@Marina y'know when you're reading the cards for someone... and you just KNOW that a particular comment or message is for them? Like somewhere in your being there's just something nudging you to say X - and that X may have just popped into your head even though it may not necessarily be a strict traditional card interpretation? This is the feeling I have gotten. No very often. But I've had it. So - when I was lying down having my Reiki initiations and I saw myself sitting at a bar... and then casually looked down and saw a white dog at my side (a white wolf/arctic fox) - I just KNEW - that it was not something I'd just made up in my head. I HEARD the floorboards creaking like someone was walking around me towards the nearby wall (I had my eyes closed) - and I knew it wasn't my tutor, because she was standing over me (I could feel the warmth of her body). And I knew there was no-one else in the house. I could go on... For me - these things have only happened when I was not trying to find a guide. And - I did a large share of TRYING. What with guided meditations, path working, reading books on the subject etc. But it was like - when I stopped really trying - after I'd done all the research I could - that it just happened.

Creating a designated spread for the question at hand really helps understanding the issue to begin with. It's like mapping the terrain. However ... ... we are are dealing with an oracle. Sometimes an answer can be found by distancing oneself from the initial objective and trying to understand what the cards are talking about irrespective of the topic we're focused on.

I follow Lise Abbadie since quite some time and now the date for her Kickstarter campaign is set: 1 October. Le Tarot de la Grande Ourse.
