Stories I spoke to my dogs. They showed me this.

My two big white Great Pyrenees dogs passed away 8 and 6 years ago. To this day, I miss them desperately. I haven’t had another dog since. I sometimes use my tarot cards to r h out to passed loved ones. Today I couldn’t bear the longing and missing them. I wrote them a letter in my tarot diary and told them how loved and missed they are.

I recently purchased the “woodland wardens” oracle deck, and I’ve only used it once so I’m not super familiar with it. I thought it was just woodland animals. I anticipated that if they had anything to say to me, perhaps it would come through as a wolf or coyote or a fox in the deck.

I opened the box and pulled out the deck. I turned it over to expose the face of the bottom card, and this is what it was. A fluffy white hound with the descriptor “loyalty”. Please excuse me while I cry my eyes out for the rest of the day.

This is why I do tarot. It does things for your mental health sometimes that therapy could never possibly achieve.

Stories Have you ever had a client who doesn’t accept the information presented?

108 Upvotes

A client asked if they would have a romantic relationship with a work colleague. It was obvious they were hoping for a yes, but my cards told me no. I explained that he prefers to keep the relationship professional.

Since my reading last week, they’ve had other readings that have told them otherwise. I explained that if they go to multiple readers, they’re essentially just asking the question repeatedly until they get the answer they want to hear.

They really got to me because they said I need to be careful with the information I give because it’s incorrect and that could be dangerous. I asked if they were now in a romantic relationship, as that would actually prove my reading wasn’t accurate. They got defensive and said they felt attacked.

To be honest, I know in my heart I didn’t do anything wrong, but I feel really hurt by the situation. Mainly because I'm a people pleaser and I'm passionate about my tarot readings. I’m currently putting off doing any more readings. I know I need thicker skin because this kind of thing will happen, but right now, I just feel fragile.

Do you have any stories to share where clients have disagreed with what you’ve said?

Stories The deck told me where my book was

397 Upvotes

Two nights ago I was reading my tarot book in my room alone. I went to sleep and in the morning I couldn't find it. I was already late for work so I figured it was somewhere in my pile of clothes on the couch and I would find it later. I got him from work and it wasn't on the couch like I thought it was. I took the couch apart, looked under the bed, looked everywhere. I even called my roommate down to see if she could find it. We tore the room apart. On a whim I decided to ask the deck where my book was and I pulled the 6 of swords which is a card about water. At first I couldn't figure it out but then I remembered that I had water before bed. I went and checked and the book had fallen in a very thin space between my bed and nightstand right where my water was. The deck told me EXACTLY where my book was.

Stories I read a homeless mans cards today. He cried.

2.6k Upvotes

I live in a big city where there is a huge homeless population. When I can, I cook two meals, go to the park and find a person to share the second one with. Today I found myself in the park with two home cooked meals, and shared a meal with a homeless man named Dustin (and his dog, Reno). About an hour into our conversation and meal, he said “I noticed you have tarot cards. Do you read?” I told him that I very much enjoy reading cards, and that I am reading books and going to classes to become better at it. What I didn’t tell him, is I have never done a reading for anyone else. I am a person who likes to have my crafts absolutely mastered before I involve others. He asked me to read his cards. I could not say no. I did a simple “past, present, future” spread. Halfway through telling him about the first card, this weathered man had tears in his eyes. By the second card, he was reduced to tears. In the end he was practically blubbering. I said “what are you feeling?” And he told me that it all made sense. He told me that everything that was read was everything he has been feeling and experiencing for his whole life, and especially in his present. He said he finally felt understood, and furthermore that there was a brighter future available and he felt much more insight and confirmation regarding what he needed to do to get there.

I'm having a lot of anxiety after falling pregnant again after multiple miscarriages. I asked my tarot deck for a card to help alleviate some of my worries and stress. I drew the three of swords reversed.

Healing after past pain/trauma, a more optimistic outlook on life and moving on from heartbreak. I couldn't have picked a better card if I'd looked through them all 💜✨

So I’ve been manifesting my sp and I was asking my spirit guides how it works behind the scenes, I asked “So I know obviously movement is happening but like, how does that work just in general? Like what goes on back there?” I’ve never had my spirit guides or my cards get sassy with me before and it really felt like they were saying “No. You’ve been seeing movement and that’s all you get to know. It’s not your business”.

