I have used the cards to facilitate counselling for friends and professionally. A good reader is very much like a good counseller...helping you see your own truth. Less hokuspokus than spiritual intuition and a meeting of minds/spirits.

I've had readings (and given a few) that were just off the mark. As with anything, trust yourself about how much of it fits. Most readers will encourage you to use it as a reflective tool and not a road map.

(On another note, I wonder why so often people assume that gifts of insight and tools of intuition are not divinely given?)
