With Tarot we can determine our life cards- our
soul, personality and shadow cards. My soul tarot card computed using my birth
date and year is the Chariot. The soul
card shows the qualities we aspire, our secret goals and wishes. The
personality card, on the other hand shows how we appear to others. Luckily for me my soul and personality cards
are the same- the Chariot. That explains all the travelling, and often changing
of residence I have been doing until I met my shadow tarot card.
The shadow card is the card that shows the hidden
(malefic) influences that will affect your life. My shadow card is the
Tower. Because of this coupled with the
presence of an island in my life line in my palm around the age of 35 I can
fully understand that the misfortune that happened to me around that age was
bound/ destined to happen. I had no
choice in preventing it. It was simply my time to face my shadow card, the
Tower. The shadow in Tarot is like a
separate entity that cannot be controlled, according to Christine Jette in her
awesome book “Tarot Shadow Work”.
Analyzing the Tower card further apart from the obvious
meaning of destruction, has also a deeper understanding of liberation. In 2008-2009 I lost everything I owned, all
property (car, clothes, furniture, personal items), I was harassed, and
suppressed by Jewish in Florida, and I was prosecuted for something I was not
guilty of. I had to fight for my life against people that done me so wrong. I
learned to understand that all these were happening for a reason. The reason was
ONLY for me to realize that I have to leave the country. What I believed in (freedom of Palestine,
opposing stereotypes against innocent Muslims, outrage against the lies and
mass manipulation of the American media) was no longer in line with Obama
regime that was just coming into power.
At that time I thought the problem was just local to South Florida, but
I had no idea that the country under newly elected Obama was to become a
pro-Jewish terrorist state.

The shadow will always be with me but taking
responsibility in my life by letting go of these past hurtful memories, no
longer useful I can control its effect. I still have healing work to do as I
keep having nightmares all the time, constantly being followed by the phantoms
of the past. I am working on changing
direction with forgiveness and compassion, as suggested again by Christine
Jette in her book “Tarot Shadow Work”. Last, I want to thank Christine for writing
such a wonderful book on Tarot shadow work as a concrete way to ease ”emotional
pain”( as she so wonderfully put it), to heal, to grow and to transform.
and I will do a reading for you.
