In this interview, Selena answers questions about her background, Spiritual Experiences and work as a Psychic Medium Tarot Reader, as well as why she prefers giving Tarot Readings by Email.

How did you discover you had abilities as a Psychic Medium?

When I was a very young child I could just “notice” or “get the feeling” that some people were “not good” – if they were going to hurt someone, or if thy were going to get into an accident and I would know what type of accident or harmful move that person would do and thing of that sort. I also knew when someone was telling tell truth, lying, or a little of both, mixed in their conversations. I would tell adults and they said “She just has an over-active imagination, or that I was lying, or that I was insanely crazy. Until the time came, that what I had said would happen ACTUALLY DID happen!” Up until then the adults just did not listen to me or what I was saying. Also, after my Great-Grandma Lee passed-away when I was 7 years old, I would see her “Spirit” and she would be talking to me and telling me things. I still see her “Spirit” to this day along with plenty of others who come to me, to help them or/and to help me.

Did your family support and encourage your abilities as a Psychic Medium Tarot Reader?

When I was younger they did not help me, but now I do get support from my family (my in-laws and my friends) they believe what I say and they encourage me to do more with my abilities, like this Psychic Medium Tarot Reader Job for instance, my husband encouraged me to “go-for-it” and let the world see and know what I can do.

Were your Ancestors Psychic?

Well, my Great-Grandma Lee was and my biological Dad is supposed to be, but I don’t even know him so I’m not sure, even though from time to time I do see a mans Spirit that I don’t know, but who knows me, not just about me but me!

How long have you been Reading Tarot?

For well over 20 years.

Why did you start reading Tarot?

I really don’t know why, but when I was 7 years old I found an old deck of Tarot Cards in the attic, and I sat cross-legged (Indian-style) on the floor and just started “playing with them” I would spread them out, scatter them around and then put 7 card face down after I would feel one of them “calling to me” then I would just flip them over. I did not know what the images on the cards meant, but since then I have felt them “calling to me” and I believe my biological Dad and my Great-Grandma Lee had a part in that. Then when I turned 15 years old, I just picked up a deck and this led me to getting more decks and learning all the information I could about them. I gave it up for a while but I came right back to them.

Please, if you would like to, share something about the experiences you had when you were clinically dead?

Well, I was in a coma for 1 month and then I flat-lined and then the actual dead part came: I could hear people in the room I was in, but could not see a thing, then I would see all sorts of stuff that I “in-a -way” believed and “in-a-way” did not believe. I saw “spirits” and people I knew from another life-time. Then I heard a “voice” if that is what you want to call it, it was neither male nor female, it was in a different language, but I could understand what it said! It said this “It is not her time send her back!!!” the voice was yelling at the Spirit Guide Keepers, to not take me any further, that I am not finished in this life as of yet!

How did these experiences impact your life and your work as a Psychic Medium Tarot Reader?

In my life at first, I had amnesia, I could only remember certain parts from my childhood. I did not know anyone from the here and now, or anything about the here and now. I was able to see Spirits and I had an unusual ability to know The Tarot Cards way better than I did before, also I would get help from “Spirit Guides” for other people, telling me things like “WHAT was UP!”

Do you have particular Spirit Guides or Helpers?
If yes, how do they help you with your work as a Psychic Medium Tarot Reader?

Yes I do have particular Spirit Guides and Helpers, my Great-Grandma Lee is always with me and that one Spirit of a man that knows me. I have others, but they don’t want me to mention anything about them – so I will not.

Why do you like giving Tarot Readings?

Because I feel as though I can do it awfully well and I sense that I can help people along my way.

Why do you like giving Tarot Readings by Email?

Because the accident that left me clinically dead, also left me handicapped and in a wheelchair, I have the privacy of being on my own to study and to  connect with the cards.  I also believe that people get more privacy from me reading their cards and giving them their answer through a private email. Also I think it is pretty neat!

How do you prepare to give an Email Tarot Reading?

