Any other tarot reading prep tips, friends?? Let me know! 👇

[@Kristie88]

Hi thank you for sharing your knowledge with us 🙏 I would like to ask for those who are readers, if we just do tarot readings recorded for collective should we protect our energy and how? Thank you in advance because I am feeling drained and weak lately and I was hospitalized for that...❤🙏

[@PersephonesSister]

Oh my, hope you're recovering. The drain is real. Keep your boundaries firm! I'll ponder if I have any strategies and maybe I'll post a video about that soon ❤️

[@Kristie88]

@@PersephonesSister thank you so much for your help. If you can of course I will be very grateful 🙏

I have done a lot of psychic nights, tarot parties and worked on tarot lines where it is client after client after client. By the end of the night i was often nearly doubled over with pain in my abdomen. Weird but connected to the mental drain. Do not drink alcohol before a reading but do drink water and stay hydrated through out. Even if it is sip or two every now and then.

[@NestingNova]

Steps : 1. Journal, 2. Get clear, 3.get the right reader, 4. Prepare your space, 5. Mediate, 6. Notebook ,notepad, or recording 7. Know what your are willing to share. 8. Prepare to be honest

[@sarafreitas7826]

New here. New in tarot readings with all the cards. I literally have spent 7 hours on my first card… had a headache, gone for a few walks and then it hit me, was later night. So sometimes you can have that right questions but you never thought on that one possibility that is in the card. It’s a mind opener.

[@hotwaterisspicy]

Thank you for this! This helps me a lot in doing readings for myself (I'm very new to tarot) and knowing what to look for and think about!

[@PersephonesSister]

Thank you! Yes, even reading for yourself it's important to prepare. Sounds like you're doing all the right things to build your tarot journey 💖

[@josiefelix9941]

thank you for sharing this!!

[@PersephonesSister]

You're so welcome ✨

[@parvatidust]

Thank you for this. I'm relatively new to Tarot but its clear that what you get out of the cards is proportional to the honesty. curiosity, and imagination you bring to them. We are not on that deep level all the time with work, the world and other people blowing your mind. You have to shut that noise off and connect/meditate, and slow tf down. Open yourself up and see what happens. I have a reading coming uo in 2 weeks and these ideas are super helpful. Thank you ❤.

[@arzumardalieva3874]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@heathersmith5237]

What an excellent guide to how to make the most of a Tarot reading. Thank you for this!

[@PersephonesSister]

You’re so welcome!

[@EstherJ53]

This was definitely helpful

[@PersephonesSister]

I'm so glad! 🌟

[@ahab4093]

The steampunk tarot is killing meeeee

[@JJBird1118]

I’m new to practicing tarot so this was very helpful! Thanks so much for this insight. Just subbed!

[@PersephonesSister]

I'm so glad! ❤️❤️

[@followme8238]

Thank you for your insights. I’m wrestling with the concept of how much to divulge, how specific to get - as that could either subconsciously or intentionally shape the direction of the reading

[@PersephonesSister]

Yes it's a tough thing!

[@JessicaC.]

Thank you so much for your insight I truly appreciate it! I think I really needed to hear what you specifically had to say to me. I searched for how to prepare for a reading. You were not the top three choices after I searched. I scrolled until I felt drawn to somebody and I felt very drawn to you. And you said exactly what I needed to hear and exactly the right way that helps me to understand more as I explore this journey to spirituality. Thank you so much 💜 definitely subscribing! I just wanted to let you know. The reason that you resonated with me is your humor. You and I have the same humor and the same sarcastic wit! Thank you thank you thank you thank you 💞

[@PersephonesSister]

Thank you, this is so lovely to hear! Wishing you a beautiful journey 💖

[@julianmejia6528]

This was really funny thank you

[@wendynordon6796]

Tips on how to open up would be great xxx

[@ravenrain3331]

That opera song in the background is it called care selve? It brought back choir memories in my past lol.

[@lesleypanton8204]

I’ve just discovered your channel and I’m loving it so far! So sweet natured and lovely. Just one thing though 🥺🥺 and it’s not a huge deal it’s just something that is minor frustrating and that’s the music on in the background. I was trying so hard not to click off this video but that classical music in the background is so distracting that I just found myself clicking out of it which sucks because this is a video I really wanted to watch! Love your channel though girl you’re killing it!

[@kayzinc07]

I found this video to be so amazingly helpful for me being new to tarot in its entirety. I was drawn to the cards and started exploring them on my own. I've been thinking of getting a reading from someone but I wouldn't even know where to start. Who do I go to, how do I choose? Furthermore, what should I expect in terms of the exchange between the reader and myself etc. Like is it ok to dialog during a reading? Wow! This video has given remarkable insight it answered so many questions for me, some of which I didn't know I even had. Thank you for this! Your content is so very well put together and very insightful. I appreciate your frankness, honesty and how you share your own experiences, this really helps me put your ideas into perspective. Keep em coming sis!

[@PersephonesSister]

This is so sweet and beautiful to hear! Thank you, many blessings!!

