Tarot readers? Opinions and experiences

Tarot cards are just a means and tool for the questioner and the client to answer questions.
Of course some Tarot readers are good at reading their clients whilst others just make it up as they go along, hoping on making some lucky guesses. Therefore some people will have good experiences and others will think its utter crap.

Tarot doesn't tell the future but it can sometimes work on the principle that you already subconsciously know that the answer to the question. For example if you have been offered another job and it sounds great because it's more money - logic would tell you that you should take the new job. However you might have some niggling doubts in the back of your mind because the new job is a longer commute and you will be expected to meet higher targets etc. Perhaps subconsciously you picked up that the new boss might be a bit of a bully and hard to please. Therefore part of you is doubting that you will be better off taking the new job. It's the old mind vs heart scenario.

Most of us let logic dictate our reactions to any situation. Another example - A friend introduces you to someone they know telling you how great this person is. You want to believe your friend but when you meet the person you instantaneously dont like them and can't put your finger on why you feel like that.

I don't know if any of this has made any sense to any of you but it's about how we sometimes hide the truth from ourselves and don't listen to our gut instincts.

Yes! This kind of makes sense to me. I’ll be honest, I’m still very new to learning about the cards, so anyone reading, please correct me if I’m wrong.
But what fascinates me about them is that when you draw a card, it gives you a new angle to look at your thoughts. By looking at your question, combined with the meaning of the card, and thinking it through, it can give you a perspective that you wouldn’t have considered before!
Oh and @Scotch Mist I totally agree with what you said about gut instincts. There’s a brilliant book called Women Who Run With The Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. It has a chapter about women’s intuition, and how it only works, and improves if we keep trusting it and listening to it.
(Now I’m not sure if I’ve made any sense, a lack of sleep and busy week makes it hard to think/type clearly! 🤣 )
 
I think tarot is mostly a guidance and not speaking the absolute truth or way to follow, bit off topic but I understood a bit of how things work since my last partner dumped me so in the process of trying to get him back I found Neville Goddard and the law of assumption, so if I have a tarot read now and it tells me that he doesn't care about me I would know that myself concept is pretty poor and is manifesting as someone says is probably a good way to see what our subconscious mind is manifesting without us noticing properly

Total con artists who read people. Keith Barry has demonstrated how they do it. I went to one years and years ago and she was crap. Other people thought she was great because they chose to believe what she was saying.
Famous ones have bern caught out with their lies.

Some people are but some are gifted! I’m not sure how I do it but I can communicate with spirits, I’m currently working on my gift so I can do it professionally
 
Good readers will use cards as a tool. Most good ones have a touch of ability too. Some ( like me ) will also have a level of clairvoyance / mediumship too. I love my cards, they’re 30 years old but they’re almost there now to give me a back up if that makes sense. Always be choosy when you’re going for a reading and definitely go for recommendations. Be careful when using Facebook ones. I know of a lady who uses fb to book and does that in order to be able to have a little look before she reads. Ask questions if you feel you need to, but most good readers will tell you what you need to know without being asked. And if you’re not happy with a reading always say so. Love and light to all x

To the readers: which deck do you use? Do you have more than one or a favourite?

I use Mystic Mondays because its the deck I connected with the most and the deck I can read completely intuitively.

I also have a deck from Etsy by TerraSoleilCo that is absolutely stunning black, cream and gold with Egyptian symbolism but I rarely use it because it's my baby and I want to keep it pristine.

And a Raider Waite deck thats pretty beat up and well loved but rarely used now, this is the first deck I got and learnt the basics with.

Just checked the Mystic Mondays deck, it's so beautiful! I've never seen it before, I'll see if it resonates with me but it's a delight to look at haha.

My problem with my current deck (and most decks) is that the cards are too large for my hands and it's awkward to shuffle them as I'm not comfortable with my grab and constantly dropping stuff everywhere. I've lost an old deck which I loved and it still upsets me so now I don't know what to go for or if I should bother at all.

You can shuffle the cards any other way you want and what you're comfortable with - an easier way would be to lay them on the floor and then sort of swirl them around. Check youtube for different shuffling techniques, there's no "proper" or right or wrong way to shuffle.

I was always told that if anything like that disappears then its served its purpose in your life and someone else needed it.

If you'd prefer a smaller deck I'd recommend the Everyday Tarot deck which is under £10 on Amazon with really pretty images and a gilded edge!
 
Just picked up on this thread... the benefits of insomnia!

I have read cards for many years and worked for one of the premium rate lines as a reader as well as private readings.
Before any readings I have to do a quick meditation to open up thoughts.
I always get feelings and can zone in on someone, but I go through long periods, sometimes several years, between switching on to the cards and off again. This is because when my life is in chaos, all my problems come out in other people’s readings.

I use the Rider Waite deck and many different oracle cards. I’ve tried other decks but I always come back to the Rider Waite.
