I love the Tarot. When I lived in Austin, I was listed in the Metaphysical book as a "psychotarotologist" because I used the cards not to tell fortunes, per se... but to help people see what was holding them back, psychologically, in their own growth. Blending my two loves of psychology and the Tarot.

I hate that so many of our metaphysical shops and gatherings are once again being harrassed by evangelicals and charismatics. This was the last scene I saw in a reading I did before Bush was elected. *Everything* I predicted in that reading came true... but this one was holding out. Now we're getting harrassed like we were in the 1980's. Only this time, it's different because even us Pagans are up in arms! (LOL)

I've thought about how neat it would be if, with all the postings we've done from YouTube on Readers, and those of us on DU who do read... whether Tarot, Runes, Astrology, etc. How neat it would be to just have a little corner for ourselves where we could do readings and share back and forth with each other. It's kind of a step out of this forum, and not everyone who's interested in spirituality and healing are into divination. When I ran my BBS, back in the old days, I had a forum like that offered. We'd often do set times for readings and then all meet and tell each other what our readings said... and then do compare and contrast. It was fun.
