What the cards tell me...


Here is a sample of how I work.  A client asks me about a man she is seeing, I quickly tell her to give me no details, just tell me his name and shuffle the cards, thinking about him.

She draws:  9 wands / tower / ace pentacles / 5 swords / 10 wands

I said it was a struggle all along, but you were doing ok and then it was the tower, something terrible, destructive, he was unfaithful.  Now he is offering a fresh start, trying to make her buy in, but if she does, he will let her down again and eat her energy.  She looks at me, and said:  That’s exactly what’s happening. 

So the cynical amongst you could say, well everyone coming to you has that sort of problem.  So here are the cards for the next reading when a different woman asked about her relationship:-
 

And I said, he’s a good man,  a stable man, a good husband,  you are happy,  warm in the sun, but there is a pang at the end,  the happy ever after, you,  2 kids, the rainbow,  it’s upside down.  And she said, you are right, we are happy, he is good, but he doesn’t want kids.  If he wanted kids I’d have them, but I’m okay with his choice, I’m happy with him, but there is that twinge…

I didn’t know anything about either woman; I just read the cards they drew…

Unequal Loving


When people ask about love, the card they want to see is the Lovers card.  But the love card I like best is the 2 of cups.  Sometimes when we are young, to feel safe, we want the other person to love us more than we love them; or to feel that this is a grand experience, we want someone to adore. But a mature love is when both people put the same amount of energy into the relationship, which is what the 2 of cups symbolizes for me.


Recently I had a reading where a good man loved my client, but she didn’t love him back, and the more he loved her, the less she could breathe.  I said that just because someone has feelings for you, you are not obligated to return them. You don’t have to love someone back.  What you do have to do is be kind, and treat them gently, but their feelings don’t make them deserve you. 
I’ve given several readings for people who have told me it’s easier to be the unrequited lover, than be the one who doesn’t love back.  If you are offering something beautiful and they don’t take it… then that’s their problem.  But what if someone is offering you something beautiful but you don’t want it… it’s hard to say no without feeling guilty. It’s hard to say no when they want it so much, but just because they want it, doesn’t mean it is right for you…

That’s why I find the Two of Cups so beautiful – when both lovers are putting the same amount of energy into the relationship, creating a perfect balance.

How to use this blog

Every so often, as new people come here, I detail again how to use this blog.

Aidia Markiw, Odd Tile Job
The Tarot describes what is going on for you right now. It can predict patterns and show you how current actions are going to shape the future. This blog answers many tarot questions. You can dip in and out of it, follow updates, or go looking for a specific card or fact. 

I have detailed every single tarot card, all 78 of them, as well as going through the numerical clusters.  If you want to know more about a specific card, just enter it in the upper left hand corner (near the B) and it will come up.  I’ve written about my beliefs in how to use tarot,   looked at issues like what reversals mean and a bit about the Celtic Cross (the layout I use) And I write up  anecdotes about various readings I’ve done.

This blog is also my chance to show people that I am serious and educated in the tarot. Our readings often have laughter in them, but the underlying intention is to use the tarot to see where you are putting your energy, and see if it is giving you the results that you want. That’s the entire hour reading in a nutshell.

Yelp Reviews


You know when a lover has done you wrong, and all you can do is complain about it till your friends start to roll their eyes… that’s how I feel about Yelp and how they filter my reviews.  So instead of complaining yet again, I’m going to pull out this beautiful and so sweet review, and share it with you; Yelp filtered it immediately so I doubt anyone got the chance to read it.  You can find it if you go to my Yelp page, and then scroll down to filtered reviews and write up their two weird words (though why they care if a bot wants to read the filtered reviews… ) and then you can see it and others like it.

It's been over a month since my reading with Liat and her words still resonate with me. I'm going through a very difficult time at the moment (as I was then) and so much of what she saw in the cards is happening now. I was fortunate enough to have taken a voice recorder so I often go back and listen to the reading.

She's really a great person to listen to and her positive energy and spirit are so magnetic to the point where you think, "why couldn't she have been a relative of mine. What an amazing person to have in your life."

Overall, my experience was very positive. I went in seeking advice, and that's what she gave. Of course, I didn't get the answers that I wanted and that I was hoping to hear but that's just the way life is and you take it as it is.

I haven't been to any other tarot readers before so I'm not sure how the experience would be with anyone else but I know that she was great.

She really understands the cards! Oh and my reading was definitely accurate!

She can go off on a tangent when she's trying to explain something to you but she means well. I'd definitely go see her again!

She's a phenomenal woman!

My favorite line - why couldn't she have been a relative of mine J

Disasters and Intuition

I’m so saddened by the appalling shootings in Colorado last week. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those harmed...   


There was one detail I couldn’t get out of my mind.  Jessica Ghawi who kept a blog under the name Jessica Redfield, was one of the people who were senselessly murdered at that movie theatre.  But she had been in a similar situation this very year.  In June 2012 she had been a tourist in Canada, at the Eaton Centre and had left the food court at 6.20, driven out by a strong feeling of doom and discomfort.  The shootings there started at 6.23.
I remember years ago reading about the terrible fire at Kings Cross station in London and one survivor saying that people who turned right lived, and those who turned left died and how random that was and he didn’t know why he had known to turn the correct way, but he had.

Andy Cherwick,  the Courage Tree

All I can take from these terrible stories is that if your intuition tells you something – listen to it!  Your brain takes in 10,000 pieces of information and filters it to let you know the 100 or so that are important.  But the other 9,900 pieces are lurking somewhere and while we don’t have conscious awareness of them, our unconscious can still be dealing with that material.  So our intuition is often the real data that we have filtered out, still giving us information.  It’s rarely a matter of life or death, but our intuition, our gut feelings, the things we know without consciously knowing how or why, they often speak the truth to us…

Away for a week


I will not be around this next week,  we are hopping on a plane and going to London and Amsterdam (particularly excited about Amsterdam,  we used to go there often when we lived in London,  but haven't been for 15 years!)


So email responses will be sporadic but I will definitely be back on line Monday July 23rd.  I am currently taking bookings for late September,  early October.

Enjoy!