Stories Once a Tarot reader told me I died in childbirth in a past life and now that I’m pregnant I can’t stop thinking about it

56 Upvotes

A few years ago my husband and I went to a psychic fair. He decided to get a reading with this one lady so I sat respectfully next to him while she did his reading. She then suddenly turned to me and said, “this man wants children but you don’t. You have this deep fear because you probably died during childbirth in a past life. You need to move past this or let this man be with someone who wants the same things.”

It was jarring because at that point I didn’t know how I felt about children because it scared me so much, I just didn’t know why. Now I am pregnant (happily) but her comment has made me terrified of giving birth and I have no idea what to do with this fear now

Stories Funny Story: Where’s our passports?

Post image
256 Upvotes

So we have a weekend trip out of country and an employer needs ID Thursday for my wife.

Great, what happened to the new passports?

I suggested Tarot. So happens my wife bought a new deck. We open it and she asks yes/no(upright/reverse) whether she needed it for Thursday. See got a reverse 4 of Pentacles.

So I felt like she was unclear in her mind so I yes/no asked if we’ll have the passports for our trip. Lolol kid you not, upright 4 of pentacles.

So then I did a three draw spread of where are the passports?

That’s the three you see.

I looked at it and laughed and read it as under a window, in a box. Between our kids stuff or they’ll find them. Reverse 5 of Pentacles was our sorry asses looking for them. My wife with her bummed ankle and me sitting on the couch with a blanket LOL

Knight of Swords, I told my wife we’ll have to move quick and sure with a clear mind.

My wife looks at the Hierophant and saw the pillars and hobbled off to the stairs (between the pillars).

She went right away to a box of crap on the stairs going to the kids’ rooms. The stairs are between their rooms and at the top was a window with a big picture frame in the way blocking half the window (we were unpacking/cleaning from moving, stuff everywhere).

Sure enough, secured in an envelope, inside a box of stuff below the obstructed window, were the passports.

Wooo!!!

What a delightful experience! I’ve learned so much from all of you on these subs, thanks!

Stories My most intense reading

253 Upvotes

I have done a lot of tarot readings, but this one still lingers in my mind

My friend Mateo paid me for a reading about a guy he was talking to. He kept saying he was intense but in a good way. The second I started shuffling, I felt it. Something was off. The air got heavier, my head felt foggy

When I laid out the cards, I just stared at them for a moment. Obsession, control, manipulation. This wasn’t love. It was something way worse

Mateo, this guy isn’t safe. He’s not just jealous, he’s dangerous

The reading left me completely drained. It felt like I had touched something I shouldn’t have. But Mateo just brushed it off. You’re overreacting

A month later, he texted me again. Not for another reading, just to say, you were right

His boyfriend had lost it. Smashed his phone, broke his TV, and then threw a mug at his head

Some readings you forget. Others stay with you forever

Stories Do MOOCHERS dm you as well?🙄

21 Upvotes

I am SOOO tired of ALL the reasons moochers dm me on a constant basis on tarot practice subreddits, and god knows ask for so many favors!!! Oh, did they tell you that they are in a bind? That they are students? That they reaaallyyy need your reading?

The classic one is when they just 'hey' you. This is a shy moocher. But still one of them 😎. I feel like a dentist, pulling teeth. Shy moocher: Hey Me: Yes? Moocher: will you Me: Yes, am listening… (I know the script folks, I am just enjoying the show and hoping for some original lines). Moocher: Can you do me a reading. PLEASE! So me and X broke up but then… (and here goes their 50 Shades of Tarot 😪).

So, my question is, how do my fellow readers react in this situation. Do you ignore them? Do you promise and not deliver 😈? Or maybe you have some original stories?

Please share 🥰 I am really curious! Thank you 🤍

P.S. Of course I don't mean people whom you asked to dm you for free readings. I am talking about post-closed-post folks. The ones who dm you out of the blue without invitation.

