BellaOnline Forums Religion and Spirituality Tarot Hi ! Am I nuts ?

A while ago, I decided I'd start offering free and personal tarot readings and dream analysis online. My service is offered from a little website I set up, and the purpose was practise for me, and lightwork for others. No computer generated imitations here. Readings are performed personally and freely after your request by email. Now, although it is hard to keep up with the demand, I am doing tarot readings on a daily basis. From the responses I get, I sense people are very happy and satisfied with my service. Also, I feel there is a more objective sense to reading by email, since I feel I am not getting influenced by peoples appearances, as I would be if they would be sitting right in front of me. Does anyone else have that feeling of being slightly biased or prejudiced in a way that might influence the readings, when you have the actual person sitting in front of you? Thanks !

I do all my readings from the internet because my county does not allow a physical business license for readings. I find it much more objective and accurate. I scanned all my cards into my pc and use photoshop to put together a jpg of the spread on a nice background and then do each individual card with a meaning and a final summary. So my readings are basically pages of the number of cards plus two pages in jpg form and they can print them up at home or copy to a CD to keep them. They look very nice. I charge $20 for the first reading and $10 for a followup of 2 cards on that reading within a week. And I take PayPal for payment.

I totally agree w/ your notion that being in-person doing readings adds anxiety & can influence the reading; especially if the person you are doing the reading for is doubtful that the tarot works or is real or in any way has a negative view of divinatory practices as is stipulated by a lot of Christianized & other organized religious belief systems. Ya know, those who have been previously raised to believe that they are the "Devil's Cards". Because during a reading those thought patterns energetically find themselves w/in the cards and can influence the accuracy of the reading. I too find it much easier, laid back & not as apt to being pressured to perform. And the internet does provide that awesome privilege. I have in the past done physical one-on-one readings & had the individual argue every single thing that I told them would occur. Of course, knowing I wasn't full of it, I just watched & waited in silence for 2 yrs. until that same individuals came back to apologize for doubting me & admitting everything I spoke would occur did; they were just in denial. So that helps not having to deal w/ those types of people who are more closed-minded or don't really believe in the tarot or the ability for people to divine the future. Great Idea Ravyn on scanning your cards into your computer to utilize w/ your readings! The thing I find that helps is being creative. When you make your readings unique, that tends to pique people's interest. A script used on a website to generate the readings is not always that accurate or specific to the individual. Sometimes, there are those rare occassions that you do find a automated tarot reading that is pretty on target; but still, no where near as accurate as a personable reading done by a real person.
