Charging for Tarot Readings, and an exclusive offer!

You may not know already, it hasn't yet been advertised, but Tarot-Explained now offer Tarot readings, through fiverr. It's taken a long time for us to get to this stage, and there has been a lot to consider. We started offering free readings through the website, and the response was staggering. Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone who submitted a request through. It helped me grow as a reader and I hope I helped you too. Changing from free to paid was a step, but necessary. The funds raised go towards the website maintenance and hosting, and in future will be used to better expand Tarot-Explained into an even better resource. The journey from reference website to paid readings was long, almost three years, and some lessons were learned! This article might help you out if you're an experienced reader just looking to start reading for others, and wondering if you should get paid. The answer is, broadly speaking, yes. Consider the following if you are looking to charge for your tarot readings:

It's a service

You're providing a service for others, which they have requested. You know you are offering value to them, and you should be compensated somehow. It's fun to do tarot as a favour for friends or family, but you can really help others out with your skills and intuition. It may not seem like a big deal to some, but performing a tarot reading is a lot of work. When I perform a reading through fiverr, I spent anywhere from an hour onward getting into the correct mental state, and typing up and presenting the reading to the querent. This is a lot of effort for five dollars!  

How good are you?

You should consider your skill level with tarot. How good do you think you are, how accurate have you been in the past? Have you had any big mistakes? A good test, is to see if you would pay for a reading from yourself. Would you? Are you value for money? Are you enhancing others lives through tarot? If so, then you should consider charging for your readings.  

How much to charge?

This all depends on your style, analysis and spread that you use. On fiverr, we only offer a single card question, or three questions if the user upgrades. Bear in mind that  these can take over an hour each. Are you comfortable earning under minimum wage for a reading? I am, because the money goes to help the website. If you're looking to live off your readings, you should work out expenses and charge much more. I perform these readings simply to cover cost.  

How to present a reading?

Currently, we offer a reading in a written document. A stylised page, typed up after the reading has taken place. You can take this one step further by performing face to face, over Skype, during a phone call, or a recorded video. All of these will affect your pricing. Consider charging for your next tarot reading, even if it is as little as one dollar, or for a favour. They are asking, and you are giving. It makes sense to balance the equation out. If you're interested in getting a reading from Tarot-Explained, then by all means follow the link below and you will hear from me very soon!  

Exclusive offer for readers of this post!

Receive a two-card reading for the price of only one. Simply ask two questions, and I will consult the tarot for your answers. You will receive a formatted PDF document with the results of the reading, potentially including things to be aware of, dangers to look out for and how to face the future with certainty. This offer is only available for the next thirty days, follow the 'order now' button to submit a request.

Hallowe'en updates!

It's Halloween again, arguably the best time of the year. Last year, we introduced a Halloween spread for you all to try out. If you weren't here for it, give it a go this Halloween! Tarot-Explained.com has seen a number of updates recently, so we'll summarise them in this post. Sometimes a written definition isn't enough for a tarot card description. Maybe it doesn't seem relevant enough or fit just right. We've started adding keywords to each card description, starting with all of the Major Arcana. You can find them on the card description pages, near the bottom. Sometimes a keyword can help more than a given description, it gives you a different perspective and a more open starting place to draw connections from. Soon, all of the cards will have keywords attached. We've also drawn up a road map of new features to add to each card; symbology, astrological ties and card connections to name a few. It's exciting to work on and I've loved seeing this site grow. In January, Tarot-Explained will be three years old! Thanks for sticking around, and thanks for the nice comments I'm receiving through email. All the best.

Tarot in popular culture : A really brief introduction to Alejandro Jodorowsky’s ‘The Holy Mountain’

Happy Autumn, and now that the autumn equinox has passed, it's all downhill from here! I'm only joking. Autumn is a time to calm down and start finishing the things you started earlier in the year. In this case, I wanted to write about tarot in popular culture months ago, and I've only really just gotten around to it.  To start with, we'll briefly discuss the tarot symbolism of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s ‘The Holy Mountain’.

