What are tarot cards and how do they work?
Tarot cards have been around for a long time. Originally, they were a game (in fact, they are still played as a game in some parts of the world). A tarot deck is comprised of 78 cards. A reader uses the tarot as a tool to tap into their intuition and divine the future. Tarot can also be used as a creative prompt, for self development and more. It’s quite versatile.
Tell me about your tarot readings.
I use a combination of tarot cards and runes – and I also tune into your energy. It doesn’t matter if you are sitting directly in front of me or if you are in a remote village across the pond – as long as you come to the tarot table with an open mind, we can work together. I do feel that a quiet environment is best as there are little distractions and I am better able to pick up on things.
My philosophy: I believe that tarot is a tool for conscious decision making – if you have an idea of where you are going, you can make better decisions. And that’s important because our decisions determine our fate. (Yep, future is malleable.)
How does intuition play into it?
Everyone has “psychic ability” to some degree. This is a natural God-given trait although some of us trust it more than others. I don’t consider myself “special” or “talented”, I am merely an instrument – tapping into universal energy and giving guidance to those who need it.
For tarot, I not only look at the cards, but I try to sense what those cards mean for the client – the cards have many different interpretations and intuition helps me to feel out which is right for the client. Two people can have the exact same cards in the exact same layout but it may mean different things. Intuition helps to sort it out. Sometimes I also just “get a vibe” which has nothing to do with the cards at all – just what I am picking up from the client.
