Author Jessica Dore at home, before the release of her first book, “Tarot For Change: Using the Cards for Self-Care, Acceptance and Growth.”

Dore, who is also a licensed social worker, has gained an online following with her daily tarot card interpretations which blend psychology, self-reflection and spirituality.

Story by Elle Hunt: “Tarot as practiced by Dore does not so much provide answers as it generates more questions. “You’re not predicting the future – you’re really just exploring, looking at the images and activating the imagination,” she says.

“Dore likens drawing cards to yoga: a daily discipline of self-care, containing ‘profound spiritual data’ to be experienced rather than intellectualised. “I came to tarot needing to figure out how to take better care of myself, how to check in with myself, to show up for myself.’”
