The Wisdom We Keep

Woman meditating on a wall under a tree

If I had a dollar for every time I have quoted wisdom I learned from my mother I would be a wealthy woman. Mom had a knack for memorizing wise idioms long before there was an internet filled with thought-provoking memes. She also had the intuition to know exactly when to share a bit of truth.

I am guessing I am not the only one to have had such a mom. My Grandmother was also a source of great ideas to consider and remember, so I suppose the gift of sharing wisdom may have run in my family.

Now, I am always on the lookout for morsels of truth poetically packaged to share with loved ones, friends, and clients.

Sometimes the best wisdom we receive comes from our higher self, or even from strangers. We read books and scroll TikTok; sometimes something sticks with us and becomes extremely helpful later on.

It is also true that we absorb unhelp narratives from others. We should never confuse outdated cultural perspectives and limiting beliefs with actual wisdom.

We must carefully consider the way we curate our internal wisdom. Some ideas are worth keeping and sharing. Some are fears that pose as truth. It takes patience and nuanced thinking to know what to keep, and what to release.

Wisdom From the Cards and Spirit

I know I am not the only one who misses being able to get wisdom and comfort from my loved ones now in spirit.

Tarot is a source of wisdom. Tarot is also a conduit to help us connect with those in spirit.

Try this experiment.

Ask the cards, “What wisdom do you have for me?”

Pull a single card and interpret it as wisdom from the universe.

Now, focus on a loved one in spirit. You might want to have a picture of them, or some of their jewelry or belongings present with the cards.

Ask that person to speak through the cards and share some wisdom with you and pull a card.

Think about how those two wisdom-seeking tarot experiences the same, and how they are different.

We can also use tarot and spirit to help us sort out our beliefs. Some of our beliefs are enduring wisdom. Others could be limited and false. We can ask the cards, or ask spirit to speak through the cards, and ask a question such as the following.

“How does this belief of mine affect my life?”

We can assume that helpful beliefs will affect our lives in positive ways, and unhelpful beliefs will hinder us. Tarot, and spirit speaking through tarot, can help us know which is which.

The Week in Review

Did you catch me on the Real Time Wisdom Show this past Monday? We talked about tarot and StaarCon and all sorts of great stuff. Check out the replay!

Your Tarot Fairy Godmother is at it again. I have started a new series on my YouTube channel. I am making short, prerecorded ‘rants.’ There are a lot of things people say and do in the tarot community, and in the metaphysical community, that just do not make sense to me. Are you interested in find out what has me ranting? Check out the new playlist.

From Around the Web

The greatest wisdom my grandmother gave me was the prose poem, Desiderata. She loved this poem so much that she had copies of it to give away to anyone she thought might need it.

One piece of wisdom I remember from my mother was a quote about time she always hanging on our kitchen wall.

Here are 19 Wise Quotes for a Better Life.

Guidance on the Journey

I sometimes think about tarot in the same way I think about my mother and my grandmother, as being a source of much-needed wisdom.

So often when we study tarot, we think only about what the cards might mean in divination. Yet, each card offers wisdom that we can remember and call upon when we need perspective, cheer, and encouragement.

As you continue to learn your tarot deck, learn the cards not only for their divinatory meanings and their associations. Learn the wisdom each card has to offer. Let that wisdom be your guide every day.
