So glad to hear you’re doing this. I am definitely interested in following along your project. I think one of the things that people assume is that it is only people who are missing relationship satisfaction in their lives. Or that it’s loneliness that is the root cause. Or that if only someone had xyz relationships and support in their lives they wouldn’t get readings. But what I definitely think should also be brought up is that there are other contributing factors. Anxiety in general is my biggest one. Doesn’t matter how many people are in my life or want to support me. I think I have a root anxiety issue that I probably need to address. It’s so much like gambling addiction or shopping addiction I think - except our “reward” is supposed knowledge of what the future holds. Or trying to find that one person who is actually going to be consistently right. That one person we can prove without a doubt and say conclusively yes this exists.
Because part of my driver too is that desire to prove that it exists. That not every single one of them are liars and frauds. Something in me has this compulsion to either prove it - and at the same time call out and somehow bring to attention the people that ARE frauds and scammers. I am also a tarot reader myself. And I have had incredibly valuable and transformative experiences and also given readings to others that they have said are helpful. So it makes me angry when I see this beautiful art form destroyed in a way. Because I appreciate it as almost an artistic talent to be able to read for others. And I don’t think it should be used for divination but more for self discovery.
Anyway. Those are a few of my thoughts. It’s not all about just wanting to know if someone is the love of your life or whatever.
