Types of Readings
There are many ways to perform a reading. This
can be done through tarot cards, runes, playing cards, cowrie shells, and by what I call channeling. When
getting a reading it should be understood that each reading isn’t set in stone!
Every decision that one makes affects one’s future. With this in mind, let’s examine but a few
methods of divination that I personally have used with much success!
Tarot Card Readings:
Generally when I perform a tarot card reading for a client, I do whats
called an extended Celtic Cross layout.
This layout consists of 13 cards with the center focus of the issue
being the center card. Each card in turn
then elaborates on the cards around them in the placement and gives a general
understanding of what is to come past, present, and future.
Runes: In a
runic layout, I choose 7 runes. Six
runes are arranged in a past, present, and future arrangement with the seventh
one of the grouping being the center focus of the issue and becomes an
indicator rune for the querent. Another
method of performing a runic reading is by placing the runes in a bag and
shaking them and drawing out 3 to see generally what is going on around by
again checking the past, present, and future of the situation at hand.
Cowrie Shells: A cowrie shell reading can be utilized for questions that have a "yes" or "no" answer. This method of reading is a lot like a pendulum reading in that a question is formulated that will only have a simple answer to it. This type of reading has basis in the Ifa faith (African Traditional Religions) and can be a useful way to get a straight answer to a question that has been gnawing at the querent but that doesn't require an elaborate layout to find answers. This method is based in a more complicated set up that requires years of practice and knowledge from a learned elder to interpret the various sequences and odu that accompany each layout. For my purposes, I only use the 4 shell method which is useful for a simple answer.
Channeling: A
channeling session is a mediumistic exchange of energies between me and the
spirits of either the person I am reading or the Gods that I worship. These entities exchange information with me
to pass on to the querent.
