Magic Realms

Some people think you can and some people think you can't. In either case, a lot of readers are very judgmental about this.

Well, the final word on it is going to be down to you isn't it? Only you are going to know whether you can read for yourself or not!

I can read for myself, but often don't need to as I spot messages in omens and the things happening around me quite readily. This is how Spirit tells me stuff. Through omens and day to day messages. When I don't get it, am ignoring it, don't see it, Spirit sends the message with more oomph and I realise I need to find a way to understand it. In these occasional instances, is when I'll turn a card (usually one, no more than three) for myself. And there it is - loud and clear. How could I have missed it?! When I was first learning to read the Tarot, I couldn't read for myself. It was all too confusing when I was trying to learn the meaning of the cards for others (rather than me - the meanings are actually slightly different when doing a reading for yourself). During this time, I saw a Clairvoyant for guidance, maybe 3 times in about a year and a half and it helped a great deal.  After about 3 years of reading the Tarot, I then discovered that I was beginning to be able to read for myself. It was a lesson in learning the meaning of the cards in a different way. And when I had learnt this lesson, Spirit decided that I didn't need the cards anymore, I could read the signs in life and nature instead.

I once had some random lady come into a shop I worked at asking if I wanted a Tarot reading. I replied, "Thanks, but that's ok - I can read for myself." And I was about to offer to take her number in case anyone else was interested, when she replied very snootily at point blank, "You can't read for yourself, no one can."

Hmmmm, thanks Little Miss I Know Everything, but you don't know me! And finally, off she went in a huff!  If you encounter this kind of behaviour, please don't listen to it or under any circumstance get a reading from this kind of person. They are not there to empower you. They are there to tell you what to do and gain some kind of power over you.

Not everyone can read the Tarot for themselves, but that's ok! Some people dowse, some people just 'see', some people think logically on something for ages then come up with a solution, and some people go and see their Tarot reader once a year... these are all different and valid ways of finding an answer to something (whether spiritual or not). You and your Spirit Guides will have a way of knowing how you come to solutions about your life.

You know best and are the master of your own destiny.
