Well...
This thing is turning into something negative.
I think in this situation I see both sides. I read Tarot Cards. And yes, I have read them online several times. HOWEVER-- I was doing so in a one-on-one, Instant message situation.
So here is my two cents on this matter:
While I don't agree with the format Ul is using, and am not sure if her method is exactly beneficial, I DO believe that the Cards themselves usually know what to say. If someone gets something out of her method-- then great.
Its not the method I would choose. For one thing, its public, and I don't agree with reading for others publically. First of all, because confidennce is too important to me-- I want the reading to be confident for the querant. Seconly, reading in such a public light may cross messages for people. Thirdly, having read and been read by several reliable people, I've never seen a Who, what, when, where, why method. I'm not sure how legitamate it is. Every reader I've been to, myself included, did not ask questions prior to, which makes me question the method. BUT I am interested to know how UL arrived at her chosen method. How did you arrive at the decision to use that method?? I'm interested in people's methods and why they use them.
Now, on the flip side-- anyone who has studied tarot knows that if a message needs to be sent, it will find a way. And they also know that Tarot is for clarification. Sometimes it is very specific, sometimes it isn't. But that is up to the interpreter. The cards themselves deliver the message; how specific usually depends on the reader-- a less specific message does not mean a less gifted reader, and it doesn't mean they are a fraud. Perhaps they are new, or perhaps they aren't being intuitive, or perhaps they have not yet connected with their cards. It could be several reasons.
So I can see both the point of view of Ul and theEnglishman both.
By the way-- not to sound like a b*tch, but please no one ask me for a reading. With the recent death of my own mother I wouldn't attempt it right now.