If you are one for spotting hidden symbolism and meanings, the Alejandro Jodorowsky’s ‘The Holy Mountain’ is a brilliant film to watch. Tarot plays a prominent role in the film both as an element of the story as well as clearly inspiring the designs of the characters. To try and actually describe The Holy Mountain is difficult; as a surrealist film the narrative is rather disjointed and sometimes difficult to watch, but it's sprinkled with extremely memorable scenes which you'll think about for days.

In the above scene, The Alchemist character uses the tarot deck as an allegorical tool of transformation for the story of the fool figure, whom eventually grows into a Christ-like figure, following the journey of the fool. The meaning of the Magician card and Hermetic concepts are described effortlessly in one line, with the bull and the vulture. This is one of the earlier scenes in the film, and forms a basis for the following story, introducing ten characters that are all essentially aspects of the whole main character.

Alejandro Jodorowsky still studies the tarot; ( he wrote a book on it ) and saw it differently to how it is usually portrayed. Not happy with the tarots use as a divination tool, he treated it more as a psychological aid. Interestingly, he combine cards in order to better understand them. Jodorowsky considers only one deck to be pure, the Tarot de Marseille, and all others to be derivative, each new tarot deck release losing the original meaning of the cards, until you end up with something like a tarot deck based off a TV show. It's true that this opinion is shared by many, but as with many aspects of tarot, there is no objective truth. In future we'll be looking at more tarot inspired films, music and books!  Have you read a book or seen a good film that features Tarot symbology? Comment below!

Should I consult the Tarot for finance?

I recently read an article on the telegraph about the financial situation in Italy, and how many are now consulting the tarot to get a glimpse of their potential financial future. In this case, the situation has gotten so bad that people are turning to Tarot and other divinationary methods to try and find hope in what looks like a bleak future. It seems around a quarter of Italians re now using the services of Tarot readers and other similar practitioners. For any country, that's quite a lot! Is this a good idea though?

When should you use Tarot to predict your finances?

You should treat the Tarot as a message form something greater than you; the Universe. You don't necessarily have to bend to the will of the messages presented, they are just given as a potential outcome if you continue what you are doing. If you draw a good card in relation to finances, say, The Ace of Pentacles, you should always analyse it yourself rather than take it at face value. You may very likely have to put some action in place to make this eventuality come around. Have you been losing money hand over fist recently? Don't expect this to change if you don't change. The important part here is the free will you possess. Even though it might feel like it, life isn't a roller-coaster than you are strapped into. You are driving, and you can choose to go the wrong direction that your sat-nav takes you. Take the advice of the tarot cards and use them if they feel they will help you, and this applies to any aspect of your life. If you are having trouble with your finances; Money is mundane, so a more mundane approach is likely going to be more useful than a spiritual one. Divide your expenses into wants and needs and then analyse it. Are your needs actually needs, or are they just disguised wants? You'll be surprised how easy it is to save money and fix financial problems if you can see the benefit and overall positive impact that comes from sacrifice.

Stichomancy - Tarot Explained

Stichomancy - Enhance your tarot reading

Tarot is a great divinatory tool as we all know. What you may not know is that it can be combined with so many other magical and divination methods and techniques.  Stichomancy is the art of divination through interpreting seemingly randomly chosen words.

Can I perform Stichomancy?

Yes, anyone can do it, and it makes a great addition to any tarot reading! You simply think of a question, open a book at random , close your eyes and put your finger down on the page. The sentence you put your finger on should answer your question! Let's look into how to perform a Stichomancy reading in depth.  

How do I perform a Stichomancy reading?

Find a book which you believe to contain truth. Traditionally religious texts were used but you can choose a book that you feel drawn to or have a connection with

Clear your mind and think of a question you wish to ask, focus on the question

Close your eyes and hold the book by it's spine

Allow the book to fall open on any page

With your eyes still closed, place your finger on the page

Open your eyes and read the sentence that your finger has fallen on

Understand the sentence and interpret it in relation to your question

Stichomancy is a lesser known divination technique but has actually been in use for over 3000 years. Sometimes it is called Bibliomancy. There are many methods of performing a reading but the steps above are a good place to start from. You can use it in a reading in many ways. For yourself, Stichomancy can give you another valuable insight into your initial question in a wider way than a single card or spread of cards can. For others, Stichomancy is a fun and easy to understand technique. It almost turns divination into a fun game! Give Stichomancy a try in your next reading and let us know how you got on. Comment below or visit out Facebook page to discuss Stichomancy along with Tarot!

