View Full Version : Tarot readings offered

Hello. :)

I am offering readings to anyone willing to be part of an experiment I'm conducting.

I've recently started using a Tarot software program called Orphalese Tarot. See my post about it here:

http://www.mysticwicks.com/showthread.php?t=139456

It works pretty much like a traditional Tarot reading except that the program shuffles and deals the cards on my laptop screen. The reading part and interpretation of the cards is still up to me. :)

I've mainly been using it to read for myself so far and it's been working pretty well, surpisingly so. I would like a chance to test its accuracy when reading for other people, especially over the Net. If you're willing to be my guinea pig, please post here or PM me if you like.

Like I said, it's basically the same as reading with actual physical cards. So all I'll need is your question and, if you're comfortable with sharing that info, your real name and age.

A little about me: My name is Mary and I've been reading Tarot since I was about 10 years old. My reading style is very intuitive. This method of reading is very new to me, though. I would apreciate some feedback on the readings, especially if you think I'm way off. :lol:

Anyway, that's it. Hope to hear from many of you soon. :)

Okay, guys, I have a few readings ready and waiting to be typed out and sent to you. This is the beauty of this software, you can actually save every single reading on it including a screen shot of the cards dealt. :)

I was way too tired last night to start typing them but I will get to that this afternoon after work.

Just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten about you, especially you Brightshores, sorry about the delay.

Okay, I have to finish the first batch of requests. I'll PM you when I'm able to do your reading. If I don't PM you by Friday please PM me because I get a little forgetful sometimes. :)

I'll put you on the list for next week. :)

Could you PM your question and maybe also your name if you're comfortable sharing that? Or post here, whatever you prefer.

Thanx. :)

I'm a little sick with the flu right now, so I won't be doing any readings until at least Monday.

I'm also not taking any more requests at this time as I have received many via PM so next week is fully booked.

I'll be open for more requests next week-end, but you can already post them here if you want. I'll get to each of them in turn.

Hello. :)

I am offering readings to anyone willing to be part of an experiment I'm conducting.

Anyway, that's it. Hope to hear from many of you soon. :)

Okay, here's an update on the experiment I've been conducting. :)

I've been using the software for the last two months to read for people both online and IRL. Thank you to all those who have kindly given me feedback here on MW.

I must say I am extremely surprised with how well this has gone. I was sure that I would see a clear difference in my readings using this software instead of the actual cards. It turns out, there is no difference at all. My readings have the same level of accuracy whether I use the Orpahlese software or "real" cards. My intuition kicked in in the same manner and the vast majority of my querents were very pleased with the readings.

It's quite amazing to me, as I always thought that my ability to read Tarot was strongly linked to the very tactile acts of holding the deck, shuffling and dealing the cards, feeling the unique energy associated with each different deck.

The success of the experiment may be due to the fact that I was able to upload my three favorite decks into the software: the Thoth deck, the Revelations Tarot and the Tarot of Dreams. It made me realize that it's not so much the act of holding the cards that is essential in my readings, but more the imagery on the cards of my most beloved decks.

Interestingly enough, I was also just as incapable of reading with the Rider-Waite deck on the software as I am IRL. This deck just doesn't speak to me at all and never has. :lol:


So, it looks like I'm going to keep using this program for my readings as an alternative to "real" Tarot cards. I keep putting "real" in quotes because to me the cards on the screen feel just as real to me as the ones I can actually touch. There's is the added bonus of not having to ever cleanse the virtual cards in the program, seeing as I never get to touch them and therefore can't pass on my own energy, positive or negative, to them. In that reagrd, I can trust that the virtual decks always keep a neutral vibe to them.

So there you, have it. :)

I will continue to take readings from you all. Please post your requests in this thread or PM me with your details. And thanks again to all those who were kind enough to be my guinea pigs the frist time around. :)
