Complete Book of Tarot: How can tarot help in this process? Because the cards depict archetypal images universal to the human condition, you can use your daily draw as a starting point for self-examination and reflection in your journal. For example, a card may bring to mind memories that you would like to explore further. The images on a card might remind you of a relationship you’d like to understand more deeply. If you have suffered emotional trauma (and who hasn’t at some point in their life?), the research of psychologist James Pennebaker suggests that journaling just twenty minutes a day for a few days can have a remarkably healing effect. This healing appears to be the result of exploring without inhibition, and in a safe environment, your deepest feelings about the emotional upheaval. 15

Complete Book of Tarot: The silk cloth myth: always wrap your cards in silk cloth and store them in an oak box with crystals like quartz or amethyst.

Complete Book of Tarot: Author Rami M. Sharpiro, who recounts such Hasidic tales, explains: ‘Humans are storytelling animals … Our stories define us, instruct us, create us. Without our stories we do not exist … [f]or us our story is our self … [a]nd the story you tell determines the meaning you derive from the events of your life.’ 24 The tarot too is a storytelling ritual that allows us to retell and even change our stories in ways that can heal us. Jane Stern’s book Confessions of a Tarot Reader illustrates this storytelling approach; she tells real-life tales of a number of her tarot clients to illustrate the archetypal meanings of each of the cards of the major arcana.
