Introspective Tarot

It's been a long time! I have been preparing for a big move, along with dealing with pretty intense panic attacks from my accident a few months ago. I have not picked up a deck in a long time, but I bought the Modern Witch Tarot Journal by Lisa Sterle and needed to do a spread.  This spread is in the book. I could not find a picture to post from the internet. This spread is all about finding the source of different things. I looked at each of the cards before writing down important keywords. My view has changed with a few of them, although I'm not sure if it's the progress of learning or if it's some kind of new intuition that has grown recently.
