Gwen Lake - Tarot & Beyond : Information/News

For those in a money-crunch

Gwen Lake — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 19:46:00 GMT

A three or four minute reading is often not enough to get the deeper information, but that being said, if a short reading is all you can afford at this time, I will honor your time and money and not try to keep you longer than you want. I still have to charge, but I'll respect your money concerns. :-)

While I only give free minutes to regular callers who tend to call for longer readings, as a Thank You and to help toward their next paid call, I will give a paid reading as quickly and efficiently as possible, so that you don't have to spend a lot if you cannot.

I cannot give out free minutes for free calls where no paid time is added, but, as stated, I will read for you in as efficient a manner as possible so that you need not worry.

Budget yourself for my price per minute, you may even want to set a timer/alarm to go off for you if you have such a device, and together we can keep it short and sweet if you really need to.

Although longer readings are wonderful because the caller can get a lot of in-depth help, and I as the reader get much more satisfaction out of going deep into the heart of the matter for you, I do understand that sometimes a brief look at the nature of an issue is all you want to go for or can afford.

Hoping this can help somebody today who is worried about calling and being kept on for more time than they can afford, at this awkward time of year financially.

With love,

Special -- $5 five-card e-mail readings -- convenient, affordable insight!

An e-mail reading can be a convenient, affordable way to get an insight into your situation without talking-up a long and pricey paid call - get a five-card reading on one question for five dollars! My five card spread gives:

the root influence on your issue
the current energies
the probabilities that will come into play in the near-future because of these
what to avoid or be cautioned about
and what actions or approach can help produce the best out of your situation.

There can be a lot of helpful information in a reading like this, so don't miss the chance to take advantage of a low-priced opportunity to get your reading now! I love to do e-mail readings because I don't place a time-limit or word limit on what I'm perceiving, and I love to get into the flow of the intuition my cards are setting off. Let me see what I can help you too with today.

Please send one question about one situation or one person, with just a little basic background so that I know what I'm identifying, for example, if you want to know about a love interest, let me know a couple of basics such as, we are broken up right now, we are current right now, we haven't become involved yet. Or for Work: you are in a job, or looking for one. The rest I can zoom in on after that.

Your reading will be conducted within 24 hours, usually much sooner, and sent as a Pay To View; just e-mail me by pasting Gwen Lake into your To: field in KeenMail, send your question as above, and I will reply with Pay to View.

Have a great day, thanks for checking out the sale special!

The "Lost my voice!" E-mail Sale one more day!

Gwen Lake — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 18:18:00 GMT

Despite still having a scary-raspy voice that sounds like a weakened Lord Voldemort hissing in Parseltongue, lol!, I had a wonderful day yesterday keeping busy with e-mail readings! THANK YOU to everyone who requested one! The sale price extends today, $5 for one question to which I give a detailed and thoughtfully considered reading. I love to do these readings.

So, it hasn't been so bad losing my voice after all, thanks to the lovely people I was honored to help yesterday, and who helped to keep me working and gainfully employed through this illness. I hope to be recovered soon, and back on the phone line to take your calls -- without it sounding like you just called Lord Voldemort for a reading, hahahah!!!!

Lots of details, just as good as a phone reading, if not better in some ways, because I take as long as needed over my e-mail readings, and have more time to ponder and get my flashes and messages, than there is time for sometimes in a rushed call.

So, this e-mail offer is a great bargain -- you will get a great reading without the tick-tick minute-pressure of a call.

I will do more than one 3-card spread to look at different aspects, and you may ask one follow-up question via Keen-mail, for clarification on anything in the reading.

Just click on the "Buy Now" button at the left of this page, to get the five dollar special price today.

Hurry and take advantage of this offer before the salt-water gargling finally works, hahah!! ;-)

The Secret Life of a Tarot Consultation --

Gwen Lake — Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:59:00 GMT

-- the metaphysical 'nuts and bolts' of a reading. ~

Many theories abound, here is my feeling about some of what may be taking place when a connection on a metaphysical level is being made.

Any divination method, such as the Tarot cards, acts as a tool with which the psychic reader accesses their own intuition, clairvoyance, precognition and the vibrational energies in which this information exists.

You may already be familiar with the concept of a unified field of energy in which we all exist. Everything, living and inanimate, is, at atomic level, nothing but a field of energy existing within larger fields of energy and so on outward. At this level and in this way, we are all part of one connected field.

In our everyday lives, living in awareness only of the mundane physical level, we tend to forget and ignore the finer vibrations at the smallest atomic level, and how these are alive with information constantly flowing beyond our five senses.

But it is on these forgotten levels that phenomena operates such as telepathy, intuition, clairvoyance or being able to know something that is happening or being experienced at a distance, and future possibilities arising from the nature of the information.

What a psychic reader like myself is doing when we read for you, is that we are opening our intuitive mind to this hidden energy field of information. The success of the connection depends on how open and honest the seeker is, and how open, calm and ready the reader is. Depending on how clear the channel is for the reader's mind to free itself, what I receive are impressions of mood, actions, impressions of emotional tone, psychological tone, and "mind's eye" flashes of possible outcomes. When focusing on a question you have asked, I'll often get a symbolic picture of some thought or action in my mind's eye.

How Tarot cards help me is that each of the 78 cards in the Tarot deck have specific traditional meanings or a range of meanings, and when I choose and turn over a card while focused on your question, laws of synchronicity make a subconcious influence on which card I'm choosing. When this is operating freely, the card will be something that gives accurate insight into your issue, and that card's interpretation helps me know what I need to tell you about the impressions and conclusions I'm forming from a combination of my intuition and the cards that are coming up during the process.

