My Thoughts and Opinions

Today's Mystikal Lenormand Layout

There are many ways to read this Spread.. Trust in how you choose to read it . This is one variation ...  Let us begin  by looking at the centre card 1) The Rider - News .. there is some news on it's way, what type of News, let's see what the other cards say, to modify the card related to the News ...  We look to the Left and we see Letter - so we know the news may be written .. To the right A Woman - is the written news from a woman or to the woman?    Above The Stars - maybe it is Spiritual  News on some level ...  Underneath - The Bear - Could be related to a Mother or are you the Mother... Is the news in regards to strength or protection on some level ?   Now let's look at the four corners-  The Scythe  With the Rider and the Road  So maybe it is important you let go of something so you can make a decision in regards to the news?   You have Key Rider and Clover ... T he News may be the key to some Good fortune .. ..  Let us look at the

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 other Card readings sim

Understanding the messages within A few of the Cards

Image
Let us begin with the notion that  the cards are ink and paper, created by artists who wish to share a story. The Story developed over time with characters, symbols, colours. Images that allow one to open up within themselves. These are cards that offer both positive and negative aspects of our life.  Each and every card holds both types of messages within them.  I know there are cards like XVI The Tower and XV The Devil  that people gasp at horror and expect negative messages,  X Swords, III Swords are also images that hold people in terror,,, and because of movies  XIII Death  people  think it means Death ....Literal death. In this post I am going to explain the positive messages of these cards.  Let us begin with XII Death... This card only speaks of Transformations, changes, a sense of purification, Spiritual and healing. Letting go of the negative aspects of life and moving into the light (so to speak) , Moving forward as you leave behind the past.   This can be a good

Why Do Readers Read Cards Differently?

Image
Each Deck is so Different .. There are many different Tarot decks designed by many different amazing individuals… Every deck is perfect in it’s own way… Some images speak louder than others, that is because we as readers are all very different, we are individuals that like and are drawn to different artwork… Also our thoughts processors are individualized.  Our perceptions are individualized.  No one sees the same image in the same card. Different colours, characters, symbols stand out for each of us. That is why you will find different Tarot readers deliver the same messages in a different way.  And sometimes it can take awhile to make sense of a reading.. We as Tarot Readers have to interpret what we see… With our experiences in life so different from each other we interpret things quite differently… I understand there are suggestions in how we read Tarot and there are basic keywords ,  trying to memorise what someone else sees can drive one crazy… I find what works for one re

Why I Promote Other Readers and Mentors?

Image
I often get asked from Clients Why I promote other Readers/Healers and Mentors?  Aren't we in competition with each other? Wouldn't I want to keep all the client's myself? The Short Answer , well maybe not quite so short... Take a moment to know We as Readers, Healers and Mentors are all very different, we share some similarities but there are also many differences in how we read, teach Tarot. What systems we use if any? Whether we read with Intuition or Card meanings directly? We are all very different.... Now look at the  people in your vicinity, in your home town,   Could One Tarot Reader  do everyone's reading?  Now Look at your Region, County, State  ? Ok think now  of your Country..... What about How many people in the World want Tarot, Oracle, Lenormand or other Divination Tools in their Reading? I do not offer everything.... so another Reader may suit better... Then think about each of us has something else we may bring to the table, another Divi
