When I do a reading I ask to connect to the Highest possible Source to bring clear and accurate information forward to you. I record the session so that you can listen again and re-experience the energy that is created at the time of the reading. Here I share ten things to consider before booking a Tarot Reading.
This article was written by Ginny Hunt http://www.78notes.blogspot.com.au. It was called ’10 things your Tarot Reader won’t tell you.’
I include this article as it does give you an idea of how a Tarot Reader operates and what to expect, not expect, from your reading. My comments are in italics.
1. I don’t know whether the reading I will give you will be helpful or not. I sure hope it is, but even when we have a clear understanding what we are asking and I have a clear understanding of the cards, the cards themselves may not be extremely helpful. They may tell you what you already know and the reading can feel like a waste of time.
2. I don’t always get psychic information. Tarot readers are not always psychic just as all psychics are not proficient in tarot. I will occasionally get an unexpected nugget of information that comes totally out of left field, such as a time or date or other specific detail that I couldn’t have known naturally, but in general, I don’t rely on these because they are so random. (I do often get psychic information when I read, especially if you are relaxed and open. I share exactly what I receive and I do not try to interpret the message. That is for you to do.)
3. I am not a mind reader. I cannot read your mind, so if you want to know what the cards say about a certain situation, you have to tell me about that situation. If you hold back crucial information because you are testing my powers, you may not get the important information you need. This is because the message from the cards is filtered through my own conscious awareness, so if I don’t know about it, I’m not going to address it. (Clients sometimes say to me, “It’s like you read my mind!” For me that is great news as it means you are on track with your thinking.)
4. I want you to ask questions about your reading. I prefer my reading clients to be actively engaged in the reading process. I know sometimes it seems like a straightforward exchange in which you pay for a tarot reading and I deliver it, but a reading isn’t like buying a cake at a bakery, it’s about you and your life. It is more akin to ordering a fine suit and having it customised and tailored to you. I want your input during the entire process. I love feedback, both positive and negative. (Honestly? I don’t like negative feedback. I would prefer constructive critique. I’m only human and rather sensitive!)
5. You can’t do what I do. A tarot reader invests a vast amount of time, money, and energy into the study of the cards and into honing their reading abilities and techniques. I am not reciting your reading from a list of card meanings from a reference book. Certainly, anyone can do that. I also have a knack for this and I am using my talent and gifts in reading your cards. Everyone can sing, but that doesn’t mean everyone should go on American Idol. There’s a reason I get paid for what I do. Even if you do read tarot quite skilfully yourself, I lend objectivity as well as my own unique intuitive insight to your reading that you can’t give yourself.
6. I hate when people ask for free readings. I am a professional and I am not always on the clock. Also, see #5. I deserve the same respect you would afford any other professional. Sure, if you have friends in various professions, you might ask their experienced opinion on various things, and I don’t mind that, but if you wouldn’t ask your doctor friend for a free exam, don’t ask me for a free reading. If I offer a free reading, that’s one thing, but my services aren’t usually free. (I don’t think anyone has ever asked me outright for a free reading but of course they hint at it or suggest a swap. It’s all about energy exchange. You receive something, I receive something.)
7. Unless I advertise other services, don’t assume I provide them. Some tarot practitioners also have skills and services in other metaphysical arts but not all of us do. Some practice Astrology, Numerology, Reiki, magic spells, etc., but a Tarot Reader isn’t necessarily going to have knowledge of other practices. (I read Numerology as part of your session as I feel it is a vital tool for finding out more about who you are. I don’t do Astrology. I am a Reiki Master and so often there may be a healing focus in your reading.)
8. I sometimes miss things. The cards tell a story and I will do my best to squeeze every bit of nuance and all information I can for you out of them, but I am human and I might miss something So when a situation plays out in a way that, in hindsight, the cards clearly pointed to but I neglected to mention, I feel bad. I wish I had seen that coming. Sometimes, the cards don’t warn of an event and it happens anyway. That’s not my fault. Tarot is far from perfect. It’s like weather prediction. Sometimes that thunderstorm moves in out of nowhere. I am not perfect. I can miss things. I make mistakes. (A lady once contacted me and asked why I had not told her that her son would die when I read for her. I don’t believe Spirit would have given me that info as her adult son died in his sleep and there was nothing anyone could have done about it. However, I was most distressed and listened to the recording again. In the early part of the reading, I had said to her that there was heartbreak coming in around her. She said it was her last relationship break up and it was all ok so we did not look any further into it. The message was there.It is not always what I miss but how you interpret what I say.)
9. I’m not going to snoop on your friends. Don’t ask me to read about your neighbours or your cousin or The Other Woman. It’s not that I can’t read on their situations, I can. But of what benefit is that to you? How would you even know if what I am saying is true? And how does this information help you decide what to do in your own situation? Expect your reading to focus on you, primarily, and to help you take control of your own life by providing confirmation, affirmation, and positive suggestions for change. (Of course, those close to you do often show up in your reading. My early readings were nearly always more about my husband than about me! But we are seeking out your story, what you need to focus on. Spirit has no judgement and is not tuning in to what effect your actions will have on others)
10. Don’t lean on me, I’m not your crutch. If you start ordering multiple readings from me on too many subjects, I’m going to start refusing to read for you. The purpose of Tarot reading is to empower you to both rely on your own intuition and to give you tools for making your own choices. (Here Here!) It is a powerful vehicle for clearing out the mental and emotional clutter and its purpose is to lend clarity. (Absolutely!) Tarot doesn’t make your decisions for you. So if you start to feel like you “need” a reading on practically everything, that’s not healthy and I will refuse to read for you until a certain amount of time has passed.
