Getting the most from your psychic reading

Talking with a Psychic Reader is the ultimate taboo for some, and a family tradition for many. Less expensive than long term psychotherapy, the occasional reading can go a long way toward focusing on personal issues without the Seeker's having to make a long term commitment. A Reader addresses issues of the soul or mind. These are people who have spent time developing the innate ability to sense or feel the unseen, non-physical environment. It is a skill, not a gift.

A good Reader will not look or sound like a stage act during serious spiritual or relationship readings This is not mind reading, like guessing your dog's name. It is the conveyance of information with an eye toward helping the Seeker gain understanding. The Seeker's future is not set in stone just because the Reader senses a particular outcome. As soon as the Seeker hears the reading, the future is changed because the Seeker has new information. The Seeker starts looking for signs and making decisions, based on that information, immediately.

Cartomancy or Tarot Readings
Tarot cards, Angel cards, or any form divination that uses cards as the tool of forecasting, is called Cartomancy.

Usually associated with "Fortune Tellers", Cartomancy is one of the most popular forms of divination right behind the daily Horoscope. Visually stimulating, emotionally evocative, and mysterious, Readers and Seekers use the cards to help with decisions, both simple and difficult. There are countless decks for daily use and expensive collector decks that are suitable for framing or display.

Cartomancy combines 3 psychic, or mental, triggers. The illustration, a key word, and a number will appear on the Major Arcana, which are the cards with words like "Strength" and "The World". These cards represent great expanses of time or the major influences of the situation in question. The Minor Arcana will bear an illustration and number, and are divided into suits, which represent daily activities and personality traits.

There are many variations on this framework, though. I have seen decks created by for specific purposes, that might bear words with no illustrations, or a simple stick figure and nothing else. Those are usually created by the reader for themselves and only they know what the cards represent.

In recent years other sorts of cards have been created, such as Angel cards, Bach flower cards....whatever the popular mysticism of the moment is. I am sure someone has come up with Feng-Shui cards, I just haven't seen them yet.
