People often ask me this:
“Can I access the Akashic Records through Tarot cards?”
Or pendulums. Or oracle decks. Or dreams. Or even bodywork.

The short answer?
Yes — but it’s not quite that simple.

Let me explain.

Accessing the Akashic Records isn’t about the tool.
It’s about your intention and entry point.

You can absolutely use Tarot as part of your process. But it depends on where you're choosing to enter — what part of the energetic continuum you’re tapping into.


What Do I Mean by “Energetic Continuum”?

Think of energy as a spectrum:
At one end is pure potential — where you’re closest to soul truth, to divine consciousness, to the source of knowing beyond time and space.
At the other end is form — dense, physical, local. Everyday life.

Most Tarot readings operate more toward the form end. This isn’t wrong — just different. That space is great for practical questions, grounded insight, even predictive threads.

But when I teach you to open the Akashic Records, you’re entering at the potential end — connecting with your soul’s perspective in the moment of becoming.

You’re not asking: “What will happen?”
You’re asking: “What is true now, from the deepest level of who I am?”

This is a non-local entry point.
It’s less about outcomes and more about essence.


So Can You Use Tarot in the Records?

Yes — with clear intention.

Here are a few ways I’ve seen this work beautifully:

  • Open someone’s Records and pull cards. Then ask the Records: What do these cards reveal for this person now?
  • Open the Records of each Tarot card. Explore each archetype or symbol from the perspective of divine knowing. What does the soul say about The Tower? What does potential reveal about The High Priestess?
  • Go into your own Records and ask:
    “How can I best use Tarot in my Akashic work?”
    You may be given a process that integrates both — perhaps something completely unique to you.

The key here is always intention.
Why are you using Tarot? What are you truly asking?
And where are you choosing to enter?


What About Trust?

If you’re new to this work, trust can feel wobbly.
That’s normal. You’re not alone.

Which is why I always recommend starting from potential — from the purest resonance of soul truth — and growing from there.

Once you’ve practiced working at that deep level, it becomes easier to understand how to move along the continuum, when needed, without losing your integrity or alignment.


Is One Way “Better”?

Not at all.

It’s not about better or worse. It’s about where you are, what you seek, and how your energy flows.

Using Tarot at the form end is like looking in the kitchen window of a house.
Opening the Records at potential is like stepping into the foundation — into the living breath of the house itself.

Both offer something valuable.

But they are not the same.


Final Thought

I always say: if you’re curious, ask the Records yourself.

Ask:
“Can I integrate Tarot with the Records in a way that serves my highest good?”
“Is there a process I can explore that honors both?”

There’s wisdom waiting for you in this question — especially if you’re ready to go deeper than divination.

Because at the heart of both Tarot and the Records is the same invitation:
To listen to your soul’s voice — and live from what you hear.
