are there any tarot reader rivalries?

YES, yes there is. But then in other cases no, not at all.

Some readers are really jealous of you & want your space, your time, personal information, an attempt to understand why you & not them in some cases ...

Some readers are AOK with you until they realize you’re good, and then they get threatened, and can get competitive.

Jealousy happens. People like to think that tarot readers are spiritual and therefore, not petty.

Tarot readers can be petty just like anyone else.

But you can also chose not to be. Some readers are really open & non competitive & want to get along & aren’t threatened.

It kind of boils down to fear & insecurity in some cases too ... people do stupid things when they are afraid. They can turn against people that could be working with .... .

and those same people can be super generous and open and healing beams of light when they’re in a good place.

Don’t put anyone on a pedestal, including your tarot reader! I try to choose a good path and to use my gifts in a good way, but just because you are “spiritual” does not mean you are infallible.

i'm a tarot reader. how do I get a little room? any tips?

I get this one a lot! What I did won’t work for everyone, but I’ll share what I did and feel free to take what works for you & discard the rest...

I read tarot out of my house. I began reading just as practice, and as I got better and improved, & folks started wanting & asking for tarot - as opposed to me just offering it at events, etc -

They started self electing to pay. We made a tarot donation jar eventually.... and then someone recommended me to read at Quidditas...

I met Tran and was able to read tarot there during the main tarot readers day off .

When that job ended, another shop space offered me space. At this point I went from a more drop in client base to appointments .

Getting this room was a total gift moment ... I knew I wanted to read full time but had outgrown my space more or less...

I heard mintage mall was opening up & I had read tarot at once of the mintage staff parties before...

Skylar was into it, and it worked out. It was a lot of believing in myself, other people believing in me, and a lot of hard work. .

Reading tarot isn’t easy. I love it, it’s very fulfilling to me, but it is not easy.

But you can totally do it, and there’s a million ways to go about it.

No one’s journey is the same, there’s times where you have no space to read out of, there are times when the space you are reading out if you are outgrowing..

But it’s possible, and it’s just getting easier now that there’s less stigma around it. There’s a long way to go - still lots of push/pull from folks around “witch work” but whatever, you do what you do and folks are starting to come back to the old ways, so that makes it easier & more accessible for folks.

So yeah, that’s my story.

i thought tarot readers don't do Insta?

Hahah I love this one. Insta is a strange thing, especially because healing is usually a deep process, and insta is known for just the punch lines. .

I don’t use insta for the deeper stuff. Sometimes I will post about my approach to healing, but mostly I use Instagram for the “top 20 questions” that most people have about the cave.
