Just a few months back I would have told you that I don’t believe in predictions by spreading cards and not have even looked at it. Well, I bought a deck! Why? For inspiration and to activate or support a more balanced working of my brain, balance between the right and left side of my brain.
What is difficult for me for example is to find out which feelings a picture produces. I only can say I like this picture or I don’t like it or I have no opinion at all. Even the fact that I like arts, paintings and photography, like to go to exhibitions, my liking has more to do with the concepts or ideas behind it not for feelings.
I felt drawn to the Celtic Tarot also for a reason. I saw a documentary about a Druid. I love the way he was educated and living.

The Brain Hemispheres
- The right-brain hemisphere is associated with being emotional, emphatic, witty, humorous, flexible, playful, and complex while the left-brain hemisphere is associated with being upright, sensible, verbal, analytic, realistic, rational, direct, and forceful.
- Both the right and left-brain hemispheres differ in language and spatial cognition. While the left-brain hemisphere processes information in sequence, the right-brain hemisphere does not.
- The left-brain hemisphere is good at processing symbols and processes information from parts to the whole; the right-brain hemisphere is good only at processing information that are presented concretely, and it processes them from the whole to parts.
I guess to have a dominant right hemisphere. I often see the whole picture but to explain, why I see it like this is difficult and takes a long time of gathering more information. What do I feel about something? Why does something make me feel comfortable or uncomfortable? Why do I feel attracted to this and not to that. I often can’t say.
