Learning Tarot

So for two weeks now my fiance and I have begun learning about tarot. My fiance, Pete, is such an amazing man. He is a very protestant minded person, but he has never told me that I could not pursue my path. Recently though he has taken this step forward to learn tarot. He states that he wants to see in the world what I see. For instance, when we drive up to the mountains I'm always focusing on Spirit around me. I look at the leaves on the trees just waving in the breeze, and I'm always overcome with peace and wonder. Poor Pete is so cute because he always says to me, "What in the heck are you talking about they're just trees!" :):) Awe isn't he cute!! So it's absolutely amazing that Goddess has bless me with a partner that is so willing to work to understand what I see. At Tarot Night he is asking questions, and really paying attention to what is being taught. He even said on the way home that he is starting to see in the cards what everyone else is seeing. So, he is beginning to open his third eye a bit, and beginning to understand that the universe is so much more complex than he has previously understood.
Although we have many things that we don't agree on, and many separate interests I know that we have been blessed with each other for a reason.
As for tarot I'm working on it baby there is just so much to learn! I am not stressing over learning any longer though. I read this amazing book by Philip Gardiner about how the Bible was meant to be read symbolically rather than literally. Because of my upbringing I had never really thought of this possibility. Any who :) he talked about how the Ark of the Covenant was not a real ark that it was symbolic for finding God in one's self. It was, of course, much more complicated than this having to do with the Knight's Templar and Freemasons, but what I took from the book was that enlightenment is inside each of us. Our path to enlightenment is long and hard and may not even be achieved in one lifetime, but the key is to continue learning and growing and never give up the search. So, it may take me the rest of this life, but I will find the enlightenment that I seek. I am so excited that Goddess has blessed me with absolutely amazing people to teach me and share with me along this journey.
