Card Layouts

A reading can take anywhere from five minutes to an hour depending on the type of layout, the question, how many cards turn up (only for the 4 column) and some other variables. This is the reason that I prefer not to charge by the minute like some sites. I feel that if it takes a bit longer to clarify or discuss, you shouldn't have to pay more. I would like to give a brief description of the different layouts that are described on the pay link.

The 4 Column - With this layout there can be as few as four cards up to ... a lot. Cards are laid out in each column until a Major Arcana card comes up thus ending the column. Many times there are more cards than shown in the photo, often they will tell the story in pairs.

4 Columns

Celtic cross -  not shown here is an 11 card layout that speaks to the present situation and all of the energies that surround it. This style of layout speaks to the situation as well as how and who will affect it. 

The 3 Card, I like to call this one, "What you know, What you don't know, What you need to know."

3 Card

The 2 Card Yes/No is two cards the first being something you should say "yes" to, the second is something you should say "no" to.

The 1 Card flip is a quick easy way to find out what the universe wants you to be aware of,  a thought for the day. 

Now you have the skinny on the layouts all you need is to figure out which style matches what you want.

Tools & Implements

I use some of these most of the time and most of them some of the time.

The Aquarian Tarot and the Witches Tarot are my most accurate decks for long distance reading. Your reading will most likely be done using the Aquarian Tarot. I like to bring my cards, gems and pendulum pretty much everywhere.

The Pendulum is used in special cases as well as the Chakra stones. I do smudge my area when I feel the necessity, it is only one method I use for cleansing an area. I do burn white candles when it is dark (although the one in the photo is obviously unused). I rarely do any scrying but love having the crystal around just for its wonderful energy.

The silk material is used to read on because it is a natural material, it protects my cards, and I can bring it anywhere to use as a portable reading area.

Hope you enjoyed the tour!

Prepare to Read

Whenever we sit down for a reading, much of the reading preparation has already been done (unless it is a spontaneous type of reading). I spoke about some of the methods I use for cleansing my cards, and this is a must for each reading. I also take other measures after clearing, to make sure the reading goes well.

One of the other things I like to do, is take some time to center myself before a reading. This is to help me stay focused on the reading and to connect to the client. Centering can take anywhere from thirty seconds, up to five minutes. Time depends upon how "busy" life is for me, how focused I feel and what type of energy the querent (who I will read) has on. 

Usually I Protect or shield myself at the same time. This is to prevent any residual or negative energy, possibly brought up in the reading, from sticking to me or around me. Some of my technique, I picked up many years ago when I first began learning Tarot, some came more recently, with Reiki training - all of it works well for me. 

Centering begins, in my case, by closing my eyes and a few nice deep breaths, while keeping in mind what my purpose/intention is. I imagine I am breathing in light and love which fills me and protects me. "Only the highest power for good surrounds me as I do this reading" is the prayer I tell myself as I center myself, I also envision a white or golden light cocooning me. Depending on whether I am about to read or whether I am channeling Reiki I will envision a column of light coming from "heaven" through my crown, down my body into the ground, and then back up again. Quite often, at the end, a picture/feeling comes over me of roots from my feet entering and anchoring me to earth, while branches with glowing leaves open up from my crown and when this comes over me, I am ready. 

I always enjoy chatting with you,

Love and Light, 

Tracy
