Psychic girls- Well, the thing with Tarot (and psychic readings as well) is that if you ask the same question more than once, it'll start giving you gibberish. So even if it's working for you and you have a good connection, if you ask multiple times, you'll ruin the whole thing. If you go into it with the mindset that you're respectfully asking the universe or God or whomever, then you get accurate responses. If you treat it like it's a dumb magic 8 ball, it'll treat you like it's a dumb magic 8 ball. Just ask once and see what happens then leave it at that. This particular app saves all your readings so you can check back later and see if it was correct. That's how I figured out that it was accurate for me. I felt like it wasn't, but I checked through it and saw things from a year ago that were on point. I just didn't feel it at the time. My thoughts on how it works is the same as regular Tarot cards except with less interference. Without going into a metaphysical debate, randomness is more the universe than anything. The universe can work with something random and organize it much more easily than it can change someone's mind or something that has been going down a certain path or picked up a lot of momentum in one direction. So I figure the more random, the better since it's easier for the universe to rearrange things. But I've had it answer with the exact same response to the same question, a couple weeks later after I'd used it for multiple other things and hadn't gotten those cards except only when I asked that question. It'll also make a lot of sense for the situation, too. And I don't enter my question or anything because I worry that it sets up some sort of algorithm. So I just keep my question in my head while I metaphorically shuffle. It was less accurate at first until I got the hang of it but it was probably just because I was treating it like a dumb Tarot app. Seeing it as a communication device with your guides really opens it up to more possibilities.
Hillcam- I prefer to choose new reading and I do a free form spread every time, regardless of how many cards I'm drawing. Only because I like to metaphorically shuffle the cards and go through that process more as just a ritual and I choose free form spread so I know the answer is in the form that I work with as opposed to whatever preset form was part of that spread. But I'm pretty sure it wouldn't make much difference either way, except that I subconsciously think that it does and therefore it does lol.
