And if you think about it, it's good to know when people reveal themselves this way because we then know who to avoid. :) And of course I'm not talking about one untimely word or a few missteps, we all make them. I'm talking about routinely stating all this bravado and self-absorbed crap.<br /><br />And yeah, re: the video -- it's grating because it's presented as how to "fake" a reading but hey, it's not all fake, is it? LOL.<br /><br />GinnyGinny Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03759784851970527096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-12438574869849391152011-02-06T22:27:44.868-05:002011-02-06T22:27:44.868-05:00Thank you Ginny for the great article.

I have heard her more than once on tv say that people should not waste their money with other psychics other than those coming from her own training. The one that got me the most is where she said that people should not have Tarot decks because they have no idea what they may attract to their homes, meaning unwanted spirits.<br />As for the video..irritating, but the explanation of the two of wands was not bad at all.<br /><br />AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-3564407383077664202011-01-26T17:58:16.813-05:002011-01-26T17:58:16.813-05:00So true, Theresa.

I find those who don't feel the pressing need to impress or who aren't striving toward some imaginary ideal are also the ones who are more tolerant and accepting of others' "being," too. <br /><br />Haha! That video does irk, doesn't it? But what was funny to me about it was that the reading may not have turned out so "fake" after all. If the querant is satisfied with it, if it addressed her concerns and gave her direction and insight, even if she gave it herself with her own impressions of the cards, then it wasn't a "fake" reading at all. :)<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Ginny Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03759784851970527096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-85642649576866662362011-01-26T09:18:39.972-05:002011-01-26T09:18:39.972-05:00Ginny, this is such a great post.

As far as tarot, what works for one may not work for another. We all have our own methods, each equally valid. I don't find any one system to be the "authentic" one - what is authentic and real for one may not suit another.<br /><br />And that video? OFFENSIVE. But I enjoyed it.

However it is a libra strugle to make things as pleasent as possible, sometimes, we get really transparent and the real deal comes out.<br /><br />I think it should be our work in life to be real... and for that, tarot is a great tool...

It begs the question, is there ONLY ONE version of or one approach to the Tarot, the genuine, the real, the one and only source and meaning?<br /><br />My last weblog post touched upon the subject by exploring "What is Tarot?", inspired by the opening question on "Beyond Worlds - Tarot Tribe" on BlogTalkRadio. I, like you, have a more open and inclusive perspective on the meaning and use of Tarot.<br /><br />If the deck used in the "How to Fake a Tarot Card Reading" video is any indication of the bias of the producers, we would all need to have a COPY of the "Original RWS Deck reprint - 1993" (see Holly Voley) in order to be authentic readers...or are copies fakes too...Hmmm<br /><br />Ginny, what I like about you so much is your authenticity and sharing yourself with the cyber world.<br /><br />In Spirit,<br />Katrina<br />weblog: MySacredJourney.orgKatrina Wynnehttp://tarotcounseling.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-18869840592890878902011-01-15T09:58:44.742-05:002011-01-15T09:58:44.742-05:00Dan, an "authentic reading" is nothing m...Dan, an "authentic reading" is nothing more than you reading the cards with the tools you possess. And if, right now, the tools are references, you are reading authentically. You are reading the best you can. And I bet when you use those references, you do a bit of tweaking. You probably pick out which parts of what you are learning best fit that reading, right? That's intuition and you're right on it. So you are reading authentically. You're not faking it. Bravo! :D<br /><br />Janett, it has everything to do with tarot. Because tarot touches all aspects of our lives. The "realest" card in tarot, to me, is the Queen of Pentacles. She's so...HER. She doesn't put on airs or try to make a splash. She simply does her thing and isn't overly impressed with herself. At first, I wasn't overly enamored with the pentacles suit. It seemed boring. But the earthy element is real and tangible. It keeps us grounded and in touch with ourselves and each other in a way the other elements can't. This verse from the book of James kind of sums up the pentacles thing -- "If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, be warmed and filled,' without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?" —James 2:15-16 James was definitely a pentacles person. He wrote things like "faith without works is dead" to point out that we can be too heavenly minded to be of any earthly good and that was no good at all. When we "become real" that will affect every area of our lives, including tarot reading. We start seeing things differently and start offering more tangible interpretations. What is tarot if it can't be used to actually, genuinely, positively affect our lives?Ginny Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03759784851970527096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-77946069635039640422011-01-15T06:38:55.067-05:002011-01-15T06:38:55.067-05:00For the past few months, I've found myself imp...For the past few months, I've found myself implementing this whole "authenticity" into every aspect of my life. I, too, have worked in retailing and hated it for that aspect. Not only that but because I was being pushed to dress more "fashion forward" and "feminine," though they had no uniform. I hated having to just BUY clothes for work, so I could look like a "salesgirl" and not a "customer." I'm questioning everything.. how to dress, why wear makeup, what the hell is in my food, where clothes comes from and are they made in sweatshops, etc. <br />I'm still learning how to not give a damn about what society thinks but I still need more time. I know this has nothing to do with tarot, but I just wanted to share that I too am losing the ability to fabricate myself with time. It always brings me to question "What's the point?"Janettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-17457467754204645392011-01-15T00:04:22.911-05:002011-01-15T00:04:22.911-05:00Nodding fondly in agreement....
Ginny you rock. I...Nodding fondly in agreement....<br /><br />Ginny you rock. I've been wondering what makes for authentic readings myself. I read, but have a completely, I suppose you would call it amature bend on it. I'm still very cautious to the story I get from the readings, and rely on the definitions I collect from say, Mary K, or Ciro M. Then I correlate those definitions into my 10 card Celtic.<br /><br />I would love to read without referring to definitions.. but enough time hasn't passed I suppose... <br /><br />Those for whom I read for, swear by me. I'm humbled by it. <br /><br />But I don't feel I would be accepted as a reader if I can't refer to the definitions... even if the cards are spot on for the querent... <br /><br />So I haven't pushed to promote my services in ernest. For plain ole fear of negative criticism or lash back from the reader community.<br /><br />and holy moley my dear, you sure can let it out there... ;p<br /><br />Thank you<br />for being authentic.<br /><br />Your friend,<br />DanLopez2012danlopez2012https://www.blogger.com/profile/10763254642609574589noreply@blogger.com
