Gaining in popularity, Daisy Waugh reports on the resurgence of tarot cards – and why she became a professional tarot reader.
Tarot readings have become fashionable. As a professional tarot reader, I can tell this by the sheer number of requests for readings I get these days. Six years ago, when I first discovered my love for the cards and began on the long journey of learning how to read them, I’d never have imagined how much attitudes would change.
Back then, I took a one-day course with the intention of writing about the tarot as a journalist. It was meant to be a bit of a laugh. But after that single day, I found I was hooked – captured by the beauty and structure of the cards and their uncanny wisdom. I could think and talk of nothing else. Friends thought I was losing my marbles and didn’t hesitate to tell me so.
Not so, any more. Now, they ask for readings. Now, I am invited to read the tarot at fat-cat corporate lunches! It’s wonderful for my bank balance (I won’t lie). More than that though, it’s wonderful that something with so much potential to help people is no longer looked on with the fear and ridicule it once was. People are discovering the comfort and clarity that the tarot can bring into their lives, and it’s being accepted into the mainstream.
