Tarot by Christiana Newsletter Wednesday, April 10th, 2013 View the newsletter online at http://tarottopics.com/content/tarot-christiana-weekly-newsletter-4102013 Inspiration! How often we feel uninspired in our lives and in our endeavors! Sometimes we are so busy, tired and stressed we can only go through the motions of living life, with very little room for joy, creativity or inspiration. Inspiration can mean different things to different people. To the scientist inspiration can be an idea that leads to a unique discovery. To the artist inspiration can lead to the creation of a masterpiece. In spirituality to be inspired is to feel called by a Higher Power. The ancient Greeks would begin their songs, poems and stories with a prayer for inspiration, as supplication to the gods or as an invocation to the muse. The acts of prayer, meditation, manifestation and divination can offer us inspiration. Whether that inspiration is simply the strength to get through the day, the push to creativity or a call to greatness, inspiration is something we all need. April Global Tarot Circle Recap Global Tarot Circle meets once a month online. In April we met on Monday the 8th. We had folks from all over the United States, including Florida, Maine, Kentucky, Connecticut and California. As usual, some of our participants were professional readers, others were tarot beginners and others were somewhere in-between. One of the goals of Tarot Circle is to gather tarot enthusiasts of all levels of experience together for the purpose of learning from each other. One of the participants had a question about Court Cards, so we spent some time talking about ways of interpreting the Pages, Knights, Queens and Kings. We always like to read for each other at Tarot Circle. This time we did one -card readings for each other with no questions. The thing is, whenever no question is asked of the cards there is always an inherent question, which is this. "What does this person most need to know right now?" Each experienced reader had the opportunity to do a reading. Each person who received a reading seemed to find it helpful and relevant. In honor of April Fool's Day we had a conversation about the tarot Fool. We talked about the spiritual lessons of the Fool, as well as possible interpretations. The big question was whether or not the Fool card can indicate inappropriate risks, or serve as a warning. We decided that in some situations it could, depending on the context of the question and the surrounding cards.