I meditate on the question, I meditate in my own private space, the things that I need to have are always with me, in this space I concentrate and things “just-come-to-me”.

Do you have a particular Spiritual Practice?

Yes, I am a Pagan and Spiritualist.

What most inspires you in life?

My Husband, my in-laws, my friends and learning new things and increasing my abilities on the things that I already know–and “know about”

Is there anything else you would like to share or add to let people know more about you and your work as a Psychic Medium Tarot Reader?

I believe in the Tarot Cards and the journeys that I go on for people, I love my work!!!

Many thanks to Holly Colino for writing this guest post about The Chariot Tarot Card.

The Chariot – Control and Assertion

Control is a way we can assert our behavior to influence what we have and what we want. We are all human, living within a part of one great interconnected Universe (Humanity). Regardless of the way we may feel, we still can control our behavior.

You ever get stuck in traffic and feel frustrated? The female/male trying to pull out of McDonalds onto route 31 has been waiting and waiting. You feel frustrated and angst to get to your destination but you yield to him/her anyways because they have been waiting to pull out of McDonalds since you were almost a mile away. Someone has to sacrifice the ½ second to allow him/her to pull out.

Human desire to be needed and to acquire power is another important factor motivating control.  There are healthy ways to embrace personal power and belongingness. Our basic bodily needs, health and stability also call for control, which elevate our level of personal power. 

We can abuse our will and assertion when we are out of balance and lacking important elements of security within ourselves. Control can be abused.

Objective Meaning of The Chariot Card

The topic of control and assertion of ‘will’ brings up the objective meaning of the Chariot.

• Am I undermined and not asserting my own will enough out of fear and power others have over me?
• Is there an imbalance within myself and a void that I have causing me to impose my will on to others?
• Am I feeling out of control because my focus is only one sided?
• Have I taken accountability and looked at my own actions that have helped to create my consequences?
• Do I lack trust and lack faith in myself and is this causing me to feel the need to give up on situations that I cannot have total control over?
• Is there some other force or behavior I abuse in order to dodge the responsibility of coping with my situation or emotions?

William Glasser explains that we are not controlled by external events, difficult as they may be. “Nothing we do is caused by what happens outside of us. If we believe that what we do is caused by forces outside of us, we are acting like dead machines, not living people.” We must take accountability and responsibility for our actions. Justice.

As we can see from the synthesis of above context, our choices have much to do with attaining our needs and desires. These factors influence and motivate our levels of control. Personal accountability, responsibility and healthy balance to acquire self-security, influences the level of control we impose on to others and our situations.

Words associated with the Six of Cups Card

Intimacy

Closeness

Sharing

Openness

Trust

Tenderness

Caring

Symbolism of The Six of Cups Tarot Card

Children – innocence, openness, trust, open hearted, tenderness, beginnings.

Cups – emotions, the heart, feelings, love, affections, loving.

Flowers – blossoming, opening, beauty, colour, gift.

Figures – the boy is giving a flower in a cup, the girl is receiving it with open arms. Giving and receiving of emotions/feelings, the ability to share of oneself, potential for growth, openness to love and emotion.

Six of Cups 

This is one of my very favourite cards in the Tarot Pack. The feeling of trust and love that emanates from it is almost palpable.

Shared feelings can lead to closeness and intimacy, love can blossom and flourish in these conditions.

Alternatively the blossoming potential of love, trust, sharing and intimacy can wither and die.

Nothing in nature (or in the Tarot) is static, everything changes and is in constant motion.  So too this blossoming love, developing in feelings of trust and openness, is in a state of continuous development.

Personal Experience with The Six of Cups Card

When I first started my own Email Tarot Reading Web Site, I gave myself an Egyptian Five Card Reading, asking about the potential development of the website. The outcome card of the spread was The Six of Cups. Since then, Working on the site and giving Readings to many people has brought me very close to several people and I have been blessed to develop some deep friendships as a result – I have given much and received much in return – loving and trusting, opening and sharing, intimacy and gratitude. A very beautiful process. So much in tune with the Six of Cups Tarot Card.

