HOW TO USE: CACIO E PEPE TAROT
There is no right or wrong way to pull tarot cards, that is the most important insight we can share. With that said, setting matters. We’re trying to hear the voice within, so creating a quiet space will be your greatest ally. Sit with presence, intention and curiosity. Your intuition is the channel through which the messages come and the cards are tools for translating them into digestible concepts.
A tarot spread is simply the number and layout of the cards you pull. You can do one, two or a robust arrangement of cards. You’re in charge.
Below is a list of potential questions to ask when pulling cards. These are just inspiration, make your own! Mix and match to make a spread, one question for one card.
What am I being invited to reflect upon and/or reassess?
What are the lessons I'm capable of learning in my life right now?
What am I being invited to learn about my health / finances / relationships?
How can I act in alignment with my deepest intentions and goals?
How am I being invited to forgive?
What am I preparing to work with?
What is still ripening on the vine?
What is ready to be composted?
What is ripe and ready for consumption?
Where is there room for renewal in my life right now?
What am I being asked to RSVP to?
A card to help clarify the meaning, direction of another pull that you’re struggling with?
How can I work with what feels challenging in my life right now?
How can I work with what feels easy and positive in my life right now?
Here are some tarot spreads to inspire by teachers we admire:

This is obviously a short list, there are an incredible amount of teachers and influential tarot readers and guides out there. Use this as a jumping off place to explore the enormous world of tarot.
When you pull a card, if it doesn’t resonate, leave it. Nothing in the Cacio e Pepe book is meant as a definitive truth. You don’t have to be a believer in any one thing, spiritually. This is your deck, your process and the scaffolding of your own dreams. Look at your own background to deepen with each pull. We used ours. You use yours.
