Make Your Own Tarot Deck

I had a Zoom call this week with a business psychic.

Even typing that sentence makes me laugh a little.

She works with entrepreneurs and leaders to help them gain clarity in both business and life. A friend of mine met her through a mastermind and absolutely loved the experience. She even got her husband to try it too.

As woo and witchy as I am, I’m not a psychic hopper. Outside of my work with a shaman and an occasional tarot reading, it’s not something I do. Partly because I’ve been told to be very discerning. I think one of the only parenting beliefs both of my parents fully agreed on was that I was never, under any circumstances, to touch a Ouija board. That kind of fear lingers in the back of your mind a little. The idea that there are light and dark forces at work. That not everything should be opened casually.

But this felt different and I went for it.

And to say I was impressed would be an understatement. She picked up on deeply personal things almost immediately, thoughts I’d been circling, signs I had been quietly asking for (like green butterflies), tensions I’ve been feeling around my work, creativity, and homeschooling this fall.

But the most interesting thing she gave me wasn’t advice. It was homework.

She told me my guides kept saying the same thing: too many ideas.

My mind was overflowing with so many ideas without a right container to catch it.

Then she suggested something my guides wanted me to do that I had never heard before. She told me to write down all my ideas, concepts, dreams, business thoughts, random sparks, everything, onto individual slips of paper. Then place them upside down and shuffle them like a tarot deck.

Close my eyes.
Touch the papers.
Feel into them.
Pull a few.

And trust, and act on, whatever surfaced.

She said sometimes we become so programmed in the way we think our life or business is supposed to work that we stop seeing the more intuitive path trying to emerge underneath it all. So I basically reverse engineered my whole business from my own tarot deck this week, and I’m trusting it.

It was so wild and this whole concept fascinates me.

Creating your own tarot deck. Not from someone else’s symbolism, or a guidebook but from your own subconscious.

And honestly, my entrepreneurial business mind immediately started thinking about how this could help people to apply this in their own home: especially decluttering.

Imagine writing different spaces, projects, or lingering tasks onto slips of paper then each morning, instead of spiraling about everything at once, you pull one.

A small intuitive assignment from your higher self.

I personally want to try this with things I need to buy for our home too. There are so many empty spaces I’ve been waiting to intentionally fill, and I’m curious what might surface if I stop overthinking and start listening more intuitively to what wants to belong there.

I think many of us are trying to reconnect with intuition again after years of outsourcing our knowing to algorithms, experts, influencers, productivity hacks, and so much noise.

I think intuition grows through tiny moments like this. Play and tiny acts of trust.

Also, if you’re curious what I pulled first from my own deck…

Stay tuned to see how this plays out in my business.
