I am here out of pure love and admiration for all the wonderful tarot readers of KZbin. I created this channel with the intention of giving back. In a time of my own personal loss and confusion, I watched more pick-a-card readings than I could count, and each one helped me through my emotional pain. This channel is in appreciation to these readers and to Spirit, so that I could return the light, love, and guidance.

[@cherylsibson8457]

Thanks for doing this, it helps to when you do a spread, for people who don't quite get something and can refer back. Thanks so much!

[@FireflyTarot]

Yes very good point, I used to use them back in the day but now it's just a free-for-all 😂. Maybe I'll experiment with them again someday soon

[@JENESCO99]

Hi, I wanted to write and say that so far YOU ARE THE ONLY person (and this has been the ONLY video) I've seen of explaining how to shuffle the way you did. I've asked many people on other tarot "how to's" before and looked specifically for that and not 1 person has literally sat and explained that. not even showed it or even showed it slowed down like you did. So I want to thank you because I actually gave up even trying and now watching this will try again doing it that way. I appreciate this tons. 🙏🏼 ❤

[@FireflyTarot]

Jen, awww I'm so glad I could help and thank you for letting me know! 😭 I know how frustrating it can be to learn something new without the proper instruction. I'll be posting more tarot videos in January, best of luck on your journey! 💖🙏

[@jenk11]

blows my mind you've only had this channel a year; your intuition and the way you present the reads and are so polished and spot-on and you have such a confident comforting presence.

[@FireflyTarot]

So sweet, thank you ☺️. Definitely came with practice and I appreciate your kind words 🙏💖

[@bytirbenna]

Agree! 💜

[@cobaltblues8688]

Agree So Much with your message here!

[@CherryBerryFashion]

Did you just really shared with us your whole process so that we can do such an awesome readings ourselves? What a gift, thank you 🥺🙏🏻 sending blessings your way xx

[@FireflyTarot]

Lol yes! Tarot has changed my life and been an amazing gift, so any gift must be shared. Tarot readings truly help the collective so any way that I could contribute to our collective healing, I'm all for! Thank you for the kind words 💖🙏

[@CherryBerryFashion]

@@FireflyTarot Thank you, love you so much 💖💖 btw it were my guides who showed me your channel xx they seem to like dropping messages here 😆

[@aaluchodi]

me: *sees firefly tarot posted something* me: *clicks faster than the speed of life*

[@CherryBerryFashion]

😂😂👐🏻

[@murrumbidgeekid]

I Want to watch immediately but usually wait until I can give the post my full attention. Or I am Made to wait 😁- internet or computer glitches. That sort of thing.

[@NewFoundationsReiki]

I have been binge watching videos about tarot as I’m trying to learn and I’m new to it. This by far is my favorite so far it touches on things nobody else is talking about. Thank you.

[@FireflyTarot]

What a lovely comment! Thank you so much and I'm so glad it is helpful 😊😊

[@AChorister1]

I really like it when readers set their boundaries with Spirit; as in, "I do not read reversals." You made sure to tell your Guides that if they want to give you a message, you will need a card. 😊❤🤭 You are a great teacher, Christina.

[@ayababez1]

It's very interesting that you created this video that i haven't even watched yet. You are my favorite tarot reader. I love how you explain tarot as you read. You teach and the last time I watched your readings I made a decision that I would just listen to all of your reading just to learn tarot from you and then for it to be Monday and I see the name of this video. All i can say is thank you and thank you for being courageous enough to put yourself on this platform and be used by spirit, Thank you for your vulnerability and hard work, I appreciate your light work. God bless you.

[@FireflyTarot]

Wow thank you so much! That is very kind and I'm so happy to hear that my readings are helping you in your journey. Best of luck to you and I'm sure you will be a very skilled reader! 🙏💖

[@LoveIsAlwaysHereChooseLove]

I'm still learning how to read. I went through my deck and found there were, the way I perceived them, 46 good cards, 20 neutral cards, and 12 negative cards. It's fun to learn about the different decks! I enjoy your videos so much! Thank you!

