Don’t give up your free will by asking a reader what to do.

Asking advice and asking someone to tell you what to do are two very different things. No matter what the cards say you are in charge of your life. If the reader is too quick to tell you what to do and offer the components like additional spells, candles and ritual work, take note. It is not their responsibility to “fix” a situation or problem. That responsibility is, and always will belong to you. An ethical reader never wants you to become dependant on them. A tarot reading is a valuable tool used to give you perspective and to give you information and resources. You get to be the architect.

Don’t ask about things that are not your business.

Unless it is about you - or you are part of the solution, it is best to leave those questions alone. If you must ask then restrict yourself to only asking what you can do, how you can bring change for the highest good of all parties.

Ask if the Reader offers gift certificates.

This is a wonderful resource and so often overlooked! Some people are difficult to buy for, a tarot reading is a wonderful gift for the person who has everything, or who is difficult to buy for. They make great gifts for those celebrating an engagement, a baby shower, an anniversary, a birthday, or a wonderful Christmas gift!!

If something feels “off” or wrong listen

to your intuition.

That is your heart and soul speaking to you;

it will not lie to you.

If you are told you are

under a curse, or the reader is

losing their “psychic connection” and

needs more money to continue take note.
