Well, there isn't really a "best". Picking a tarot reader is completely your choice and each reader is completely different. It all boils down to what you are looking for when you're picking a tarot reader. Here's some background information on how tarot readings go before we delve into how you can best pick a reader who suits you best!
Spirituality saw a rise in popularity in 2020 thanks to TikTok. As we were all locked up in our houses (because of covid </33), many of us did not know where and who to turn to and so we turned towards the universe. One aspect of spirituality that became exceedingly popular was Tarot reading.
Tarot reading is a form of cartomancy in which a reader utilizes their intuition to pick cards which they will read to gain insight on the past, present or future. A traditional tarot deck consists of 78 cards which can be split into 2 groups - Major Arcana and Minor Arcana.
The Major Arcana represents major themes and lessons in life. These should be paid particular attention to as it may be an event you have to go through before continuing with the rest of your life path. A reading filled with Major Arcanas can signify an important and life-changing period of time in someone’s life.
On the contrary, Minor Arcanas (as the name suggests) represents more minor aspects of life. This can mean disagreements, small decisions, rest or even deception. Minor Arcanas rely heavily on numerology (example, the number 5 represents instability and conflict - as shown by the 4 suits)
Now that you know the basics of tarot, let’s dive into how you can pick a tarot reader who will read more than just the basics for you. First and foremost, opt for someone who is experienced and well known in their field. The more practice a tarot reader gets, definitely the better they are, especially because they would be accomplished in their craft.
Preferably opt for a tarot reader whose reputation precedes them (did you catch the Taylor Swift reference?). If a reader is well-known for being accurate, chances are they are one of the better choices you could go for. HOWEVER please also read a variety of online reviews about the reader before booking your slot and not just pick that reader merely because they have good reviews.
While scouring the internet for reviews, do ensure that you find reviews about their ethics. If they are known for pushing products or exploiting their clients then it’s best to steer away from them. Another thing to be wary of is whether they think twice before tapping into someone’s energy (which is wrong if it’s without their permission and prior knowledge).
You should also sit down and ask yourself, what type of approach would you prefer for your tarot reader to take? Do you wish for them to be more direct, give you solutions or just explain the situation at hand. Different tarot readers approach their readings differently. If you have been patronizing our store for awhile, you would remember Jamie (we miss you Jamie). She approached her readings by reading each individual card and explaining the situation at hand in detail. However, Bambi is the sort of reader who reads the whole situation and offers you solutions to your problems. There is no right and wrong when it comes to tarot reading, it is simply the readers' (and your) preference. At the end of the day, they'll all be pointing you in the same direction.
Tarot readings tend to be pretty expensive because of the amount of the reader’s energy that is going into the reading (which is actually a lot and very very draining). Choose a tarot reader whose rates match with your budget. Yes, as important as it is for you to get your answers, we would also like for you to be able to afford lunch AFTER your reading. Avoid readers who push products on you, especially if they already know that you are tight on budget.
Last and foremost, trust your intuition and pick who you think will do your readings justice. We can give you all the advice in the world but at the end of the day, it is up to you.
