Summary
Have you ever pulled a Major Arcana card and noticed its message playing out in your life for days—or even weeks—after?
Here's why…
Each of the 22 Major Arcana archetypes highlight major themes that occur throughout our lives.
When we tap into those themes, we start seeing how they show up for us in reality… which helps us see ourselves more clearly.
And when we're able to feel seen and witnessed through the lessons of the cards, we can then take action to make positive change.
Healer and Tarot practitioner Chelsey May Orsmond has built a thriving business around helping people transform their lives through Tarot in this way.
In our conversation together, Chelsey shares with me how she harnesses the Major Arcana as a potent tool for personal growth and development.
Tune in for:
- 06:19 How Tarot is generally perceived in South Africa
- 14:18 Why there is no such thing as "good" or "bad" Tarot archetypes
- 19:57 How to meaningfully connect with Tarot archetypes in everyday life
- 23:04 The #1 Tarot archetype that is showing up for Chelsey right now
- 28:45 How Chelsey integrates archetype work with other modalities
- 32:36 How your archetypal strengths can actually hinder your progress in life
