Tarot
Come in, sit down. The candles are lit and the deck is waiting.
Before we begin, what shall I call you?
A reading is personal. The reader speaks to you by name, the way a reader at a real table would.
Welcome, .
What brings you to the cards today?
Knowing the area of your life helps the reader see each card in the right light. The Two of Cups means one thing for a romance and another for a business partnership.
Is there a question on your heart?
Hold it in your mind while I shuffle. Open questions work best: "What should I understand about…" rather than "Will I…"
Tarot doesn't predict a fixed future. It reflects the forces around a question so you can choose well. That's why "how" and "what" questions get richer answers than yes or no.
How deep shall we look?
A spread is the pattern the cards are laid in. Each place in it asks its own question.
In a real shuffle some cards end up upside down. A reversed card's energy is blocked, delayed, or turned inward. Most readers include them; turn this off for a gentler, simpler reading.
