Used Tarot & Oracle Cards — Empaths and Clairsentients

Saturday, March 11th, 2006

I have started buying some things from eBay — including Tarot & oracle cards — and I noticed that the energy from these things (especially the cards) are very strong. Which is why I no longer allow seekers to handle the cards but if I do I have a “special set” that is for seekers handling only!! In other words, I won’t rely on them for my regular work but if someone wants or needs to touch the cards — those ones come out to play!

I suggest NOT to buy Tarot or oracle cards, if they are used (slightly used can be okay if it was just a look at the cards and not much else), because the energy of the reader combined with the distaste/disrespect for the cards may come through in a reading.

The two slightly used card decks I received (one was a bonus to buying a book so it didn’t matter) both have energies and smells that do not allow me to use them for reading purposes.

So if you are empathic or clairsentient, like myself, avoid buying used cards. Having said that, I did buy a “like new, slightly used” deck and the energy is perfect in them. I suspect they didn’t really use them OR respected the cards. This was a knowledge based choice that allowed me to use my intuitive skills to choose the “right” used deck. 🙂 (my psychic abilities are not turned on 24/7 and I try not to run my life based on them either but sometimes it’s useful!! *grin*)

On Death and Dying (including relationship breakup and career loss): The Five Stages of Grief

Saturday, March 11th, 2006

It’s been said that the ALL 5 stages MUST be completed before any permanent healing can be had. The stages may not come in order and may be repeated several times. Some people also never heal because they get stuck!
Example Loss of Job (fired)

  1. DENIAL — I don’t believe it. This isn’t happening. I will wake up tomorrow and it will be all just a bad dream. Next month: still not looking for work and hoping to get a call to be re-hired!
  2. ANGER — “shove it! I didn’t need this stinking job anyway.”
  3. BARGAINING — “maybe if I tell them I will work for free until they see again how they couldn’t possibly let me go!”
  4. DEPRESSION — “It’s no use. I’m a failure and they know I’m a failure”.
  5. ACCEPTANCE — “You know, this is actually a great thing that I’m not working there anymore. I’m thankful what I have learned from the past and it’s time to move on.There are opportunities out there for me and I’m going to go get one of them. “

One solution to feeling better is to a big cry or — TEAR

T = To accept the reality of the loss
E = Experience the pain of the loss
A = Adjust to the new environment without the lost object
R = Reinvest in the new reality

A reader, like myself, can help seekers in the healing process; however, it’s important to note that psychics may not licensed to coach, counsel, or consult in a particular field (i.e. grief counseling) and it may be wise to consult a licensed professional while at the same time keeping yourself open to a psychic reading.
