If you ask for a reading, you’re asking for a reading.
I’ve noticed that a lot of times, when people ask for a tarot reading, they’re not looking for what the instruments and the energies actually want them to know. They’re looking for feel-good reassurance that things will go how they want.
If the witch tells them what they want to hear, they’re a full believer and will cling to the prediction and treat it as solid fact.
But if the witch tells them something that they weren’t hoping for, it’s written off as a silly game.
Witches and other devining people have the capacity to tap into the universal energy and the beyond, and tarot is an instrument to help us sort out the messages we’re getting.
If you ask us for a reading, we take it SERIOUSLY. At least I do. I have rituals, it’s draining, it’s time-consuming, and it’s something that I truly believe in.
So when people treat it as a roundabout way to get false reassurance, it makes me really upset. This isn’t a GAME, it isn’t always FUN, it doesn’t always TELL YOU WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR.
Anyway respect tarot readers and their readings, regardless of whether or not it’s the outcome you wanted.
