Myth:  Tarot Cards must be a gift, you should not buy your own tarot cards.

Truth:  You most certainly should purchase your own tarot cards.  Your decks should be selected based on what you are drawn to, which deck calls out to you, what artwork inspires you, makes you feel good, makes you want to grab the deck off the shelf and open it up before you even get back to your car.........the deck should choose you too!

Myth:  You should not read your own tarot cards.

Truth:  Tarot was originally developed as a tool for spiritual growth, based on the Qabbalah and the Judeo-Christian Bible and NOT for divinatory usage.  Divination using tarot came about because after a time tarot was hidden, esoteric, only religious scholars understood it, therefore, skilled tarot readers did not exist.  You actually should read your own cards, and frequently, to develop self-understanding.

Myth:  If it comes up in your cards, it will definitely happen.

Truth:  If it comes up in your cards it is likely to happen, however, based upon your course of action moving forward, you can change it.

I like to use this example.  A man calls me for a reading asking if he is going to get a new job.  Up until the time he calls me for a reading, he has been putting his resume out there, networking, etc.  I read his cards.  I get a strong yes.  The timing comes up as about six weeks out.

Reading over.  The man decides that since it is in the cards his work is done, he stops aggressively seeking a new job and calls me in seven weeks to tell me he has not been contacted or got any leads on a new position.  He changed his course of action and changed the outcome.  For a reading to remain "intact", so to speak, you must continue with the same course of action.  The reverse is also true, if you do not like the outcome of your reading it is possible to change it.
