Freewill & Predictions: Timeframes — Accurate or not?

Thursday, January 5th, 2006

Predictions are fickle things. I mainly use one tool for predicting (another for confirming) and then psychic impressions to do the rest. When it comes to dates there are often more than one date that comes up but that’s usually over a period of time.

So if a seeker has one session with a reader and gets one date, that date may come and go without the seeker knowing the details of why it actually “came and went” and nothing happened.

For example, I had predicted that some funding would come in December but I also saw January and April on three separate divinatory sessions. There was no funding in December but it turns out there was “supposed” to be. I would not of known if someone (an insider) had not told me the story around the funding not coming in December. So it may of seemed like the prediction was “wrong” when in fact, there was “supposed” to be funding coming through but it didn’t. This is where freewill steers a prediction astray.

However, I also saw January and then again April — so how could that be? Well, it turns out part of the funding will be coming in January and the other part in April!!

So the moral of the story is this: If a reader predicts a date and it doesn’t come through, it doesn’t always mean the reader is wrong… there could be uncontrollable circumstances that hinder the prediction like the proverbial: freewill!

Recent Psychic Tarot Reading Testimonial

“wow you are GREAT !!!!!!!!!! you really are !”

I was surprised to get this because the question posed was “When” and hey I have been known to ask Tarot readers (in the past before I went professional) “When will x,y,z happen?”.

As a professional, I understand that When questions are sort of an oxymoron. It’s as if the querant (seeker) expects that the event will happen at some point but just “when”. Now I’m all for positive thinking and stuff but when I do the reading or get the impression and find there is “no” when, I’m in a difficult position.

“Um, there is no when, there’s only a no: There will likely never be a when.”

Of course, I try to leave the “no” to the end after I have talked about what’s going on and such and in this case it was a “no… the two of you will not live happily ever after unless you are willing to make a compromise that I dont’ think you are willing to make” and get this response: “wow you are GREAT !!!!!!!!!! you really are !”

Of course there is freewill, but I look at percentages when forecasting the future — there’s a scale to predictions because of freewill and once a prediction has been “said” that can alter an outcome as well (freewill). If the scale is close to the extreme “no” said, then I suggest the outcome is “unlikely” and if I get pushed for an absolute I might say, “no, but if you do x,y,z — it could change to yes”. They can then decide whether x,y,z is worth their while (which usually it isn’t).

While most others were telling her — yes, it will happen — I wasn’t blindsided by the “when” question and as a person with integrity I “needed” to tell her the truth as it was presented to me. Truth, of course, is subjective and ultimately I do not believe in truth or falsehoods, good or bad; however, I use those terms because of the imagery behind the words.

So, I’m humbled to get such testimonials because somehow Tarot, oracles, and my impressions “work” and at the end of the day, I just want to help people communicate with themselves so they can better communicate with others. I want people to take positive, productive, and meaningful actions towards themselves and the people and issues they care about.

Is Tarot Pagan? How about Christian, Jewish? Isn’t it Satan worship?

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006

While many pagans are drawn to Tarot and there are decsk of pagan imagery and symbols, Tarot has roots extending from many directions.

Lets look at these roots:

Kabbalah, or Qabalah which focuses on the Tree of Life and Tarot.
Numerology and the Pythagorean theorem which focuses on the numbers of each Tarot card
Astrology which focuses on the planets, elements, etc that’s attached to each Tarot card

Then we have chrisitan, occult, paganism, mythical, pop, magikal, time periods like medieval and renaissance, fantasy, and a whole bunch of other “slants” to the same story of “78 Degrees of Wisdom”.

The Tarot is a collection of cards that form a story from life to death and rebirth (if you believe) — an allegory. (Major Arcana) It also includes the activities, events, emotions, and stressors that come our way every day (Minor Arcana).

The Tarot can be used for so many purposes, not just divination. It can be used for self-discovery, meditation, brainstorming, or learning an esoteric system.