Some cards have become notorious, such as the card "Death" or The Tower. Don't be afraid of getting these cards in a reading! Did you know that, rather than meaning literal death or destruction, each of these cards actually carry very positive messages of new beginnings and the release of old and destructive patterns?! Now, doesn't that feel better to know?

Psychic readings, even when accurate, are not "set in stone." Possibilties change as your actions, the actions and decisions of those around you, and even your own thoughts, change. We should not tell you what course of action to take, and you the seeker must weigh the insight a reading gives you with other knowledge or perceptions you yourself already have concerning your situation. Balance the mundane facts with the psychic perceptions, for the best pathway toward knowing what you must do next.

The best spirit in which to consult a reader is something like this: that Tarot cards and all psychic readings can be a wonderful "extra angle" on what is possibly going on in your life and those around you at a very deeply spiritual level, which is after all where our daily experiences all ultimately spring from at their very beginnings.

Hi, Welcome, and some bio background

Gwen Lake — Thu, 29 Mar 2007 00:58:00 GMT

Welcome, and thanks for dropping by.

I won't be "blogging" much, because I prefer to devote my focus, my time and my energies to my work in helping people with my readings, pure and simple. I am too busy with not just that but another creative outlet which takes up my juices. I came to Keen to give good readings, not to give good blog, lol. But here is a little background history I will keep here so that we can get to know each other better, and so that if you are thinking of consulting me for a Tarot reading, you will know more about what I do and what I'm bringing to the reading and how.

Background:

I'm in my forties, have much life-experience to draw on in my understanding of a caller's situation, and I'm a London-bred Brit making my home in the USA. I feel blessed to have both these distinct cultures and sociological histories influencing my world view. My mother and grandmother had natural-born abilities in mediumship, tea leaf divination, precognition, clairvoyance, and my mother used telepathic gifts which were utilized most deeply during the ongoing Blitz era of the United Kingdom during WWII.

I inherited varying degrees of most of these abilities plus sensitivity to energies and atmospheres, and although my antecedents took them in stride, my own were somewhat more disturbing to me for a long time; nonetheless, I was a believer and studied all I could. I have had a lifelong history of spontaneous precognitive dreaming, sensitivity to the moods and true feelings of others (some call this having empath abilities, I just think of it as knowing what someone's really thinking, lol) and sensitivity to hauntings and other place-or-person centered information not accesible to the five ordinary senses. Some of these abilities have been hard to handle particularly when I was younger, but mercifully I had a family to whom it was all no strange thing.

It wasn't long before I used my pocket money allowance to buy myself a Rider Waite pack of Tarot cards, as a very young girl. I still use the same pack today. I took to the cards immediately, loving the beautiful, mysterious illustrations by Pamela Colman Smith, intrigued by the labyrinthine possibilities in the traditional meanings of each of the cards, and encouraged by how my first readings seemed to turn up the "right" cards for the individual Querent's particular situation - even though my querents at first were my equally young cousin and any other family member I could hoodwink into letting me "practice" on! Over the years I have done readings for an ever widening circle including friends, friends' friends, and party settings.

Method:

Although I have studied, learned and utilize the traditional meanings, in tandem with some interpretations of my own that I have noticed have repeatedly become "my" messages about certain things I'm reading, I use the cards and these meanings as a "gateway" to my further intuition, in which optimally I pick up the energy or "vibe" of a person or situation. While reading, I am not only choosing face-down cards for you and analysing the "story" they are giving me, but I'm also getting mental impressions, ideally visual flashes in my mind's eye, emotional impressions, or symbolic ideas which prompt me in the information I need to relay to you the client. My use of the cards is in tandem with these psychic impressions when my connection to the client is optimal and no blocks are being presented to me.

The kind of reader I am:

My style when reading is friendly, understanding, and compassionate, though this by no means excludes honesty -- please note that I do tell the not-so-good news I may see in a reading; I consider it as being owed to my clients to be gentle yet not candycoat.

To tell you truth in both good and bad is kinder in the long run, as it does not serve your best interests for a reader to mislead you.

I give honest, down-to-earth information and guidance, with the kindness and compassion that comes from having been through a lot in life myself.

The kind of help I prefer to give:

I seek to assist clients with issues for which they would like not just insight and answers, but also guidance in how best to deal with a situation or person, overcoming, learning from an experience, reaching solutions/resolutions, and growing toward new chapters in their lives if necessary, in the best way for all concerned.

My availability on Keen:

I work a day job which is my own business that I run and which leaves my energy low; for this reason I am most likely to be able to take your calls at the weekends, very often:

Friday evenings

Saturday day and evening

Sunday day and evening

I try also to take calls on Mondays, morning to mid-evening. All days noted may include some break times or time-out for errands (my Sunday paper is not delivered!)

The rest of the working week there may be some evening-time, but due to the fact that I work at my day-job Tuesday to Friday, I am often too tired to conduct readings on those evenings.

I cannot read when tired, and this is why I do not do Keen readings seven days a week, the way other advisors are at liberty to do. Unfortunately I am not at liberty to do so. I want to give you my best, and that is why my Keen availablity is hand-picked by me, when I know that I will be on-the-ball for you.

E-mail readings are usually completed within 48 hours of receiving your paid request and information, unless there is an extra busy demand setting it back to three days.

Thanks for stopping by; I would be honored to hear from you for a reading.

In the immortal words of the great Elvis Costello --

("What's so funny 'bout -") ....Peace, love and understanding.
