The Year Ahead Tarot Challenge
A month of questions crafted with the intent to help you set your intentions for 2017, and to promote Self-growth throughout the whole year…
2016 has been a year of heartache and disappointment. We are all ready to leave this year behind and begin anew with 2017.
Hosted by TheCrownedCrow and Static-Chaos, we ask that you join us in the month of January with this tarot challenge.
The Year Ahead tarot challenge has been designed to help you create a personal map for the year of 2017. This will be a map that not only helps you realize your goals, but also helps you grow and connect with your inner Self. This challenge will hopefully help you prepare yourSelf for a year of abundance and happiness.
We advise you make a list of intentions: all the goals that you wish to manifest this year. You may post your list, or keep it to yourself. Write yourSelf some notes on this list as the challenge progresses. Keep it to refer back to throughout the year, as it will be your map. When 2017 ends, open up this well-worn piece of paper and see for yourSelf what you have the power to bring into fruition.
We invite you to share with the community your answers by tagging your journal entries and photographs with #yearaheadtarot. You may use whatever practice you deem fit for this challenge: tarot, oracle, runes, etc. There are no set of rules pertaining to how many cards are needed to answer a question, you may pull as many or few cards as you feel necessary.
