Interview With A Tarot Reader: Giselle

We hope you enjoy getting to know Giselle, an expert Tarot Reader providing Video readings!

Describe how you first found out about your psychic abilities.

I was not raised reading tarot or performing other forms of divination, however once I started it simply felt right. My mother bought me my first deck of tarot cards more than 20 years ago and I have been reading tarot ever since.

What have you done to develop your abilities?

To develop my skills, it is like anything else, practice, practice, and more practice. I have read books on tarot and divination, but the more I work with the cards etc the more I find that what the card is telling/showing me is much more important than what the books say the card should mean. As a result I have begun to trust my instinct rather than the books. Though, I feel it is still very important to continue reading the books as they have much information in them.

Describe your skills.

While I can perform several types of divinations such as oracle, scrying, fire gazing etc. tarot is still my preferred medium with a celtic cross spread. In some cases the cards tell you about what your question is, but mostly they tell you what you need to know at that moment so that you can continue to grow as an individual. I will not divulge names or dates as that is not my business, and is more likely to change the way you approach the situation than not, but I will tell you what I see for you.

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

My powers have blessedly never interfered with my work life, however it will kick in when out with friends or family who I suddenly feel the need to divine for. It is normally something to do with work the next day or even in the case of one couple, foretelling their marriage. I do not always have my tarot with me so these are the cases where other forms of divining kick in.

I do however have a preferred ritual for getting ready for a reading. I like to unwind a bit, meditate for a moment and focus in a quiet room with the person I am reading for rather than in clubs and restaurants as I have done in the past.

What is life like living with these abilities?

As far as my ability making my life difficult, only in so far as once you pull the cards out you suddenly have 20 people or so wanting a reading and trying to save your energy through all of them can be very taxing. And I am sure as others with this gift have noted, there are more who would tease you or degrade you for your gift. But you simply smile and let them have their opinion and move on. In all I would say that I have been blessed in just how little problems my gift has caused me.

Do you think anyone can develop psychic skills?

I think everyone has at least a small touch of psychic connection to the universe, some may call it intuition, others a gut feeling. But I believe there are levels and areas of focus which grants some people (desired or undesired) stronger abilities in the spiritual realm than the corporeal.

What do you like best about working with PsychicNetworkers?

What I like best about sharing my gift through PsychicNetworkers is the ability to help others find focus. Whether it be a straight forward answer to their question of will I find love or a new job, or whether it is something else the cards want them to know about a situation they may not even be concerned with yet. I simply tell the customer what the cards are saying, what they do with the information after that point is their choice. But then to me, that is what tarot is, it is reminding you that no matter what, you always have a choice.

Do you get readings for yourself?

I will occasionally do a reading for myself, but I rarely have others read for me. When I do let someone read for me, I look for someone honest, who will not sugar coat things too much. I prefer a reader with some experience and who also believes that what is being said is only one possible outcome, because by knowing the future you can change it, or at least aspects of it. I look for a reader who is respectful of her/himself, the client and the spiritual universe through which s/he is working for as well as a reader who, like me, has respect for all religions and spiritual beliefs. In short I look for a reader I feel I can trust.