[@cathyaheinz]

I like your honesty. It makes sense that NOBODY can always get it right. This is what makes me know you're the real deal. No fluff.

[@JaiCahill-cd1uw]

I've been reading for 25years, often I'll see negativity in the cards and it's my job to tell the querant. One thing I don't tell is relationship breakup as I think it is unfair and puts it in the. Quarants mind that the relationship is doomed whereas it all depends on what the querant does as the the outcome of that breakup. There can be many possible outcomes. I learnt from you today to leave the reading in a positive note, that is brilliant and I will start doing that right now so they leave with a sense of empowerment and the ability to take their life where THEY want it to go.

[@angelyght340]

ive been on a tarot journey and have been having some trouble remembering/interpreting the cards, and now you've uploaded this and im so grateful 😭😭 tysm!!!

[@SpiritSpeakerLillian]

I am blown away at how similar you and I are in our story and process. I am new at KZbin and listening to you is giving me so much confirmation in my own process. Thank you for being so open and authentic.

[@robertchu753]

The level of detail that is presented in this video is what sets it apart from all the other tarot instructional videos online. This is by far the best, most informative video I’ve seen so far. Thank you for taking the time to make this. I look forward to watching future videos you release.

[@biapedasi8587]

my very first tarot deck just arrived. I've been studying for a while but I couldn't start without watching the video of my favorite one! ❤️🧿

[@inspiredbaker]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! This is so wonderful. I feel so much care was put into the making of this video. Much gratitude here and sending love~

[@shiram88]

You are, at the moment, my most favorite tarot reader on KZbin, so this is obviously such a gift! Thank you sooo much for this! 🙏❤❤

[@loretta_sharingroup]

I LOVE the way you read and pull the cards! It is ABSOLUTELY how I would do it and it resonates with me so much! Thank you soo much for teaching the Collective. Your contribution and your voice stretches so much further than you know!! ❤️ 🌸 🥰

[@CelestiaSays]

I how you know how amazing you are! All your readings are so intuitive and psychic, easy to understand, and sincere. Thank you for sharing your process, I'm a big fan!!!

[@foxynai]

I love watching your videos. So many times you have hit the nail on the head! I felt like I was getting a personal reading. Thank you so much so sharing your gift with everyone. 🌻

[@charuOm1133]

Firefly, what can I say, this is so generous of you!! Absolutely helpful. Looking forward to more master classes from you. I just love your style. Love and light to you, my dear. ❤😊😊

[@americandreamsicle1]

I've been with you for about a year now. Of all the other readers, you are the only one that feel comfortable with. No frills, relaxed, straight to the point. I had a personal reading YEARS ago. So the whole idea has been in my mind set. You have inspired me to delve into my intuition and develop it, along with another guide. Thank you so much for coming to me at the right time.

[@FireflyTarot]

Lovely, thank you ☺️💖🙏

[@Andy-cu6hb]

Thank you so much for this! It’s awesome seeing more content from you! I love all your videos and pick a cards it’s exciting seeing something new!

[@user-zd7xw2lp1o]

thanks so much for this video!!!!!! I've been eagerly waiting for it ever since you mentioned it a few videos ago

[@FireflyTarot]

My pleasure, and what's funny is I actually originally mentioned it many, many months ago 😂😅. Hope it helps!

[@springboi385]

fascinating! that's the reason why your reading resonates with almost everyone watching..

[@Flauras]

Thank you for sharing your process. You've provided so much clarity for me with regards to the shuffling and potential imagery interpretation. I feel like you've given me some additional pieces of the puzzle that I've been unknowingly trying to find and I'm starting to get a better grasp of the bigger picture. Many thanks. You're fantastic! x

[@AngelWhispers-ym2nl]

Thank you SO much for taking time out of your day to share your knowledge with us! This is soooo helpful ! Thank you thank you! Love and light 💜

[@daniellearismendez1762]

Wow this was so healthful and groundbreaking on my learning tarot I knew I wasn’t interpreting the pics. I don’t see why you worry so much about your organization I think your methods are amazing helpful and honest and you always help with the most real natural way of explaining. Love your channel and my go to stop for when I’m stuck always!

