Reflections in a Tarot Reading

Whenever you do a Tarot reading, you have to look at the past to reveal the future. I sometimes wonder though when I see these Tarot readers advertising a 1 card reading to clients. Yes, as a meditating card you can use just one card but surely not for a clients reading, even if it is FREE. How do you get, past, present and future from 1 card? The answer is, you can't! That's why somebody had this amazing idea to invent, "The 3 Card" spread. Of course I'm being cynical about it so stop doing it. Give the client the facts and stop being lazy or tight. I just needed to get that off my chest.

Why do we look at the past to reflect or reveal the future? Well I have to say it's just logical, it's part of human nature to look back in time and history just so that we can understand the rights and wrongs that people have made in the past and make sure we don't make the same mistakes that others have. It also helps us to learn by our own past history and rectify any of the bad choices we may have made along our chosen paths. You see now, the terminology that I have been using has been written into the Tarot along with its symbolism.

The Fools Journey is an excellent example of how we have to choose the correct paths to tread throughout our own individual life's journey. Life is too short and precarious to gamble with and like the old knight who guards the Holy Grail, says to Indiana Jones "to choose wisely" when he looks at all the chalice's to choose from. History is the book of life and a proficient reader can determine the outcome accurately from the scrutinising of any and all cards that are positioned in the past places of a spread. If you take a look at my, Psychic Celtic Cross spread you will see that I describe some of the positions of the cards as both, recent past and distant past and allows me to gather enough factual information just like glue. This in turn with the present positioned cards give me the tools and resources to construct a professional and accurate reading.

That my dear friends and colleagues is why we all need to reflect on the past.

Even Enki of the Anunnaki realised he had to look at the past to see what would become of his and the human race's future...
