Nobody knows the true origin of Tarot cards. What we do have for historical relics, are decks that have survived from 15th century Italy, when they were used in card games, the decks being individually drawn and painted, often commissioned by rich patrons. At some point in the eighteenth century, they were taken up again by scholars of the occult, with their designs and patterns being credited for influence on certain areas and features of life. Out of this rediscovery, came the modern day interpretation of the Tarot cards as a tool of divining the future, according to what cards were dealt.
The deck consists of 78 cards in two specific groups. One, called the major arcana, consists of 22 cards having numbers and specific designs relating to common areas of life or existence, such as strength, love, justice, etc. The other 56 cards of the deck are divided into four groups represented by cups, wands, swords, and pentacles. Each of these groups is related to the manner in which a person faces life.
A “spread” or dealing of the cards, may include 6-15 cards laid out in a specific pattern. The interpretation of the cards is based on: the position a particular card is in, which could indicate that event is in the past, present or future; which cards are nearest, thus influencing that aspect of a person’s life, and the reader’s ability to relate the meaning of one card, to the next.

Psychic readers are said to have extraordinary mental powers or a sixth sense, generally known as ESP (extra sensory perception). ESP is the ability to look into the lives and future of people and predict events, which have yet to occur. Derived from the Greek word psychiokos or psyche, which means soul or that which is mental, the word psychic is generally associated with fortunetellers.
Psychic reading implies the art of reading into a person’s life and mind. It involves use of intuition and deep analysis of a particular problem or a query that is posed by a person. Psychics use several techniques such as psychometrics, astrology, tarot, palmistry, telepathy, I Ching and so on to connect to a higher consciousness, which they believe will have answers to all questions and solutions to life’s mysteries. Psychic readings can relate to a person’s present , past, future, love life, family relationships, ailments, mental stress or tension and general success (or failure) in life. Psychic readers claim they can answer all these questions.
Some psychics offer free psychic reading as a service but this is not common. There are also professional psychics who offer free psychic readings for limited categories, such as health, love, and relationships. Most charge a fee for financial problems. There are some other psychics who offer a few minutes of free psychic reading and then charge for anything beyond that. Sometimes, the first call is given free while the rest of the calls are charged. This is generally used as a promotional offer. There are online psychic readers who provide free psychic reading over online chat.
There are several online psychic readers who provide one or more of such kind of free psychic readings. They can be located using search engines on the Internet. However, many offers of free psychic reading are just a way to attract people onto their sites.
Psychics provides detailed information about psychics, psychic readings, psychic medium, psychic healing and more. Psychics is the sister site of Phone Psychics.

There are many individuals today claiming to have psychic abilities. Some have made quite lucrative careers out of these claims. But are they real? Can they truly see the future? Do they actually have the ability to speak to the dead, foretell future events and recount past lives? I believe that it is almost impossible to predict the future of another person. It is much easier to predict your own future; after all it’s your life, who could ever know more about it than you? As far as speaking to speaking to the dead and recounting past lives, well I’ll keep an open mind about such things but my personal hunch is that most people claiming to have these abilities are less than genuine.
Many people claiming to be psychics are in fact frauds. But the same can be said about many doctors, lawyers, politicians, salesmen, or people in any other profession. One of the problems with determining which psychics are genuine and which are not is that there are no definitive guidelines for measurement. There are no professional policies or standardized practices to adhere to. There is no established governing body to report fraudulent psychics to.
Unlike other professions which have regulatory or licensing protocols to follow, there are no such standards for psychics. Anyone can call themselves a psychic and begin practicing professionally.
Fortunately there are some ways to determine whether a psychic may be misrepresenting themselves. A professional psychic relies heavily on reputation. A psychic with a bad reputation soon becomes a former psychic looking for a career change. If you are considering paying for the services of a psychic, ask for references and testimonials of satisfied clients. If a psychic is reluctant to provide such information it may be wise to search elsewhere for psychic services.
The best regulation of the psychic industry is word of mouth advertising. Frauds and con artists gain a bad reputation very quickly these days. A psychic with confidence in their abilities will have no problem with providing this information. Do your homework, ask others with an interest in psychics who they would recommend.
One thing to watch out for is anyone, psychic or not, who tries to use fear, intimidation, dis-empowerment, uncertainty, doubt, or any of a range of similar tactics to get you to hand over your power and fork over your hard earned money. One of the oldest scams around is for a fortune-teller, or con artist claiming to be a fortune teller, to tell you that you are under a curse of some sort, that “evil spirits”, “bad mojo” or some type other of curse is causing whatever sort of problem you may be having. This of course leads to being asked for money, usually being asked for money several times as part of an ongoing “treatment” to rid you of your horrible curses. The scammers try to convince you that they can fix your problems, exorcise demons, remove a curse, but it will take more time, more readings and of course more money. This turns into a kind of blackmail with you acting as a sort of willing victim. Beware of this scenario. If you feel you are being conned then you probably are.
Trust your own intuition in these cases and back out of this situation gracefully. You will be amazed at the change in attitude of the con-artist when they realize that you are no longer willing to hand over your money. Be strong and trust yourself to do the right thing. Most of this is plain common sense, but many times, especially when people are under a lot of stress or in a vulnerable state, plain sense just isn’t very common.
