Every so often I put up a blog piece like this, explaining how I do my readings.
I've been writing this blog since 2009, and had been reading tarot cards for many years before then. So I'm very familiar with the cards.
Tarot doesn't so much predict the future as describe the present. So the cards say, here's what going on, and here's what going to happen if you keep doing what you are doing. I recently said to someone it's pointing out the ingredients before you. Don't like what it's cooking? Well, you can get different ingredients but that takes time and energy and planning. And some patterns are very deep and hard to shift. Sometimes I say to people, your work energy is very strong, let's focus on that for the time being, let the other stuff go. Or I'll see that your love energy is all consuming, let's focus on that.
But first, you have to shuffle the cards. For me, all the magic is in the shuffling. As I do most of my readings online, that means you need to access a deck. You can buy or borrow one , but it has to be a proper tarot deck with 78 cards. You move the cards, you draw them out, your fingers decide what's going to happen. If you are buying a deck, I recommend the Rider Waite Radiant, as a clear, easy to read tarot deck. But there are thousands of decks out there, get one that speaks to you and I'll work with it.
After you get your deck I recommend you shuffle every day for 3 or so days, before the reading, getting your energy into it. Then when we skype/zoom/facetime or however we get to see each other, the cards are warm and ready to be read.
Firstly we lay out 10 cards, into a spread called the Celtic Cross - like this picture. Once we have all 10 cards out, I do what I call a cold reading, where I don't know what's going on for you and just tell you what I see. That takes about 5-10 minutes. Only after that do we begin discussing what you drew and what feels right, and what needs more explanation. We do this in the privacy and quiet of your home, and I encourage people to record the readings, it's a lot of information and this gives you a chance to listen again and mull over it.
The reading takes about an hour and costs $150. Or I can do a shorter reading, about thirty minutes, for $80.
