Welcome to Thorn Hedge Tarot
When I started as a tarot reader, I had used the Tarot on and off for a few years, relying on intuition and accompanying texts to do my readings. I seemed to have a natural instinct and friends would hand me their decks to see what kind of result I would get. This is strange in hind-sight, because many people are very protective of their decks and don’t like others to handle them, unless that person is a querant in a reading.
I was often very correct in my assessments and readings. Perhaps, one of the reasons is that I knew that I didn’t approach the Tarot as fortune-telling, but rather a way to get deeper insight into the present influences of a situation. Recognizing these influences allows you to influence what the outcome might be. I understood what kind of tarot reader I wanted to be, and how I wanted to help others.
