DIVINATION & SYMBOLIC STUDIES / LESSON 8

Your Tarot Reflection Portfolio

Put observation, comparison and ethical practice into a complete study record.

Create an evidence-aware record

Select five different tarot cards. For each, describe observable imagery, identify themes from one named guide or source, and write your own reflective question. Mark clearly which statements come from the source and which are your interpretations.

Include at least one card from the Major Arcana and one from each of the four suits. Avoid copying lengthy passages or reproducing copyrighted artwork without permission.

Ethical presentation

If presenting a spread to a friend, explain that this is a symbolic reflective exercise. Ask whether they want to participate; do not press them for personal information or claim access to hidden facts.

Conclude with a short reflection on how your understanding changed during the course and which parts of tarot history deserve more research.

YOUR STUDY PRACTICE

Put it into perspective

Prepare a five-card study portfolio and a 200-word ethical explanation of how you would introduce tarot to a novice.
