Guest guest Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 tarot journaling exercise Journal Exercise I find this to be a fun, meditative exercise to do with the Major Arcana archetypes. Explore the questions that I've posed from the perspective of each card and write down the feelings and thoughts that may surface. I have done this contemplative exercise during 'transitional' stages in my life and have gotten surprisingly different results. The Fool/Dreamer Remember a time when you felt careless and free? When you followed a hunch and trusted that it would work out just fine. What happened? The Magician What skills are you learning to develop? What talents do you already have at your disposal? Sorceress/High Priestess What is the biggest secret you keep from yourself? Empress In what ways do you feel you make the world a better, more livable place? How do you nurture yourself? Emperor What is your greatest achievement? What are you most proud of? Hierophant/Sage Who do you look up to and why? What has been your greatest truth - your 'motto'? The Lovers Think back to a time when you had to make a choice between love and your own needs and goals. Do you feel you made the right decision? The Chariot/Challenge Recall a time when you were courageous and overcame your fears. What was that like? Justice What is the most difficult injustice you face in your own life? What is the greatest injustice you perceive in the world around you? Do you think you have any power to change this and if so, how? And if not, why not? The Hermit How often do you make time just for yourself? What do you do with this space and time? The Wheel/Karma Recall a time when you were faced with your own prejudice. Did this awareness alter your views? Strength Remember a time when you put your own needs, wants, even ego aside to look compassionately upon another and protected them or defended their honor. Hanged Man/Reflection Think of a time when you knew you were right, but then someone's view turned yours upside down. Death When was the last time you felt rejuvenated by the possibilities life has to offer? Is there something key in your life that you are letting go of...what is this experience like? Temperance/Alchemy What aspect of your life seems effortless, flowing? The Devil What are your dreams and secret desires? What is holding you back from living them out? The Tower What is the most devastating tragedy you have lived through? How did you overcome this loss? The Star What are you optimistic about? What is the one dream that you will never part from? The Moon What cycles of change do you feel you move through over and over again in your life? When are you most receptive to change? What part of yourself do you keep hidden from everyone else? The Sun Recall a time when you felt completely happy and comfortable with who you are. Judgment/Liberation How have you changed your view about the meaning of life over time? What mistakes in your life have you still not forgiving yourself for? The World Think of a time when you felt the awareness of a connection to all living beings. Are you feeling that now? I found this at a site by arnell ando i thought this would be helpful for those into tarot.
