Notes from the January Tarot Class


The Tarot Salon/Workshop met as we always do, the second Sunday of the month in the lovely studio in the back of the Midnight Sun. This month students were able to ask many questions about the ethic of reading, how best to read, how to direct seekers to ask useful questions, the purpose & power of question driven readings as well as other topics that were of particular interest to those attending.

One of the most interesting discussion was about revealing the full, truthful answer in a reading. One reader present was very interested in when & how to reveal what might be disturbing or unfortunate news. A lively discussion ensued, and the consensus was that a Tarot reader must share all that is revealed in the reading. Editing information to protect the seeker would be an intrusion of the ego of the reader, and therefore, an interruption of the pure flow of wisdom that occurs in the process.

This conversation moved again to the topic of asking useful questions. It was decided that encouraging the seeker to ask questions could give the reader confidence that on a psycho-spiritual level, the seeker would be emotionally prepared for the answer, what ever it may be. As well, that during the reading process, the Tarot can serve as a filter, or a second witness, helping to ensure that the limits are imposed by the seeker on the depth of answer to be revealed.

While this idea may seem unusual to some, those who have read often know that the Tarot is a perfect book of mirrors, able to reflect back to the seeker the information needed to make an informed, or empowered decision. The Tarot is also useful to help determine time frames, important personalities at work in the life of the seeker, as pertains to the question, as well as the probable outcome of a situation given that the seeker continue to follow the path they are on at the time of the reading.

The desire to please, to be comforting, to be right... all these desires must be abandoned by the reader to ensure that only the information the seeker needs, and has paid for, is revealed.  Please note that this post is just a recap to highlight some of the most interesting topics discussed, there are far more aspects to each of the topics mentioned than can be discussed in this post.

We hope to see you at the next Tarot Workshop which will be Sunday, February 14th at 1:00 PM.

Buyer Beware! Not All Consultants Can See The Future.

I realized I have been living in my own little bubble of assumption and have fallen out of touch with how best to present myself to new clients. I am writing this post to help you feel comfortable that you do understand my abilities as well as my limitations.  Who Am I?  My name is Ann George and I am the owner of Ann George Studios, Inc. I have been open as a Psychic, Tarot Studio and Reiki Healing Practice since 1996. I am both a psychic person as well as a professional Tarot Consultant. Sometimes I use the word clairvoyant to describe myself. Other adjectives I prefer are mystic, seer, empath, as well as clairsentient. I have always seen spirits, energies, etheric or ghostly beings, as well as the future. When I was much younger I could hear people thinking. This was not a cultivated quality, I was born this way. When I was in my late thirties, I realized that the “gift” was not going away, instead it was becoming stronger.  To manage the return of “seeing” I mad

Insight • Psychic Clarity for Everyday Concerns

Image
Life may often feel overwhelming. We may have those days when everything seems to be going wrong all at once! We may not trust our intuition. We may feel as if we can’t get a hold on the best way to move forward at any point in time.  Sometimes we are faced with many important, life changing decisions and sometimes those choices are inter-related. One choice will impact all the other choices on our horizon in such a way that we may feel paralyzed, unable to risk any choice at all.  This is one of the times when a psychic reading can be most helpful. We are able to get a glimpse of the outcome of our decisions, we can “try them on” before we fully commit to see if a particular choice will move us forward, toward our desired goal - or not. Clairvoyant Tarot readings are a very powerful tool to help us access our Divine Mind, also referred to by some as our High Self. The Tarot is a unique oracle in that it empowers not only the Seer, but also the Seeker.   The Tarot i

Soul Mate or Past Life Return? Notes on Energy & Relationship by Ann George

Image
In Western culture we are not often presented with world views that include reincarnation as a matter of fact. This can put us at a real disadvantage when we meet someone we have know from a previous life time.  The impact of meeting a past life return can be so overwhelming that we fall to the conclusion that this must be love at first sight. The symptoms of this return are often very similar to the feelings we have when we meet someone who seems just right for a love connection.  Often when we have a past life reunion we may feel our hearts are pounding as we stare in a breathless state of joy, amazement, or desire. We may need to speak to that person right away and find ourselves giddy with delight when they smile and seem to immediately return our interest.  We often feel as if we have know that person all our lives, that they are very easy to talk to, and of course to gaze upon. We may want to get to know them with a fierceness that is out of the ordinary.  S