[@neliaferreira9983]

I am new to tarot reading as well, but I have already been reading for people. I prefer it when people do dialog with me during readings. It helps me pinpoint what the cards are saying, and sometimes cards will flip off the deck as the person is saying something in particular! Now, I had a man talk (monologue) for two hours and not even let me finish my sentences, that was aggravating! And I have had poker-faces look at me and not help me at all. So, talk, be open and honest, ask, but don't divert from the topic like a drunk on steroids or interrupt the reading too much.

[@PersephonesSister]

So true!

[@Prettydred80]

This was super helpful, I prepared for a reading watched several YT’s of this person I actually thought I was over prepared but I was the one trying to cram every single question of life I had in an hour and a half session...sorry😬 He was a good sport but I’m sure I was a drain. My next reading I will only focus on a few pertinent things and let spirit show me the way. Thank you for these great tips!!!

[@PersephonesSister]

I'm so glad this was helpful! Yes I totally get that, we want to use our time as much as we can but it can be a lot sometimes. Thank you for sharing that! ❤️

[@jamesnammack7535]

For several years I did readings in psychic fairs, psychic expos, Celtic festivals, Scottish games festivals, private divination parties, Wiccan festivals, and online. We often did readings for clients back-to-back and there was no time between readings for meditating, giving yourself space, and all that. I just made sure that I shuffled my deck very, very thoroughly, and my readings were 100 percent accurate 100 percent of the time. The rest is, from my perspective, just mindless hocus pocus.

[@PersephonesSister]

Yes of course, when I work at fairs or events there’s no time for space setting or cleansing or the like. But this is really for the 95% of readers who pull cards for themselves and want to feel centered and connected. They want to make it feel special, and these are ways to do that 👍

[@Livingtabitha]

Haha that sounds like the Deviant Moon Tarot. I actually love that deck but I'm a bit of a weirdo. I have everything from cartoony like The Dark Mansion, to Deviant Moon to hold white floral shiny. I'm a mixed bag. Depends on the mood I am in.

[@PersephonesSister]

Haha it could be! I don’t know for sure. I’m just over the top girly so that kind of stuff does not fit into my 8 year old aesthetic lol

[@Livingtabitha]

@@PersephonesSister I actually love your aesthetic. I can really appreciate and embrace the femininity you are releasing. It makes me want to get more in touch with my divine feminine. I feel like I've been overly masculine my entire life. Probably for reasons of control. The more I try to get in touch with my divine feminine the more florally I get lol.

[@CricketsBay]

Owlmoon513 has videos on connecting with the divine feminine--I like her recommendations for Persephone and Lilith in particular--and there are no girly floral decks in there.

[@maxinedanvers282]

U so remind mi of my own daughter its crazy omg

[@dominikawilczynsks5748]

hi I'm going to tarot reading today for the first time! I'm so excited but I was wondering do I need to ask my reader if it's okay to record it like on a voice note .or shall I just leave my phone in my pocket ready recording I just don't want to piss them off or for them to think I'm rude haha .

[@PersephonesSister]

That's a great question! 99% of tarot readers are totally fine with you recording it, just let your reader know you're going to make sure they're aware ❤️❤️ Have a great reading!

[@seekwisdom5102]

Which deck is this card that you showed towards the end? A person holding a stick or something. So pretty.

[@PersephonesSister]

It's the Ethereal Visions Tarot, so gorgeous! 💖

[@ekorri]

Hi! Thank you for this video. I went to my first reading today. I was wondering if it is common that the reader ends the session 10-15 minutes earlier? I didn’t come to the reading very prepared and was pretty nervous. Now i am afraid that i offended the reader. Keep up the good work!

[@PersephonesSister]

I don't think it's common to end a session early, perhaps your reader had a reason to cut it short. But I really don't think you offended your reader! In this profession it's their job to be patient and empathetic 💖💖

[@Lala-vm4ci]

They didn't give me a sticker was it even worth it so funny you seem very much like me x

[@PersephonesSister]

💗💗

[@incognito8448]

a joint and two shots of bourbon usually gets me in the mood for a tarot reading....or was that a mood for something else ?

[@bluemoonwitch]

🇧🇷💜

[@seekwisdom5102]

Thanks for your video. Next time, please turn the music down or no sound at all. For us hard-of-hearing the background noise makes it super hard to hear you clearly. It was difficult for me. Blessings

[@PersephonesSister]

Thanks for the input, will do! 👍

[@kennewts9902]

you look just like that girl i dated in high school those glasses remind me of her we were consedered both as nerds i was a nerd at least thats the crowd i attracked in high school

[@LavenderLightt]

Sorry but I'm a little confused. People will come to a tarot reader and want the reader to do a reading on someone else's life? What does that mean, reading for 3rd parties?

[@PersephonesSister]

It means when you come to a reading and ask the reader to tell you about someone who’s not there like, “tell me what my boyfriend is thinking” or “why is my mother acting this way?” Because they are not there they are a third party and for many readers they don’t want to guess at their actions or motivations

[@LavenderLightt]

@@PersephonesSister Oh okay. Thank you. 😃🩵

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

I'm confused by... "don't pick a reader based on aesthetic." And "this person's aesthrtic was completly off from mine."
