hi, all
i have been following this thread and wanted to have a discussion on another point that to me seemed related but still different enough to justify another thread and that i believe to also be important
http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=136300
i had been reading cartomancy for years, when i started tarot i decided that a good way to learn was to go an pay for some readings and see how other people were interpreting the cards
i still do this sometimes just to see how other people interpret
what has had me angry on several ocasions was the evident personal bias of the reader, such as twisting evidentely good card combinations to suite their own view of how the issues should be and giving such obvious biased negative advice is not even worth mentioning
it had made me angry because there are not many people out there that use the tarot and so when they go to a reader they would not have the knowledge to see the bias
i have to say that reading and geting readings here on AT has been a wonderfull experience for me as there seems to be a total and complete lack of personal bias in the way the cards are interpreted
but in a face to face reading my experince has been to the opposite
how about you what are your experiences on this and how do you manage to keep your own lives out of your readings?
