Tarot for Change
Tarot for Change: Using the Cards for Self-Care, Acceptance, and Growth | Jessica Dore
4 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
In Tarot for Change, Jessica Dore divulges years of hard-won secrets about how to work with tarot to better understand ourselves and live in alignment with what s precious. Dore shows readers how to choose a deck, interpret images, and build a relationship with the cards, while also demonstrating how the mythic imagery of tarot supports evidence-based therapeutic concepts like mindfulness, acceptance, and compassion. Her reflections on the seventy-eight cards are a vibrant tapestry that weaves together psychology, behavioural science, spirituality, and old stories.

Perhaps the way our minds process the world—as something divided, parceled off, and split up—is a projection of our own internal partitions, things accepted and things exiled.

Keepers of old secrets will tell you that the solutions in a crisis always emerge from the edges, not the center. It's never the king who saves the day. Or the knight with all the privilege and grooming. It's the absolute fool who comes riding in on a donkey with the ill-fitting armor, the poor man who fibbed his way into the royal party, the youngest daughter that no one would dare put their ducats on.

4.5/5⭐ Dore, a social worker with therapy training, reflects on each of the tarot cards through a particular angle, some of which are close to the traditional card meanings, some of which are less common but still related. Her unique lens and psychological explanations, while sometimes hyper-focused on a narrow topic, make the text feel very accessible. ⬇

hissingpotatoes I found her analyses incredibly useful for self-reflection and engagement with tarot on a deeper level. This book could be used as a source of journaling topics even separate from tarot. 1y

5am impulse buy on the Kobo store… I‘m not into esoteric stuff on a serious level but love tarot artwork and archetypes and how that connects with storytelling. This has some psychology mixed into it and I thought it would be my bag after reading a Guardian interview with the author. I‘ve only read a few chapters but think it‘s filled with vague and deep-sounding psychobabble and not really up my alley but not gonna pan it just yet. Scuse the dirt

Taylor Your reviews are so good 2y
spinedestroyer Thank you that‘s really kind! 2y
