Why Bridge Tender Tarot?
I chose the name "Bridge Tender Tarot" for my site because for me it beautifully captures both the role of a tarot reader and the transformative journey that a tarot reading can offer.
A bridge tender oversees the passage across a bridge, ensuring safe transit for those moving from one side to another. Similarly, as a tarot reader, I can help individuals navigate the journey and transitions in their lives, offering insights and guidance, help them gain clarity and find solid footing as they move through the many stages of life.
I have always been intrigued by the role of a bridge tender. I would love to be posted on a bridge overlooking an ocean or other beautiful waterway assisting those navigating across to continue on their journey. The name therefore has both personal and symbolic meaning for me.
Choosing the name Bridge Tender Tarot emphasizes my role in helping others find their way and create meaningful connections in their lives. It’s a powerful representation that resonates with the essence of tarot as a tool for exploration and self-understanding.
Bridges are a fairly common symbol and often relate to the idea of a path to a better future. The word tender has varied historical and current meanings. It can imply acting with a deep sense of care, respect, and attention to others' needs or well-being. In the context here I see it as offering support and guidance, with care and respect.
As a metaphor for who I am as a Tarot Advisor, the term of bridge tender tarot overall embodies facilitating connections and understanding across various realms—between the past and the future, the conscious and the subconscious, or even different aspects of one’s self. Just as a bridge tender manages the flow of traffic, I can help my clients manage their thoughts and emotions, offering support and guidance, allowing them to navigate their personal journeys with awareness and confidence.
