How I Connect With The Cards...

The Way I Connect with the Cards, the messages as individuals for each person. Knowing that each person is so different from another... I understand that everyone is different, All Readers read differently. They may use tools or no  tools . They may use Cards, Runes, I-Ching, Tea-leaves, palms and crystals.. You may even find a reader that connects with jewelry. There are so many ways a reader will read for a client. Even card readers read differently from each other, Some use Tarot, Oracle, or even Lenormand Cards, Others will use playing cards, they use specifically for Readings. You may find some readers read the cards to set meanings and others use them as Gateways to connect with their Spirit Guide to receive individual messages.  There is no One Correct way. There are no blanket rules in regards to how a reader should read.  You may find some readers connect to the Angels and Archangels before and during the reading.  You may find  Tarot and...

My Thoughts re the Word Fortune

Image
Fortune  1- Chance or luck as an arbitrary force affecting human affairs.  Synonyms: chance, accident, coincidence, serendipity, twist of fate, destiny, fortuity, providence, freak, hazard....  For me when we speak of fortune Teller, this is someone who speaks of someone's wealth, prosperity in all aspects of life, this is someone who uses Cards or some other divination tool to speak of sone's fate, destiny in regard to someone's fortune. What hazards lie ahead, what is of chance in one's life, the accidents, the coincidences of one's path. The serendipity and freaky things that have happened, is happening or could happen on one's journey.  Yes, it can speak of money and riches, abundance and bounty when someone has fortune in their life, good luck can also be emotional richness, Spiritual richness, intellectual richness and even the troubles, the bad luck, the things that do not seem to go the right way, it comes in many ways to our lives.  Fortune Tellers is n...
