CARD READERS
A person who strictly reads the cards and
interprets what they mean often call themselves Tarot Card Readers. That does
not mean they have the ability that a Psychic tarot card reader would possess.
They are not able to use clairvoyance
Clairaudience or any other form of psychic ability in their tarot card
readings.. They are able to perform a number of tarot card spreads for you the
recipient of the reading. Some Tarot card readers are able to look at the Tarot
cards and tell you what they see from the cards and explain them and how they
relate to your current crisis or situation. SOME CARD READERS ARE NOT PSYCHIC.
THEY ARE PEOPLE WHO DO SPREADS AND EXPLAIN THEM TO YOU, BUT THEY DO NO POSSES
THE EXTRA SENSORY ABILITIES PSYCHICS DO. However, just because they do not
possess other gift does not mean you cannot get a great reading from them. There
are many adept tarot card readers that can give you predictions with accuracy
and details. This section is for you to decide what kind of reading YOU want.
Many people do not want a psychic, they want a tarot card reader only. (and vice
versa) Do your homework, read what the tarot reader says about their gifts when
choosing what type of reading would best suit you. Don’t fault the reader if you
didn’t do YOUR homework before calling them. You wouldn’t buy a shirt without
looking at the size to see if it fits you would you?
PSYCHIC CARD READERS
A person who has such abilities as
clairvoyance, and
Clairaudience or are empaths are what normal people consider PSYCHICS.
Psychics can use many gifts to get you the answers to the questions you have,
and use of tarot cards is one way. Quite often a psychic will “feel” or “see”
something, and use the tarot cards to back up what they are “feeling” or
“seeing” as validation, or can use the tarot to possibly go deeper into the
situation to give you more clarity on what you are inquiring about.

century that tarot cards were extremely lavish in there design and painted and
