Every time I pass by a doctor’s or dentist’s office or clinic, I always check the number of people (many or few) who line up to take advantage of the services provided. If I see a lot of people lining up, I say to myself… hmmm… the doctor must be doing something right. He must be very good at what he does, people clamor for his services. I keep thinking, what does the doctor have with many patients compared to the one who has few?
The same theory is true, with commercial establishments such as restaurants, beauty salons, etc. with a great following, with a lot of clients hanging around. So what about you my dear tarot reader? Are people desperate to take advantage of your tarot reading services? That alone can determine if you are average or excellent at what you are doing. So let’s separate the wheat from the chaff. A great tarot reader is:
1. Someone who has integrity first. It has continually grown and evolved its own code of ethics and not one developed by any other organization. He perpetually defends his ethical decisions no matter what situation arises.
2. Someone who is an expert in tarot cards. Not only do you master all tarot meanings (whether upright or inverted), symbolism, numerology, elemental dignities, card combinations, design your own tarot card spreads, but also someone has a basic understanding of other divinatory systems, such as I-ching. , Kabbalah, astrology, even NLP and how they relate to his craft, the Tarot.
3. Someone who is intuitive, who learns academically and consciously about the tarot, is willing to throw it all away. He lets his intuition and subconscious reign supreme especially when he is at the reading tables interpreting the cards.
4. Someone who has excellent listening and communication skills. Take note, I mentioned listening first, because being able to really connect with your customers is crucial, you need to listen to them, if not carefully, then more emphatically. And it’s a great feeling to be heard. It’s empowering. Your customers should be able to feel that with you.
5. Someone who is good at counseling. The reader really wants to help his clients by giving them leeway to exercise their free will and inner wisdom. The reader shows options and alternatives to achieve what he wants. He intentionally guides them on how to overcome problems and relieve their anxiety and stress at the same time.
6. Someone who has a sense of humor. Life is but a journey. We will never get out of this world alive, so you better enjoy every minute of your lives. Have fun, relax. Don’t take it all too seriously. A great tarot reader should make you feel that way. If you come out of your tarot reading session feeling energized, empowered, confident, and with a better sense of direction, then you’ve met a great tarot reader.
