The tarot is most often thought of as a divination tool used for readings about one's life - past, present or future. However, the original intent of the tarot was to evoke spiritual growth within us, and the accompanying intuitive development was considered merely a valuable byproduct!

Use the tarot to get in touch with your own inner wisdom. On March 4, Dee Jackson Shell will explore the tarot as a tool for spiritual growth in your inner life. The first card in the deck, the Fool is our first guide through the tarot. Follow the Fool on his journey through the major arcana. Each stop on his journey represents a real experience in our own life that we must master as we grow.

Many of us are working on finding or getting in touch with our own inner wisdom or intuition. The tarot provides a valuable tool for doing just that. Once cloaked in mystery as something 'occult' or 'magical', the tarot has become a modern tool for accessing the inner high self. During this talk we will look at many fascinating tarot images designed to evoke an inner response.

Dee will explore both the history of the tarot and its use in modern spiritual work. Along those lines, we will consider the traditional uses of the tarot for divination and spiritual teaching. We will focus on the modern uses of the tarot as a tool for spiritual growth and as a mirror for our inner life. Join us as we take a spiritual journey of awakening through tarot.

Dee Jackson Shell has walked the path of psychologically grounded spiritual growth for over 20 years. She has studied both Eastern and Western spiritual traditions and works to combine them in a middle path. She is currently exploring two important spiritual topics put forth by the Planetary guides for our development at this time in our awakening. The first is the deepest roots of western spirituality, which can be found in the Egyptian tradition of religion and magic. The second is the revelation of the hidden role of Mary Magdelene in the inner mysteries of Jesus' teachings and their secret influences.

Her counseling work is supported by the palpable presence of her guides. Dee brings the gift of inspired, insightful and practical guidance. She has an established counseling and teaching practice in the Raleigh area that includes astrology, tarot, Reiki and more. She can be reached at 919-250-9948.
