Herbs of the Tarot
The herbs listed either vibrate with the same energy as the card it corresponds to or the energy of the herb works in conjunction with the card to unlock its hidden meaning. To use herbs with tarot cards, brew a tea to drink or burn the herb as incense while working with the cards. Meditating upon each card will deepen understanding of the meaning of the card and using herbs as a component of the learning process will stimulate accurate perception and enhance recall ability.
