I was just pondering this the other day, and thought I'd give it a shot. What the heck, might as well try, right? I've liked this one guy for a year, and suddenly he came out, told me he liked me too, and we became boyfriend and girlfriend. *shriek* My first time, so I've been asking alot of questions like, "What's going on with Matt?" "How are things going to go with Matt and I?" and ect. Pitiful. :P Point of Thread: He's been in a mood and quite out of touch, so I figured I'd do a reading for him... only, he wouldn't be present and he wouldn't even know I was doing it. What I asked was, "What is going on in Matt's mind, and what will go on in his mind and life?" or something like that. Wel, I got an UNBELIEABLY clear read, told me he was having a rough time but he'd be alright in the end, and that he was actually going to get a little money in the future (his job is supposed to kick into high gear in spring, so I don't doubt it). I also pulled a three-card to see how I could help him through this thing, and that was just as clear as the reading has been! So... is it really possible? Can you do a reading for a person that's far away, WITHOUT their consent? I realize now, of course, I probaby shouldn't have done it... but I didn't think it would work very well. Besides, he's not against tarot (I don't think... I've brought it up in conversation and he was just kinda like, "Oh. Tarot. Interesting.") Just wondering if you guys have ever had similiar experience. *Don't yell at me too much, I know I shouldn't have read without asking!* :( ~Fairawen~

I do it a lot, actually. Just to see where the flow of the people I care about is. If I know someone's having a bad time, even if they don't say anything, I can be there for them in some way to make things better. Or if there might be a problem between us, I can root it out. Recently I did a quickie for a friend that told me he never thought he'd love again. The reading showed he was wrong, so I adamently told him as much, without mentioning any divination, and he thanked me for the confidence it gave him to hear it. It's a part of how I've incorperated it into my life. Are there possible moral objections? I can see that, but I'm not poking through a diary or eavesdropping, I'm using a gift to aid my relationships and daily life.
