Philosophy and Core Teachings
Personal Power
The Sky Garden Tarot ethos is that humanity has free will and choice, and that each soul can consciously and intentionally create their destiny as well as their reality. Zela’s holistic work aims to empower people to make high-vibe, self-loving choices, to step into their strength and to embrace soul liberation. The key is understanding what is in one’s control to change, and how to achieve this change through action. And for things that are beyond control, Zela helps people to reach acceptance and to develop their empowering sacred personal mythology. Zela’s methods place cycle-breaking at the centre of personal power, and her work serves to break harmful inter-generational, social and personal cycles, and where appropriate to challenge the energetic status quo and forge paths anew, changing personal trajectories to be in alignment with one’s highest good and soul’s true purpose.
Stepping into personal power means accepting accountability and seeing the truth, for this reason Sky Garden Tarot does not promote toxic positivity (which is gaslighting) and spiritual bypassing, both of which ultimately undermine personal power.
Tarot and Astrology for Growth and Development
Zela’s individual mentorship sessions use various spiritual tools to illuminate where individuals are currently on their personal journey to mobilize for manifestation, problem-solving and action and to create a flexible vision of a soul-aligned destination to strive for. While Sky Garden Tarot promotes radical self-love, there is always room for individual growth and spiritual development. Growth involves constant healing, maintenance and spiritual hygiene, and Zela’s expertise facilitates the process. Shadow work is a key tenet at Sky Garden Tarot, and Zela’s mentorship serves to support people through their personal evolutions.
An emphasis on growth is not a criticism of the present moment, which should always be viewed in context and with self-compassion, and with the self-loving aim of progress, not perfection.
Intentional Action
Sky Garden Tarot teaches that insight is nothing without action. Sessions with Zela outline ways in which a person can put knowledge into practice, and assist with strategizing and breaking larger tasks into practical steps. Personal power and personal growth are paramount, forming the alchemical basis in an action-oriented paradigm. It is through action that individuals become the cosmic-conscious architects of their lives.
Inclusivity
Sky Garden Tarot’s ethos is one of inclusivity, Zela teaches that there is a space for everyone in this world, and that our diversity is to be safeguarded and celebrated. Individual all operate through different personal, socio-cultural and spiritual lenses and each of these are equally valid. Embracing all forms of uniqueness and resisting pressure to conform to a majority is an act of radical self-love in a world that persecutes outliers.
Sky Garden Tarot aims to support the path of free-will and individuality where it empowers the individual and does not cause harm to others or the environment.
