I have always read for myself.. it was almost like a secret that I kept to myself probably because of my upbringing.. and it would probably seem fey to people in my life. But I have always loved tarot cards since my first deck. It has been part of my life ever since and have had few different decks over the years. I have read for few of my close friends which they commented that it seemed accurate to what they were going through at the time.
I did once read Coco Chanel also had a tarot deck she always kept at her desk and I found that fascinating.
Recently, that I have started to read for others.. I have realized how much I enjoy it and love it.
If I do persue counseling/therapy path as a career. I would probably incorporate it into my sessions.
I have had some terrible, awful experience with those psychics from the streets when I lived in a major city. They seemed to prey on me for some reason.. they always told me I had an evil spirit and for couple hundred dollars.. they would remove it for me. So I am skeptical at times.. but I also had amazing tarot readers too. I have had some awful/enlightening/amazing/scary experience with tarot cards.. and I am grateful as a tool to gain clarity and insight. As for fortune telling and predictive readings.. I am not entirely convinced although I have been working with timing questions for curiosity sake.. but I am also a believer we give power to whatever we believe in.
