Questions:
1. Are there any types of readings you won't do? Why not?
2. Is there any tarot card you identify with the most? Which is it? It doesn't necessarily have to be a triumph card, it can be a pip card.
3. Is there any reading that you've ever done that either gave you the chills or impressed you. Don't betray anyone by name or anyone who's easily identifiable. Keep it anonymous.
4. Which is your preferred system of tarot? Pip style, (Includes Italian, TdM, or any pip tarot deck), Thoth, Waite Colman Smith, Continental, or any other. Why do you like this system best?
5. Do you prefer doing in-person readings, remote, or other types? Why?
6. Besides tarot are there any other oracular systems you enjoy using? Which ones and why?
