Psychic Energy Protection
Psychic protections deals with matters in a none aggressive ways, concentrating on inner peace and balance also positive attitude. If we live our lives responding to negative influences or negative energies that is around each and every one of us, this may actually feed the very negative energy we are trying to repel, it might even manifest itself within us. On the other hand relaxation, meditation, being spiritual and content will makes us feel safe from these energies.
A real psychic protection may offer some physical protection as well, since much is conveyed by body language. In the animal kingdom attack is often played out by a ritual of actions rather than inflicting harm to the opponent, the defeated animal can walk away unharmed once it has indicated defeat, thus preserving the natural cycle. While the winner holds the trophy through its simple attitude. Although this would not work for us humans if we were confronted by violence in a quite dark street, nevertheless attitude is extremely important form of self defense
To have psychic protection can mean, expanding our understanding and being honest to ourselves, creating the pleasant atmosphere in our homes, eliminating lingering negative energies in our homes, effects of our own personality on ourselves, intentions of our minds and heart, trusting our intuitions, taking care of our physical bodies will give us basic protection.
Self knowledge and honesty
When we take steps to protect ourselves what is important to know is where the threat originates from, it may be coming from you, without self knowledge and self honesty, solving life’s challenges and striving forward can be cumbersome, for instance, a man can waste years working on issues arising from his relationship with his father, that he had experienced in his childhood years, thinking that his current relationship challenges are evolving from his relationship with his father from earlier time in his life, and believing that, it is his fault but in reality he might be with a partner who is not suitable for his personality, thinking that you deserve unhappiness is not the way to protect yourself, being self understanding is well, but no human deserves unhappiness. Our thoughts and intentions are very important, as the majority human beings know of the Persian belief of the evil eye, Persians believe that by just looking at someone with bad intentions and ill wishing it can actually harm someone, although this belief is for our own intelligence, we sometimes are out and about and see someone who is staring at us, and we sense the person who is staring has bad intentions. By just looking we can sense the thoughts of others. What’s important is not to allow that feeling to come with us, it is only in the mind of the person who just stared at us and should not dictate how we feel about ourselves.
Our homes, our castles
We spend most of our quality time in our homes feeling safe, warm and comfortable, we lay each night under the magically decorated stars and fall asleep on our beds, we take shelter from the elements of life, yet we as humans have times that is not so pleasant in our own homes, this is the negative energies we must protect ourselves from, in our homes unconscious forces can take root, we must arrange our belonging so as we move around our homes there is plenty space to do so, being clean and tidy is also helpful, as our Chinese friends regard the layout of a home very important to the flow of life’s energy. We can simply open our homes to the life outside by once a week opening all our doors and windows and letting the air, which is the controlling force of life in. We can have small plants that is pleasant to look at as well, also having well mannered pets will be useful to positively energies our dwelling.
Emotional Vampires
Some people may act like emotional bats, We all know the characters of such a person, who just always wine and winch about them selves and their problems, people who are draining may be very kind also pleasant, but if we are in their presence for a while we tend to feel empty after our conversations with them, this may result from their unconscious intentions or trying to undermine you with sinister thoughts, we need to politely walk away from such beings until we feel totally protected
All the cultures from around the world believe in need of psychic protection, thus everywhere we look we will see people wearing or carrying protectors, lucky charms, crystals, Christian crosses, pendants, the blue eye, horse shoe for luck, the lucky elephant, moonstones, st Christopher medallion are just a few examples of the sort of psychic protection we can have to improve our presence, once again believing and our attitude plays a major role for our wellbeing

Psychic Readings - Astrology and Kumalak Readings
Psychic clairvoyants often use a variety of tools to aid in their readings. Some are commonly known while others are quite different. Personal preference plays a large role in the choice of divinatory aid used, as most are fairly useful. Some of the most common divinatory aids include Kumalak beads, in eastern parts of the World also astrological charts through out the World. And we can agree that most common newspapers have your star sign sections. Even skeptics of such information will read them every now and then.
