Do you feel you are surrounded by guardian angels or spirits, and would you like to ask them about issues or situations that come up for you? An angel card reading may be just the thing. Angel cards fall into the category of tarot cards and a tarot reading advisor may be able to help you receive the answer from your angels and explain it in greater depth.
It works like this: You formulate an open-ended question, one that cannot be answered with a “yes” or “no.” Start with words like “how do I” or “tell me about” or similar discussion-type phrases. Your advisor may then ask you to pull a card or several from a deck, or she may lay some cards out in a spread. A spread is an arrangement of cards in a certain shape, where each position in the shape has a certain meaning. The meaning of the card that falls in that position is then related to its position in the spread.
Let’s say your reader is using a simple three-card spread: Past, Present, Future. She draws (or if you are sitting with her in person, she may ask you to draw) three cards from the deck. The first card drawn – let’s say it’s Archangel Michael, denoting strength – falls in the Past position. This would mean that in your past you exhibited strength, or the situation you asking about required strength. The next card drawn would relate to your present, and the last to the future, or perhaps the outcome of the situation.
Some spreads are even simpler – one card a day, for instance – and others may contain 10 or 15 cards in complicated shapes that give you abundant information about the issue. Readers usually know several spreads and after you discuss the question or issue, they might suggest a spread they think would work best to answer it. They might even get in touch with their own angelic guidance to find the best spread for you!
One well-known authority on angel communication is Doreen Virtue, Ph.D. Her website Angel Therapy contains an abundance of information: a link to angel oracle cards, a page on how frequently seen numbers contain messages from the angels, her blog, videos, and so on. This is a do-it-yourself site for angel readings; it does not contain access to live online readers.
However, doing a Google search for “tarot reading advisors” will return many sites where you can find live online readers, such as Kasamba. Having an expert’s input may not always be necessary, but many times it helps to have an experienced reader talk about the messages in the cards and perhaps point out some angel angles you may not have thought of. The reader is also well-versed in lesser known angels and in all the nuances of how the angels work to help you.
Before you select a reader, read her profile carefully to get a sense of who she is, what her training has been, and how long she’s been a reader. See if you get a “connection” vibe. If possible, ask her questions before the reading to see how you interact and if the energy between you is good. Speak with several readers if you can before you call about the actual reading. Don’t forget to ask your angels for a sign to guide you. All this will ensure a better outcome in most cases.
Before the reading begins, sit for a time in quiet meditation on your question, asking your angels and guides to gather round you and the reader and to send clear answers or guidance. You might want to hold a crystal pertinent to your question or issue during the reading if you work with them.
As the reading is progressing, your reader may ask some questions. Answer them honestly. Most readers ask at least a couple of questions to clarify the information they are receiving from the angels. Remember that angels occupy a different realm and communicate in different ways than we do, so sometimes asking you a question is the only way a reader can get clear about what the angels may be saying. Sit back, relax, and enjoy and appreciate the divine guidance you are receiving.
