Hello there Tarot Enthusiasts!  

Let's talk about keeping a tarot journal!

First of all, every single tarot journal will probably look different.  Even if you were to purchase my premade journal to print out, you'd probably have different sets of the pages than everyone else.  You'd also probably decorate it differently (if at all).  And you're info would definitely be different than anyone else's, too.

Why?  

Because the tarot is different for every single person.  

Every single card meaning will be of your own creation, and depending on the day, the cards themselves will have different meanings for you at different times.  So rather than using your journal as an in depth study of the cards (which is *NOT* needed), I prefer to teach others that their journals should be about honoring the cards and the decks we love.  I see tarot journals as a fun place to explore thoughts and ideas, with no strict "how-to" or "what-for".  Not that your journal will be a mess (unless you like messy!), but more so it will be an exploration of how much fun and interactive tarot can be!