Astrology charts
Astrological charts come in many forms. The most known and revealing chart is the natal or birth chart. This chart defines an individual by characterizing the exact time and location of the planets in relationship with each other and the sun at the time of inquirers birth. Birth chart lays the foundation for an individual’s character and destination in life.
Kumalak readings
Are done with forty one beads, before the beads are sorted there must be incantations also twelve phrases which must be uttered. Just before a divination practitioner sorts Kumalak beads he or she asks a question of it. Kumalak is a divination system that has its origins to Himalayas, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, and it is one of the earliest divination method on earth, with amazing accuracy, at the right hands Kumalak readings are very powerful to reflect, Kumalak opens up a miniature and mysterious World, full of variations about past, present and future.
While, this is just a basic analysis of some of the most frequently used divinatory methods it should understood that each one is quite unique in their own right. In addition various occult historians have formed associations among the different types of divinatory methods and the influences of one method form another. Some go as far as to say that these relationships are more than accidental rather hold a more significantly important meaning. If a person is interested there are many resources online about many different divination methods such as tarot card readings, Kumalak readings, astrology, coffee cup readings, and their history also origins. And learning about them is as easy as searching the internet.
As you can agree astrology and Kumalak readings are captivating phenomenon and it is worth learning more about it.
We also need to understand that, psychic readings and divination readings are two completely different subjects altogether, while each can be very useful on their own right, but when combined together it is much more detailed and accurate in their revealing. Psychic readings do not require a tools as such (be it tarot, I chin, or Kumalak) and it is done very differently, it is although psychic reader is a channel between spirit world and our normal realm of senses. Once a psychic, clairvoyant does a reading regarding a subject, afterward he or she can consult such divination tools of choice, to get more insights to the question at hand.
Throughout our known history this knowledge of psychics and their divination methods has survived its critics, and many people from all parts of life believe in such phenomenon, while if we were to disagree with such things as sheer nonsense, then this would be to disregard all races around the world as fantasists.
You might be familiar with such services online, or you might be interested to learn more about it, either way one must be through in their search of such diviners, be it psychic or divination practitioner, always follow your reason and intuition when seeking such service.

Is Tarot Card Reading by Telephone as Goos as Face to Face?
ry of the Tarot is something that is obscured by time. There are some references and researchers that connect the origin of the Tarot with that of Ancient Egypt, while other historians and scholars suggest that the Tarot shares roots with ancient gypsy cultures. Still, there are other researchers that attach an Italian origin to the Tarot cards, and it is believed that the Tarot Cards became a tool of divination right around the 1400s. Since that time, hundreds of different decks have evolved and are currently in use; one of the most popular decks being the Rider-Waite deck.
A typical tarot deck contains 78 cards consisting of the four suits seen in regular card games, which are hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs. The Latin version of the tarot deck has a different set of suits. They are swords, batons, cups, and coins. Like a regular deck, tarot cards are numbered from one to ten plus the four court cards; jack, queen, king, and ace.
The difference between a tarot deck and the regular deck is the twenty-one divinity cards known as Major Arcana. A joker equivalent in the tarot deck is called the Fool, or the excuse. The Fool can take all four suits and acts as the strongest trump card.
Tarot card interpretations are always changing - and they have also differed significantly through time. Today, however, there are common and general card meanings. For example, minor arcana cards usually have an astrological meaning that changes along with the seasons of the year. On another side of things, court cards talk of people and their nature. This nature concerns the physio-emotional traits of a person.
More specifically, the determinants of a card’s meaning are the following: Card Number, Key Number, Rulership (Astrology), Hebrew Letter, Translation, and Numerical Value. The meaning is also determined by the position of the card, whether it is upright or Ill-Dignified/Reversed. The difference between peoples’ readings is the weights they impose on the different ’statistics’ and ‘attributes’ of the card.
When card readings are conducted face-to-face, the card reader will sometimes ask the querent to shuffle the cards as they concentrate on the question. The querent will sometimes be asked to split the deck into three piles, and then to put the deck back together again. The card reader then lays out the cards in a specific pattern, and each card has a different meaning, depending upon the layout used. For example, the card reader may layout three cards, one to signify the past, one for the present and one for the future: all three cards together give a full interpretation of a given situation.
