Heal– there are experiences in your past that can do harm in your present because you have bound them to you by holding on to the emotions and beliefs they have fostered. These bonds are the foundation of all that limits and restricts you in the present, and prevents you from moving forward with confidence and trust. Awareness will help you heal and let go. I think this section can be used as you see fit. There is some really good stuff to be found under this heading that might be missed if you ignore this section because you don’t read reversals. As you may have guessed, I don’t read with them. If you do I respect that and I would encourage everyone to read however works for you. That should be a given. The Stages Of Life – These cards represent the different stages that we move through as we live our lives. Every stage of life from birth to death is represented here and they relate to things we have lived or things that have influenced how we live. This life is your journey of undoing, being, and becoming. Choose your path with the knowledge that all that manifests in your present is born of choices made in the past, and all that manifests in your future, is born of choices made in the present. In this way, you will create a present, and future, in harmony with your dreams and heart’s desire.

By offering structure in the form of a major and minor arcana like that of past tarots, but combining them with bold new archetypes, symbology, and meanings more suited to the present, the Dreams of Gaia Tarot allows for a more personal, intimate, and effective system for using cards as a roadmap to navigate your life path. Embark on this extraordinary journey of undoing, of being, and becoming, and be inspired by the knowledge that all that manifests in your future is born of choices you make today.The Major Arcana cards offer a glimpse into the subconscious mind, and can be used to read for general qualities such as intuition, creativity, and imagination. Grow – you are in a constant, cyclic state of growth and change. Growth and evolution are both inevitable and unavoidable, yet so many fear them, despite the fact that life itself is both a transformative and transmutative process. The tarot will help you to recognize and respond when a time of growth and change approaches, and to face it with increased confidence. You are here to live and experience life; to fear less and meet your fullest potential. As you can see, it makes for an interesting approach and one that becomes easier to understand once you see the groupings. The Dreams of Gaia Tarot has been created to help the Seeker connect with their higher self as well as locate and begin the process of integration and healing past experiences which may be preventing one from achieving their fullest potential. It is guided by four principles – To Seek, To Feel, To Grow, To Heal. The major arcana is divided into four sub-sections: The choice card, eight cards representing the stages of life, eight cards representing the reasons for being(what we are here to achieve and why we are here), and eight cards representing influence(things that affect and impact the way that we make choices.)

It can also indicate conflicts or Conclusion These are archetypes that we all are in some way, whether we are male, female or gender-neutral. They are aspects of our nature that we possess or have moved through or are influenced by. Each card is a delight in itself, with sensual images and vibrant colours. For example, card XXII, Intuition, depicts a cloaked woman sitting on a golden throne. In her right hand, she cups a sphere. Inside the sphere is the cosmos. Sitting atop the sphere is an owl. In the foreground, there is a spider’s web which contains a spider and a full moon. This is the card of the unconscious mind and intuitive skills and feelings.

What are the Dreams about?

For example, if you are looking to gain insight into your creative side, you might choose the Temperance card in the Major Arcana. This card suggests slowing down and taking time for yourself – something that can be difficult to do when we’re constantly bombarded with demands from the outside world.