Here are some thoughts on the Page of Swords

Swords – mental function, thoughts, realm of ideas 
Page – youthful, immature
The young man in the picture holds his sword to his chest, he is defensive and ready to attack if provoked 
Bare landscape, harsh looking environment, windswept and sparse.

Here follow some ideas about the meaning of The Page of Swords Tarot Card.

I was given a deeper insight into this card whilst involved in a short lived virtual relationship recently.  When I asked the cards questions about the relationship and its potential The Page of Swords Card appeared in nearly all of the readings symbolizing to the man in question. I wondered about this at the time…..

He and I conversed by email and got on very well using that medium, we then started talking by phone and again we got on brilliantly and yet there was a slightly harsh edge to his voice which made me wonder about him.  He was also quite a lot younger than me, which would account for the Page part of the symbolism. Also highly intelligent, which would account for the Swords part….

We were at the stage when we were about to meet up in person and I was getting quite excited about the whole thing.  Then……..I was doing a very complex and involved Tarot Reading which literally took me 7 hours to complete.  In the middle of this intense period of concentration, he phoned me and I said I would phone him back when I had finished…….several hours later I returned his call. Only to be met with a less than enthusiastic response.  I could understand why he would be pissed off and I apologized profusely and explained my situation but never heard a thing from him again.

From this I surmised that he was:

• reactive
• defensive
• needy, touchy and sensitive 
• emotionally immature
• quick to judge
• had an easily bruised ego 

So, through working with the cards and at the same time having an intense interpersonal experience I felt that I gained a very real sense of the Page of Swords energy.

Thank you dear Page of Swords. Really, I will be more thoughtful, considerate and careful next time!

Well amazing! February 2012 marks the beginning of the third year of this site Intuitive and Email Tarot Reading…..

From the Fairy Healing Cards by Doreen Virtue

I have met wonderful people over the past two years of Intuitive and Email Tarot Reading’s existence and have made some very good friends. Sometimes, when I lost my confidence and allowed myself to drift into self doubt – the support and encouragement of online friends was  invaluable. I really don’t feel I would still be up and running without them.

Intuitive and Email Tarot Reading 2011

 
At the beginning of 2011 I started including Intuitive Impressions as part of my Email Tarot Readings. This move has  proved invaluable, as these impressions add a deeper level of symbolic meaning to the whole reading.

I cannot tell you how gratifying it is to be able to help someone who is distressed and who reaches out to me. I consider it an honour when someone asks me for a reading and I always endeavour to do my utmost to help.

In June 2011 my beloved soul mate/friend/teacher passed over and it was almost impossible for me to give readings then and for about four months afterwards.

I began an Intuition Development Newsletter towards the end of the 2011 and  so this is still in its infancy.

2012

I have always had a very good feeling about 2012 and yes, life certainly seems to be moving on a pace personally and collectively. Personally – I am moving from Ireland back to the UK and I feel a great sense of peace growing inside me.  Collectively – there seems to be much turmoil and unrest in the world, while at the same time many people are waking up to the true beauty and power of their inner nature.

Intuitive and Email Tarot Reading in 2012

I have been wondering for a while, whether or not to add a Forum to Intuitive and Email Tarot Reading and I have decided that I will set this up in 2012.  This would allow people to ask questions and interact with me and also with each other. It would seem like a good idea both for the site and for anyone interested in learning more about Tarot, Intuition and Spirituality. I will do this when I have moved back to the UK at the end of February.

I am particularly interested in helping other people to develop and use their own intuitive powers and I intend to continue doing this in 2012.

The Ace of Cups - Tarot Card Meaning

In this post I will outline some meanings for the Ace of Cups Tarot Card

A new start in love

New love affair

Being offered love and friendship

The hand of friendship being extended

Beginning everything with love 

Possibility of love

Seeing where love leads

My own feelings about the Ace of Cups Tarot Card

A great blessing is being bestowed, love is being offered. The emotions are being stirred and everything is possible. There is so much potential represented in the Ace of Cups Tarot Card.