Popular Tarot cards - The Lovers

There are quite a few cards that are the most searched for on Tarot-Explained.com. This can't be a chance thing, surely all the cards would appear equally? The Lovers is one of the most searched for cards on Tarot-Explained, and has been for over two years now, but what is it about this card that remains so popular? What is it about this specific card that makes it one of the most iconic and well known tarot cards?

Why is The Lovers so popular?

One of the biggest aspects of our lives are our relationships; romantic, platonic and familial. Love plays an important aspect in our lives, especially when considering our desires. Many people wish to be loved when they aren't, and many wish to see where their current relationships will go. The Lovers is probably the most obvious and striking tarot card when it comes to Love, so it isn't surprising that we all want to know the best definition of The Lovers to get an accurate tarot card reading.

What can we learn from The Lovers?

A very important aspect of all our lives should be healthy balance. The Lovers stresses this duality; woman and man, left and right, tree of knowledge and tree of life. An unhealthy life is one which is too far gone in one direction. This may be why in some decks 'The Lovers' is called 'The Twins'. If you are seeing a particular aspect of your life which you are unhappy with, try to see things from a different perspective; is there imbalance in any way? Are you spending too much time on others and not yourself, or vice versa? To read more about The Lovers tarot card, click here

Tarot reading for yourself

Doing a tarot reading for yourself can seem quite daunting; how do you know you aren't going to be biased and interpret the cards wrong, especially if you're considering a reading for the future. There are a few things to keep in mind when doing a tarot reading for yourself to ensure that you take the most unbiased answer that the cards are giving you. In the following post I'm going to detail some ways you can use tarot alone, as well as some mistakes to avoid!

Starting out tarot reading for yourself

It's best to start simple when you read tarot cards for yourself. A single card spread can be an exciting new addition to your daily life when you are unsure what to do for example. Just draw a card and treat it as a friend giving you advice. You don't even have to take the advice if you don't want to, just consider the possibility and go with it if it sounds good. There, you've successfully performed a tarot reading alone. Well done! Moving on, you can start to perform a more complex reading for yourself as you would for somebody else. This is where things can get difficult, so watch out for the following mistakes!

Mistakes

Doing more than one reading for the same question

I think we're all guilty of this, you keep dealing a new spread until you get the answer that you want. This isn't going to work at all! You may as well choose the cards yourself if this is what you do. Remember to be strict with yourself here, it's only the first spread that will work as it should, any others will have too much of your personal influence.

Bending the meanings of the cards

It's no use to just interpret the cards in a whole new way just because you want them to. This ties in with the above. Don't ignore the reading if it isn't the result you want. Use the spread to understand why it isn't giving you the right answer. The results of the tarot spread are just symptoms, but the actual worldly events occurring in the background are the cause. Changing the meanings of the cards will not change anything!

Performing a reading in the wrong state of mind

You have to be clear and level headed when you perform a tarot reading. It's tempting to perform a tarot reading for yourself when you're in a very low state in order to see a good potential outcome in the future but i wouldn't advise this at all. If you don't get the answer you seek it could push you even lower. Perform tarot readings only when you can deal with a bad outcome.

Final thoughts

Tarot reading for yourself is as good a skill to learn as reading for others, and is good practice when you have nobody else to read for. Performing a daily or weekly reading will help you learn the card meanings if you're still in the process of learning. If you're a more advanced student, then it'll keep you fresh and you'll learn how the cards connect. The more readings you perform, the more connections and relations you'll see between the cards. If you've performed a tarot card reading for yourself recently, leave a comment below and tell us what happened!

The most frequently asked Tarot questions - answered!

