I separated my oracles into their elements to ask the elements advice on the new year! Anyone want a reading?

Hi! I was just wondering, how did you get into tarot? Its something I’d love to try myself, but have no idea where to start. Thanks!

Hi ! 

Well, if you’re wondering how to start, I guess the best way first is to read a bit about tarot. It doesn’t have to be super deep, nor do you have to learn everything about tarot. Just get familiar with it, the generic history, the distinction between tarot and oracle cards, and between divinatory tarot and playing tarot cards, look up at different tarot reviews to get an idea, maybe also watch some tarot videos, etc.

Then once you have a better idea of what tarot is and how it works, I guess the best way to start is to get a deck (you can get one in your local metaphysical shop, or online, on amazon or specialized sites. You can also download some apps, like the Golden Thread tarot. Some tarot decks also have their corresponding apps (for example my first deck, the Shadowscapes tarot, also exists in app form) and some are for learning (I use the Labyrinthos Academy app as a cheat sheet). Don’t worry too much about this. Get what appeals to you the most, not what people overly recommend you. It’s more pleasant to work with a deck that you really like. And don’t worry about getting a “wrong” one. If really you can’t connect with a deck, you’ll always have the opportunity to gift it to someone, which can be a nice way to bond with other readers or spark a new passion in someone ;)

Then just start using your deck. The first times can be just you trying out ways of shuffling, then pulling a card daily for yourself. Then you can start doing some spreads for matters including yourself.

In general, I think it’s best to start doing readings for yourself (or for fictional characters for example), so you are less stressed out about “getting it wrong”, you discover how you prefer to read (book meanings, intuition, a mix of the two), how you prefer to pull the cards, your fave spreads, etc.

Then once you feel a bit more comfortable, you can start offering readings to others. To your friends or family if they want to, or to people online.

Personally that’s how I’ve done it : I started reading about it online, chose a deck and started doing readings for myself, and I’m only recently starting doing readings for others. You’re free to do otherwise of course ! But it’s just the way I did it ^^ 

I’m going to link you some posts here if you want some help for a start,  but also feel free to ask me more questions if you have any ! If I can’t reply I’ll just tell you or link you to other people who may be more knowledgeable than me ~

Fool’s Journey: How to Get the Most from a Tarot Reading

You’ve heard the saying ‘ask a silly question, you’ll get a silly answer’? So it is with tarot. Asking the right question, or rather, figuring out your intentions before you approach those cards, can really make the difference when it comes to the quality of your reading.

As always, a wonderful article from Autostraddle’s tarot series.

Selling Tarot Readings

Those of you that follow me probably already know that I’m unemployed and having a hell of a time getting a job (moving into a college town just after everyone moves back for fall semester maybe wasn’t the best idea, in retrospect) and I still need money for groceries/gas/rent!

So, because I’m still not quite desperate enough to beg, I’m selling my knowledge and talent with the occult! Got a question about love, life, the future, your career, your education? Ask the cards! Small spreads (5 cards or less) are only $2 per card, larger spreads’ pricing is subject to change on complexity; but advice and counsel on making sure you’re buying the right spread is free!

So, send an ask, learn about the future, help me not starve to death! A link to my ask is here, and this is a link to people who have left reviews for the readings they already bought!

Selling Tarot Readings

Hey I need money while I wait to hear back from job applications/interviews, and I’m selling tarot readings! For only $2/card I’ll help you make sure you’re getting a reading of a size and spread appropriate for your question, and I write up all of the information regarding your spread in a neat little text document for you to keep and review whenever (in most cases I can get it to you the same night)!

If you’ve got a few extra $$, a question about the future, and a love of esoteric bullshit like me, consider a reading!

Also, a link to posts from folks who have been kind enough to leave reviews!

how do i purchase a peak into my future? paypal?

the payment is through paypal, yep, but i also work with you to make sure i understand the question you want answered (or just a general look into the future, if thats what you want) and the size of the spread that works for you! i usually do that through tumblr ask/fanmail to make sure youre really getting what you want before i start reading/ you send payment
