Julia Gordon-Bramer shares her deep understanding of the Tarot, explaining its origins, evolution, and how it has become a powerful tool for personal growth and spiritual insight.

The Tarot, as Julia explains, is not just a deck of cards but a mirror to the soul, reflecting our inner world and the external forces that shape our lives. "The magic of the Tarot," Julia says, "is how the right cards fall at the right time with these specific questions." She emphasizes that Tarot shows you the path you are on and offers the opportunity to change direction if you don't like what you see ahead.Throughout the conversation, Julia dives into the rich history of Tarot, tracing its roots back to the Renaissance and beyond. While some view Tarot as a mystical or even forbidden practice, Julia demystifies it, showing how it is deeply connected to various spiritual traditions, including the Kabbalah and ancient numerology.

She also touches on the misconceptions people have about Tarot, particularly the unfounded fear that it is somehow connected to dark forces. "I am totally not satanic," she laughs, dismissing the myths with her down-to-earth wisdom.Julia's approach to Tarot is both practical and spiritual. She believes that everyone has some degree of psychic ability, a "gut feeling" or intuition that can be developed with practice. For her, the Tarot is a tool that helps to unlock this intuition, offering guidance and clarity in a world that often feels chaotic and uncertain. "Tarot tells the story of the human experience," Julia explains, "and reflects where we’re going, our ideas, our hopes, and our dreams."
