CUSTOM TAROT CARD READING
In this interaction, Yours Truly (AKA The Editor) will help you understand your subconscious desires and fears by way of the ancient art of tarot card reading. Yours Truly is not much of a hippie and does not believe the cards are magic; she can not foresee the future. Rather, the cards are a way of helping you acknowledge and better understand your own feelings, personality, desires, challenges, mistakes, etc. As you work through your reading, you should be alive to whatever gut reactions you have, either to a card itself or to what Yours Truly is saying about a card. These gut reactions and realizations comprise the actual “magic” of a tarot reading. Jungian psychologists use the cards as a means of tricking the subconscious into revealing itself! This is a type of wizardry, yes, but not of the crystals and incense variety (although you are welcome to burn incense during this time).
HOW IT WORKS
- You will first paypal $10 to may23rd2007@yahoo.com (or email for alternatives, if you have no paypal). Then, you will sit quietly and meditate on whatever it is you would like the cards to help you figure out.
- When you have finished sending your thoughts into the cosmos, you will write Yours Truly an email telling her whatever you are comfortable telling her about the dimensions of your situation. Do you have a specific question or problem you’re mulling over? Do you have a choice to make? Do you just want some general insight and guidance into where you are at this time in your life? Be as clear and specific as you can, because the nature of your query will determine what kind of spread Yours Truly chooses to do.
- Within a day or two of receiving your email (unless she is on vacation or under a terrible grading deadline), Yours Truly will pull the cosmic vibes you put into the universe into her deck of cards, and lay out a spread for your specific concern or question.
- You will then receive a tasteful, extensive narrative of your spread and its interpretation. Yours Truly believes the cards are open to multiple readings, and so she is always careful to give you different takes on each card/spread, so that you can decide which one feels most helpful to you.
Yours Truly uses the classic Rider-Waite deck. All requests for alternative decks, such as the Book of Thoth or those circular goddess cards, will not be honored.
Satisfied Customers
“I prompted Yours Truly’s reading with just a few lines of relatively surface-level personal backstory, even though I had larger thoughts on my mind and was too shy to ask about them any more directly.
Her response was so intensely probing and dead-on that I haven’t yet been able to really deal with it.
And the very best part is that, layered on top of the Ancient Wisdom of the Tarot is her incredibly personable voice of practical wisdom. Like a good friend urging you to take it seriously, but not like, too seriously. It was one of the best readings I’ve ever had.”
-Marcus, Startup CEO
“I had difficulty properly framing my question, and gave Yours Truly a handful of thoughts that were mostly filtered through a haze of fear. Unperturbed, she proceeded to cut right through all my b.s. with a clarifying and remarkably tender reading.
Not only did it address the things I thought I was asking, it addressed related questions that I didn’t know how to ask.
True, we know each other, but her readings do not play on a friend’s sympathy- they yield what they yield, and are infused with a sympathy for fellow humans and all their their pitiful and wonderful ideas. One of my favorite things about her interpretation of the cards is her unwillingness to kowtow to simplified ideas regarding cards that are seen as very positive or very negative. Dead man with swords in his back? Not so bad! Everything has a carefully considered context. She is a wise old man.”
