I remember doing a reading using a spread of hers to answer the question "what do I really want?". The answers it gave me was surprisingly accurate and actually touched on something I'd considered on a subconscious (i guess) level and never fully admitted to myself.

Besides, no guide can read the cards for you. I find guides like these help the new reader, of course, but also the seasoned reader when they may be stuck and need some fresh insight on a card. I've been known to look up card meanings in those situations and find it jump-starts my own intuition in those moments.Ginny Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03759784851970527096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-17083269754800526112011-11-07T07:49:45.150-05:002011-11-07T07:49:45.150-05:00Wonderful blog btw!

I need something more diverse to read. the more info the better thats for sure. not all decks are created equal and i think most people interpret cards differently at least i know i do.Candyhttp://www.tarotgurl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-40721646994346601002011-10-11T18:17:00.710-04:002011-10-11T18:17:00.710-04:00I've never had a book printed at either place ...I've never had a book printed at either place myself, so I don't know the cost.

In any case, it's good that you've given Biddy some recognition. She's been helpful in my tarot education. Considering the quality of her work, I've always been surprised she's never found a hard copy publisher and, actually, that she isn't famous.Warpsludge the Warlockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043536546427215052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-17029134788806097912011-09-10T09:53:18.705-04:002011-09-10T09:53:18.705-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-44656734748735932832011-09-07T01:34:12.375-04:002011-09-07T01:34:12.375-04:00Yeah, getting out of my head.

Pentacles are the physical and material and have a lot to say about our bodies. 4 Pents upright indicates a withholding, a sit still and don't do anything attitude, whereas a reversal can indicate the opposite or an obstacle. So yeah, I think becoming more outward in a physical way rather than inward. King of Swords reversed may suggest getting OUT of your head and approaching the task in an irrational way, such as throwing out the logical and embracing the illogical, forget expert advice, do what intuitively feels right.<br /><br />Just my 2 cents.Ginny Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03759784851970527096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-89356565561528176672011-09-06T17:55:09.904-04:002011-09-06T17:55:09.904-04:00Hi John :) Left to my own devices I might have re...Hi John :) Left to my own devices I might have read the three cards similarly to your interpretation. I would immediately see the swords flanking the pentacles card in the middle and a need to focus on that center card for my insight, because clearly the surrounding environment sucks. Can I actually expect to sow reward out of such a scene? Not to mention, just looking at the positions of the figures, clearly the 5 of Swords guy does not have the best interests of the 7 of pentacles guy, he looks like a back-stabber in wait. The positional places weren't bad, though, because recognizing the competitive environment in the 5 of Swords helped explain why my interview/job seeking efforts have so far yielded minimal results. Too many people going after the same positions. Too many conflicting interests as well. I feel spreads have their place in tarot, I will still use them if they suit a situation, many tarotists love them. Others, like you, are far more comfortable without them. Some beginner readers feel the need for such structure and definition while they gain more confidence with the cards.Ginny Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03759784851970527096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-26613504934419992782011-09-06T17:26:59.391-04:002011-09-06T17:26:59.391-04:00I've been dabbling for a while, still not very...I've been dabbling for a while, still not very good, but gave the 3 card spread you used a try regarding my inability to get motivated and lose the weight that is really bothering me right now. Seven of pentacles, 4 of pentacles reversed, and king of swords reversed.<br /><br />The way I read this is that right now I'm doing too much planning, and I need to start putting those plans in action. I want to be in control (of my eating, of my health, of the disorder I've created by ignoring my needs.) but I need to focus less on the eating, health, and control, and more on personal relationships, loving the people in my life instead of worrying about whether or not they're thinking about how fat I am. King of Swords reversed confuses me (I'm really confused by reversals in general.) but to get where I want to be, once again, I need to stop thinking about what to do and take action. It's time to do the exercising I know I should do, eat the foods I keep planning to eat, etc...<br /><br />All of this is kinda a "no duh" thing except the insight about loving the people in my life more and not focusing so much on my weight. That was a light bulb moment, but will still be difficult for me to shift my thinking.<br /><br />Thoughts?<br /><br />JenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-73921588187598504292011-09-06T13:42:09.757-04:002011-09-06T13:42:09.757-04:00Greetings:

Often the card meanings don't make a lot of sense within that context, and then the reader attempts to force it to fit, and the reading can easily go off of the rails. Perhaps a better approach is just to look at the cards and let them tell the story.........7 of pentacles is about reaping what you have sewn (for good or for ill). This is shown by the adjacent cards. The 5 of swords tells that you have been fighting a losing battle, and the 10 of swords tells that you have hit bottom. So here you are (7 of pentacles), reflecting on what you have created at work. Now, sooner or later you will need to do as any good farmer does, and that is to planet new seeds. So, the next question (and the topic for another spread) is "do I plant new seeds were I am or do I move onto another location?"John Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136087703487383027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-84830697131856785422011-09-05T22:53:36.023-04:002011-09-05T22:53:36.023-04:00Thank-you so much for a wonderful review of my new...Thank-you so much for a wonderful review of my newest eBook.
