Taproute Tarot

Hey, I'm Ina (EYE-nuh) and I'm a mom who loves plants, animals, and nature. I enjoy studying the Tarot and always strive to become a more skilled reader.

This channel is an exploration of Tarot through Marseille and other historical and continental-tradition decks, for depth of practice and growth in reading skills.

I am especially interested in the pre-esoteric history of tarot and cartomancy. I also delve into the work of the early occultists to shed light on our modern understanding of tarot. I would say I take a "practical magic" approach to the cards.

The magic is in your mind. The magic is real, but it's not in the cards. It's in your mind. 
     --Vincent Pitisci

Without these intuitive leaps, we would be stuck in an analytical labyrinth, waiting for the rational path out. Intuition is the thread (or in many cases a rope ladder or pogo stick) that can lead us out of this labyrinth.
