A thread on tarot reading basics (for clients and readers):
First of all! Tarot is not evil, it captures the energy of the people involved in the reading to show an outcome of the situation, it has nothing to do with spirits or something supernatural (although the reader can use it for that purpose, but weâll get into that later)
Letâs star with the clients!
Hello clients! For some reason you have decided to get a tarot reading, thatâs cool! Hereâs what you need to know:
â˘If itâs your first time, donât get nervous! Nothing bad can happen to you

â˘NO ONE can predict death. The Death card does not mean physical death, it just means a cycle or situation will end and a new one will emerge. If you get a tarot reading and they for some reason predict your death, DO NOT believe them. No one can do so.
â˘Some readers may ask you to shuffle the cards, while others donât. Both are fine.
â˘Yes, long distance readings do work.
â˘Always make sure the price for a reading isnât extreMELY high (itâs probably a scam). I suggest you to look for prices on the internet and compare them

â˘Most importantly!!!!! Tarot is not a sentence, just a guide. As I said, it might predict an outcome based on the energy, but it does NOT control your future/destiny. As a person you have free will and any decision in your life is up to you.
Now letâs move to readers!

â˘Yes! You do need to clean it when itâs brand new
Here are some ways to clean your tarot deck, you can do the one you prefer:

-Wrap your cards in silk/cloth, or you can keep them in their box, and bury them in salt for a day
-Clean them with energy!

For the energy cleasing:
Take your deck between your deck between your hands, close your eyes, breathe deeply and visualize a white bright light coming out of your hands. This light is your energy and itâs helping clean the cards of ant past energy they mightâve caught

â˘Real the booklet that comes with your tarot deck, it will give you the general meaning of the cards and some other associations (this depends on each deck). The original tarot is the Rider Waite tarot (most decks are based on it)
â˘You can also look for meanings online, I recommend the Biddy Tarot website
â˘If you have a divination guide book, great! You can buy one if you want to, but itâs not necessary
