Although perhaps not the best way to start a blog; it's a topic and issue that I have been faced with so often and indeed had to go over several times today alone!
One of the most commonly asked things are to look into other people's lives and I often find myself having to swerve the question away from this. I, along with many others, will not do a Reading which means snooping into someone else's life and in return I am often confronted with the question "why?"
Assuming that this is not a satisfactory answer to say "It's in the Code of Ethics" as it doesn't in itself explain my belief in not doing, allow me to answer by asking a question to you;
You have things in your life which you keep from your loved one. Now, don't argue, everyone has their secrets which they wish to keep that way. How would it feel to not only have someone try to force out secrets that you find important to never share but that it was by someone you love and trust? To feel, in return, that you are not trusted enough to be asked by them? This is something which is an issue of communication and not something I wish to get in the middle of.
However my biggest reason is rather different.
Looking at Tarot for a second and what it does along with psychic ability and impressions. The most nutshell way to explain how tarot cards draws an answer for the Querrent (person to who is receiving the Reading and asking questions) is that the cards and the Tarot Reader will look to the energy and the imprints your energy gives -a topic that's popped up a lot around me recently.
Consider you want something badly. That man with the dark hair and muscular figure, that lady with the perfect curls and most killer look; your body gives that energy of want, which is easy to misconstrue as what you will receive. If you are greatly worrying that someone does not love you and want to know how they feel in the most deepest of ways - again it's easy for a Reader to pick up on what you are hoping and wanting. It's very difficult to pinpoint the true energy source and it's not feasible, in so many ways, to pick up on the energy of one person, through another. In short, it's easy not only for you to be told something that is in truth a hope that you have - but that other Readers would also pick up on this hope, simply because you were initially told that this is true (in gaining excitement your energy will tend to be more stronger).
Impossible? Well that is something up for debate. Some people will claim it's not possible and that the energy flow is directly 100% the Querrents, others will disagree with that and claim that their bodies and energy contain the future and can link to people around them. I have not stated my own beliefs purposely as I do not feel it really matters. What does matter is this: are you willing to spend time, money and effort in receiving a tarot Reading to risk being told what you are wanting (or fearing) to hear, rather than the truth? Are you sure that it doesn't make a bolder statement about your relationship and it's communication-levels to you? Have you received a good Reading which fills you with hope rather than empowering you? A Reading should be based around you so that you can see where you can control things in your life, how you can push yourself forwards and see where you are (potentially) going. Asking about someone else would not give you this, but rather a helpless sense of expectation.
Either way, for better or for worse, despite anything in terms of beliefs and debates Readers might have; I am most certainly not willing to have someone pay me to risk giving them fancy or fear. I expect of myself as a Reader what I would hope and expect of a Reader if I was the Querrent - the truth, honesty and all options left open to me.
If you go to a Reader be aware that it surrounds you and yourself in order to make the most of your Reading (so that you can truly take the reign in your life) and remember: though restrictions may appear draining at times, through EU laws and Ethics - they are there for a very good reason. If you aren't sure what that fantastic reason is and interested in a Reader - then perfect! It's the perfect opportunity to message them, speak to them and see what you make of them as a Reader as well as learn why they go by a Practise Standard. This means, you will very quickly learn if you find them someone you want a Reading from and if you want to continue a buy a Reading! It's always delightful to build some level of establishment and communication before having a Reading to make yourself nice and comfy!
Tarot Readings can be fun as well as insightful - but remember to be safe and careful when it comes to a Reading and choosing your questions!
