Having joined Biddy Tarot' free tarot readings I eagerly waited for my first questions, I had hummed and harred about how many to do and how often, in the end I played it safe - 3 requests on a Friday would give me the weekend to do the readings and give me plenty of time to send them to those requesting the readings.
So there I was Friday eagerly and nervously waiting for my three reading requests to pop up, well one did then an hour or two later the second and then after another wait, almost bedtime, the third.
Well as I said the plan was to do the readings over the weekend but events over the weekend over took me and I didn't do the reading until Tuesday night while my partner was conveniently out.
Three reading, all from ladies, all about relationships, I wasn't that surprised.
So how did it go?
Reading 1] Will we get back together and, and, and.
I had so much come into my head while reading the question and because of that, plus the multifaceted nature of the question I felt a three card spread wouldn't do it, so I went for the Celtic Cross. Now I've done the Celtic Cross a number of times before but in a book, I found a slightly different Celtic Cross spread that also included a very helpful section that listed out the meanings of each card in each position of the spread, so if THE HERMIT was in position 1 it meant X and if it was in position 2 it meant Y.
Was I going to cheat, no, my plan was to do the reading then see how it compared with the book. Now plans are OK if you perfect and prepare them, I did the reading, I picked up the book and oh, the book only worked with the Major Acarna, I had worked with the full deck.
This reading took me over an hour to do and was mentally tiring, Biddy Tarot you had warned us as much in the Starters Kit.
2] After a rest it was time for reading two - Whats going to happen in the next three month, will I get back with my ex or a new partner.
For this reading I stayed away from the Celtic Cross and decided on the three card spread, but wasn't happy it would cover the question fully, so I drew six cards for two spread, one about the people and relationship and one to cover the time scale, one card for each month.
3] The final reading was the hardest, the question was straight forward enough, from a woman with a child, the husband had left for another woman, was other woman still in the picture, would the husband return.
I did a three card spread, which indicated that the marriage was probably over, that even if the other woman was not around anymore the husband had other interests that would keep him away from the family.
The crux was that this lady lives abroad, her husband leaving her and her becoming in effect a single mum, meant that because of the culture she lives in, she was now basically an outcast and not eligible to form another relationship, even if she wanted to.
The hard part of giving the reading was - do you gloss it up to give her hope without giving her false hopes or do you tell it as it is.
Fortunately although I couldn't feel if the husband would return, within two of the cards there was a glimmer of hope that something would pan out for this lady.
The two 3 card readings took about half an hour each and weren't so draining as the first reading. I enjoyed doing them and I learnt a lot, especially about forgetting what the books say and trusting what you feel instead.
It's Friday again and I am just waiting on the next three requests and with a bit better time management I may just get them done over the weekend.
Oh were my readings any good, I'll let you know when I get the feedback back from the ladies
