I went for a reading over the weekend and the gal reading for me considered the little lizard creature on the King of Wands to be a chameleon. I found that very interesting, as at some point I just locked in that it is a salamander and left it at that. It's amazing the varied ways symbols can be interpreted depending on circumstances. Chameleon was very applicable in this case. I also feel that listening to readings can help give beginning taroters confidence by taking away some of the mystique surrounding the whole process. As more or less a newbie, I can put quite a lot of pressure on myself to pick up heaps of info intuitively/psychically. If I'm not feeling particularly clear, I have a tendency to turn down doing readings, which is a huge shame considering how much I dig tarot and love helping people gain insight into their circumstances. As was shown in the session with Leisa and her friend, often times the querant has their own answers. This was a reminder to me that there are innumerable directions in which a reading can go if we're flexible and open to the process and further that there is not set way in which any one person needs read time and time again. This must be a message I am needing to get because during the reading I had this weekend the woman's style was really free form and she basically ended up having me interpret for myself by the end of it. Although I was left wondering why I paid $50 to read for myself, in retrospect that was exactly what I needed to know---to trust myself. I also really enjoyed listening to Bonnie's passionate segment on Right Speech. Although I personally reckon everyone should develop their own code of ethics (vs. following doctrine), her segment conveyed a lot of great information, as usual.

I loved that you taught your client how to enter the card, an shared that with our listening audience. There is a great deal of great information in this segment. Ginny, as always, presents irrevernt thoughts in a most thought provoking manner. Bill presents some interesting views - ones that I had to think about. I am one of those who see no need for a break from the Tarot, yet do not consider myself overly dependent on it, or misusing it in any maner. It is my constant companion. Yet I do have friends who have literally taken sometimes very long sabatacles from the Tarot. May we each recognize our own unique Tarot path. :) Blessings, Bonnie Leisa:
