Oh my goodness I just scrolled down and saw the rules. I apologize for asking about love. Idk if it was too general or not. My specific question more pertains to whether I should stick with a past relationship or begin a journey for something new?

Hi again, I was wondering if I could a reading about romance/dating/love life matters? I'm in a really confusing place right now. Thanks!

Thank you for following the rules, I really appreciate it! I think we talked about this before?

Desert: Vision Quest. I'm not sure if you know what a vision quest is but it's basically trekking out into the wilderness alone for a few days with water and sacred items. It's usually spent praying or meditating. This practice is meant to bring some sort of divine revelation. This card suggests you do that. Even if it's just for an afternoon in a park, seek out some solitude in nature and bring your question with you.

That site was great! I am 100% new to tarot, or was I suppose. I spent a lot of time researching history last night to dispel many of the misconceptions I seem to have picked up from religion and media over the years. As for specific guidance, I don't think I'll be ready to read for anyone else for a while. Do you have any tips for reading for oneself? Is there anything you do (meditate, aromatherapy, candles) to prepare yourself or create a good headspace before beginning a reading?

I'm glad it helped! 

I actually don't read for myself often anymore. I'm a really emotional person and I've found that when reading for myself, it completely clouds the reading. I have that issue if I have readings for others and I'm having a bad day, too =/

When I read in general, though, I light some incense and take a few deep breaths, wiggle around a little, stretch, then get myself all set up. I usually burn some sort of cleansing incense (frankincense is my favorite). Apart from that, there's not much else I do! At this point everything is so second nature that it's hard for me to describe. Every reader has a different process though, and mine is heavily tied to how lazy I am. If I' having a good day, I will clean whatever room I'm doing them in, then cleanse it, then do the readings but if it's a crappy one, it's just incense.

I do recommend having healthy snacks and water on hand! I get the munchies something fierce when I do multiple readings!

Thank you ever so much for the reading the other night. I have recently become (re-) interested in Tarot and wonder if you have any advice or links to resources for complete beginners? Thanks!

Oh, you are so welcome, sweet pea!

I always, always recommend aeclectic tarot! It's a wonderful site with a super comprehensive list of decks, spreads for literally anything and meanings. The community there is wonderful. 

What stage of beginner are you? Is there anything in particular you're looking for advice on?

May I have a reading?

Dawn: New Beginning. This one is also pretty self explanatory. It's time to start fresh. You've probably realized it's time to say goodbye to something and move on from it. It can be tough leaving something behind but know that whatever is in store for you is better than what you're leaving.
