Does anyone here read cards or believe in psychics?

Sure. The deck is roughly half-finished. I had to take a break from it this past school year because of time constraints, but I have some down time in the next couple of weeks and hope to get more of it done.

Agreed. Also, I have had weird things happen,on two separate occasions when I went to psychics in past. They became antagonistic, asking me why I was seeking their counsel when I was psychic myself? :?

The thought that there isn't really any choice for us other than playing a 'rail shooter' game of life is disturbing. However, I think since life is so mundane we never take the time to review important aspects of our life or project future events. Looking at a deck of cards might help form outline topics for the parts of our lives that we have forgotten to think about and lead us to anticipate based on current events what could happen. A good 'fortune teller' probably does just that. I bet one could make a list of a dozen life events in Excel (or other spreadsheet) and then have about half show up randomly.

Then discuss or list possible outcomes based on what you think could happen. It would be more fun if someone else is coming up with events you would not think of.

According to these women, I guess I am! :) But then, they would have to be genuine psychics themselves, to make such an assessment, and I wouldn't know about that.

But seriously, I think psychic abilities are no more than the brain's amazing ability to discern patterns, and predict outcomes based upon them. In my case, at least.

These are some of the decks I like:

http://www.kipper-karten.de/

This is one that I'm learning currently. It's literal English translation is "Dump truck maps" which I used to think was hilarious.

This is the deck I am proficient with:

http://www.lenormand-wahrsagekarten.de/ ... e_eule.php

I had really wanted to learn a multiple deck method with this deck:

http://www.zigeuner-karten.de/verschiebeseite.php

All of these decks have 36 cards. There are no reversals, it's more card combinations. I read linear five card rows and use each card (or set of cards) as a word or phrase with the entire row being a sentence (which is the answer to the posed question). This works very well for me.

I was never able to make much sense of it though. I was getting to the point where I was interested in combining more than one deck with the Lenormand cards and it was beginning to make sense, then I walked away from my cards for a while. It seems like I do better with honing methods in the Winter months. Not certain why that is.

Interesting topic... I have no idea how I have managed to miss it... Anyway...

I do have a deck I am fond of and people sometimes ask me to read for them, so apparently I am not horrible with them. My husband is much better at it all than I am though. He has been doing that for a long time. I tend to be drawn to numbers over cards though. I prefer that method of dealing with people over tarot, as they are much more straight forward to me. But cards can be fun.

I actually do believe in psychics as well... granted some of them are ridiculous and full of this or that, but some of those people are spot on. My mom (at age 20-something) had some tea leaf reading lady tell her all of these things that have one by one played out in her life over forty plus years. The lady was good.

Those are interesting. I like the medieval look of the last deck.

I tend to shuffle mine (though not very well, I am dyspraxic). If one or 2 fall out I put them in the spread... then I fan them out and choose some cards which appear to be jumping out at me. I always make sure the cards are right way up, I dont like reversals... then after I spread them in a line, or some other formation that takes my fancy, I just look at the cards, and try and think about what is coming up when I am looking at them. I sort of view the layout as being in a chronological order, with the right-most card being in the future and the left cards being the past or present.

I don't add them when this happens - to me this is the answer to the question. I like that you go with what works for you. I never liked spreads. They were too much to remember and to restrictive. I probably would have liked them more if I took your approach. I am so stuck on rules most of the time that I have trouble with free-flowing anything, hahahaha...

Alternatively, have you ever considered playing cards?

Yes. I do personality reads. I got into numerology about seven years ago and found it interesting, so I ran with it.

I used to email a fellow who used playing cards instead of tarot... he swore by them. I have never tried that method myself. I like the idea of it, but my memory is not at all what it used to be and I think I would have a hard time remembering what was what. I am not so confident in my own ability with the deck I have now... I have been into tarot for only five years or so, but I still think I should be better with them than I am. They just never clicked in my head like numbers do, I guess.
