There have been occasions when clients would call me and ask if I could predict the winning lottery numbers for them. Truth be told, if I had access to that kind of information I would not be doing psychic readings to make a living.

I believe numbers play a bigger part in our lives than we tend to realize. Lately, when I do psychic readings, I have started to see significant numbers. Since I use a normal deck of playing cards there is the numbers two through to ten, and at times I use the Aces as ‘one’ when I get a ‘flash’.

When I do a reading I often feel that my spirit guide is trying to tell me something specific, and when I look down at the cards I do see the numbers of the cards around the client’s spread. Then I read what the numbers are supposed to be.  If we see a certain number over and over we need to pay attention. I feel that such numbers are trying to tell us something.

Numbers are an important part of our personal life history – from our birthdates to many other significant times and dates and even personal identification numbers. Read the rest of this entry »

When I do psychic readings with playing cards, I try to be creative with them to help me to open up my psychic abilities even more.

You may ask how anyone can use an ordinary deck of playing cards, instead of the Tarot or oracle cards to do readings. I can feel the energy by looking at the cards to get the ‘vibes’ off of them when I do a reading.

When I was younger I used to give readings to friends, and I discovered the cards can give off a very strong energy if they are face down. When I am guided by my spirit guide, or when my psychic abilities kick in, I feel a heat or I feel my hand will be drawn to the cards.

I usually do a 15 card spread and I would close my eyes and slowly go over the cards. The positive cards would give off a heat and I would slowly go over the whole deck until the 15 cards are all done. At times I may get the 16th card as a ‘good luck’ card, and nine time out of ten times I usually pick up a face card of the person in question, or a court card of that person I was reading.

I use a regular deck of playing cards and a pendulum as divination tools.

A pendulum is a weighted object at the end of a string or chain and it can be used for both dowsing and divination. The ‘bob’ of the pendulum is usually a crystal, piece of metal or some other gemstone. Pendulums have different sizes and shapes and they come in many colors. I use a quartz crystal pendulum with a 12 inch chain.

Divination with a pendulum can be done in many different ways, including using charts. You can even use a simple chart you draw on a normal sheet of paper.

Every psychic is different on how they do readings using divination tools. I like to challenge myself and push the envelope. I have developed my own divination method by combining the use of a regular deck of playing cards and a pendulum to do psychic readings. Read the rest of this entry »

The origin of Tarot cards has been debated for centuries. In 1299 AD in Italy the first appearance of Tarocchi, an Italian card game, was recorded. The cards, and their artistic interpretations, began spreading and evolving throughout Europe.

Historians still debate whether the Tarot evolved from traditional playing cards. Early British history points to this possible evolution. Perhaps the oldest playing cards came from the Middle East.

My understanding is that the imagery on the cards contained hidden meanings (as they do today), because governments saw fortune-telling as practicing magic, which was considered a crime. The Church viewed the cards as blasphemy and a threat against its doctrines. So the ‘true’ meanings of the cards had to be hidden using symbols. Read the rest of this entry »

I do readings using a normal deck of playing cards, the kind you buy at your grocery store. This form of divination is known as cartomancy.

Cartomancy originates from the 14th century, when playing cards were first introduced to the world. Some historians claim that it might even date back to Ancient Egypt.

Using an ordinary deck of cards was the most popular form of cartomancy for centuries, especially in Europe from the 18^th to the 20^th century. Today a standard deck of playing cards has, however, become the little brother of the Tarot cards. These days many people find it unusual that someone would be using a regular deck of playing cards to predict the future. Read the rest of this entry »

My husband and I sometimes go to Nevada to play cards and the slot machines, just to get away from the have-to-do’s for a few hours.

Recently I started handing out business cards for my psychic reading services to some of the dealers and regulars I was getting to know.

Of course, I got teased at the table I was sitting at. I kept telling them that it doesn’t work that way. I mean, once in a while I can tell you which color the next card will be, or I know when the dealer will go bust, but I can’t read minds. When I win at cards it’s because I pay attention to the other players and their body language. With Black Jack, it’s all random and you only need to know statistics. However, my guides will let me know if it’s time to go home, or not to go at all. Read the rest of this entry »

Growing up in a psychic family, I was constantly among adults who were seeing ghosts and reading people’s eyes. But I always wanted to be different than the other psychics in my family.

I guess that is one of the reasons why I began reading ordinary playing cards, instead of the Tarot. But I wanted to experiment even further, and in time I also discovered that I could open up the flood gates with automatic hand writing.

I have to be very careful, because when you use automatic writing it can be like opening a can of worms. Each time I do this I make sure beforehand that my mind is calm and clear. I also see to it that I have lots of blank paper, because you can use a lot of paper in one session.
