- Well sorry to hear about this bad situation Dawn.
-
- If I were in your shoes I probably would give the person in question a good
- talking to about self fufilling prophesies.
- Using example out of myth (like Opedius) to illustrate.
-
- Personally, I wlill give a disclaimer brefore I do a reading.
- I tell them the cards are more useful as a meditaive device that lets thenm
- examine thier life, rather than bieng 'fortune tellers'.
- (then they go on to bee eeirily accurate... sigh)
- I also tell them beforehand not to get upset if a 'bad' card shows up.
- Death can mean many thindgsa...
- Each card can have numerous interpitations.
- Death can mean death of a person, a lifestyle, an idea, an outlook.
- It can also mean re-brith.
- When you break up with a mate, you feel like you have died. But eventually
- a new, wiser if sadder person is born.
-
- I also tell them that this reading is only accurate for this moment. You can leave
- leave and within a short time span do something that totally changes the outcome.
-
- For example, the reading may have meant that if she did not help her
- daughter, this could be the outcome.
- If she gets her daughter help, it will be invalid.
-
- The danger with trat cards (oops traot cards) is that people will take them too
- seriously. Like all those newagers who think that buying that one crystal
- will make them a great, spritual person, on the lever of budda...
- Its not the crystal, its whithin them. sm
- The same goes for the cards.
- Jaguar
- please excuse typos
- my fingers have run off with the keyboard...
