Five Reasons why Tarot Journaling is a fantastic thing to integrate into your practice

Writing itself is therapeutic: Regardless of the mood you are in, using writing in unity with the physical act of shuffling and drawing from the cards is a fantastic way to combine the physical and the mental together for a holistic and therapeutic approach. Rather than keep it all in your head, you get those thoughts down onto paper and can better work with them. Especially when there is a lot of information to digest or you are looking for the connections.

It promotes Connection to the Subconscious: By keeping a regular journal or coming back to a regular space to work with you are training your brain to associate the Tarot with connecting to yourself and your subconscious mind, as a correspondence you could also use this alongside dream interpretation too, as they work of the same principle of using symbols, and Archetypal motifs that are universal and readily available to tap into.
