1. Name (Or nickname, if you prefer...)
Svet

2. Age
24

3. How long have you been reading Tarot?
It'll be 3 years next February

4. What got you involved in Tarot?
I always thought it was cool and got giddy whenever my friends would use theirs. That stuff was forbidden by my mother, but I bought my first deck a couple years ago anyway. Now she's ok with it.

5. Do you have a favourite Deck?
I read the most with my Russian and, lately, the Llewellyn. I like the look of the Housewives, but can't connect as well.

6. Do you have a favourite Card?
The Star in the Llewellyn. It has my favorite time of day, when the sky is part yellow and light, but the other half is dark and starry. You can look at the past day and the coming night at the same time.

7. What Tarot card best describes your personality?
I'm up and down, so sometimes Page of Wands, sometimes 10 of Swords or something. Just because I blow things up in my mind.

8. If you had to pick three cards to describe the day you're having, which three card combination would you choose and why?
Just the 6 of Wands, since I'm learning about others here and adding to the questionaire.


9. Do you read intuitively?
Now I do, and I'm glad I made the switch.

10. Do you practice any other forms of divination?
I have a rune set I bought in panic about Harry Potter night. Haven't seriously used it though.

11. Are you a religious person?
Right now? I don't have a religion really, just certain beliefs I'm kicking around.

12. Do you have a Tarot Mentor? Who are they? How do they inspire you?
I'm inspired by this forum and other places I get insights from, but no personal mentor.

13. Describe the most accurate reading you've done.
The last few online readings have been good.

14. How does reading Tarot make you feel?
Since I started giving readings that felt "on", it's great. It's a high and I'd like to read more often.

15. Is there a card that continually stumps you?
There might be something I have trouble with in a reading, but not one card all the time.

16. Do you have a favourite tarot spread?
Basic 3 card, baby. Horizontal, vertical, past-present-future, how 2 people/things connect....

17. Do you charge for your readings?
No.

18. Stangest place you've read tarot?
It wasn't strange, but at an art society shindig in college. It was fun, lots of people there. I read for strangers the first time.

19. If you could create one card to add to your deck, what would it be called? What would this card mean?
It would be a vision and a feeling, not just paper and words. Not sure what it would say, but it would transport you.

20. Does anyone you know not agree with your tarot practices?
I don't think anyone is outright against it.

21. Ever regretted a particular reading?
There's some I bombed on, but that was lack of experience.

22. Do you read for yourself as well as others?
Yeah, but I don't do as well.

23. Have you predicted any mainstream/world events using Tarot?
No.

24. Do you read with reversals?
Not anymore.

25. Is there anything else you'd like to add?
!Aye Dios mio, es Skipito Bandito!