How exciting and lovely it is when love is offered.  The heart can be touched, if it is open enough to be touched that is.

In the Ace of Cups Card, the symbol of the bird above the cup seems to me to be giving a blessing.  The circle with the cross reminds me of a communion wafer.

Ace of Cups – Symbolism 

The bird represents a dove, the messenger of hope and peace.   The cross represents the spirit reaching to earth and “crossing” through the human body/the physical plane. The horizontal line represents the physical, the earth, the material world. The circle represents the whole, universality and connection.

The Ace of Cups is saying that what is being offered through love is nothing less than divine.

The cup/the vessel/container of love can be a person, thing, situation, job, animal. 

In the Ace of Cups Tarot Card, the cup itself is overflowing with liquid, which falls into and mingles with the waters below.  To me this symbolizes;

The way the emotion of love connects you with everything and everyone else.

How love dissolves barriers and unites people.

How the emotions link you with the mysterious ebb and flow of life.

How the emotion of love can take you outside of your ego centred self.

Whose is the hand that is offering this gift of love? For in whatever way love comes to you, it is part of the One Source of Love. Love is calling  for the small sense of self to dissolve into the whole.

The Ace of Cups is full of potential.  What are you going to do with this precious gift that is being offered to you?

I hope you have enjoyed this post about the Ace of Cups Meaning.

Grateful thanks to Holly Colino for doing this Intuitive Tarot Reading Interview - November 2011

Gillian Knebel: Perspectives on intuition and effective preparation for intuitive counsel

“Welcome to Intuitive impressions by Gillian Knebel. I was very intrigued to see a new original style of Tarot card reading by Ms. Gillian Knebel. She is the only Tarot reader that has yet to establish a website that offers these Intuitive Impressions. I was pleased to be able to interview and ask Ms. Knebel some valuable questions that pertain to Intuition. Gillian was kind enough to offer her time. “

How much time do you spend on one client to do an intuitive reading?

Usually it takes me an hour and a half. I have to spend time to clear myself of my own thoughts while tuning in to my sacred space. It takes much energy.

Describe your method to receive guidance for your clients concerns.

I first propose the question once I have reached the sacred space. I simply allow the unconscious to guide me on a journey along with inviting the Divine Spirit into the reading. Once I have finished the intuitive journey I draw tarot cards. The Tarot Spread or the numbers of cards I use depend on the nature of the client’s question. As almost always, the tarot cards synchronize with my journey information.

What do you conclude from the Tarot cards and how?

I have a great understanding of the cards after working with them for so many years. I now can look at them collectively and gather a main message. I can look at them as a whole and gather sentences. I often use the symbolism to gather meanings. I do get very strong feelings towards the cards while meditating upon them which helps to interpret the message they are sending. I have a strong ability for clairsentience, an inner knowing and guidance of feeling my way to the meaning of the message.

How have your Intuitive Abilities helped you along the way?

I feel that it takes care of me. I have become an eccentric. The ability has actually helped me with my eating. I simply know what and when to eat. I now can listen to my body and that intimacy has helped me to nurture my entire being. One really important achievement I have gained from my intuition is the mastery of knowing my divine path. I have achieved living in my truth rather than making decisions based on what others expect of me and not being happy with the outcomes.

What is your main goal to be obtained from establishing your website, Intuitive Impressions?

The immediate effect I wish to create is reducing the distress in other people’s lives. I want to help Humanity by being a conduit of intuitive inspiration. I also wish to empower Humanity and enlighten others about their Divine Self and own intuition.

What are a few things you would tell a client asking you about enlightenment of their eccentric self?

I see too many people giving away their personal power by relying on other sources incessantly for guidance. We all need help getting through problems but we must not forget that even the outside help is to support triggering the answers that always lie within us. It is important for people to trust in themselves for the answers.

