[lepleadian]

HELLO people, i have something to ask you...i have a recently thought how actually tarot works,,,it is strange how you pull a card which points your situation,,,there are cards in the deck...why that card?
And something else...i have been thinking also that tarot readers are special people...there is something in us that is differet from other people...i have no idea what is...some people say to read the future is prohibited and dont believe them or like the cards are controlled by genies or devil and i have been so curious since a kid....i never knew how to explain this phenomenon

We Are Everyday People

There is nothing special about people who read Tarot cards. Anyone can use Tarot to learn to understand intuition better, and to understand their own thought processes and behavior.

Some people have fewer barriers to accessing their own intuition. Some people spend more time learning about symbolism. Some people spend more time learning to phrase their insights in ways that other people understand.

But anyone who takes the time can improve their skills in those areas. We can all tap the collective unconsciousness, learn to trust our feelings, and learn to understand people and relationships better.

actually yes you are right BUT you know the attraction is not the same i mean not everybody likes them while there are other who would be attracted just by the first reading somebody would do to them

Your Mileage May Vary

Or "horses for courses". Or "different strokes for different folks". Or "more than one way to skin a cat".

Do all your friends wear exactly the same clothes or do some of them have preferences for different styles?

Do all your friends like exactly the same foods or do some of them have likes and dislikes that are different from yours.

Do all your friends like exactly the same music or do some of them like stuff you don't like?

Do all your friends like exactly the same artists?
Do all your friends like exactly the same writers?
Do all your friends study exactly the same classes?
Do all your friends use their left hand to write?

When you can explain human variation and preferences, then perhaps you'll have the answer to your question.

There are many ways this can be explained. Random chance could not be random in all cases, and so Spirit or some other force ensures the exact physical steps required to pull the card necessary.

It can be as easily explained as all people are part of a collective consciousness in the universe, and are thus capable of pulling the cards necessary to facilitate the message being conveyed, and intuition can play a role - what if you pull a 2 of cups instead of 10 of swords? You could still sense and convey the required message despite it not aligning with traditional card meanings.

How to know if an interpretation is the right one?

I just joined this site yesterday. In my exploration, I found the Free Reading section and decided to try the one where you think of a question and click the link.

I asked what direction should I take my craft business? Things have been feeling scattered and Not Right for quite a while.

So I clicked and got...the Death card.

My first reaction was end the business? My next was the business will come to a natural end? My last was the business will end when I do, i.e., die?

As a reader, is the first impression usually correct? Or can the answer change upon further study? If I could get past this sort of thing, I would be a better reader.

If this belongs in a different thread, please let me know. Thanks!
