The Truth About Being A Tarot Reader

True story: About 5 years ago I decided to start my online tarot business because my offline business did so well. My goal was to reach and help people all over the world with my abilities. I do what every work at home mom does and I advertised anywhere and everywhere it was free. I joined forums and groups of all kind to get the word out about my business. I followed all of their rules when it came to posting and advertising. When I received my first online paying customer she was so happy and satisfied with her reading that she invited me to a group that she was affiliated with called The Mom Pack.

I was so excited to join this group because she bragged so much about them and all I could think to myself was what a great group and opportunity this was going to be. I joined there group and I received so much welcome from them; they all made me feel at home. I received tons of welcome emails and advertising of all the different opportunities that were out there. Once I read through there rules I knew what each day allowed and I followed their rules with no problem.

Anyway I had posted a few advertisings here and there but I wasn’t a big fan of yahoo groups so it wasn’t often that I posted. One day I decided to send a promotional email out to the people who had given me there emails to receive updates regarding my business. To my surprise my AOL account had saved everyone’s email including business emails without my knowledge and over 1000 emails went out without me realizing it.

That day I received quite a few emails from group members kindly asking me to remove them from my list of emails. I explained to them that I did not have a list of emails and that there was an error with my email. I explained to them that my email had automatically saved there emails without me know. So I apologized and emptied my address book completely. I was truly in shock to see that my email had saved so many emails. I had no idea that this was even possible.

After apologizing one of the group members decided that she was going to verbally attack me regarding the email that was accidentally sent to her and she went on to rant and rave about how she hates spam and how she doesn’t believe in what I do. She then went on to tell me that I was a scam artist trying to scam her group members out of money. At first I thought this was a private message between me and her until I received over 70 emails from group members bashing me. She claimed that I went on her group to steal emails and scam her members. Needless to say I gave her a piece of my mind and I left her group.

Almost a year later I received over 90 emails with more than half her group attacking me once again. They all claimed to have received another email from which wasn’t true because at this point I made it my business  to always check my address book now so that that never happened again. It was to the point that I got verbally attacked by these women al because they didn’t like what I did for a living. It was absolutely ridiculous. I reported them to the BBB and Ripoffreport.com and they continued to bash me. I decided to let it go because these women were all being told to do these things by the owner of the group and since these women did not have a mind of their own and they chose to be her puppets there was no point in arguing with them anymore. I let them continued there rant and in return there were tons of women that felt so bad that I had been attacked in that way and they apologized and actually became customers of mine which I thought was kind of funny.

The point to this is not everyone is going to like what I do and I’m ok with that. I have never forced my business on anyone and I never would. I respect when people tell me that they don’t believe in what I do. I don’t attack anyone for not liking what I do because everyone is entitled to their opinion. There are plenty of haters out there that will find a reason to make you look bad it’s up to you to represent yourself in a way that makes them look bad. They may discredit the way you read or they may simply not like YOU.  You’ll get your fair share of flack just for showing up and being you. People will want you to be wrong. Skeptics love nothing more than proving you are “full of crap”. They want to cast doubt on anything that seems to be too far outside their norm. 

Clients may leave and never come back. I have learned that not everyone will be dazzled by our talents in fact we may scare a few off because of how accurate we are.  People may like you just fine but may not need more than one tarot reading, ever.  And some will be pissed for whatever reason and take their business elsewhere.  The ones who really value your work will stay. 

Every so often I come into contact with someone who thinks I shouldn’t take money for reading tarot.   These people seem to believe that making a living doing this work makes it somehow less “spiritual”.  They don’t seem to realize that a full time reader has bills to pay, mouths to feed, and only so many hours in the day.  Clients are paying for your time – not just the time you spend with them but the time you spend learning and developing your skill.

Reading tarot has taught me to grow a thick skin because of the attacks that I have endured and I know in my heart that there can and may be more attacks to come and I’m ok with that because I know and understand that not everyone has to like what I do.

Are psychics satanic or evil?

Absolutely not. Anyone who is Satanic or evil would call themselves something other than a psychic. Most Psychics believe their gift was given by God just as everyone else’s is. Some people are born musicians, some are born artists, and some are born psychics. Many historical figures from Roman times to Ronald Regan have sought the advice of psychics when they needed it. There are also plenty of Christian psychics, Jewish psychics, and Catholic psychics. Psychic ability has nothing to do with religion or beliefs, but rather if the person was born with a gift or not. Some people say that during a psychic reading that psychics tap in to Satan’s power, but how would he have a power that God does not have or did not give him? Isn’t God all powerful? Surely people on his side also have these same powers, if not MUCH stronger powers, to combat the people who are psychic and also chose Satanism as their religion. There have been far more people who claim to have psychic powers and say they received as a gift from God than there have ever been people who say they are using Satan’s power to be a psychic. Satan is allowed to remain because it is God’s will, and God would not give his children the shorter end of the stick and Satan’s minions an advantage.

