Thank you for sharing such wonderful information, Amythyst. On Friday night I was speaking to a person who has a PhD in transpersonal therapy about how hard it was for her to find information on chakras with tarot - here it was the whole time!

To clarify, when you ask for single spaces between sentences and double spaces between paragraphs, do you mean like this?: "First sentence of paragraph one. Second sentence of paragraph one. [4 lines between paragraphs] First sentence of paragraph two. Second sentence of paragraph two." or... "First sentence of paragraph one. Second sentence of paragraph one. [2 lines between paragraphs] First sentence of paragraph two. Second sentence of paragraph two." Basically, do you want 'double spaced' documents or 'single spaced' documents (for the purpose of this final question I'm pretending that we're all using manual typewriters)?

Aren't these experiences delightful! Unfortunately, there are people that come to you for a reading who have already decided it's a load of bulldust before their butt touches the chair. Two things will happen: 1) They will deny everything you say despite the fact they're trembling on the inside; or 2) You will draw a set of cards that mirror the client's present attitude. The cards will fight each other and refuse to cooperate. This can turn into one of those "sorry, I'm not getting anything so there's no charge for the reading" moments. John is so right in saying we should be prepared for as many types of readings as possible. Multiple spreads, multiple decks, multiple hairdos - whatever you feel will help. You should also be prepared that the question that comes from the client's mouth isn't always the question in their heart. The bottom line is that if the client is being evasive with their reason for coming to you, the cards will reflect this. The challenge for the reader is to see this as a sign to be more open and inviting to the client. Showing any sign of frustration will close the energy loop faster than you can say "please, take a seat."

Of course! Option 1: buy more thrusters. Option 2: Pick your first daily 'you' card later in the day. Option 3: Pick a new card whenever you feel the old card no longer applies, even if it takes a week for the old card to lose its relevance. There are times when I am utterly appalled at the thought of having to do something every single day. If you're the same, then don't. Do the exercise as often as it feels right, but do try to push yourself out of your comfort zone just a little. The rewards will be greater that way.

I'll drink to that.

If I don't go have a look, I might feel a bit regretsy.

Jet! You read my mind again (or I read yours). Two or three days ago I was trying to think how the Tarot could apply to domestic pets. And here is the answer.

The last ethical pothole is by far the most important.

I know a few old biddies who would lose their dentures over this deck. It's a bit 'bumpy' ;-)

I weighed in but I was too heavy for the Comments box so I've written a post instead! :o)
