spirituality & tarot

Today I've been assessing what religious belief system I possibly subscribe to.
Although agnostic has been the easiest word used to define my belief system, perhaps Paganism or Neo-Paganism would be even more correct.
Tarot has been the focal point for delving into practicing spirituality for quite some time. Without any religious upbringing, the idea of religion and its' dogmatic reasoning only succeeded in nurturing my disgust towards organized religion. Tarot is not merely a spiritual tool, but is also used in psychology. Some of the decks, like the Shakespearean Oracle, appeal to us lit nuts. Some artists collect particular decks for aesthetic reasons primarily. Basically, the tarot appealed to me on many levels.
Over time, tarot fostered a sense of the spiritual that exists within and around us on all levels. The Earth or Goddess provides such a tool as the tarot which enables me to tap into the spiritual power residing in everything. At first, the idea of ritual accompanying tarot would have seemed a little off. Now, I meditate and create spells with specific cards.
As I've developed, my ideologies have changed as well. As a vegetarian for over 15 years, who eats mostly organic and uses natural medicines over new traditional ones, I realize that I foster strong ties to the Earth (Goddess). Tarot has slowly led me to a place where I've found it easier to practice my growing belief system via ritual, everyday awareness, and in writing.