[@carolweaver3269]

This was wonderful. Thank you for this help to get one started and an idea to not stop using our intuition, because of thinking we should not use our intuition as it would be wrong. This frees the soul.

[@aprilbondmusic]

Thank you!! I feel so heard - just requested this a few days ago, and I look forward to more instructive videos from you. I admire your reading style so much, and it has really (or my attempts to mimic it) helped me connect with my process so much better. Traditional 7- or 10-card spreads have never made me feel like I could tap into my own intuition, and I just can’t thank you enough!

[@FireflyTarot]

Wonderful!! So glad it helped and good luck on your continuing journey ^__^

[@Intuwitchin]

Thank you Firefly! This is awesome!

[@Marayot]

I came across your channel about a month ago and you have become one of my favorites to listen to. Thank you for sharing/ making this video. I liked how you presented it because I'm not good with overly structured settings.

[@lomat1724]

Thank you so much for your generosity! I loved watching this video. Especially about the intuitive hits, I will try to pay even more attention now to the subtle things that pop out!

[@BlackThorndRose]

I really enjoyed this video, thank you so much! There were so many excellent tips that I’ve either never considered or weren’t explained in such an easy way. I would love if you would continue this as a series if you feel called to!💗

[@gayatrikulkarni4824]

Awaited this video for so long... please keep posting such videos... your personal readings helped me a lot... thank you... love and light...

[@VLoveCrystals]

Love your systems. much love to you. I've been doing tarot for a year and half on my channel but we'll always continue learning. that's my goal. learning to interpret cards intuitively as they give meaningful and deeper readings. love your videos!!

[@illuminee]

Thank you for sharing your process!

[@ProfessorSingSong]

I love your approach to intuitively seeing/being drawn to images on the cards!

[@wiggy3333]

You did a wonderful job with this video. You are a natural teacher!

[@Sandra-P.713]

Thank you so much for this! You are so talented and I'm really grateful you shared some of it with us. 💖

[@Sunshine_str]

I'm glad I have your alerts on )

[@sheliaharlan7207]

Thank you for your time and effort in producing this video. It's very informative, affirming and helpful. I appreciate your readings a lot.

[@jojo_mystified]

Thank you for this video! Every word was gold! I learned so much here. For the most part I've always been drawn to oracle cards but this video has started to unlock tarot for me now. Great work! 👍:)

[@marzsoul]

Thank you for this. I’ve been waiting to hear your story and how you read tarot.

[@jennaperkins7432]

I've watched so many KZbin videos and yours just clicked! Thank you so much for your calm spirit and presence. Your easy going teaching and awesome knowledge have taught me so much!

[@FireflyTarot]

What a beautiful comment, thank you so much! 😊💖

[@lianxie5582]

Your voice is very pleasant and authoritative. I really like your specific timbre

[@FireflyTarot]

Never heard that one before, thank you 😁💖

[@miss_mister]

this is so helpful!! im getting my first deck from a friend soon but recently tried doing it for some friends with a regular deck or cards. it went well but i was really worried because i didn't know what i was doing, so im really happy you made this video! its super helpful!❤

[@FireflyTarot]

Great to hear! Good luck on your tarot journey! ☺️💖

[@kathyamortegui1575]

Wow it was great! Waiting for more videos. Thank you 💖

[@cherryblossom0426]

I was just wondering about a video like this, thank you Spirit 💖

[@diannaprice1717]

Thank you so much for your assistance in reading tarot cards I love oracle cards and I am getting better at tarot reads for myself. I am learning a lot.

[@elizandrolorensi6571]

Oh my Gosh, i'm totally in love with your voice!!! It has such a beautiful energy and your readings are simply amazing!!!

[@KristyBryson]

Thank you for sharing your process! This is an excellent video.

[@chilli1352]

Thank you so much. Love you and your readings

[@judyhundredaire]

Thank you so much for this. I've always been intimidated by tarot. Then youtube magic showed me one of your videos (I wasn't looking for tarot, but I have been watching lenormand, somewhat related) and I got hooked on your amazing reading skills! It is so interesting to hear your process in this video and gain understanding about the cards. Feeling much less intimidated now!