Quite often I check the Tarot-Explained inbox and I get a lot of similar questions. I felt a helpful post here would benefit everyone with the most popular asked Tarot questions. Some of them may seem a bit silly if you've been practicing Tarot or are at least knowledgeable in it. Luckily, many of these tarot questions are answered around the site, so nice helpful links are provided.  

What is tarot?

Tarot is a complex form of divination using cards adapted from playing cards. There are usually two people involved,the tarot reader and the person asking for the reading (sometimes referred to as the Querent, from the Latin 'to seek'). The reader will deal and arrange cards  into a pattern, called a spread. Each tarot card has a meaning, and it's position in the spread will alter it's meaning. It's up to the read to interpret the cards and their positions and provide an answer to the Querent.  

How do you read tarot cards?

Tarot cards can be interpreted in many ways. A standard way is to, as above, arrange a spread, and interpret the meanings as they are laid out. Different readers will interpret different aspects of the card, but each card does have an established theme, so it isn't just guessing in the dark. If, for example there are two different readers, they should interpret the same spread in a very similar way.  

Can you do a tarot card reading for yourself?

Yes, of course. I frequently do a tarot reading for myself. A tarot reading for yourself can make you open up your awareness to new aspects of life and see things from another perspective. If you're asking the question; 'What will happen next week', for example, it's the same if you're asking for you or another person. You deal the cards in the spread the same way and interpret them the same way. Give it a try!  

How do you clear your tarot cards?

First, what is clearing your Tarot deck? Clearing is a practice that many tarot readers will perform to 'cleanse' their deck of any energies imbued upon them by their previous use. Some believe Tarot decks, and any object at all really, will soak up the energy around it. This can affect the next reading. A negative reading first might affect a potentially positive reading later on if the deck isn't cleansed. It can also affect the mind of the reader, so they should take some time out to clear their mind between readings. A simple way to clear your deck and yourself is to go outside in the daytime and clear your mind. Have a walk. Don't think about tarot reading. Elemental cleansing is also popular and can get you into a magical frame of mind, but each will take a bit longer to learn. In short; Cleansing by Fire - Arrange candles around your Tarot deck and visualise the negative energy burning into the flame. Use incense after; run your cards through incense smoke to refresh them. Cleansing by Water - If your cards are water-resistant; simply run them under running water. Visualise the energy from the previous reading washing down the stream. Cleansing by Earth - Salt is used here, sprinkle salt on the deck for a quick ritual; or bury the entire deck under salt for a longer lasting ritual. Earth banishing spells should longer than the others but are more thorough. Cleansing by Air - Leaving your cards out of their box for a day or two, in the air. Every time you see them, visualise the negative energy evaporating like on a warm day.  

What does the Death card really mean?

The Death tarot card, like the other more popular cards, has been given a number of non-standard meanings. It isn't really helping itself by it's illustration, but importantly; the Death card doesn't always mean death or dying. The Death tarot card usually represents the end of a cycle and the start of a new one, some examples would be; a new job, a new spouse, the end of an old routine, an unexpected new place you find yourself living. Death is nothing to be afraid of, so don't be shocked if it comes up in a reading! Check out the Death tarot card meaning here.  

What does a reversed tarot card mean?

A reversed tarot card can have a number of meanings, but the general feel is that the meanings are reversed; positive becomes negative. Not all readers will perform a tarot card reading with reverse meanings in mind, but if you are learning Tarot, it can be interesting to give it a shot.  

Is Tarot dangerous? Is Tarot Evil?

Finally, and an easy one to finish on. No. Tarot is not dangerous or evil by nature; it is just a tool. Like any tool, Tarot cards can be used for a negative purpose. It's important whether you are receiving or giving a reading that you accept it as an exterior voice, a suggestion or a new point of view. Tarot may sometimes tell you the correct path to take, but it's something you have to judge for yourself. If a tarot reading says something like, 'You will visit Australia this year!', it may well be true. It may even be the Universe trying to hint you along the right path. But if you really don't want to go, then don't listen to it. Remember, we all have free will, and it's empowering to use it every now and then!