Card readings over the telephone are conducted much the same way that card readings face to face are conducted. A querent (caller) will call into a reader, and the reader will ask the caller to concentrate on a question that he or she wants answered or clarified. The card reader then shuffles the cards and lays them out in a particular pattern. Popular patterns include a single card reading, a three card reading, and a Celtic Cross reading, which is a reading of 10 different cards. The card reader will examine the symbolism in each card, in addition to the card position to conclude what the cards convey.
Tarot card divination may not be a real science; it may not be as accurate as some people would like to believe, but the market for tarot is ever growing through the availability of readings online and in other similar mediums. While this is so, there is still a large demand for face-to-face tarot reading because of the mystique and interactivity. A fair judgment of the industry is that it is growing in its different aspects - whether it is face to face, on the phone, or by some other medium. While society drives itself into a more scientific future, the appeal of astrology, especially in tarot cards, is still growing fast.

A Fascinating History of Tarot and Tarot Reading
Mailcucan asked:
Most of what I’m going to lecture from come from Cynthia Giles’ book: The Tarot, History, Mystery and Lore and some other resources.
The origins of the Tarot have been attributed a wide range of wacky sources paleolithic cave paintings, gypsy folk lore, Moroccan mystics and even gifts from space aliens to Egyptian priests!. Most of these stories are, of course, speculation of the wildest, most ridiculous kind, and only serve to muddy the waters when it comes to understanding the Tarot. If you’re going to use the cards, it’s important to understand where they come from so that you know their rich history, their potential and their value and not put faith in silly urban legends.
Tarot on parade
The first mention of the cards was in Italy in the 14th century, called “Tarocco” and used for games and already, authorities were lecturing against its use. The first known deck was made for the Vicsconzi-Sforza family of Milan, designed by the artist Bembo. According to Tarot expert Gertrude Moakley, the various characters illustrated in the major arcana represented the triomfi, or parade, that accompanied Italian celebrations.
Historians believe that there may have been other cards that existed to represent other characters but have disappeared over time. Few decks of Tarot cards exist for those early days, but there’s enough similarity in artwork to make it clear that the deck was in common use in that time. Some historians believe that the Tarot was originally only used as a gaming deck to play a game called tarocchi until occultists began using them for divination.
Taking Europe by storm
The next big milestone in Tarot’s history came in the late 1700’s when Court de Gebelen, a member of a secret society of occultists, came across the a game of tarocchi and became obsessed with the cards. He believed them to be imbued with important symbolism which he attributed to ancient Egyptian lore. De Geblen wrote a nine-volume treatise titled “Le Monde Primitif” in which he discussed the meanings of the Tarot. That he attributed the Tarot’s symbolism to the Egyptian’s was based less on any real fact than on the fascination that Europeans had with Egypt at that time, believing it to be the center of all of man’s early wisdom. Use of the cards for divination spread during that time, with a book by a man named Etteilla in 1783, in which he offered his interpretations of the cards. In fact, professional mystics began using the Tarot throughout Europe, although there was no consensus of what the cards actually meant.
The mystical background of the Tarot
Card readings have long been associated with Gypsies, although they certainly weren’t responsible for their creation. For hundreds of years, Gypsies made their way across the world, living by their wits and earning a living by any skills that they could market. Gypsies were exotic, feared and looked down on, but there was an aura of romance about them that caught the imagination of Europeans in the 1800’s. A book was published towards the end of the century called “The Tarot of the Bohemians,” attributing the Tarot to the Gypsies (who Europeans commonly believed came from Egypt). Interestingly, Gypsies used regular playing cards for divination not the Tarot.
In the 19th century, the famed mystic Eliphas Levi Zahed (whose real name was Alphonse Louis Constant) connected the Taror with Hebrew mysticism the Kabbalah. He saw the Tarot as a key to life, a tool that man can use to develop himself as a human being, as a way to grow so that he might find heaven. His work outlined 22 connections to the tarot major arcana, making it a tool to be used on the path to enlightenment.
