I remember back in 1991 I discovered the art of reading cards. However my interest in Tarot cards started much earlier than that. I became fascinated when I had my first ever card reading. My sceptical side struggled to take in the information I was being given. All because it was really accurate.

I guess that threw me into a real wobble. I had been persuaded by a friend to go along to a local psychic. So I was very up tight, hardly saying yes or no and rather shocked at what she was saying. It was as if I was an open book she could read. It unnerved me for quite a while so I pushed that first experience to the back of my mind. Where it sat for quite a long time. Until I was ready to explore card reading for a different perspective. When I wanted to learn how to read them for myself. My interest had been sparked by a friend who was learning to read cards herself. So I got a book and a pack of ordinary playing cards to make my first attempt at getting information about me.

It’s safe to say that I have come a long way from those first stumbling steps. I have lots of packs of all sorts of cards. I love how they respond to the questions I ask. Enjoy the insights they give me. And appreciate they are always positive about my ability to deal with the issues in my life. Today I did a series of card readings at a local shop. Nearly every person who came was having their first card reading. As they reacted in surprise to the accuracy of what they were hearing I thought about my reaction all those years ago. I understood how mystical it can seem. So I was delighted that my cards, trusty friends, brought so much positive energy into the readings.

Of course it’s been a long time since my first reading for someone else. I now know the why and how of card readings. However I still enjoy the ‘magic’ of a successful reading. Because I hope, like it did for me, that it will inspire another person to get curious about Tarot and Oracle cards. Perhaps, one day, they will pick up a pack and decide to give card reading a go. And open up to the wonderful support and guidance that this particular psychic technique can provide.
