TAROT SYMBOLISM * why certify?

Tarot Cards, a tool to access intuitive inner
voice, work much in the same way an Ink Blot test does. Each picture and
number wakes up an image or thought. Combining several cards together,
in what is called a "lay out," creates a living story about ones
personal journey. Tarot should never control ones actions, but allow a
reference point, or suggested strategy through which overwhelming
confusion can reach clarity. Always an Ali and never the boss, Tarot is a
means for Intuitive exercise and growth.

PAPER,CLAY,FABRIC, STONE..Symbolism

Though
the history of Tarot is ancient, in them selves, Tarot cards whether
created on paper, stone, clay or fabric are all about Symbolism. Tarot
Cards are a Tool to wake up "INTUITION," which is a gift that all
mammals own to aid in survival through nature and war. Used with skill,
Tarot gives strategy, emotional explanation and a plan. All final action
must come from the attitude of free will and common sense. A psychic
reader is only a guide.

TAROT FOR WRITING, COUNSELING, STRATEGY

Authors
such as Steven King and John Steinbeck have used Tarot to create story
plots for writing an out line of their books. Counselors have utilized
Tarot cards through client hands on use, as picture symbolism to
represent feelings. Many Psychic readers are like marathon runners that
excel in heightened intuition. Tarot cards aid in cutting to the chase
quickly and allow detailed sessions to get to the heart of the emotional
matter so that healing strategy can begin.

WHY CERTIFY?

For  those that have been readers for a long time, it becomes clear that one must have something to offer that stands out amongst the multitude of intuitive workers  in the field now. 

• There is no denying experience and a portfolio of client testimony is valuable.
• Accuracy and people skills shine even brighter. 
• Perhaps you are longing for a stronger upscale educated clientele and the love readings are getting a bit much.  You would like more variety.
• Often more  then not a more educated client goes hand in hand with a wider variety of subject matter to read on.  {Although we all cry for love, rich or poor.}
• Spirituality is widely accepted by everyone now. More educated clients are seeking reputable and ethical readers. 
• Drs, Lawyers, Bankers and Wall Street workers want proof that their reader is as certifiable as they have taken the time to be.
• We too choose licensed professionals for our medical, judicial and and tax problems because it makes us feel more CONFIDENT.
• Certifying proves that a reader "cares" about the ethics and procedure of reading and follows a code as a licensed light worker to be respected by all.