The modern Tarot deck was most influenced by the cards used in the late 1800’s by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The order was founded in England by three men who, according to lore, found an old secret manuscript written in code, deciphered it as the by-laws of a secret German society, and received permission to start their own group in England. Years later, the woman who gave them permission died, and the German members disavowed the British branch, saying they never got permission after all.
The modern Tarot is born
Despite its contentious beginnings, the Golden Dawn became a very influential group, with two members in particular doing a great deal to spread the popularity of occultism Aleister Crowley and Arthur Edward Waite. Crowley, a protégé of the Golden Dawn founders in England, created a Tarot called the Book of Thoth. Waite created the Tarot deck that’s most familiar to modern users. Working with an American artist named Pamela Coleman Smith, Waite used a storytelling theme, utilizing characters from myth, legend and religion, allocating a group of symbols to each card that gives them unique meaning. His Tarot formed the foundation on which most decks that followed were based.
The next milestone in the Tarot’s history came in the 1920’s, when a Golden Dawn member named Paul Foster Case started a group in Los Angeles called Builders of the Adytum (BOTA). The BOTA deck is in black and white, created so that the owner could color the drawings themselves (it was a tradition in the Golden Dawn that each member had to make their own deck as part of their training). The group offers Tarot training to this day, although their interpretations of the cards are disputed by many divination experts.
Today, there are countless versions of the Crowley/Waite Tarot available, some with magnificent artwork, others less impressive. Whatever your choice of deck, using the Tarot as a divination tool is a personal experience, one that’s origins reach far back in history. Hopefully, knowing the background of this ancient art will enhance your connection to the cards, and to your own readings.

Tarot Readings - Outlooks, Opportunities and Modifications
doris trebescyh asked:
Tarot cards consist of twenty-one cards for every single suit. Many bits of Europe implement the set to pastime, but this is sporadicin English chatting areas where the set is routinely employed for divination.
Tarot cards ascertain their past around in the 1300’s. Guesswork specifies that they were founded in Islamic areas, but the initially actualnews of them is the first time they were blocked in the primarily Christian terrain of Bern, Switzerland. Initial tarot decks, however, featured just 16 trump cards, as compared to the twenty-one that are featured in unpretentious types.
Tarot cards are separated into one major arcana and five suits, namely: The Major Arcana, The Suit of Wands, The Suit of Coins, The Suit of Cups, and the Suit of Swords.
The suits are separated as well. Their points’ worth and specific meanings are determined by being one of Oudlers/Trulls, Kings, Queens, Cavaliers, Jacks, or Others. Oudlers and Kings have the same value; the others from Queens to Jacks are worth one point less than their predecessors.
Despite this, the English-speaking world pays more attention to the divinatory meanings of the cards, which will be tackled in the next area.
Reading a tarot card is easy, as each trump card has a distinct meaning. However, careful interpretation is needed if one wants to read the meaning from the collection of cards. These cards have astrological connections with readings placed under the context of the Octavian Calendar. Tarot cards are believed to readily describe the physical and emotional characteristics of the subject.
The rich and age-old tradition of tarot reading is constantly evolving through time. The methods of interpreting tarot cards continue to change to catch up with the culture it is living in. The change in meaning can also contribute to the evolution of the card itself. The elements of a tarot card today are far different from what it was before.
Many tarot readings are done face to face. You can find someone who reads tarot cards in your local area by searching online, checking local listings or asking at an occult bookshop. You should come prepared with a question or query much of the time, and may find that while you can gain some useful insights from a reading, it is more a perceptive tool than a truly esoteric one. Each tarot reader has their own preferences with regard to how they lay out cards and read them; however, you can reasonable expect that a more complex and time consuming reading will be more costly.
Card readings over the telephone are conducted much the same way that card readings face to face are conducted. A querent (caller) will call into a reader, and the reader will ask the caller to concentrate on a question that he or she wants answered or clarified. The card reader then shuffles the cards and lays them out in a particular pattern. Popular patterns include a single card reading, a three card reading, and a Celtic Cross reading, which is a reading of 10 different cards. The card reader will examine the symbolism in each card, in addition to the card position to conclude what the cards convey.
