![]() In our “new norm,” many find that they can do with minimal essentials. The word essential covers many things. Masks and personal protection equipment are essential. Workers of all kinds are essential, such as first responders and nurses, etc. We’re not just talking about “essential” workers, who are very appreciated! We are all uncovering what things are essential versus those we can put off or do without for a little while longer. When it comes to a tarot spread, how many cards are considered essential? This topic is explored in our monthly Tarot Tip. In the Diviner’s Corner, psychometry is the focus. Best Practices addresses how some clients may want to see you frequently but are not sure of what is appropriate or right for them. And one more thing...

COUNTING CARDS:
KNOW WHEN YOU'VE OVERDRAWN ![]() Very powerful tarot readings begin with one thing – intent. The intention of the reading is reached in partnership with the querent as to the purpose and goal of the reading session. When the intent has been established, the reader then chooses a spread, which can range from just one card to as many as the reader deems suitable. A well-planned reading works best when all is neat and concise. However, there are often shifts in the reading process, no matter how well-prepared the reader. Querents may shift the topic or focus of the reading. When the initial cards are drawn and placed in the spread, should those cards be all that’s needed? What about adding one more to the spread? Sometimes the meaning of a specific card is uncertain in the context of the spread. In that case, you may wish to pull a "clarifying card" to pair with the card in question. This can help shed more light on the original card. The number of cards in any given spread is often pre-established. A three-card spread is no longer a three-card spread if more cards are added. Sometimes, the design of the spread calls for a very specific number, such as three rows of three cards or two columns of five. Additional cards can be added based on the sense of completion or conclusion of the storyline. Readings have a start but also require an ending. Querents will often ask you to pull more cards, but in some cases less is more. It's amazing how much information you can get from a single card once you've learned the many layers of associations. A yes/no or this choice vs. that choice question can be answered with only two cards if you want to keep things simple. The type of spread needed for any given reading takes a bit of experience to choose wisely. Once chosen, resist the temptation to add more cards to the spread just to fill up time. Do you best to stay focused. Tarot School Aphorism ![]() ![]() BIRTH CARD COURSE PAYMENT PLAN! ![]() You asked for it – and we are delighted to say YES! First, we want to say how honored and grateful we’ve been for your response to our self-paced Birth Cards course. That’s why we’ve decided to tackle two of the main reactions we’ve been getting. First, those of you who have taken it indicate that you believe every serious tarot explorer NEEDS this course. Naturally, we can’t help but agree. But we have been pondering ways we might expedite this. The answer is in the second reaction we’ve gotten – from the many folks who tell us they are longing to sign up, but for so many reasons are simply not in a position right now to cover the entire fee in one go. We totally understand. These are, indeed, extraordinary times, and we want to support our beloved tarot community in every way we can.

Download the course that Rachel Pollack has said inspired for her, “awe at the beauty and depth of the writing” and Mary Greer recommends for its “priceless techniques and methods.” As one Birth Card Course student from Holland indicated, this a brilliant way to make the most of your time while waiting for the world to reopen. And while you do, we can promise you will learn dazzling new ways to understand and work with the tarot –– insights you will not find anywhere else, at any price.

This could very well be the premise of psychometry. Psychometry, or psychoscopy, is a form of ESP that obtains insights or relevant information from physical objects. Practitioners of psychometry hold that everything has an emanation. In the mid- nineteenth century, promoters attempted to make the case for psychometry as a recognized serious area of scientific study. Later on, psychometry was relegated to the world of spiritualism and the paranormal. Pyschometry, or object divination, is performed while the practitioner holds an inanimate object of any type such as a key, a piece of jewelry or an item of clothing, for the reading. Many who practice the art of psychometry say an item that was near and dear to the subject of the reading brings about better “contact,” especially when the subject has passed on.

By Gina Thies www.tarotadvisor.com / www.facebook.com/tarotreaders www.tarotcoupling.com / www.oraclesoup.org The frequency of client visits or sessions comes up as a topic every so often. New clients very often ask after an appointment about how often they should have a reading. Licensed counselors, therapists and doctors almost always have follow-up appointment recommendations or requirements for those they help. When clients feel helped, they will of course want to use your services again, but as “para-helpers” we are not held to the same requirements as licensed professionals. On both sides of the question, there are practitioners who advocate both for and against frequent readings for a single querent. I personally think the practice of doing frequent readings can be useful. When a patient is in need of medical support, this support may be something they depend on but is not necessarily compulsive. Some factors in advising your clients as to the frequency of sessions with you are things like personal boundaries, what they are see as support, and the type of advice being sought. What has worked for me is to have clients look at two things: First, the level of support they feel they need and secondly, their budget. If I feel clients are crossing boundaries, a discussion takes place. You are able to set necessary boundaries from the outset of your client-reader relationship. If your reading style or preference is to not read for a querent too frequently, just inform them ahead of time. Happy readings!
