- I think you missed the point of Dawn's argument/concern. She obviously
- has a handle on her deck. Her problem was she did a reading for someone
- else who did not. When that other person saw the cards and attached
- meanings to them, she was incapable of counteracting their immediate wrong
- impressions.
-
- The question is how you do this? How do you overcome the fears/concerns
- of others in readings when they see or hear things that to someone skilled
- in the tradition mean one thing, and to someone not skilled means
- something else?
-
- I never have been able to figure this out, and for that reason am _very_
- reluctant to give readings to others.
-
- Comment?
