Tarot and Crystals

It has been a while. Yesterday I did some readings using my Zen Tarot deck and my roze quartz pendulum. I asked several questions and received answers that amazed me. One yes/no question was answered "yes", but today I found out that the answer's "no". The first time that the crystal failed to give the accurate answer. Oh well, maybe I should cleanse my crystals. After all, it's been--what, almost a year?--since I last bathed them in salty water, moonlight, and sunlight. Maybe it is time. Or maybe my biorhythm was disturbed. Perhaps it was only natural. Could it be my faith is waning? Hmmmm.

I have delved in cartomancy (read: Tarot) since I was in high school. I bought my first deck, the Zen version, either in 1991 or 1992. My Dad got me a standard version in 1993. Ten years later, October 2003, he bought me a smaller version, to be carried anywhere. I also have tea-leaf cards; and though I find them to be reliable, I seldom use them. (the cards' shape is circular. Not very practical.)

Some people say that you have to have "the gift" to be able to read Tarot. I believe anyone can read Tarot. It's fairly easy. As long as you're willing to learn, willing to open your boundaries and embrace new concepts. Of course, what I 'read' in one session might differ to what somebody else 'reads'. That's what makes it so interesting.
