I am a Writer and a Tarot Reader

Even at a young age I was fascinated with Tarot Cards. I found them to be an incredible way to provide insight, and at a young age was completely obsessed with knowing the future. While I have learned that Tarot cards really just show you the path you are on, and that fate can in fact be changed, I do have to admit…. I’m still pretty obsessed.

Early this year, I have been grappling with how to sell online readings. And I find my biggest problem tends to be patience. I’ll let some listings live for a couple of months and well people will take a look, I can’t seem to get buyers. Yet I know I can sell them. I’ve managed to sell some in person before and lots of people sell tarot card readings online. So I’ve begun an adventure in this whole online business pursuit. Much like I have with my writing. I tend to give up faster than I should, when I really need to just let myself explore and fail. In both regards. Because honestly what is the worst that could happen?

I don’t sell anything. Which I’m already not doing. SO why can’t I seem to look at the what ifs? What if I sell tarot card readings and it helps me get out of debt? What if I enter a poem or story into a competition on vocal and win? What if I all I get from it is a little bit of money but some awesome lessons and some fun?

I think we’ve been conditioned to fear failing. And as a result we tend to stop ourselves before we ever really get going into something. Well I have been on Vocal for two, going into my third year and haven’t made much (like 28 bucks), I have been having a lot of fun. And I think I have learned a lot about myself as a writer. What I can write with ease and what takes me longer.

So why can’t I apply this to Tarot cards? Why not start a site and just roll with it. See what happens, without a deadline of failure and without the notion that it’s a pipe dream. Maybe I can make something out of myself. And even if I don’t. I can’t really be mad. Not when I went way out of my comfort zone to do something new and tell people, yeah I’m a witch. And yeah I write poetry.
