Some people believe that psychic healers have a “sixth sense” or special powers passed down through their bloodlines. Others believe tarot card readers are just a little more intuitive than most people, able to see “auras” or receive impulses about a complete stranger. Many of us are skeptics who are simply curious as to what tarot card readings could do for us. After all, as the popular adage says, “Don’t knock it ’til you try it!” No matter the back-story, a psychic card reading has more power than you might think.

So, what’s the fascination behind live tarot cards? Are people losing faith, looking for answers, or just plain curious? “People come by because they are looking for some kind of direction,” said Dawna SuMaria, one of the more experienced tarot card readers at the Hawaiian Islands’ 12th annual Psychic Faire in Lihu’e. For her 49 years of practice, Miss SuMaria charges $25 for fifteen minutes and aims to help people focus and reflect on their self growth. Another who does tarot card readings, Erik Taylor, said that self-actualization is a big part of his readings as well. “It’s about helping people get through their everyday things and be the best possible person they can be,” Taylor said. Like a mirror, he reflects back to them so they “see the scene as it really is.” The Psychic Faire is just one of many spiritual events happening this year.

In Shoreditch, London, a fundraising cocktail event for the Terrence Higgins Trust featured tarot card readings and relaxing massages, raising £35,000 in the end. A group called “Posh Milwaukee” hosts “selfless spoiling” fundraising events featuring massage therapists, tarot card readings, bottomless champagne and music at The Moct in Wisconsin, which has garnered much praise. In Haverhill, Massachusetts, you can find tarot card readers at the Winnekenni Castle for “Psychic Nights” offering 15 minutes of spiritual guidance for $20. All summer long, the Lilydale Spiritualist community on Cassadaga Lake features special events with clairvoyants, tarot readers, psychics and spiritual healers. In Etobicoke, Canada, tarot card readers are lending their ability to a good cause. The Women’s Habitat hosted their third annual Girls Night Out Fundraiser June 5th, which featured dinner, tarot card readings, zumba dancing and a silent auction. Port Richey, Florida held its first-ever Metaphysical Fair this year, featuring $15 psychic readings. The lines were longest for the dozen tarot card readers, festival organizers say. Adding tarot cards reading to the itinerary is a powerful draw for people who need an excuse to try it, they added.

The rising popularity of tarot card readings tells us a few things about our collective consciousness. One is that people are more open-minded and actively seeking answers. Generally, we do not believe that help can only be found in traditional means. (This idea is also demonstrated by the rise in Traditional Chinese Medicine clinics and schools within the United States that use massage and acupuncture to treat long-term diseases.) Another thing we learn from the popularity of the tarot cards is that the power of suggestion and the power of one’s own mind is a powerful thing; one that more people express an interest in studying. What better way than to take time out for reflection, introspection and meditation? You can learn how to read tarot cards as a way of sorting through the chaotic matrix that is your life.

Looking at the daily horoscope has become routine for many people. They use their horoscopes to make major decisions in their lives. There is a problem with this logic. Often horoscopes are too vague to do anyone any good. There is an answer that means a more personalized conjecture about your past, present and future. That answer is in tarot cards. These cards can be easy to learn and you can have a deck right in the comfort of your own home. There is no need to consult a psychic to get a reading.
