CRISTO • Tarotista Tarólogo Taromante • 619-***-**** • ********@*****.*** • @tjcristo
I. ABOUT:
Cristo reads Tarot de Marseille in a visual and intuitive way, focusing on symbols, gestures, and patterns rather than fixed meanings. He uses the cards as a mirror for reflection and awareness, allowing their imagery to become a source of insight and exploration. Think of it as exploring a deck of images to uncover the insights you already carry. For Cristo, Tarot is a portrait of the reality we carry within. It is a tool for self-reflection, helping us understand where we are, what we want, and the fears and obstacles that may stand in our way. It is a tuning device that brings awareness to the relationship between body, spirit, and mind, connecting our experiences to something greater. Ultimately, Tarot is a game - the game of life. So play it.