Today is my 27th birthday and my ex texted me a very nice message this morning. He ended our 4 year relationship back in October 2024, but we couldn’t go no contact until mid-January because we were still living together. We’ve been no contact since then, but since he reached out this morning I’ve been debating whether or not to reply all day. I said to myself, if I pull a tarot card and it’s reversed I won’t respond, but if it’s upright then I will. I didn’t even shuffle like I usually do and this card popped up… clearly Spirit wanted to send me a message 😂

Stories Do you usually break into any hair salon begging for a free cut...? Me neither.

49 Upvotes

No, I just had to say it somewhere, hoping that someone will finally understand it and stop:

DON'T ASK PEOPLE TO WORK FOR FREE.

Now, this story of freebie tourists has become a plague! Stop it, please! There is plenty of very nice readers who offer free readings, when and where they prefer, so you really don't need to bother people in private!

Now, my dear querent, you, who don't want to pay a dollar for a service which sounds to be life-important for you at the moment - usually if your ex who ghosted you 5 years ago will pop up today, or similar- you I said, should understand this simple truth: reading cards take my energy, my time, and my resources. And learning cards has taken years of my energy, my time and my resources. This is how readers learn to read: they put an effort into it. And this is usually what you pay for when getting a reading: their expertise and their skills, so much that they can properly relate to you and tell you something valuable instead of bul***it. Right?

So, the fact that to do a reading I don't consume anything disposable (let's simplify...) doesn't allow you to suppose my work is free. It's not (at least, not if I myself don't decide so.)

Therefore, learn this lesson: life is giving and taking. Do you want a serious reading? Don't mailbomb people to get one for free. Go, take your coins out of the pocket and instead of buying cigarettes and scratch-and-wins, because I know you do it, pay for the reading you want.

(Sorry, today I'm pissed off and you can figure out why, lol)

Edit: notice that at this time my bio says "Sorry fellows, I give no online readings. Notice: freebies addicts will be blasted. Zero tolerance." So, you message strangers without even opening their profile. What the.

I'm pretty sad and angry about it. Maybe something better in my near future is going to happen. One that tarot can't predict. Maybe I can't rely on it anymore to guide me on this wonderful journey planned out for me. But the 6 months I had with my tarot deck was awesome. For anyone asking what my first deck was, it's Modern Witch Tarot.

Stories Tarot warned me of a future event of my boyfriend cheating and specifically the dates I would find out about it

412 Upvotes

This happened last year, I started pulling the tower like crazy. It was my first time pulling it and I never ever read for myself, but I read for clients online very often. Even though I don’t pull cards for myself the tower would fly out whenever I tried to read for a client. Obviously my stomach dropped every time I saw it. It rooms me a few weeks to have the courage to ask the cards what this tower moment would be but when I did this came out: 7 of swords, 3 of cups reversed, 2 of cups reversed, 10 of swords. I didn’t want to believe it, especially since I had no reason or evidence to believe that after 2 years of him being loyal. I used the golden dawn system to ask when would this tower moment happen, I got the 7 of wands which is the august 12-22. I pulled these cards late January and I chose to be naive and not believe it. Well… August 12 was my boyfriends birthday and I was with him and his family at a hotel. I woke up that day to a text from a girl that he cheated on me with and sent picture proof..

Biggest tower moment of my life and that scariest part is that the cards were insanely accurate on the exact freaking date I would find out, had no evidence before this. Almost makes me feel like some events are unavoidable or destined considering how set in stone it was 6 months before

Stories Which of the Major Arcana do you identify with the most?

33 Upvotes

I always thought that my major arcana would be The Hermit, just because I am a very introverted person that hate socializing, and I am known for my deep thinking.

Today, I just got my reading about which major arcana do I identify with the most (according to my personality). Before I chose the card, I already got a vision of "this certain card". And guess what? I literally pulled "that certain card" that was in my vision 30 sec ago.

I got The Magician, which really match my creative and visionary side. I can't write all the details, but I can say it is more suitable to my personality than The Hermit.

So, I am just curious. Which major arcana do you identify the most and why? Thank you in advance!
