8 - Strength
The Fool journeys to Strength, and after the stress of The Chariot, our Fool realises a need for calmness in the face of fears. The inner beast that lies within us needs to be soothed, not rejected or battled with, and so he finds that being gentle with himself is a must. He sees the dangers in his life and how his reaction to them stems from within. He develops a quiet inner confidence to deal with his problems. Now is a time for mind over matter, a time to control instincts and urges so that energy is channelled towards a positive end. The Fool finds strength of mind and conquers any fears he may have.
Within Strength, we find that having control over our personalities and egos is worthwhile and is best done with a gentle and loving hand. When confronted with our problems, now is the time for calm, pure motives, and having zero fear of the problems and issues we are dealing with—a time to allow our self-confidence to shine through, not in a bolshy but in a serene manner.
Our inner beast can rear its head, and we may find it difficult to remain calm in the face of problems. Yet the need to soothe, accept, and control with a passive hand is very needed right now. If we allow our inner beast to roar, it can kill, destroy, and create havoc with those things in our lives that need love, care, and understanding, be that a real-life situation or something you’re dealing with from within.
To be strong, and to make sure that we are not controlled by what lies within us can require courage. Grace is needed; we benefit from focusing on the present and not allowing the fears within to act.
Now is a time for self-compassion; do not display what your inner, angry, scared, or frustrated self may wish to act on.
You can cope; you are far stronger than you think you are.

I recently did a reading with Pam and was very happy with her insight. She was very accurate and was able to help bring clarity and minimize doubts about some recent changes in my life. I would absolutely book another reading and look forward to reading with her again.

I am totally blown away by how great this book is! Before you even get into the content you will notice it's sheer size. This book is HUGE. The book is filled with beautiful coloured reproductions of each card with a comprehensive breakdown of each cards imagery and numerical associations. Then you have the in a nutshell portion if you want the quick fix.
Upright and reversed meanings of each card are also included. There are chapters on spreads, belief systems, psychic abilities, working with difficult or negative cards. Pam has shared her knowledge and love of tarot in a beautifully accessible
guide that is thorough and easy to understand without feeling like too much hard work.
It's an utter joy to have this book in my collection and is fast becoming my go to treasure.
As an addition while waiting for my print copy I was able to buy the eBook version.
Yes, I have 2! It's THAT good.
