have you ever got freaked out by a tarot card reading?

Question

someone took me to this lady to see into my destiny and i was freaked out the amount of info this lady knew about my life and my family was overwelming , plus she used tarot cards, moon cards , some stones with simbols and a bowl of water the whole thing took close to 5 hours , and as far as present and past she was right on the spot , so what about the future it will come to pass ? had someone ever had an experience like this one ??
they other thing is that she did not charged me anything , she said that when the time was right if i wished so to give 5 US dollars to a homeless kid ? is she for real ?

does no one find weird the fact that i wasn't charge for the reading

Answer 1

I am in totally two minds about this. On the one hand I am cynical; I've read a little about a technique called "cold reading". This is where an individual uses vague suggestions and allows the person to fill in the blanks. Far from just being a cheap parlour trick, many people actually do it subconsciously and velieve them selves to be gifted.

On the other hand, I've seen unexplainable stuff and gifted people too many times for it to be just co-incidence. I have no doubt that there is stuff we are unlikely to ever be able to explain.
I'm glad you took alot of positives from your experience though

Five hours? that's a crazy amount of time to spend on a reading. Many people don't charge for readings. (I'm not one of them, but I don't charge a lot) so that's not strange.
If your friend who knows you well took you, s/he could have fed the psychic info to set you up. Or she could have been a good psychic.
I don't read Tarot cards, I do other types of readings, but I have freaked people out with my accuracy. I once knew a girl was the product of a rape and she had never even told anyone.
The future is never set in stone. Your actions every moment determine what will happen in the future. So you can always change the future. A reading just sees the trends and can guess which trend will probably happen if your behavior isn't altered.

You are very fortunate to have had this experience. I've had many readings, from psychics who freaked me out (in the same way that you were) to the ones that give the profession a bad rep. It sounds like she established her credibility by telling you stuff that you could confirm on the spot. As for her predictions about your future, please remember that YOUR destiny is ultimately in YOUR hands....the most that she or anyone can do is spell out the probabilities, and give you information you can use to make your own choices.

For example, a doctor can tell you based on your circumstances and family history what your future health might be like. S/he might say that you're at risk for diabetes. Then its up to you to make (or not make) the lifestyle changes to avoid it or at least minimize the severity of it. Likewise, a tarot reader could say that you will become a famous musician. But that's meaningless if you don't practice and perform every chance you get. Hopefully you would take to heart that you DO have the "likelihood" to be successful if you apply yourself and act accordingly. Its a choice.

As for payment, in general that there should be an equal exchange of some sort. Have you noticed that you place a higher value on advice you pay for versus advice thats freely given?

In this case, I think it added to her credibility (certainly it made quite an impression) that she did not charge you anything, just asked you to pay it forward. There is still an exchange of energy, but on a larger scale than just between you and her. That's really beautiful, for her to trust that the universe will ultimately compensate her for the energy she's given you, and also her suggestion that you give back in the form of helping someone else out.

Again, what an amazing gift you were given...and in a way you've started to give back, by sharing it here.

Tarot cards are a lot like horoscopes..the writers of horoscopes and the readers of tarot cards make a living off telling people generalizations that apply to nearly everyones lives. If they were truely physic they could have warned us of natural disasters or attacks..or the ever popular one..pick the winning lottery numbers and not have to read tarot cards. People that go to those tarot cards are usually not skeptical, otherwise they wouldn't waste their time or money going there.

Answer 5

Actually, yes, it happens quite often. I often read Tarot for myself and my family or friends and they and i are always amazed how right i am. I have had poeple that i didn't know well tell me how right i was about what i saw in the cards. It's not so much about telling your future, but giving you a new way to interpret your past and current actions to show you what will happen unless you make a change.

Answer 6

Yes, she is probably for real, in that she she really did spend five hours reading you and giving you suggestions.
Are you bound to experience anything that she predicted? Probably not.
Tarot (like runes, bones, and other divination tools) offer a framework for discussion of feelings, intentions, experiences and life in general.
I am glad you had a moving experience. But don't freak out or anything ... it's just life, you know?

Answer 7

that stuff is Satanic. Gurus, mystic mistresses, palm readers, tarot cards, fortune tellers, witches, gypsies (ones who practice satanic rituals), wicca, uji boards, and crystal balls are all evil!

~Satan's demons can easily watch our daily lives and report to a follower (fortune teller) all about you. Stuff like that opens a gateway for Satan to have his way with you. Please stay away from that stuff so nothing bad happens.
(in the Bible there was a demon of prophecy)- Jesus warns us to stay away from that kind of stuff- don't believe in cards, stones, jewels, boards, or fortune tellers- they will wreck you life!

I just don't want anything bad to happen, because several people known by someone I know have been killed, committed suicide, or have turned EVIL and DARK when they tampered with that sort of stuff.

Answer 8

If it works for you, its real! Many readers are out there with a sincere, honest approach to life and using psychic abilities in an ethical manner. (Spiritualists do it through their religion, philosophy, science following).
