Another group of ladies invited me to host a little Tarot evening for them this week. We talked briefly about what Tarot is about – it’s NOT black magic – and how people find it helps them to consider their options and sometimes choose a path when they have been agonising over what to do next.
My readings are done using the Rider-Waite tarot deck, designed in 1912 by Pamela Colman-Smith. It is the world’s most popular 78-card Tarot deck.
One lady asked about the cards, their designs, what I thought of them as a Christian, why I used 7 cards in my initial ‘spread’, and what the position on the table of each card signified. She wanted to know about every aspect of the reading.
Each reading is carried out in private and each client makes her own choice to interact with me during the reading or to remain quiet throughout the reading and perhaps ask questions at the end.
One lady asked no questions at all but at the end when I gently enquired if she could relate to the contents of the reading I had just given, she said, ‘yes, every single card’. She didn’t tell me why or how or what was going on in her life, but she was very satisifed with the outcome of her reading.
Other clients will ask about the significance of one or more cards in the reading and we can choose extra cards to shed more light on what those cards might mean. The client may point to a card and say ‘that must be my mother’ or ‘that is the diificulty I have been experiencing with my boss’. Only the client knows the real truth about how the reading relates to her life and her choices.
The whole process of shuffling the deck, laying the cards out, explaining the meanings of the cards in the 7-card spread and gently enquiring about any questions the client might have is a exciting and absorbing on – all this makes for a unique and enlightening reading for every single client.
The tarot reading session is different and exciting for each person. You will feel empowered and in control.
