It’s important to decolonize our spiritual practices. We cannot do this if we’re constantly drinking the mainstream spirituality koolaid. Tarot started, historically, from a 14th century card game in Italy. It wasn’t what it is today. That goes for a lot of spiritual practices. Some of our ancestors used the Bible for divination and hid their traditional practices in Christianity. Others were forbidden, even today, to practice their cultural beliefs, yet their tools are sold in stores to the masses (white sage). Doing this work will connect you in a much more meaningful way and help you know yourself and trust your own messages. A lot of people watch the tarot, wear the crystals, and light the sage with no idea or care of why they do it or how the practice started. There is no respect given to the cultural practices they belong to and in some cases were stolen from. Divination is sacred. It’s a conversation between your soul and its divine source for personal growth & guidance. It should be treated as such.
