Your Chosen Card – The Familiar Upright Salem Deck
When upright, the World card highlights an important goal or destination in your life. You may be approaching the completion of a significant ambition or perhaps you are about to embark on a journey to achieve a cherished desire. In any case, you are dealing with a major stage in your development, and you will need all the resources at your disposal to bring matters to a successful conclusion. Just as Saturn, the last planet visible to the naked eye, marks the outermost visible boundary of the solar system, the World trump marks the end of the Fools journey toward enlightenment. Arriving at this card is a sign of completion, enlightenment, and success. You are returning to the Garden of Eden.
Keywords Upright: Culmination, wholeness, completion, the end of the road, ‘X marks the spot,’ a successful outcome, fulfillment, reward, promotion, opportunity, a clearly defined goal, a trip, ones destiny, going for the gold, reaching ones destination, knowing your limits, paradise regained, a journey to a desired location, return to the Source.

Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: Proselytizing during readings. We live in a diverse society. Those who seek guidance from the cards come from a variety of religious, cultural, and philosophical backgrounds. Tarot readers should not try to impose their own belief systems on their clients. It is imperative to show respect for people even if you dont share their worldview. The tarot can shine light on the querents issues and concerns, but the cards do not tell the querent what to believe or what to do. Stick to saying what you see in the cards and insist that querents make their own decisions and live their own lives.
