There’s something so magical about starting your day with a touch of tarot—a practice that can ground you, guide you, and sprinkle a bit of wisdom over your day. After waking up, sipping your favourite morning drink, and pulling a card that whispers a secret about your journey ahead. Tarot isn’t about predicting the future—it’s about tuning into your inner wisdom, sparking insight, and aligning with the energies that surround you.
If you're curious about how to start your own daily tarot ritual or you're looking to deepen an existing practice, I’ve got you covered with some tips and inspiration!
Creating a Simple Tarot Ritual - The Daily Card Practice
Here’s how you can begin a lovely, intuitive ritual:
Start by Clearing Your Space and Mind: Before you pull your card, create a calm moment for yourself. Light a candle, take a deep breath, or maybe play some soft music. Let the stresses of life melt away. This is your sacred time.
Set Your Intention: Ask yourself what you need to know or focus on today. Your question can be specific, like “How can I overcome challenges at work today?” or general, such as “What energy will guide me?” If you’re feeling spontaneous, you can skip the question and simply ask, “What do I need to know today?”
Shuffle and Pull: Shuffle your deck with your intention in mind. Let the cards mix and mingle with your energy. When it feels right, draw one card. Trust your intuition—sometimes a card will “jump” out or feel like it’s calling to you. This is your message.
Reflect and Journal: After pulling your card, take a moment to reflect. What feelings or thoughts does the card spark in you? How does its imagery or meaning relate to your day ahead? Write your reflections in a tarot journal. Over time, you’ll begin to notice patterns and personal insights that will deepen your practice.
Fun Elements to Enhance Your Practice:
- Create a Daily Ritual Space: Dedicate a small spot in your home for your tarot practice. Add crystals, candles, or little tokens that inspire you. The energy of this space can become your sacred go-to for self-reflection.
- Use Tarot Apps or Digital Decks: If you’re on the go or don't have your physical deck, there are fabulous tarot apps that offer virtual daily pulls. Moonly is my favourite.
- Mix It Up with Oracle Cards: Oracle cards are a free-flowing alternative for intuitive messages. You can combine both tarot and oracle readings for a unique practice.
Tips to Make Your Practice More Powerful
- Pull Your Card in the Morning: Let your card guide your day right from the start. Reflect on it throughout the day and notice how its message comes to life in real time.
- Keep a Tarot Journal: Tracking your daily pulls will help you see trends in your journey. This can be incredibly empowering over time—you’ll start to notice which cards show up again and again and how they relate to your personal growth.
- Meditate on Your Card: Spend a few minutes meditating on the card’s imagery. Close your eyes and visualise stepping into the card itself. How does it make you feel? What lessons or symbols are speaking to you?
