Subject to copyright, we have permission to reproduce the following reading, created by James Wanless of Voyager™ Tarot, who has also worked closely with the Thoth deck. It is designed to be read by yourself, and is reproduced here for private use only. As the Hermit expresses the journey of self-healing, this reading is a self-healing tool. It is drawn from the details of the images on the cards. James has a shamanic background and encourages students to embody the Tarot, hence his instructions for the physical conditions of the reading. Following the instructions will deepen your experience.
