BOTH SIDES OF THE TAROT

I have to put this to bed, here and now.
Why do people want their cards read? There are many different reasons why people seek out the "Fortune Teller". There are those who are inquisitive, others require answers to certain problems or issues in their life and some who just want to see what might happen. Of course if you are seeking advice about anything in life, then you try to get it from a professional who will ultimately supply you with everything that is required to assist in solving the problem or issues you may have. In these days of our Materialistically valued society, everything seems to come with a price. In all walks of life in our modern, internet connected, fast paced, need it yesterday, world, we have the professional, the not so professional, the useless and the scammer (charlatan, in some cases) who offer their services, daily.

When all is said and done, we are given many choices and it's up to us to make the right one. Fact. Next, if anyone wishes to find out what will happen to them in the future? My suggestion and advice is to answer them with, "wait and see". As a Tarot reader, I would first ask them, how they would like me to answer the question, with a reading or just plain advice. If they choose a reading by me the Tarot reader I would explain in detail that I can't predict the future. Fact. I can, though, read my cards, use my intuition, insight, many years of experience and several other factors to provide certain solutions and any possible outcomes to the question and therefore offer them to the person, who now, armed with this information, can now choose what to do with it. Fact again.

It's like anything in life, the choice is always ours. Human nature is the biggest factor in everything we do and it also brings with it all the positives and negatives. Let's go back to the question, "Why do people want their cards read"? Because people are unsure of how to deal with what life puts in front of them they sometimes make mistakes from bad or negative choices and tend to get no backup or support. For hundreds of years people have used the powers of Divination such as, the oracles, shamans, medicine men and more to help and give people guidance. Cartomancy, which uses ordinary playing cards have long been used to tell fortunes with and today the Tarot has evolved into everyday modern society. Mothers, daughters, husbands, brothers everybody has had their cards read at one time or another. Some readings have been good, and others no so. This brings it back to another question, " is divination reliable enough to be used by everyone"? I would say yes, but only if certain factors are met:-

Is the Reader experienced enough?
Does the reader have good intuition?
Can the Reader show competence?
Does the Reader believe in what the cards show?
Can the Reader give a clear, honest, truthful and factual answer to the question?
Does the Reader have faith in what they can do?

If all the above factors/questions are all yes then the reading can be carried out.
