I want to clear some things up: 1. I am not a psychic. Though I dabble in divination and find it fun, it is not my default to try to predict the future. If I do, the caveat is that this it's for entertainment purposes only and that people have free will and agency to shape their lives how they see fit. 2. No one knows you better than you know yourself. I use tarot personally to explore my thought processes, problem solve and strategize my next steps. During my longer readings I use a similar format for my clients. 3. I explore interpersonal relationships, dreams, thoughts and feelings. I use tarot to explore why things might be the way they are because everything that we do, say, think, feel, it's all connected by our personal narrative, your life's journal. 4. And that's what I mean when I say "Gamify Your Life", that's what I mean when I say my approach to tarot is a little different than the norm. 5. Yes there are hacks but there are also people who love self-reflection and study and those are the readers you want to engage with, and yes, pay them for their services. Even though this form of contemplation and independent thought can be wildly helpful, it is looked down on by much of the intellectual community (cc: @nytimes_arts). If you found a reading to be entertaining, thought-provoking, healing, interesting, pay what you can, esp if your friend is a small business owner (we are taxed out the ass). 4. There are plenty of people who just love cards. The tarot sub reddit is a great place if you're in that camp. Some of us in this community like to make decks, some like to collect them, others just like to play with them. I'm in more of the play category, but I do doodle a lot and I have an extensive collection of decks, as you can see here. ๐๐ Card lovers unite! #extraordinarytarotmanifesto . . . . . . . . #gamifyyourlife #extraordinarytarot #tarotcards #tarotspreads #tarot #tarotdeck #tarottribe #rtarot #tarotphilosophy #tarotmanifesto #tarotreader #brooklyntarot #tarotreadings #tarotnyc #tarotqueens #sevenofswords #knightofwands (at Artists & Fleas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvR70SpnEUO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sy79n01qgt77
