interplay of history, symbolism, and craft, as well as intuition, psychic abilities, and magic.
