WHAT IS DIVAGATING?
Divagating means to wander around somewhere and often refers to straying off the subject under discussion. This happens frequently to me when I consult the Tarot. A variety of possibilities present themselves, and one thought can lead to another, often resulting in a search for other associated information.
WHAT IS THE TAROT?
Usually illustrated with symbolism and archetypes to create meanings, Tarot decks include seventy-eight cards. Originally used for playing games, Tarot cards are now more commonly used for divination, meditation, and for reflection purposes. For many individuals the information embedded in these cards leads to spiritual transformation and personal growth towards a sense of greater wholeness.
Studying the Tarot is an intriguing undertaking. Absorbing the information contained in the cards for the pure satisfaction of expanding personal knowledge is gratifying. Reflecting upon the information in a Major Arcana message is rewarding while using the cards to answer questions is both pleasurable and insightful. I am truly amazed at how the cards activate new understanding about situations. Reading the Tarot is thought provoking, inspiring and continually enlightening.
