Book Details
Creative Tarot: Then there was a difficult time. Financially, ambitiously, professionally, romantically, socially. You know those times in your life when you realize that every single thing you had going for you had decided to flee at the same time? It was that. In a fit of exasperation, a friendone whod had to drag me out of bars by my hair to keep me away from terrible men, grab glasses of whiskey out of my hand, and hand me tissues when I started crying in public yet againbooked me a session with her own tarot reader. You need to get it together I think was how she framed it.
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: From these questions, you can see how a short foray into contemplating just three of the Tarot cards provides a colorful, varied, and detailed view of how they can interact. Three isn’t said to be the creative number of the universe for nothing. I suggest that you try the same process. You can vary the order of the questions if you need to, though it’s easier to start off with similarities and differences to get a handle on the lineup of cards.