[@blessingsoflove]

I'm back!! Just recently finding it hard to match spreads on the internet to questions asked by the seeker. So I put out 5 cards and reading intuitively. I find more messages intuitively than from the spreads I used. Thank you kindly angel 😇 Blessings of love 💜

[@daniellehamilton894]

I shuffle my decks the way I do because of you. 😁💖

[@annettesecogarden]

Thank you so much, this is extremely helpful, more than you could think!

[@poetictemperance]

You are a literal Godsend ♥️♥️♥️ Thank you

[@cheggs9]

[@leabell5763]

Thank you that was really helpful!! 💓

[@cassmiller137]

Great video. I appreciate you sharing your personal tarot experience & knowledge. A different perspective is always helpful. Thank you!

[@lena_xd_5595]

Thank you for teaching us! It really helps me and I‘m sooo excited to do my own tarot readings. What‘s funny is that I tried your shuffeling method where you only put one card next do the other ( btw it‘s not that easy, but skill comes with practice ) and the card that fell out was the three of swords which is exactly the card you put out as well! That‘s awesome ✨

[@lilpeepkin4377]

Thank you so much for this video! Has really helped me alot❤️❤️❤️ Sending u love!

[@rawr4444]

That is a beautiful story Thanks for sharing!

[@kathleendado4230]

Great and informative help in learning the cards. You made it note clear and a lot easier for people! Thank you. You did very well.

[@suzannenichols6900]

This was great and I really resonated with so much of what you said. I love the way you interpret your Tarot readings and I just loved the whole talk. Thanks. 💕

[@FireflyTarot]

Thank you so much! 😊🙏

[@HealingHallie]

I just started doing tarot, I wanted to find something to learn and guide me in the proper way & you did that! You are such a great teacher. Thank you so much for making this! I am so eager to learn! You are such an angel and have an amazing kind energy about you. I love it. Thank you again. Will def watch and learn more of your videos.

[@FireflyTarot]

I just found your channel and watched this video and it was extremely helpful! I'm an aspiring tarot reader and this gave me many useful tips. I look forward to watching more of your videos and learning much more. Thank you!💖🙏

[@KitsKards]

Awesome!! Many blessings!

[@helenaromu4698]

Thank you for give us a Master class, I’ve enjoyed till the very first second , as always do with all your readings. Hugs from Spain.

[@karenduplessis5888]

Wow, thank you for your help.

[@silverscreencc]

You did an excellent job with your explanations. It was organized. No need to comment about any perceived shortcomings. I always enjoy your readings. I can feel your authenticity. Thank you for sharing your back story. I think about associations when trying to remember but I did not consider the themes. Sometimes, just 1 word that you associate with a card is enough bc then you can associate like words with the initial word & expand on the meaning. But intuition and gut feelings R key. This video was a generous gift to us all.

[@FireflyTarot]

Thanks so much for kind words and feedback! Blessings 💖🙏

[@n0tgunshy]

Excellent video. Thank you!

[@CarlaSophieMar]

Came here from today's video, and thought of reminding you to add this one to your playlist "How to read tarod cards" 😉 I'll definitely be coming back to watch all of these videos 😍 You're a marvelous teacher, as if it wasn't enough that you were already an incredibly gifted tarot reader 👌 Grateful for you!

[@FireflyTarot]

Thank you so much!! 😊

[@ingridmonzon5322]

[@erikashanae]

This was amazing. I hope you do more videos like this

[@ToniCherub]

Your a little twinkle ✨ teaching is so brilliant and showing others how and giving tips is brilliant of you to do it for others that want to do it and are not born with it. You are an exceptional reader and your guides are so beautiful because you are doing something from Romany times I know this because it’s in my bloodline and we do similar things. Going back to a normal pack of cards this is a very old ancient way with crystals and reading reversible cards we don’t do that either. Looking forward to seeing how you grow your a little gem 💎

[@rovinggypsy1555]

Thank you for your guidance..
