The Fool’s Journey is Travelling A New Road

You know I have been really touched by the many messages of thanks and support I’ve received from those of you who’ve downloaded my simple Tarot guide ‘A Fool’s Journey’.  And although I haven’t had much time to keep this site updated over the last few months, I have managed to keep up with the ever increasing amount of emails that keep coming in.

Many times I feel just as lost and bewildered on this journey as I did when I first started out on it. I keep asking myself whether I will remain a Fool all my life? Maybe that’s not such a bad thing but then if we don’t move forward, we are really moving backwards. And that doesn’t lead anywhere.

What I have discovered is that the skills and knowledge I’ve had to acquire in order to keep up with this site have led me through more complicated twists and turns than I ever imagined. Who knew there was so much involved in putting up a website and giving away a very simple little Tarot guide to people who might be interested.

Although it was my own Tarot cards that encouraged me to start up this site, I’m not afraid to say had I realized just how long and hard the journey would be, I am not at all sure I would have set out on it in the first place.

Yet, here I am. Not only have I survived the journey, but I’ve made new friends, learned new skills, and gained a much greater appreciation of my own personal development and potential. All things which would never have happened had I not started my Tarot journey in the first place.

Tarot is not just about guiding us through this one journey we call life. There are so many journeys within it, and so many roads to travel it’s no wonder it can all seem a bit overwhelming at times.

While it might be nice to think we can travel just one road at a time and spend some time relaxing after one journey before setting off on another, life isn’t like that. We would surely run out of time for doing anything if we had to wait until one journey was finished before we could start the next.

Right now, I’m still closer to the start of this journey than the end, but I’ve already set off on yet more new roads, some of my own choosing, some chosen for me. Other roads have come to an end or branched out into uncharted territories after rolling along well signed paths for a number of years.

I guess at my age, (no, I’m not telling ), I should be used to ups and downs of life, but where I used to think that the road would level out as I grew older, I now realise that won’t happen. Or at least if it does, it’s only the roads where we are further along that level out. As long as we keep finding new roads to travel, there will always be bumps and dips that we have to negotiate.
