be careful--not a toy!

Hi,

Be careful with that deck.  I've been a reader for over 20 years and it isn't a toy.  If friends ask you to do readings, they may think they're asking for the sake of fun, but a lot of people will take your tarot readings very seriously.  Usually people only ask about things they're a little bit afraid of and you might be surprised at how devastated someone might become if you give them a "bad" reading. 

I've had friends ask for a reading about their relationship and suddenly they find themselves pretty deep into addressing their problems, moreso than they might want!  It's like going to intensive therapy sometimes!  I don't know what deck you got, but try the Celtic Dragon.  It's a very beautiful illustrative deck, very much about self-development and less about predictions (which is really, I believe, the higher purpose of tarot.)

I have a couple of decks. I doubt that surprises you.

I'm not pagan and I'm not a very good christian - I believe that there is something out there - so I gues I'm a "pseudochristian". 

 I can't read the cards well, but I have an interest.  I am open to everything and still eager to learn about everything - even after all these years.
