kittenann said:The last time I pulled my cards out in a coffee house, and someone asked me for a reading I handed the deck to them and I also handed them the Idiots guide to the tarot which I'd had with me. I told them "Why don't you try doing a reading for yourself? If you like it you could go out and buy a deck of your own." This took the aura of "ohhhhhhh" off of me and started an interesting conversation....... which an hour or so later led to this person attempting to give ME a reading!

I too have been surprised by the people that are most interested. At first I would keep my interest in tarot and all things occult to myself - who knows what others think that means, ya know? Don't remember how it came about, but I pulled them out at work and now everybody knows and no one think it's weird at all. I've given readings to co-workers, including my supervisor and our boss! So you never know.

It's really limited me, though. I've never actually been able to do a reading for someone other than myself. I'd like to be more open about things in general, too. Maybe Tarot would be a good place to start. We'll see...
