For tarot readers

Free readings are the quickest way to learn and the quickest way to burn out. A practice that lets you keep being generous without emptying yourself.

You'll give up on tarot in about a week — not because it's hard, but because you'll start in the wrong order. Seven steps from opening the box to reading a card.

Breaks, a schedule, and a limit on how many cards I will pull — the unglamorous things that keep a reader useful for forty years.

I did back-to-back readings for years. I thought I was helping people. I didn't realise I was addicted, and it nearly took my practice from me.
