IcerocketI have been reading Tarot cards professionally for 19 years.
I am sure one day I will write a book about my experiences. For now just one observation.
If you explain a difficult circumstance in your life- the kind of circumstance you feel no one else would understand. Isolated in your misery.
If the person you are explaining these things to says "I know exactly what you mean."
Put away your defensive mind and listen to them.
We can FEEL when someone else does not "get us". However we are usually so lost in the "sauce" that we cannot hear the truth even if it is given to us in simple terms, from someone else who has "been there done that."
As I learned to quell my defensive mind I was even able to find pearls of great wisdom in my mothers advice.
Personally I know I put myself through the depths of hell in romantic relationships just so that I could learn to counsel correctly. Yet all too often I see a clients eyes glaze over as they disconnect- because they cannot possibly imagine I REALLY do know what they are going through.
I have learned so many sufferings of life are universal- not person specific. So if you have a drama- look in fiction, look in history, you will find this drama presented- just lightly disguised. Listen to advice and use what feels right in your heart. You will probably make mistakes getting out of a drama, just like you made mistakes that got you into the drama in the first place.
Mistakes teach us what is correct and what is not correct. We no longer have the luxury of living in fear- the change is NOW :).
MUCH LOVE!

I am also a reader. I gave up on the paid readings for several reasons. When I was doing the new year's eve thing at a big hotel downtown, the number of drunks got to be over-bearing. When I did the dial-a-psychic gambit the lucky number inquiry was popular and inappropriate via the QBL A few friends and I did a local community festival, and were up-staged by a run of quickie readers for a cheaper price. I remember about the time we were packing up after a weekend, some young woman and her friends were passing by, and she asked what I would tell her for a dollar. I told her "bye." She kept walking.
Using your life as a basis for readings can be a bit rugged, but still I'd tag it as way more authentic that the nominal "professional" psychics that bought their first deck about a week back. But then when I did the introduction to counseling at the graduate level, one of the prime premises of the course was to turn out certified counselors at the end of a curriculum, without much life experience to call upon, as if empathy could be taught. Both processes seemed equally bad.
I've used the reading process itself as also a learning process, and have had maybe a dozen of what I would classify as teaching readings. Generally, if I am fairly aware of the conditions and players, I don't need the cards, but even so a bit of affirmation tends to be a re-enforcement.
I have a partial book that I started, that I never finished, because I assumed that generally the people interested in these crafts, tended to be way less serious. I tend to the Dion Fortune take on the QBL as western tantra, as in the upward struggle of consciousness, aka climbing Jacob's ladder.
On the flip side of the school of hard knocks and body of life experience process, might as well derive some positive out of life's excursions.
Intuition itself can be a difficult gift however acquired
peace to your path priestess of the unhiddenness, Tadit
