I hope I don't overstep this boards boundaries but I would like to request a tarot reading please A quick, one card pull would suffice.

Question: Will my wish regarding a baby come true soon?

Thank you!

Aselzion doesn't want this to turn into a reading Forum, and I concur, but maybe someone will come along and give you some guidance. That's a complicated question to base on one card or even a full reading, IMO.

Greetings...

It is not a matter of difficulty.

It is a matter of the compromise of my time if I were to be inundated with reading requests... which if you will look at the astrology forumis very common.

If any knowflake chooses to do a reading in this forum that will be fine, but I do not want to set a precedent where I will be obligated.

I have a day job and numerous studies and commitments that do not give me the leisure to do readings online.

I hope that helps.

Blessings...
A

I just wouldn't want to base that question on a card reading. Free-will is too important. What if the card told you something that you didn't want to hear? Think positive, image, and ordain.

Greetings...

Wise words, Randall.

The cards are merely a tool. The intent or belief and certainly the Free Will Choice of the Querent are always more important than the cards themselves.

The issue inquired about is very important and intensely emotional to a person, and I don't believe that an online forum, where the querent does not even have the opportunity to touch, shuffle or select their own cards, is an appropriate venue for a reading of this nature.

I am with you... Image - Ordain and Manifest.

That is the beginning of all magics and miracles.

In the Light...
A

Mal...what a heartfelt question from you. Even though this question could be posed for you, if I were you, I'd restructure it a bit...maybe ask the Universe "what can I expect from the coming days/months" and see if She so chooses to reveal to you a sign. Please remember that the Universe is fickle..and sometimes does not want to indulge us with information..she'd much rather we grow in patience and find out on our own...most likely that is how She will feel towards creation of new life...they come when you least expect it...such as the mystery of life itself!

It's just perception. We don't want this to turn into a reading Forum.

Curt? I can hardly agree with that. Short, maybe... but curt insinuates rudeness.

I'm sure Aselzion has a great many jobs to do in this life, and doing Tarot readings for strangers online isn't his top priority.

Seems like he's got his priorities in place to me.

Greetings...

Vinita...

I'm sorry if you found my response curt. However, I am not sorry for the content of the message.

When Randall and I discussed this Forum, its intention was never to be a place where I would do readings online. As you will have noticed elsewhere, particularly in the Labours of Love Forum, I am a firm believer in charging a nominal fee for services rendered, as neither a Tarot reading nor an Astrological reading qualify, in my way of thinking, as a metaphysical student/teacher relationship.

In such a teacher/student relationship no fee is to be charged, that is metaphysical Law. When information is "given" to one, it is in turn to be offered freely.

However, a reading is a skilled service that I believe deserves compensation. The reader has spent an amount of time and money to hone their skill, to purchase books or attend classes/workshops for which they generally have paid a fee. To me, then, a reading becomes a service rendered, and deserves a fair compensation. One would never expect a doctor or a psychologist nor even a massage therapist to perform their service for free. (And certainly no one expects it from the butcher, the baker nor the candlestick maker)

If a person CHOSES to gift a reading, and I do that very often (in person though, not GENERALLY online), I am 150% FOR such an arrangement. And any knowflake that reads Tarot is welcomed and encouraged to offer their skill, if they so DESIRE.

I do not believe that explaining why I choose NOT do do that (generally speaking) qualifies as a curt response. But if you do, that is your right and your choice. No insult was intended.

I think that about sums up my thoughts in this regard.

I wish you Blessings and Light...
A

randall i totally agree with u....its ur site....u have the right the choose the best for it....besides i also totally believe that while doing a reading a person shud touch the cards....it always brings more accurate results...am not very much in favor of online readings either....i really respect u....so i will answer to u whenever required.....no offence meant....but i dont think am answerable to anyone else....
oh aselzion by the way of the fees issues....
i think all readers deserve payment.....i never made any comment about it...i charge too but with totally different reasons which i do not feel like elaborating here.....
but i do feel the my msg was totally not translated in the sense it was supposed to be,by you.....

i think the matter is best closed here!!!

I have not been around for a while and did not realize I stirred so much trouble. I apologize for offending anyone by my request.

On a happier note, I am happy to announce that my baby is due May of 2005

Best wishes to all.