A lot would see someone who gets answers from beyond as evil, but surely there are just as many if not more good spirits that are out there than bad spirits. Like nature, the spiritual world is very balanced and will correct imbalances. Most psychics call upon God or Jesus and give them credit for the gifts they have. They ask for the holy spirit to guide them, not for dark powers or Satan. Also, unlike what you see on TV or movies, psychics do not all look like gypsies and only stay in dark rooms. They are people like you and me, and most of these people tell only their family and close friends. We’ve all heard the story about how someone’s grandma knew her son had died at the moment he passed even though he was far away. Or the grandpa who saw his brother come into his room on the night he died. Most people do have a psychic experience in their lives, but can’t tap into the ability enough to be able to turn it on and off.

These people did not tap into the power of Satan to use this power. These people are regular people like you and me, they know nothing of black magic or Satanism. The same way most psychics know nothing about Satanism. Yes there could be a Satanic psychic out there, but there could also be a Satanic police officer, and that doesn’t make all police officers Satanic. There is no need to worry if a psychic is a Satanist anyways, as you just move on because there will be far more psychics who believe in God out there to help you.

Part 5 Of My Journey As A Psychic

My last and most favorite psychic gift is the ability to read tarot cards. I was 14 years old when I did my first reading. I had no idea what I was doing and I was doing it just for fun until the person told me that I was right on with what I was telling her. At this point I just laughed it off but a month later the lady came back to me and told me that I was totally right. I finally decided to invest in a set of cards so that I can get a better idea of what to do with them. Things came pretty naturally to me but there was still a lot I had to learn. So I ordered some reading materials that helped me learn the meaning of the cards better than what I already knew. The books helped a lot and I learned so many different layouts. I learned how to create and customize my own readings on my own and I learned what is the proper way to do a reading with someone in front of me and when I did the readings online.

Tarot cards can be used for practical problem-solving, creative visualization, meditation, self-improvement, as a tool of understanding, for divination and fortune-telling, even for card games. Some collect Tarot cards simply for the joy of the artwork, while others look further into research and study of the history of Tarot cards.

Tarot cards are simply a deck of picture cards containing 78 cards in all. Like regular decks of cards tarot cards have four suits. Only instead of the suits having hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs, the suits of tarot cards are called wands, swords, cups and circles or pentacles.

These four suits are divided into what is called minor and major arcana cards. The minor arcana cards consist of 1-10 cards and Kings, queens, knights and pages. The minor arcana cards are the small practical things in life, the daily ups and downs.

There are numerous ways to lay out tarot cards in order to give a reading and the exact lay out may depend on the type of reading that a person is seeking as well as the reader himself.

The three main uses of tarot cards are:

1. Straight divination

2. Spell work (these decks are especially designed for spell work)

3. Working the Tree of Life (for doing a great work)

While you can use almost any tarot cards for straight divination, only the updated decks can be used for spell work and working the Tree of Life.

Part 4 Of My Journey As A Psychic

Hey everyone this entry will explain one of my many journey’s as a psychic. The third psychic gift I have is Clairsentience. Clairsentience has to do with sensing. This is more of a body feeling or sensing than actually seeing visions with your third eye or physically hearing thoughts or voices. I have had this ability sine my teen years. I have always had the ability to feel what others feel whether I knew them or not.

If someone is Clairsentient he or she has psychic radar working all the time, psychically feeling the environment as he or she goes through the day. The down side to clairsentience is that I have become a psychic sponge. I have the ability to soak up too much of the environment and I carry it with me which at times can really suck.

My first experiences were with my family. I could feel when something was wrong before they even said anything to me but as the years went by this ability grew stronger and stronger and it was to the point that I could feel the feelings of total strangers. All they had to do was walk by me and I could clearly feel everything that they were feeling. This ability is good when needed but it is extremely hard to turn it off. I have tried everything and this is the one ability that will not shut down and it drains me so badly. It’s to the point that when I talk a walk outside I have to listen to my Ipod or I will hear feel and see everything that is around me whether I want to or not.
