Petalene Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 I'm off of work next week and I'm thinking about getting a reading from a professional reader, which I've never done before. I've been having issues with being angry and I'd love to get some insight into what's going on and what I can do about it. First off, if anyone can recommend someone in the San Francisco Bay Area - preferably the north bay - let me know. I'd also be down with doing a day trip to San Francisco. Any ideas on how to find someone and what the cost might be? I've been looking online and, despite typing in tarot, I keep getting astrology which isn't my thing. I imagine there's cross over, but if I'm going to do this, I specifically want a tarot reading. Google and Yelp are also resulting in many unflattering picutres of the readers and I'm not sure I can push past the idea of actually booking an appointment with someone who won't find a flattering picture to promote their business. Am I being unreasonable about the picture thing? I have the same issue with authors on Amazon who put up crap pictures for their author bio. Thanks for any suggestions or recomendation for how to go about this.
Petalene Posted October 27, 2017 Author Posted October 27, 2017 I should have said - cost isn't a major consideration, but I don't know what's reasonable. I'd rather pay $100 and get an amazing reading than pay $50 and get an okay one.
sandrang123 Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 I have a fantastic reader that I've gone to for 15+ years and have recommended wholeheartedly to many friends. She also can work remotely, in that you pay a flat fee and she calls you and records your session. But: she works with guides.
katrinka Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 You're not limited by geography. A lot of us read via telephone, skype, email, etc.
Disa Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Look up metaphysical shops or bookstores in the area. They usually have several readers there each day.
Trogon Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 So, have you found a Tarot reader locally to try? I'm sure many of us would like to hear about your experience ... well, I would anyway. ;D
Ace Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 I agree on the picture thing. I post myself on an on-line directory site and I see it there too. I can't imagine these people getting good gigs when they don't PRESENT themselves well. As for finding a good reader, ask friends if and who they go to. That is the best way to find a good--reliable--reader. And Don't try to be cheap, the best are expensive and for a reason. barb
Petalene Posted November 3, 2017 Author Posted November 3, 2017 When I was poking around online, I came across a website called thumbtack and filled out their questionare to get an idea of price. I got an email (through their system) from a lady in my area. I went to her website and read some reviews and decided to go for it. She also had a nice, friendly picture. She put me completely at ease which was great because I was a little nervous. Before wee started, she offered to record the session and email it to me after. She also said I could take pictures of the spread at the end. I noticed how her cards were looking a little worn around the edges and I liked that they had seen so much action and provided so much advice. I thought it was fascinating that she used a combination of tarot decks and oracle cards, That completely exploded the posibilities for the reading. I managed to pull both The Tower and Death, so I know the situation is coming to a head and major change is on it's way. But I feel better prepared to handle it when it happens. And I got the ace of pentacles for the likely outcome, so things will get better. I've done a reading since for myself with more than one deck and it was amazing. I couldn't find many multi-deck spreads online, so I'll need to play around with it and come up with some of my own. All in all, it was time and money well spent - $100 per hour, it anyone is curious. And I'm really glad I had the experience of doing it in person. It's not the kind of thing I can afford to splurge on all the time, but I'd go back to her if I need the kind of insight I can't glean for myself.
EmpyreanKnight Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 I've never had a paid pro reading done so I was curious about this. I'm glad it turned out well for you, Petalene.
Trogon Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 Sounds like a very positive experience! Also a helpful reading from the sounds of it. Thank you for sharing!
