A Gentle Re-entry
Welcome back to Tarot Elements. Or perhaps, welcome to a new chapter. Instead of trying to shape this space into something ‘it should be,’ I’m embracing the idea of it as a more organic log – a place to share my ongoing explorations in tarot, spirituality, and the ever-evolving landscape of my own inner world.
For a long time, I think I felt this pressure to have it all figured out, to present a polished version of my thoughts. But honestly? That just doesn’t resonate anymore. What feels more authentic now is simply sharing the journey – the questions, the discoveries, the moments of ‘aha!’ – as they happen. This shift in perspective is partly influenced by some recent self-discoveries that have offered me a fresh way of seeing things, including my lifelong relationship with the Tarot.
The Evolving Landscape of Tarot
So, what does this ‘organic log’ look like? Well, expect less of the definitive ‘this is how it is’ and more of the ‘this is what I’m pondering right now.’ Tarot will still be a central thread, as it’s a language I find endlessly fascinating.
But my relationship with the cards is evolving. In addition to prediction, I’m enjoying exploration – using the archetypes as a springboard for self-reflection and understanding the nuances of life. And lately, those nuances are being viewed through some interesting new filters, shaped by a deeper understanding of how my own neurodivergence, particularly my late diagnosed ADHD, influences my perceptions. It’s like seeing familiar cards in a completely new light, uncovering layers of meaning I hadn’t noticed before.
Venturing Beyond the Cards
Beyond the Tarot, my curiosity is pulling me in various spiritual directions. I still find myself drawn to the wisdom of Buddhism, the rich tapestry of Hindu mythology, the intricate framework of Kabbalah, and the ancient practices of shamanism – to name just a few. How these different paths intersect and inform my understanding of the Tarot, and indeed, life itself, is something I’m eager to explore and share here.
This also means letting go of the need for everything to be perfectly formed before it sees the light of day. I’ve spent too long wrestling with perfectionism, and honestly, the idea of simply sharing the process – the messy bits and the breakthroughs – feels much more liberating. My focus has shifted inward, towards my own growth and understanding, rather than any sense of competition or external validation.
A Note on Rhythm and Expectations
So, with this more fluid approach in mind, what can you expect in terms of updates? Well, the honest answer is that I’m not aiming for a strict schedule. Life, especially when navigating things like chronic health conditions and the wonderfully unpredictable nature of a neurodivergent brain, doesn’t always lend itself to rigid timelines.
My intention is to write when I have something meaningful to share, when an idea sparks or an exploration feels ready to be put into words. I’m also quietly optimistic that this more organic approach might actually help me make progress on the numerous writing projects that currently exist in various states of completion – maybe even finish 10% of them! Think of it less as scheduled programming and more as occasional dispatches from my inner landscape.
If you’re interested in the journey, I’ll be happy to have you along for the ride, whenever those dispatches arrive.
Let’s Reconnect: Comments and News
So, welcome (back) to Tarot Elements. I’m genuinely looking forward to sharing these explorations with you as they unfold.
And speaking of connection, I’m really excited to be bringing back the comments section! I’ve missed the kind of conversations and insights that used to blossom there – a space to interact directly, clarify questions, and learn from the diverse perspectives of fellow readers. I’ve always valued the way the comments section could become an extension of the post itself, enriching the original ideas.
Since you won’t find me actively promoting posts on social media, this space for comments will be all the more important for our interactions. So, please do share your thoughts, reflections, and any connections that resonate with you in the comments below – on this post and any that follow.
And if you want to be among the first to know when new dispatches from my inner world arrive, including any news about those elusive writing projects reaching completion, be sure to sign up for the newsletter. After all, they heard about my return here first! I’m looking forward to connecting with you in this space.
