I got a professional reading done the other night. This is how it when:
I sat down, and was asked to take a series of deep breaths with my eyes closed. I was asked to picture a rainbow, and one color was leaving the group, and then wrapped itself in a bow around my heart (and to remember the color), then I was asked to picture a group of numbers 1 through 10, and to remember what # stood out.
Then I was told to open my eyes and roll 3 odd shaped clear dice that had symbols on them.
Then she laid out , face down, three sets of different decks, (each deck in three piles). I was asked to chose 2 decks.
Then I was asked to close my eyes, and think of a question or questions I would like answered. I heard HER shuffle the deck(s) 7 times.
Then she laid out the first deck, about 7 cards in a row (going up) and then the other deck had cards on either side.
So she used 2 decks for one spread.
She would occasionaly take cards from the deck and place then over the cards on the table.
At one point I know I got to chose a card when she fanned a deck.
Then with the cards face down (in the spread already) I was told to pick any card, she told me what hand to use each time.
I was never told the significance of that.
She didn't say anything like:
this person, or that person is, or someone is coming into your life, or this person is doing this or that, or mention hair color, etc....
She didn't explain each card, or groups of cards together.
She proceded to tell me about how to heal my inner child, and to tape a rose quatz to my chest, and about a couple of different meditations to get what I want (in life). Which I have been doing both for quite some time. My question was how to over come the obstacles.
It was an hour long.
She's a professional reader, and has a book out. I didn't the session. I got to record it. I didn't get anything out of it.
My friend had a reading with her, and my friend said that this woman listens to her spirit guides.
Well then, why bother to use the cards?
And what's up with the dice, and not telling me what she got from me rolling them on the table? And the rainbow~ that must be the Chakra colors, and of course the color you choose could be indicative of what you need to work on, right? But all she said was this helps her know what's going on with me.
And why didn't I get to shuffle the decks?
And, I never heard of combining 2 decks in the same spread.
I got lots of court cards; queens and kings!!!! I got lots of high #'s in swords, and low #'s in pentacles. I can only remember a few.
Anyone have any thoughts about this to share?
I get more from drawing my own cards, and from having people her exchange readings with me!!!!
