Psychic readers all have their own ways of getting information during a reading, and I’d like to share some of my process.

I use Tarot cards to get started. The spread I use is one I developed based on one I saw in a book, which I expanded to give me the most information. A brief pay-per-minute reading is typically far too short to go over everything I get from the spread, but it gives me all the information I need to answer the original question of the client. If time allows, a few follow-up questions, or even another question, can also be answered from the spread.

For short readings it’s always easier to start with a specific question, preferably one that can be answered with a “yes” or “no.” If there is no specific question, I can only read the cards as they lay, listening to my guides to show me the way. Read the rest of this entry »

If you sit down quietly, close your eyes and relax, you can see yourself quite clearly. You know yourself relatively well. Even more information and answers lie in your unconscious, but how often do you take time out to deliberately go there?

Step 1: Meditation

Get a notepad and pen. Take an hour to relax in meditation. Drift out of meditation when you have an important realization to write in your notepad. Once you have documented it, go back into meditation for more. Read the rest of this entry »

I have noticed some interesting quirks when it comes to reading with Tarot cards. I do advertise telepathy, because my cards seem to suggest the thought patterns of the querent or the person calling. I have found this is how my cards were geared or oriented for me.

Perhaps some readers see outcomes, yet with an interest in Psychology, I see the reasons why for both you and your partner. This to me is a healthier way to establish points of resolution, even changing outcomes.

Yet when you are on a time limit, it’s a frustrating issue. It seems that I will get patterns in my readings. First the caller’s identity is established. For example, caller is identified as female, mother, employed as an accountant, having gone through some deception, has older children, and so forth. This will all be seen in the card spread.

Over the years, with the advent of the Internet, much of what continued to improve my Tarot reading abilities was the online community and other readers teaching me. Some of the best mystic teachings have been conducted through Tarot community forums and newsgroups. This has produced a generation of new readers and I am often most delighted to hear my clients comment on the cards I offer up, even hearing their own interpretations.

So, one has to ask, why is a Tarot reader needed in the first place, if it has become so accessible to read one’s own cards? Read the rest of this entry »

Even if you’re not already practicing divination, chances are you know something about the Tarot. This is one of the oldest divination tools known to man and, with its countless individual variations, presents an opportunity for anyone wanting to know more about them self to find out.

Before you start a Tarot reading always clear your thoughts and focus on your questions when shuffling your cards. If you’re wanting to read cards, or have them read for you, you’ll want to invest in a good deck. It’s important to choose one which reflects your taste and personality. If you’re just starting out, the classic Rider-Waite deck is a always a good choice.

Every Tarot deck contains 78 cards of Major Arcana consisting of 22 cards and Minor Arcana consisting of 56 cards. Study one card at a time to learn its meaning. A good book on the subject can also help. Read the rest of this entry »

It is always important to remember that psychics, empaths and intuitives have different techniques and gifts as readers. In my Tarot readings I do not use any popular spreads, although I originally started out with an ordering method that helped me organize the temporal tenses and see how cards ‘talk’.

My basic spread was always like this: distant past, recent past, future desires, present obstacles or problems, future problems, near future outcomes, far future outcomes. This simple linear spread was what I used to train myself in reading the Tarot.

When I went traveling, I experienced many alternative forms of reading, some even on safari – driving along broken roads in Eastern Africa. Some I discovered in unusual places, others on my lap. I lost one card on the plane, and it was a ‘journey’ card from one of the decks I owned. If I were ever to be lost in the wild, I would leave a trail of cards, detailing where I had gone or what I was thinking when I drop them. That way my fellow readers would be able to find me! Read the rest of this entry »

I know that I am being given information that to a large part cannot be identified or classified. This means when you ask a question, the cards will deliver a message – but I cannot always parse what the message is pertaining to – the present, the near future, the outcome, or a channel. I am an empath too, but in this article I am talking about the Tarot cards, which is a specific way of gaining information in a hard copy format.

When I start reading for you, I will give you a general overview without you giving me any details. This is to free associate – not to impress you, but to get a feel before we get going. I will keep the cards out after we have talked, and I can then go over the information. 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.
