Online Tarot Readings and Fortune Telling

An ancient tarot card, as published in The Cartomancer's Key.When one refers to the practice of fortune telling, it usually is meant to indicate the art of predicting the future or analyzing personality and character traits by way of reading, through any number of ways which may include psychic readings, tarot cards, pendulums or runes among them, which employ the ancient belief that there is no such thing as 'chance' but that, rather, all actions are dictated by superior, outside forces and the belief that all the universe has to it an underlying pattern, such that all past and present events, regardless how coincidental or irrelevant they may seem, are in fact clues to determining fortunes through unfolding tendencies.Employing the belief that if there is no such thing as random chance, that indeed all results must be caused by outside powers, the practice of sortilege, or cleromancy, came into play. Many popular forms of fortune telling to this day are based on sortilege -- tarot reading, I Ching casting, or even the simple flipping of a coin are part of this practice. The distinctive property of sortilege is that it employs tools -- such as a deck of tarot cards-- adorned with markings, leaving a finite and predetermined number of possibilities their laying or throwing might portend. The ancient Romans sometimes wrote verses of famous poets on tablets which they used to forecast upcoming events, and this evolved into the practice of bibliomancy in which flipping to random pages of a book, such as the Bible, is used to predict coming tendencies.The age of technology has in some ways actually increased the popularity of many fortune telling methods. Free psychics and costless tarot readings online are easily available. Many in need of guidance turn to these types of tarot readings online. But is it even worth the effort? The short version is NO! Here's why:    * Most free tarot readings online are computer generated – that is, a computer program randomly chooses which images to display on your screen. Usually, a neutral interpretation of the card that can be applied to any situation accompanies the display. To a skeptic this might appear just as good as real tarot readings, but to those that actually believe in the abilities of tarot to give love forecasts, success readings, financial predictions and so on, this won't do at all. The powers of gravity, the skill of a human reader is required to give a true and accurate reading using tarot cards, even when giving tarot readings online.    * Some free online tarot readings are what are known as "canned readings." In these cases, a single reading is created that can apply to most situations, and this same reading is delivered to every client who orders a free tarot reading online. No genuine tarot readings should be done this way -- in fact it's not a tarot reading at all, just a parroting back of a prepared message. Even when they are tarot readings online, they must involve authentic tarot card readings.    * There's a famous con, dubbed "The Gypsy Fortune Telling Scam." In this, a fortune teller (often offering free or low cost tarot readings online) informs the client that their problems are due to some kind of magical interference or curse, and then pushes the client to buy from them any number of expensive magical or spiritual services that they claim will remove the supposed curse (which probably never existed in the first place.) The fact is, most cases I've seen of "free tarot readings online" performed by a real person who wasn't an amateur trying to practice, have been cases of this. They can afford to give them away for free because they know you will be forced to buy scam cures from them later!For those who want tarot readings online, professional readings are the best online tarot. People who give real readings work hard, and think about it -- you don't work hard for free. When you get professional tarot readings online, the reader will ask you for relevant information like names, then perform an actual tarot reading for you, and through Instant Message or Email they will report back your results. That's how real tarot readings work.The great thing about getting real tarot readings online is that you don't have to make appointments or travel to meet your reader. The reading comes to you, in a totally confidential manner. In fact, the privacy afforded by getting tarot readings online often allows even a shy person to open up more readily to the reader. Plus, since the tarot cards are read by someone far away who has no reason to know what you look like, there is no fear of running into your tarot reader during your daily life. Also, sometimes a reading is either vague in a point that's important to you or it needs clarification. When this occurs, a good online tarot reader can quickly get back to you with an explanation. You don't have to hunt your reader down for a more complete answer when you get your tarot readings online.As you can see from the time saving benefits, tarot readings online are simply the best way to have your tarot cards read. There are far too many demands in this world that require vast amounts of your time. Why should you spend any extra minutes getting your cards read, when tarot readings online can free you up to do other things while still giving you advice?Nevertheless, many people will continue to demand (and oftentimes, require) free tarot card readings. For these people to get the most out of their free tarot reading experience, a special book has been created: The Cartomancer's Key. This guidebook to tarot contains the meaning for all the cards and instructions on how to perform the spreads, whether or not one has any psychic ability. This is much better than computer-generated tarot readings online, for sure! Even better, The Cartomancer's Key requires only a one-time investment that's less than most professional tarot readings online. Plus, because the book is short, most people should be able to begin giving themselves readings within the same day.The most remarkable thing about tarot reading is its continued success: despite centuries of ecclesiastical condemnation and the shunning by skeptics and rationalists, the fact that there is still a demand for the art of the tarot reader today is obvious at all levels of society. That things have progressed to the point that one can get tarot readings online is truly remarkable.