Tarot cards have a long history, both as a simple card game and as a tool for divination. The modern usage of these cards is purely esoteric. If you are interested, you should keep in mind that tarot cards are only as helpful as the reader is perceptive, and that while you may leave with some clarifications of your own thoughts, more than that is unlikely.

Tarot cards consist of twenty-one cards for every single suit. Many bits of Europe implement the set to pastime, but this is sporadicin English chatting areas where the set is routinely employed for divination.
Tarot cards ascertain their past around in the 1300’s. Guesswork specifies that they were founded in Islamic areas, but the initially actualnews of them is the first time they were blocked in the primarily Christian terrain of Bern, Switzerland. Initial tarot decks, however, featured just 16 trump cards, as compared to the twenty-one that are featured in unpretentious types.
Tarot cards are separated into one major arcana and five suits, namely: The Major Arcana, The Suit of Wands, The Suit of Coins, The Suit of Cups, and the Suit of Swords.
The suits are separated as well. Their points’ worth and specific meanings are determined by being one of Oudlers/Trulls, Kings, Queens, Cavaliers, Jacks, or Others. Oudlers and Kings have the same value; the others from Queens to Jacks are worth one point less than their predecessors.
Despite this, the English-speaking world pays more attention to the divinatory meanings of the cards, which will be tackled in the next area.
Reading a tarot card is easy, as each trump card has a distinct meaning. However, careful interpretation is needed if one wants to read the meaning from the collection of cards. These cards have astrological connections with readings placed under the context of the Octavian Calendar. Tarot cards are believed to readily describe the physical and emotional characteristics of the subject.
The rich and age-old tradition of tarot reading is constantly evolving through time. The methods of interpreting tarot cards continue to change to catch up with the culture it is living in. The change in meaning can also contribute to the evolution of the card itself. The elements of a tarot card today are far different from what it was before.

Most people have unrealistic expectations when it comes to psychic reading and this is probably because they’re desperate for answers in a difficult situation. However, it’s good to remember that psychics are also human and make mistakes just like the rest of us. So try not to ask to much of the person doing the reading for you.
There’s no doubt that advertising on the television and in newspapers is probably responsible for the level of expectation we have when it comes to psychic reading. There are times, when most of us would benefit from seeing a good psychic, especially when we are feeling confused and lost. A list on what a genuine psychic reader can and can’t do:
1) A psychic cant pick the winning lottery numbers, if they could psychics will be the only ones winning the lottery.
2) A genuine psychic will not promise to cast a spell to bring back your loved one, anyone who says they can is only after your money. All souls on this planet have free will, so no amount of spells will make them come back to you if they don’t want to.
3) If a person is afraid to move forward, no amount of prayer and healing will help him. These people have to let go of the past and fear in order to move forward into a healthy future.
4) There are psychics and healers who can bring about healing by channeling divine energy.
5) A professional psychic reader will not tell you stupid things like what time did you get up this morning, or what did you eat for breakfast.

Tarot Card Reading Instructions: Is Tarot Reading Accurate and Dependable?
Millions of people seek tarot readings to help them in their daily lives. They ask about how to deal with their relationships and how to find success in their endeavours. Throughout history people have turned to divination methods and communication with spiritual energies to help them and because tarot reading has been used for centuries now, it is often a trusted modern tool as well.
There are several aspects of tarot card reading that make up its effectiveness. If all the conditions are met properly, the outcome of a tarot reading can be extremely good.
1) My deck or yours?
The first important component you will want to consider about this is who will read your tarot cards. Will you do your own reading or will you go to a tarot reader? Both of these methods can be effective.
If you are attempting your own tarot reading you will want to do some research before you get started, and there are a lot of things you will need to decide.
The first decision will be what kind of deck to use, so you will have to read up on it and determine if there is one that suits you best.
If you are drawn to a certain type of deck that may be the first indication that it is the one you should use.
After you decide which deck you are reading from, you will need to learn about the types of readings and how often you should consult the tarot. Especially if you are just learning all of this, you may consult the tarot too often and get confused by all the seemingly unconnected advice it gives.
When you see an experienced tarot reader you may get more from your reading. Seek someone with knowledge and a good reputation. I suggest that you ask friends and relatives to recommend a good tarot reader if you know they have sought this kind of advice in the past.
If you would prefer to keep this to yourself, I suggest you visit the readers you are interested in and ask them a few questions about readings in order to get a good idea if they are someone you feel can help you.
2) The Question
Okay, so now you have found the reader (or gotten yourself in a position to read your own). The next step is forming a question to be asked. You should put a lot of consideration into this matter. You will want to ask something that will give you insight.
Do not ask questions that the tarot cannot answer such as ‘who will I marry’ or ‘how long will I live.
The tarot is not meant for such questions. It is meant to provide guidance about relationships and endeavours, so ask how best to accomplish what you want rather than IF you will accomplish it.
3) The Mood
The next component of a successful reading is your mind set. On the day of your reading, do some meditation or relaxation exercises to clear your head and put you into a calm state. You should not be agitated and out of sorts when you have your reading done.
When you handling the cards (shuffling or selecting the ones for the reading) you should calm yourself by closing your eyes and taking a couple of deep cleansing breaths. I suggest that you then pick up the deck and hold it and even shuffle the cards while being mindful of your question.
This is the time that you make the connection with the cards, so try to be as serene and centered as you can. I feel it is extremely important to have time with the cards in order for your energy to connect with the spirituality they hold. If you rush this step, your reading could be drastically affected.
4) The Attitude
Have an open spirit as you determine the messages in the cards and how they relate to your own life. You may need to think about some of it for a few days before you can really get it.
The tarot is indeed a powerful tool for you to use for guidance. You must always remember however that its effectiveness is determined by several components.
For the most successful and trustworthy readings you will need to do everything you can to make sure that the cards, the reader, your spirit and the atmosphere are at their best for your reading. As with anything else, if you use quality ingredients you will get a quality end product!

How Do I Interpret Tarot Cards?
Karmen Bella asked:
How do I interpret tarot cards? is a question asked by many people. With the right tools and the right knowledge, it can be quite simple. For years people would seek out tarot card readers for guidance and assurance. People want to know where their life is headed, and they simply want to understand what the conflicts, trials and new beginnings mean. What many do not know is that they themselves can interpret their own tarot cards effectively.
There are a couple of ways to understand how to interpret tarot cards. First you can read the instruction manual or booklet that came with your cards, and good luck on that! Most often those simple run of the mill books are just as hard to understand as your own life!
The best solution is to use a guide that has been specially designed to explain the fundamentals of reading your own cards. The eBook on, “How Do I Interpret Tarot Cards” is exactly what you need to learn how to read your cards, and that is what they are…your cards.
An experienced tarot reader has gained the knowledge and the craft of defining tarot cards for you, but think how wonderful it would be if you could learn to define you, yourself. There are several good eBooks that will teach you all you need to know about reading and interpreting tarot cards.
An important thing to remember when reading cards is to get to know your cards. Be sure to examine your cards carefully when they are presented to you. Many times a person will read their cards themselves but not totally understand them; becoming knowledgeable in this craft will then read and make perfect sense of what it all means.
Look over all of the cards chosen for your reading at the time of the reading, and think of every single card as a chapter in a book, the book being your life. See if there is any order or meaning of any one particular suit presented to you. You may experience thoughts or feelings while examining the cards; this is normal and once you have learned the meaning of your cards, these feelings will become more and more welcomed by you.
A tarot reading is not going to tell you something that you do not already know yourself, even deep down. It is meant to be resourceful and helpful. Having the gift, and it is a gift, of interpreting the tarot cards is a huge responsibility. Never joke around by pretending to be able to read cards, you not only fool yourself, you are hurting someone else in the process. Learn how to read them yourself. If you read tarot cards for other people, your actions can influence their lives tremendously forever. The best guidance you could get is that of the eBook that explains, How Do I Interpret Tarot Cards?
