In-depth readings

It’s been a busy few weeks chez Troi. Our Guide Dog puppy will be leaving us this week to go up to advanced training. I say ‘puppy’ but she’s 17 months old now. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that she will make it as a Guide Dog, or if not, she will be found some other job such as a buddy dog. We’re not planning on having another GD puppy for a long time – we’ve done two and it’s taken up two and a half years of my life. We have offered to board any pup whose volunteer puppy-walker needs some time off, so we’re not giving up completely. We also have two of our own Fabrador Relievers to keep me fit.

I’ve received a couple of requests to do in-depth readings again, so I’ve just set up a page where tarot card packsyou can order one if you wish. I’m not out to rip people off by charging $90/£50 per hour or anything silly like that – I’m sticking to a basic one price reading – $30 USD or £19 Sterling. You’ll get a couple of pages (between 1,000 & 1,500 words), including scans of your cards with descriptions, a brief explanation of each card and an interpretation as it applies to your question. It should take me around an hour+ to complete so it’s an absolute bargain! In-depth readings. You know you want one… think of the dog biscuits you’ll be contributing towards.

My latest offering at Lunar Café is another look at the benefits and advantages of one-card tarot.

I use the Star to show how tarot can answer a simple question about a meeting at work. One Card Tarot Readings.

Online tarot reading tips and ideas

I’ve started writing for a new (to me) site – Lunar Cafe. Am pleased and proud to be one of their stable of writers although, so far, my articles have been posted under one of their editors’ names and my bio hasn’t appeared – well it’s only been a few days.

Anyway, it’s keeping me busy, but not so busy that I can’t add another article to this site. I used to do a lot of email readings. Tons of them. Not so much these days but I thought I’d put together some tips for anyone thinking of setting up an online tarot reading business, whether you do written readings or embrace your inner performer and do them by Skype (much more cost-effective).
