Self doubt

Hi everyone,

I posted this in my welcome post but thought I might get more of a response here. Sorry for doubling up :)

I've dabbled in exploring my spiritual side on and off over many years. I do card readings mainly for myself, but have also done them for friends in person and also strangers online. I've gotten great feedback about how relevant and useful my readings are. My problem is, I feel like a fraud. I've only ever done it as a hobby and a bit of fun and have never promised results for anyone. I have the utmost respect for "real" practitioners but I have this nagging element of doubt with regards to my own ability. I have several sets of Doreen Virtue's cards and part of me wonders if the reading would be useful under any circumstances (meaning the cards are just generally positive and beautiful so you could apply the advice to anyone with any situation). As I said, I have huge respect for others who practice card readings but I'm not sure if I believe 100% in myself. Thoughts? Advice?

You could try working with a real deck of Tarot cards and see how you make out - a deck based on the Rider-Waite deck.

There are many professional Tarot readers, as well as other kinds of readers (such as intuitive readers who don't use cards) who, usually in the beginning stages of their careers, doubt themselves; but as time goes by, and especially if they receive positive feedback from clients, gain confidence

Hello IvyRivers,

Welcome to this forum. I will love for you to do a reading on me that way you can practice.

Don't sweat it. I would like you to do a reading for me. I feel like most "real psychics" are bullspit. Trust yourself and trust that what is revealed to me in the reading is what I am meant to know.
