Book Details
Creative Tarot: My first real engagement with the tarot came when I was in my late twenties. Like many people who take up the cards, I was inspired by a really good reading.
Complete Book of Tarot: Charging money for readings. A tarot reader provides a service and deserves to be paid a reasonable fee for a job well done. It is important to be upfront about the nature of the service you are offering and inform clients what a card reading can and cannot do. It is unethical to use the cards to frighten clients into giving you large sums of money for which you promise to ‘remove a curse’ or ‘cast a spell’ to change their lives. Your job is to empower clients to make their own decisions and to change their own lives. Whatever you say or do as a tarot reader should be, first and foremost, for the benefit of the querent rather than for personal gain.

Tarot Triumphs: What differences are there? One figure represents creative freedom, one is shackled, and one has authority. There are many more differences that you might choose to respond to; we will never see a spread exactly the same way twice, but that is also indicative of the richness of the Tarot Triumph symbols.
