“Ionce pulled out the Nine of Cups, the ‘Wish’ card and made
a wish…,”declares Urja Mehta, a teenage tarot reader, “…my wish came true!
Thecards can hit back, it’s not just a one way relationship.”
Often
we find ourselves captivated by all that is cryptic and recondite. The
occult science of Tarot cards has held human interest from time
immemorial yet in the past decade or so it has gained impetus. Tarot
professionals are now younger and many in number. How genuine, that’s
for you to decide. So what does it take to be a tarot reader, a strong
intuition or can intrigue and dedication do the trick?
“Everyone
is basically intuitive and tarot becomes a channel for developing that
intuition. It’s great to start off young but reading cards for others
requires a lot of maturity,” says Mumbai-based Tarot professional Geeta
Kapadia. Tarot is essentially about real life situations, one tends to
trust their tarot consultant. People come looking for answers and when
one conducts a reading they must deal with consequences – a tarot
reader serves as a counsellor or psychological healer of sorts, it
requires wisdom and discretion.
Energy Synergy
Tarot
works on the principle of energy exchange, more often than not a reader
may experience a loss of energy which manifests in the form of
headaches, panic attacks, depression or aggression in the long run. A
tarot card reader picks up vibes of the subject, which affects his/her
emotional state. Moreover, attachment to a subject affects a reading
and a reader. It is imperative to be aware of such facts before delving
into the spectrum of tarot cards. One must never conduct a reading when
already ill or upset, a half-hearted attempt will only aggravate an
offshoot. The recognition that you are just a channel will enable you
to avail of the energy of the universe rather than giving off yours.
Energy clearing and energy balancing processes serve as a redressal. As
Yogesh Dhanjani, an adolescent tarot professional says, “It is
extremely important to meditate after a subject leaves.”
Ambience matters
For
better readings, a one-on-one session in a quiet room is always
preferable. Whilst conducting a tarot reading it is essential to
preserve the energies in the room, for which you can:
Light a candle / diya Burn an aroma candle / incense stick Keep crystals / rock
salt in a bowl To Believe or Not To Believe
“I was
told my daughter would run away from home at the age of 19, you can
imagine my dismay…” shares D Jethnani. She adds, “She is 25 now and I
still have my fingers crossed! I would have ignored the prediction had
my tarot reader been wrong about my past.” Sometimes qualified
professionals make mistakes. Every reader has his/her strong point…X
may be able to tell you about your past with utmost clarity while Y may
be better at informing you about your current situation and Z’s
predictions of the future are most accurate. Besides, one must
understand that the tarot is just a guideline and the future can still
be changed.
Inquisitive?
Fascination,
novelty or spirituality whatever it may be that spurs young interest,
for the practice of tarot it is important to be well read or
professionally trained. “Learning tarot professionally involves around
four stages: the rejuvenation stage where one meditates, spiritual
powers are awakened at this level, it’s the clean up stage, the next
deals with an introduction to the cards and their symbolism, the
subsequent phases are advanced levels which one can cross only if
deemed ready,” informs Yogesh Dhanjani, a tarot professional.
