Card Talk: Shining the light on everything about Tarot
M
is for
Misconceptions
When people find
out I am a Tarot Card Reader I am asked if I have special powers/ was born with
this knowledge/practice black magic/witch craft, and the like.
My answer is,
and will always be, NO, disappointing quite a few.
My 1st
time Clients usually expect to see me swathed in long, flowing robes, with a
dozen bangles and bracelets jangling at my wrists and sitting in a dark room
with fumes from burning incense creating a smoky and mysterious setting. They
are a tad disappointed to walk into my well-aired and well-lit office and see
me dressed in smart semi-formal wear.
Funnily enough I am also asked if ‘I eat
non-veg’ (yes, I do) ‘pray all day’(surely not!) ‘get angry’ (do I have a
temper or what!) and ‘use foul language’ (huh!?) and the likes.
There is almost
always a long, grilling question and answer session by my clients before we
start the actual Reading:)
And I
see to it that I answer each and every question asked with utmost patience
because hey, Misconceptions must be cleared!:)
