Many psychics use Tarot cards when reading for clients. Tarot decks consist of 78 cards. To begin the reading, the psychic will often have the client shuffle the deck to put their energy into it. Then, the reader will lay out the cards and begin the session. The cards work in tandem with the reader’s psychic ability. The energy coming in psychically activates the cards which then reinforce the energy.
One reader explained that he can do readings just using Tarot cards. Or, he can do readings just using psychic ability. However, when he uses both the cards and his abilities, the readings are better. His Guides influence the cards so that they reinforce the messages he receives.
Tarot cards provide pictures for everyone to view at the same time. The psychic and the client both see what is happening.
In addition, cards provide a barrier between readers and clients, so that the readers can maintain their personal space. The cards also provide a nice distraction from the intensity of the reading.
Tarot cards often help the client feel more comfortable. Some clients don’t like to think that a psychic is reading their mind. When Tarot cards are used, it seems as if the information comes from the cards and is just being interpreted by the psychic; not like the psychic is directly accessing the client’s energy or information.
Here are a few thoughts from the psychics about Tarot cards:
☼ I like to use Tarot cards. I like the visual images. I like the stories. I am very visual. When I do a Tarot card reading, I do a general reading which includes work, life, relationships, and the house they came from. Then the client and I discuss their priorities, problems and goals; slowly we move towards those goals. (Shirli Millmond)
☼ I like the cards because I have a trust issue. I like having the cards between me and the other person. I am a very emotional person and I cry. I like having the cards in between us so that I can stay out of it. I just say what comes to me. In addition, the cards open up things. I see the cards, get ideas from the cards, and then things open up. I tell people what I see. I also get a feeling about it, an atmosphere. I am picking up the energy surrounding things. I will sometimes get flashes of something which mean nothing to me, but might mean something to someone else. (Marta Taylor)
☼ I typically read cards for people. They are called Shustah Divination and Meditation cards and they are similar to Tarot cards. Shustah Cards have the same philosophy as Tarot cards, but they are a different deck with different pictures and numbers. In order to read the cards, I have the person shuffle the deck so that their energy is in the cards. I work with energy. If they have a specific question, I ask them to focus on that question. If they want a more-general reading, I ask them to focus on their breath and relax so that they don’t get nervous. Once they give the cards back to me, I spread several of them out in a crescent moon shape. Then I read the cards. The cards trigger something in me and they give the client something to look at. I also like having cards to look at. If I did a five-card spread, the client would be the center card, with half of their cards in the past, and half in the future. Then, it triggers a story or an event and I just have to tell the client whatever comes to me. (Gina Stanfill)
☼ I use Mah Jongg cards. I have done Tarot card readings and I have a collection of card decks. Decades ago, I started with the Tarot cards and found that they had many layers of meaning and symbolism. When I started collecting cards, I found the Mah Jongg cards. I changed my focus to the Mah Jongg cards because they provide more-immediate information and that is what most people want. They reflect the here and now without going into a lot of esoteric information. I have also worked with the Akashic Records. (Marta Taylor)
☼ I use Tarot cards for the person I am reading, not for me. People feel more comfortable if there is something they can look at. Or I can just open the calendar, lay it down, and read the calendar. However, when I just sit down and read people, it freaks people out because they don’t have to say anything in order for me to read them. They can bring me somebody’s name on a folded pieced of paper, or a photograph, and I can tell them about the person and about the things that have happened in that person’s life without ever seeing the person, without having the person near me. People don’t have a frame of reference for what I do. That’s why I use the Tarot cards. People think that the cards are saying something, but they have no idea how much extra I am getting.
One of the difficult things when I do a reading is telling the difference between “spirit time” and “people time.” There is no time over there and there is time here. In spirit time, “soon” could be anything from tomorrow until three months from now. With the Tarot cards, I can be very precise about time. The cards makes it easier for the person being read. (Cherie Fraine)
☼ I use Tarot cards because the public likes cards. I can also work with stones which people have carried with them or held. I shuffle the cards until Spirit tells me to stop shuffling, then I interpret the cards the way Spirit wants me to interpret them – I just listen. The cards help organize the reading and the thoughts. I can also read shells and use a crystal ball. When I use the crystal ball, I see things in it. I get messages through the crystal ball. I can also do sand readings. I place my hand on the sand to get vibrations and then I sprinkle colored sand on top and do readings. (Jan Class)
☼ Sometimes when I do a reading I use Tarot cards. I can use the cards but, because I am clairvoyant, I don’t need to use them. The cards are a tool, but I don’t know what half the cards mean! Even when I use the cards, I ask Spirit to help me to step aside so they can work through me. I ask my Spirit Guides and angels to talk to the client’s Guides and angels so that I can help them for their highest good for whatever reason they came to see me. I hold their hands for a moment and feel their energy, then I look at the cards and (in my head) I ask Spirit what they want to tell me. I step out of the way, then I hear the message and I tell the client. After that, I move on to the next card. Sometimes it’s about the future and sometimes it’s about the past or the present. Sometimes I will receive a message from a loved one. Often, I receive self-help tools to give to the client. I am activating people and helping them with their life’s purpose. (Denise Singerline)
☼ When I shuffle Tarot cards and lay them out, I am not really using the cards. The cards are an excuse for me to tell people something. People are less prone to be offended when I use the cards and tell them the truth, than when I just tell them what I know. (Erik Assman)
☼ The imagery on the cards can sometimes trigger information and bypass the rational mind. It’s a tool. I rarely use the tools anymore, but they are always here just in case I need them. Once in a while, I use the reference materials. (To-Ree’-Nee’ Wolf)
One psychic who had traveled the country noted that people around the country wanted different kinds of readings. San Franciscans wanted “woo-woo” readings. New Yorkers wanted job and career readings. Other places were more practical.
