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 ...

Notes on what is possible and appropriate when consulting a psychic. People coming for their first psychic reading may not have any idea what to expect.  The scenarios provided by movies and television are very far removed from the reality of a consultation with an experienced psychic.  At my studio the emphasis is on your well being. When you are coming for a reading this is your time to get your needs met. My goal is to provide honest, accurate answers to your questions to the best of my ability. I will give you my full attention and help you feel at ease by answering any questions you have about the reading process.  A good psychic reading should provide you clarity, insight and direction. You  may also feel validated, affirmed and empowered. You may find the energy of the reading process is very comfortable . With each clear answer you might be both exhilarated and relaxed.  I have published a list of frequently asked questions for y...

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 or...