One other vital factor for anyone using divination for guidance, is to propose their question with direct clarification of intent. It is important when you are  giving or receiving a reading, to make sure there is a meeting of minds. You must make the intent clear so the guidance may also be clear.

Grateful thanks to Holly Colino, for writing this Guest Post; a perceptive and concise interpretation of the Ten of Wands Tarot Card.

“Amass and Congregate”

 
*Collecting our experiences or goods and utilizing them for a cause for the future.

* Tying up loose ends.

* Energies coming together to serve and sacrifice for a common interest.

 * Carrying our burdens with us for a goal which ensures a greater future.

An example of this energy could be preparing for a trial, a group of people working together on a community project outside their day jobs, a family preparing for a move, or attending college atop your job, family and other many responsibilities.

The Ten of Wands Tarot Card will always entail some oppression (pressure). This card does mean you will be bearing the loads and you will be left alone with bearing all the burdens; you will be the bearer of all the duties.

The Ten of Wands Tarot Card will ask you if you are burdening yourself with over extension. Oppression challenges us on an emotional level. Are we yielding to others or a stigma? Are we the cause of our burdens? How can I have a clear vision if I am shouldering too many burdens? Do I always have to shoulder another ones burdens? Can I say no? Are you too narrowly focused and overcommited to one cause?

The Ten of Wands Tarot Card asks you to take a re-stock of your current lifestyle. Assess your deficiencies and excess. Take time to reflect from your experiences and regroup your priorities. Here is a story that pertains to a client sufficing the Ten of Wands energy:

Client X is living alone and does not have any family or friends. X just moved into a new town. X enrolled in college. X needs to find work while in College. X meets a friend who turns out to be a stalker while X is in college burdened with loads of homework and the college has yet to give X an advisor. X is struggling to know where they stand in college due to no advisor. X is burdened with having to find the right path in their college education and is still trying to find work in between all of the other pressures. X is being burdened by other students for help on homework and by this stalker who bombards X’s boundaries with constant threatening and sexually harassing phone calls, texts, visits to X’s apartment late at night, popping up many times while at college or the store etc. During this entire time X has no emotional support.

Here is  a Tarot Spread based on  the The Six Directions.

The six directions are North, South, East, West, Great Mother Earth and Great Spirit Sky.

I lay the cards out – one card for each direction. Now I hasten to add, this is my particular way of doing this and other people may have different ideas:

1. East, air, mental faculty. thought
2. South, fire, sexuality, passion, drive
3. West, water, emotions, feelings
4. North, earth, physicality, the body
5. Great Mother – connection to the Earth
6. Father Sky – connection to Great Spirit 

The Six Directions Tarot Spread

Here is a practical example of the spread:

I have been wondering for a while, given the general economic situation, together with the fact that I like the idea, about bartering tarot readings. So with this idea in mind I drew the cards for the Six Directions:

 1. Card on the right, East, air, mental faculties. thought

The Sun, bright ideas, optimistic thoughts, hopeful and promising ideas, thinking things will turn out well.

2. Card on the bottom, South, fire, sexuality, passion, drive

Six of Wands, victory won through passion, drive creating success, coming out on top with zeal and fire.

3. Card on the left, West, water, emotions, feelings

Queen of Pentacles, dealing with peoples feelings, grounded emotionally, well directed feelings, good use of emotions, kind feelings, sharing emotions.

4. Card on the top, North, earth, physicality, the body

Six of Cups, physical connection, sharing physical things, getting close through material objects, sharing precious things.

5. Card on the left, Great Mother – connection to the Earth

Three of Pentacles, learning about connection to the Earth, student of Mother Earth, apprenticeship to the Great Mother.

6. Card on the right, Father Sky – connection to Great Spirit 

Six of Pentacles, dedicated service to Great Spirit, honouring Spirit with time, energy and material resources, many calls on time and energy from Great Spirit.

 Conclusion

Bartering Tarot Readings would seem like a pretty good idea from all aspects of The Six Directions Tarot Spread!!
