Eric’s “Back Into Tarot” Blog
In the early 2000s (my teen years), I was very spiritual and eventually found that I enjoyed tarot cards. I got really into them. Unfortunately, I ended up in a toxic relationship that ended very poorly. I was also around a lot of “fake” and “toxic” people at the time, many of whom were self-proclaimed spiritual people, witches, Wiccans, pagans, and occultists. Long story short, I left tarot cards and spirituality with that relationship. I went to college, got two terminal degrees, one in creative writing and one in business, and started teaching English composition.
Lately (in 2026), I have found myself drawn back to some tarot cards that I miraculously found in a bin that I had managed to hold onto for over ten years across multiple moves. With my academic background, I’ve slowly started to study tarot cards in a rigorous way, from both philosophical and even spiritual lenses. While my own spirituality still has a long way to recover, I have finally come to accept that I love using tarot cards for many things, including:
daily readings,
thinking through daily problems,
thinking through the life that I want for my own future,
and reading for others.
It took a while to get confident reading for others again, and I’m still reacquainting myself with card meanings and spreads, but I’ve started practicing and reading for friends and friends-of-friends. This blog chronicles my journey getting back into tarot cards and coming to terms with my life as it is. I try to post weekly.
