So much to unpack. First, just the physical travelling part. The tool you use (or don't use) depends on your intent. If you need to get 'there' as soon as possible, then yes, a map or Google or GPS is are godsends. But if you're looking for adventure and new experiences, travelling with no guide is best. It may take you forever to get 'there' but you will have a grand time doing it. Before we get to Tarot I have to relate an experience by Jeannie. She was an up and coming glass artist at the time and she joined this glass group. And at meetings one or more members would demo their skills. Well, at one meeting, a glass artist demoed and was very insistent that the way she did it was the only way. Jeannie did it differently and showed the group. Jeannie understood that whatever gets you there is okay. Finally to Tarot . . . I am working on being a Seat-of-Your-Pants reader. But I'm still far from that goal. But I have found that there are fewer times that I need to reach for a book. Now, this is my personal goal and I'm not putting down any other method. As with glass art, so for Tarot, I think Jenn is saying what Jeannie knew - Whatever gets you there is okay. 🙂
