Interview With a Tarot Master: Justin

Describe how you first found out about your psychic abilities.

Unlike some other readers with a lot of natural gifted ability, I developed my spiritual abilities with my own effort–a skill rather than a talent. With careful study I was shocked at how accurate my readings were and a lot of people were happy when I read for them. I was very young then and I would say that my interests scared a lot of people in grade school and I wasn’t treated well because of those interests. I didn’t let it get to me. For a lot of people these gifts come naturally but I had to work hard on mine. None of my family members to date share my interests in psychism.

What have you done to develop your abilities?

I think keeping my spiritual connection going throughout my life is the single biggest factor in developing my abilities. Have I had any special training? A lot of personal study and stick-to-it-edness is what I really think develops the psychic side of us. A life-long student of spirituality, I am currently studying in two post-theosophical schools.

Describe your skills.

Mostly I use the Tarot as my primary skill but like many readers I incorporate other skills into my readings as well. I usually do my readings in three-fold, meaning there are three individual parts of the reading.

The first part of the reading is a general overview of your life. It involves an eleven-card Celtic Cross Spread. This establishes a base to work from and covers all the main positions in your life, including your problems, what is supporting you, your past, what you seek, your personality, and your final outcome.

The second part of the reading I call the “next” part of the reading. Whenever I say the word next you will give me a topic and I will give you a one card reading on that topic. If you have any questions about the first part of the reading this is a good opportunity to get further clarity. So the questions can be something we talked about in the first part of the reading or a completely different topic.

The third part of the reading is perhaps the most important part of the reading. You select the most important topic on your mind (it can be something we talked about in the first part of the reading, something you’ve asked about in the second part of the reading, or a completely different topic) and I will give you a three card reading on that topic. There are various styles of three card readings that will work for your topic, some include seeing the past, present and future; how the situation affects you physically, emotionally and spiritually; what I see about the topic in your conscious, subconscious and super-conscious.

These are just some suggestions about how the three cards can be turned over and we can talk about the way that works best for your and your topic. Also if topics are hard for you we can just see what comes up. So it’s a lot up to us. Also, if you are short of time the reading can be of any length and doesn’t have to include all three parts.

My primary tool for divination is the Tarot but I usually incorporate some astrology and numerology into my readings. I think what makes my services unique is that I am primarily a spiritual counselor. I believe that if you really want your life to take off you have to look at it with an “extra eye.” It is one thing to have your fortune read but quite another to have that fortune interpreted in a way that will send you down the right path, where all that you seek is attracted to you. By approaching your life spiritually I believe this to be truly possible.

Are you able to turn your psychic abilities ‘on’ or ‘off’ when you want to?

I can turn my abilities on and off and I think with practice anyone can. Rituals to turn on ability? I think it is important to come into a spiritual place in the mind, so I quiet the mind. To aid in this I often dim the lights, maybe burn some sage and light some candles, as well as maybe turn on some soft music (maybe light classical). In regards to whether psychism gets in the way of normal life, I find that anything spiritual can only enhance life.

What is life like living with these abilities?

I would say that living with psychic abilities certainly makes life a lot more interesting. The spiritual path adds dimensions that are difficult to describe but that I can’t live without. Regarding any way that my life has become more difficult with psychic abilities I would say that those abilities have stirred in me a desire for an enhanced righteousness and morality than can be brisk to maintain, but I have learned that following that path of kindness has many rewards both mundane and sublime. Definitely many things are easier for me because of my psychic abilities. I have learned to see more deeply into situations…to get to their root–to not just see the surface but to analyze all that is going on.

Do you think anyone can develop psychic skills?

I absolutely think that anyone can develop psychic ability. It is how life was created. Just like the mystery of love is sometimes ineffable, so the mysteries of the soul are just as hard to describe. Yet they are as tangible and real as love itself. Like love you have to experience it to see how real it can be. It will require your earnest pursuit. The best mentality to develop these skills? Absolutely a spiritual one.

What do you like best about working with PsychicNetworkers?

What I like best about working for PsychicNetworkers is being of service. Helping people.

Do you get readings for yourself?

I don’t get readings for myself as much as I used to. I guess I have become more introspective and don’t look for answers as much outside of myself as I once did but I think it is important to get another point of view from time to time. I look for a reader who takes the reading to it’s highest level, not just telling my tangible fortune but taking that fortune to a higher, sacred, metaphysical level. Am I easy to read for or difficult? I think it’s a lot about being open to the impressions coming at you from the universe not just during readings but all through life. I can and I do read for myself. It gives me a lot of insight.

Is there anything else you would like to share about your abilities?

I think that the universe brings us knowledge so that we can pass it on to others and there may be nothing more important to this world than helping others. You know everyone has metaphysical experiences. Some of mine are extremely personal to me but if you notice the times (Carl Jung called it synchronicity) when the uncanny occurs no matter how small–it can be you hear your friend’s name on the tv and then she calls, or you are worried about your dad and he calls you to tell you his doctor’s appointment didn’t go as pleasantly as he had hoped, or you feel really close to nature or divinity–these aren’t coincidences and if we observe the pattern that they make in our life we find that the universe INCREASES their frequency (just because we began noticing) opening our mind to a more constant communication. If we become sensitive to this communication are lives both metaphysically and physically are catapulted forward. Something unique about me? I actually was a child reader and started reading professionally when I was only thirteen years old.
